Question dealing with earlier: the tilemapper I'm making reads from the RAM at random (like, rand→A at the beginning and for the rest of the program it reads from {A}).
Does this mean the width is variable?
If not what would the width be?  I'm thinking 256, but I'm not sure...

Depends on how you're storing the width?

For this:
Spoiler For optimized:
Here's the most optimized code I could come up with. Only while finding the top left corner does it fully calculate the position. The other corners reuse previously found values and conditionally add to them as necessary. Note that this will only work with the corner locations being calculated in the order below (although code can exist between calculations), and only for the player being at (45,29) due to optimizations tuned specifically to this coordinate.


Code: [Select]
.Top Left
29-Osub(D8)+J*[map_width]+(45-Nsub(D8)+I)+E→r₆
.Top Right
Nsub(O00)→r₅+r₆
.Bottom Left
Osub(O00)*[map_width]+r₆→r₆
.Bottom Right
r₅+r₆

Lbl D8
  /2/2/2
Return

Lbl O00
  //2≠⁻2
Return
Spoiler For unoptimized:
This is effectively what it does, only this is larger and slower.

Code: [Select]
.Top Left
29-O/2/2/2+J*[map_width]+(45-N/2/2/2+I)+E
.Top Right
29-O/2/2/2+J*[map_width]+(51-N/2/2/2+I)+E
.Bottom Left
35-O/2/2/2+J*[map_width]+(45-N/2/2/2+I)+E
.Bottom Right
35-O/2/2/2+J*[map_width]+(51-N/2/2/2+I)+E

Also wow, this topic grew fast...

Please don't put [code] tags in spoilers. It's tiny in Chrome :(

Okay, I kind of have the above figured out.
I'm thinking of making my old character explorer thing (here) more useful for two-byte tokens.
One idea is to text the token to the graphscreen.
Does the graphscreen do text wrapping, and if not, is there a way to make it?

How does the float{} function work? I've tried it, but everything after float{X} returned an error...

your x has to be a location in the memory.
Such as L1
School: East Central High School
 
Axe: 1.0.0
TI-84 +SE  ||| OS: 2.53 MP (patched) ||| Version: "M"
TI-Nspire    |||  Lent out, and never returned

Floating values are always nine bytes. It should be stored somewhere in RAM (such as after doing something like GetCalc("varA")→P). Then float{P} returns the value of the nine bytes pointed to (hence the curly braces after float{).

Is there a way to make RecallPic and StorePic work in a way so they don't overwrite the buffer being stored to?  So, instead of it working like Pt-Off, it would work like pt-on or pt-change?

You could do something like this:

Code: [Select]
For(F,0,767
{L3+F} or {L6+F}->{L6+F}
End

I thought the buffers were in bits though...that would work anyway?

Ah cool.
So that does xor, or is it like Pt-on?

Pt-On is OR, Pt-Change is XOR.

Pt-Off is really a mask, hence why it's so much bigger.
