The 86 had it first, and its basic is faster :P

86 Basic you could load any 8 letter var (excluding commands) as any var type.

Indeed, Axe doesn't have implicit multiplication. In fact, if you have, say, "ABC" in your code, it will evaluate just like C alone would, but more slowly. (Since it loads A, then B, and finally C) ;)

I thought it loaded A. This is where the NSpire Basic wins: multiple character variables.

Nope, Axe does exactly what you type: It does the first operation (which just loads A), then the second (loading B), then the third.

Really? I thought Nspire Math BASIC was quite fast and only the display stuff were slow? That said, 86 BASIC was slower than on the 82, 83, 83+ and 85, though.

Well, true but at least it still had all the functions, like getkey, circle and output :P

But anyways, perhaps someone else could write me a function that does the following for my code.....

For walls ranging from left to right 12 sprites (F) and 4 sprites deep(A)

If Your position + the wall's position relative to you is on (in GDB1)
Draw a column That is at the correct F location, and that is A*8 pixels away from the top and bottom of the screen, using the picvar + the depth (for offset to other pics in mem, Pic1+A*16 or similar)
End
End
End
Dispgraph :P

That's what my code is supposed to do.
