I feel like there was a topic started by someone else who had this same idea...let me see if I can find it.

Edit:
Ah yes, it's not exactly the same I guess but very similar. Here it is.

I seriously thought this was a necropost to that topic :P

Anyway, wouldn't it be slow to have such a large pic being alternated while someone's also using the home screen, though? Especially with OS 2.53MP x.x

EDIT: meishe91, I think that was one of the 1000 Signs :D

Not that bad, since you're drawing directly to the screen, and not using OS 2.53MP's text display functions.
(And btw, setting the option to CLASSIC in [Mode] will make printing faster.)

And a special indicatior - nice :D But I'm not too sure what you can put there....

And here's the source code for the picture drawing:

Wow I remember that program. I wonder if bad stuff can happen when going at some places in the TI-OS? I remember someone made an interrupt-based grayscale routine to use in BASIC games in 2005, but it was extremly unstable due to conflicts with the TI-OS

Binary counter? That's better than a floating ribbon, at least.

I merged the two topics; I didn't realize someone had the same idea. :)

Hey, that actually would look better. Kinda like the Ubuntu writing-to-disk screen, or SmartView's file-loading popup. Yeah, that'd be nice.

I recall seeing a program like this before. It displayed a grayscale background on the home screen. I forgot the name and who made it, though. It was specifically for backgrounds.
It's about 3/4's of the way down this page.

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.

Oh right, yeah, it was a pi symbol. Ben got a few of his programs removed from ticalc.org a while ago so that's why I couldn't find it.

This could be interesting.  Not exactly useful, but fun and entertaining.

Where is it? I don't see what or see a screenshot of it.
