I think the entire game is supposed to run at around 10FPS, which is probably low enough for TI-Nspire screen to look good enough. gbc4nspire runs at about 12FPS I think (the gameboy's 60FPS divided by the frameskip of 5)

calc84maniac: but doesn't gbc4nspire synchronize with the screen refresh? Could you tell us more about this?

Nah, gbc4nspire was written before anything was known about that stuff. All I use in gbc4nspire is keypad input, writing to the frame buffer, and using a timer to process frames at around 60Hz (every 5th frame is displayed to the screen). The timer is ignored if you hold down the "*" key, though.

Edit:
DJ, apcalc never said that it ran at 10FPS, he said that he had no almost delay, so it was probably running at a much higher FPS

Cool to hear

Yes, there is an 83+ version of Chip's Challenge, by calc84maniac:

Ok, I need some help here.  I am in the process of deciding how the program will run different .DAT files.  Which of these options would you prefer:

(1) Have a computer program parse the data file, and you send one .tns file to your calc which will play the data in that file only (calculator independent, except for the fact that the acutal .tns document is run on the calc).

(2) Have the calculator program act much like gbc4nspire, asking you to select a .DAT.tns file at the beginning of the program, and it parses it on the spot (computer independent).

(3) A blend of these two.  A computer program that will parse the .DAT file into a .tns file, but there will still be a menu at the beginning of the calculator program asking you to select a level set.
