This is just a thought for when this finally comes out, if you haven't thought of it yet. But since this is coming with a computer application too maybe it'd be handy to have a step-by-step image tutorial on how to do the computer stuff (that you or just someone makes) that way things might not get confusing in just a text tutorial. Just a thought Looks great though Can't wait
Nice Hot Dog. What will be this program dependencies by the way? Also, now that I see we can specify the height/width of fonts, will we eventually be able to use fonts of any size?
So every time I see you talk about the Output( font you say 6*8. So does that mean that we will be able to use the buffer row and column?

Also, now that I see we can specify the height/width of fonts, will we eventually be able to use fonts of any size?The program requires .NET, though I'm going to use Mono to get it to work on Mac and Linux. For worst coming to worst, I'll have a detailed section in the help file on how to manually create a font.You can use fonts of any size, though Output() will be strictly 6x8. Also, you can only have one font size per font file.

If you're asking about using the text buffer, the answer is no. The text you use in your game will not appear on the homescreen when your Ti-Basic program exits.

The text you use in your game will not appear on the homescreen when your Ti-Basic program exits.No, I don't mean the buffers related to the screen. The homescreen font is technically 6*8 pixels but only 5*7 is used for the actual font leaving the row of the far right and the bottom empty as a "buffer" row/column. It's the row/column that will erase things on the graphscreen if used (with the little font its the top row and right column). I was just curious if we were able to use those unused rows/columns or if we are still restricted to the 5*7 part.
Nice, could you remind me if word-wrapping was supported by the way? I forgot.

Awesome Will it be like Output( in the sense that it appears "above" everything else and doesn't really affect the row Disp gets displayed on?EDIT: Hot_Dog, you just passed your 1337th post.
