He already has a variable like that. I'm not quite sure where this confusion began...

Where to?

Programming Ideas, I would assume.

The really weird thing that scared me is that I could see them as they scrolled their way onto my screen. They seemed to just keep coming, and coming, and coming............

Programs have different sized VAT entries depending on the length of their names. An empty program with only one letter in its name takes 10 bytes, while the same program named with 8 letters would be 17 bytes. (8-1=7=17-10) Oh, and that's an... interesting..

Another good game like this is Wormy for the TI-86.
For the 82, there is this.

Actually, I did it at the bottom of the screen...

It would probably go through the top too though. As for what happened, it was an instant RAM cleared message.

EDIT: I tested it at the top.... BSOD (LCD test mode)

I have noticed a problem with the collision detection. It is possible, at certain angles, to go through the bottom line. This crashes, probably because one is worming through the RAM outside of the graph buffer.

Don't worry about a screenshot now, it probably wouldn't appear for a while anyway. I uploaded a screenshot with Bot Attack, and it has not been approved yet.

I was thinking about making a game like this....

Oh well, I can probably think of other things

*sighs about the ugly blurred smile^^*

I suggest that you take a look at Patrick Davidson's source code file, collide.asm. You can find it with his game, Phoenix for the 83+.

You know...250 bots kinda lags the calc a bit :) In response to this statement, I have been thinking of ways to make it faster. Currently, I have a version which processes the bots at Silver Edition speed if possible, normal speed if the calculator is a regular 83+. Hopefully I can test this versio...

My 83+SE is still very clean after a year and a half. Two things that help: My 83+SE has a black case because of the viewscreen port. :D I keep my calculator(s) in my pockets so often that they get polished. :roll: I've actually kept graphing calculators in my right pocket for so long that I have a ...

mmm... Tankers... *goes to grab 89T and play some*

Yes, with bcall(_vputs). All you have to do is set fracDrawLFont, (IY + fontFlags) according to the TI-83+ SDK. Assembly in 28 Days says TextWrite, (IY + SGrFlags) though.
