I'm glad this is coming along. I hope bug squashing goes well. =)

I'm glad to hear about some progress :) I was actually about to ask about how this was coming. Good luck on getting things working correctly and all.

My goal--just a goal mind you--is to have this ready to test by January.  The major headache portion is over and done.

That looks really nice :o So we could display the entire tilemap with just ln(! Good luck with the bugs!

I'm done with the "meat" of the program!  Three cheers!

Now that I'm working on the side dishes and the seasonings, there won't be any more screenshots, but I will definitely give progress updates.  To start with, the program now does everything Output( can do, even Output(A+100, B^5, sub(Str1 + Str2))

My next step is AND, XOR, OR and Mask

Couple of notes:

1. Taking into account how many people use tilemaps, if you use ln( and e^( , you can specify a negative value for the X Coordinate.  However, you cannot go lower than -99.  Also, if you go so far to the left that you go past the end of a string, you'll recieve an error.

2. It is now a requirement that pgrmFONTROUT (needed for Correlation) reside in Archive.  You'll recieve an error if the program is in RAM.  The reason for doing this is to keep anything but a garbage collect from moving the program to a different location during the execution of your Ti-Basic program.

I see. Does 1 means that we could simply take a huge string and simply move it around instead of using Sub?

That's right.  Although you can always stick with Sub when you convert Ti-Basic programs to allow Correlation.

Now the limit is -9999.  You can also specify a negative value for Y coordinates.  The limit is again -9999, although I only see this being used for e^( for values down to -15 for very logical reasons.

Hmm, I don't think I really understand the first note ??? Like you can offset a negative value to display but you can only see what would be on screen?

You can only see what would be on screen, yes.  But say you have a tilemap string 30 characters wide.  ln(-5, 1, Str0) is easier and faster than ln(1,1, sub(Str0,5,16))

Oh nice, it's faster! I was wondering what would be the speed gain. This could be very handy for vertical scrolling games. :D

Ah ok, that's what I thought you meant :) However didn't you say that word wrapping on the homescreen would be the same as with Output(?
