not everything though and things can get really complicated and inefficient that way..

thats the idea

*cheer* Now all we need to do is persuade TI to make a HAL edition 83/4 with a vocoder and a round red camera instead of a screen.

I'm glad someone is finally using the neural network on calc. I've been pushing it for a while now.

Haha, it hasn't been implemented or even started yet, but I'd still like to try it

well, monopoly is the perfect game for it, as far as I can see. Many other games would be too complicated to use it easily.

I have a thought that might be on the same idea, might not. Doesn't Omnicalc have a setting that enables you to have two calcs running at the same time, virtually? I've noticed that switching from one to the other simply freezes the first one. Although it would make them both slower, why not use the same idea and have both calcs get a variable ammount of execution time? It would let you do, say, long conversions in the background whilst designing something entirely different in the foreground.

Of course,this might not be what you had in mind...

I guess the ideal way to pull the thing off (although I have no real clue how to do this, this is just a thought) would be to have one program execute a line of commands (from one : to the next and then have the second program execute a line, and so on back and forth. This would prevent any issues arising from both programs trying to access the same variables at the same time. Of course, it would be up to the writer of the individual programs to make sure the variables didn't interfere, unless that was their intention. (Or the graph or the screen for that matter.)

that's sort of the idea.. i had thoughts about storing the state of every variable during the switch (takes some time though) the most importand one being Ans, probebly X and theta aswell (commonly used in for loops) otherwise the program would execute totaly the wrong way (with loops not being the right length etc)
