Ah, thanks!

I initially did, but then I put it on pastebin and that messed it up (gave me "appv" in small letters). So, there's a problem solved!

If you simply want to read data from an archived appvar, then you could copy it to a file.

GetCalc("appvAPPVAR",File)

Where File is the token for a Y-Var (Y0-Y9).

Once the appvar is copied to a file, you can read from it like a pointer.

GetCalc("appvAPPVAR",Y0)
{Y0}→A


This would store the first byte of your appvar to the pointer A.

Only two three questions for me ;D
Does the copying work if the appvar is huge (like 10325 bytes) ?
Is the file automatically removed at the end of the program ?
How many RAM of files do we dispose of (if I want a lot of huge files) ?

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

Copying will work for virtually any size, you just need to make sure that you have enough RAM for the destination you're copying to.

Files, if I'm not mistaken, are pointers to variables in flash, so you have no need to worry about removing them.

Files shouldn't affect your RAM unless you need to copy something from them to RAM. I believe the size limit for a file is somewhere around 39000 bytes, but I could be wrong.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Thanks.

I just added a bit more. The tutorial now also touches on accessing strings, and I began a section on utilizing hacked variables.
