How do you make a prgm game into an Application so you don't take up so much RAM?

Well, I believe there was a flash app that would actually convert basic programs into flash applications. But I can't find it so I'm not quite sure if it's even around anymore...

How do you run Basicbuilder? I've downloaded it but I don't know how to work it.

Why not just archive it? That gets it out of RAM too.

I don't really understand how to use the readme. The readme is all messed up looking and it's very hard to understand.

BTW: Archiving it would free up RAM but you wouldn't be able to run the program because it's archived.

flash debugger comes with a free .hex file signer. If you have windows, do this: Start menu, program files, Ti Flash Debugger, Wappsign. That little program isn't too hard to figure out.

Just so you guys know, if you upload BasicBuilder APPS, you are technically supposed to include the .8xp files with the .8xk. The author says you have to in its readme. I haven't held CG to that yet, but will.

It was written by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, a prominent philosopher that influences modern thought today. Anyways, it means, pretty much, "All gods are dead: so now the superhumans can live! Thus Spoke Zarathustra"

And yes, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is the theme music from 2001, if you must ask (as I'm sure you will).

Does the fact that APPS have to take up 16k pages mean that most of the time the Basic programs will take up more space?

it depends. JcPak2, the one i just made that's a bunch of my so called "games", saves 20k of ram. It packs the basic progs quite a bit.
