Total Posts: 35 | Alright, now the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Has A 128KB ROM Chip But only 24KB are user available, and then theres like 4KB of ROM that The Calculator Uses. Some Say Its Not Accessable But From What I Read It Is And That The Calculator Doesn't Seem To Use Any Of The Spare Memory. But By looking online I found that people can use some kind of hook to swap the ROM memory. The ROM is apparently separated into pages. I Want To Know If Anyone Out There Has Made And App or Program That Allows A Person To Swap ROM Pages. If There Is A Program Or App out There for this Then please Give Me a Link.
Next Matter Of Buisness. Is It Me Or Does The For( command Run faster than any other TI-BASIC command? Im just curious.
Has anyone made/found an App yet to do this:
Run an Archrived Program that then in turn runs another Archrived Program and Then That Program Can use the Return command to go back the 1st Archrived Program without an ERROR or RAM CLEARED happening?

The For( command is slightly slower than an empty While( or Repeat command. However, in functional programmin, it is the second fastest. getkey is faster.

Total Posts: 35 | I got some more questions now.
1. Is there a way to make the shade( command color the screen in white instead of black? If not is there a command that works like shade( but inverts the color it shades in?
2. Is there a command that works like shade but is faster?
3. Is there a way to compress program files and be able to run them compressed? And I dont mean turning it into an app.
4. Is there a website that is about different algorithms? Like the Pong algorithm for example.
5. The TI-84 + SE screen resolution is mentioned in many places as being 62 by 94 pixels but, (If you never noticed) the resolution in fact is 63 by 95 pixels. I want to know if its possible to access those rows? (Besides using an ASM program)
6. (To me2)Ive seen flash gordon before and I recall the download stating it was never finished, and the project was scrapped.

I've never heard of being able to compress a program, let alone run one compressed.
Never heard of a Pong algorithm, it's simply incrementing the coordinates of your ball and changing which coordinate you increment when it reaches the edge, there is no formula for it. |

I watched the history channel once and it was about video games and the first being pong and how the system followed a simple algorithm to move the ball. |

To shade:
-47->Xmin
47->Xmax
-31->Ymin
31->Ymax
For(I{or any other letter variable},-47,47
Vertical I
End
This shades the screen across from left to right. To shade from the middle, keep the Window settings ad do as follows:
For(I,0,31
Horizontal I
Horizontal -I
End
A For loop is much faster than a shade command.
To erase across, do this:
For(I,-47,47
Line(I,31,I,-31,0
End
3: No
5: Not in BASIC (at least not that I know of)
6: There is a file on ticalc.org that works. if you want, I can e-mail it to you. Do not use Zflash, however, it does not work.
On the note of old games, only one guy has ever actually beaten the original Pac-Man. The final level was only half there (it only took half as much space onscreen as the other levels).
