Yeah I remember it crashed my Nspire and destroyed it, I WILL KILL YOU!

just kidding :D but it crashed :D I wonder what caused the crash? the Nspire can't handle some undocumented code, right?

That's correct. I modified my code to no longer use these undocumented commands (but, unfortunately, there's no chance of something similar happening with Mario... it's too far gone.)

true, for some games it might be a real challenge to get around it. I hope this didn't slowed down F-Zero too much

Btw will you have a low resolution mode for the regular 83+ version like the 68k version did? I wonder if this would speed up rendering for the 6 MHz model?

The resolution is already fairly low... by the way, it does indeed work on the Nspire... and the grayscale isn't bad at all. :D

Great to hear it's Nspire compatible and that it's still coming along quite nicely , I can't wait for more screenies and demos :)

I am finding the slowness of pixel fading on the Nspire very annoying, though.

Yeah I noticed that, it reminds me my old TI-82. It's weird when scrolling menus

What about changing the LCD delay? Kind of like ALCD fix by Jim?

That wouldn't work, since that delay is for the actual code, not how the screen appears.

Meanwhile, I have added some (possibly placeholder) acceleration and collision with walls. Hooray.

*ker-bump*

New screenshot and demo!

Added acceleration, collisions with walls, and TI-Nspire compatibility.
The AI is just holding down accelerate and turning left, but I'm hoping to add real AI sometime soon.

That looks awesome!  Plus, it shouldn't be too hard to win :D

did it slow down a bit, or was that the screenshot?

It probably did have *some* slowdown, but the major culprit I can think of is if you're not in Firefox.
