Yea, and I believe many are faster than their 89 equivalents (eg 3D Graphing).

I feel like being creative.

If I copy all of the ion routines into the program, I may as well release it as a nostub program. @benryves: You mean that all the other shells that support ion don't attach the ion routines to the end of the program? I don't know anyone that still uses Ion for the 83+, so if it's not a problem on t...

Oh, so I'd have to include the ion routines in my program? I guess that's a small price to pay for the game to actually work. :) Does the 8k limit exist on both the 83 and the 83+ calculators?

What isn't the 89 allowed on?

Oh, and by the way this is for college.

But that same problem doesn't exist for the 83, does it? What I might do is write it for ion now, then go back and optimize it for MirageOS once it's completed. I want it to be compatible for both the 83 and 83+. But I've heard a lot about the 8k limit, something like it's executable code and not da...

Haha, well I guess the overwhelming majority have chosen the 89t. I think that that's what I'll get, as if I learn to program for that it will be more useful in the long run. Thanks for the input guys! PS: I'm going to start going pawn shop searching (or ebay) for a cheap, used 83+. That way, I'm no...

Another Question About Which Calculator to Buy

Ok, so I have two options. A) Get a free 84+SE B) Get a free 89 Titanium. My mom received a 150 dollar office depot card and she gave them to me to purchase a calculator. Well, at the Office Depot around here, both are 150 bucks, so I'd just be paying for tax. I would rather not get the Titanium, as...

Is MirageOS still the main shell that people use? I've been looking over the MirageOS routines, and I could shave off thousands of bytes by using them. I like Ion for its compatibility (it's what I've always used, aside from nostub), but there's so many more routines included with Mirage. What are y...

I might be close to releasing something, but I can't guarantee that it'll be done by then so I don't want to put it in writing. :) It should be very close, though.

Ok, well I got the grayscale to work. I just ldir-ed gbuf to gbuf2 and it turned out great. But then I decided it wasn't worth the extra 1000+ bytes it incurred onto the filesize just to put the characters in grayscale. And, as jim e said before, I really shouldn't be using it until I understand it....

Yea, I'm looking into a pseudo scrolling sort of thing. I'll probably shift the entire screen a pixel or two, then load in the missing bits from some sort of buffer, so as to avoid needing a clipping routine. But now, when you land on a tile it accurately displays it's name. All of the tile informat...

So last night, after basically getting the grayscale and everything to work, I decided that it just wasn't worth it. The size was much too large to be reasonable. So after I finished converting it to grayscale, I changed everything back to black and white and went to bed. This morning, I wrote up so...

Well my last working version is available for download in the Monopoly topic under Announce Your Projects. I'll try to make a screenshot tonight and upload it (although it won't be very comprehendible, the whole screen just jumps all over). And yea, I made sure to switch all my variables to I think ...

(I'm using Duck's GPP) Well, I have my black and white tilemap routine designed beforehand, without any issues. I went through and changed all the GetCSCs and the other various incompatible rom calls. And in addition to flickering, the tilemap pieces are tossed about randomly on the screen. I know (...
