Thanks everyone, ill try and answer your responses
DJ i've tried the tnic but i haven't checked the file size yet. as i am away from my laptop i can't give you an exact answer, however the file size may vary with each picture. Also about the advanced graphics, i guess not to expect too much from the ti-nspire in terms of tilebased mapping, this would be done only after i have completed the foundations for the rest of the game before i even start. and even after that it might not be plausible. But it will have the graphics il1 have already put in which is why it is going to be a semi-graphical game (and you're right it would definitely be the hardest, but im not planning too far down the track sdue to all my other projects which have been halted)

While i havent mademuch progress in increasing my post count, i have made significant progress on the game. the game is now about 41 % complete and that's pretty good considering that it's only been a month since i really started. i would have liked to show progress with some screenshots but as im a away from my laptop i unfortunately cant convince you all that i have actually made progress.
i have created the home where you sleep and get messages (messages completed)
the building in which you work and get promoted in your job (completed
the uni in which you build up your strenght and intelligence (completed)
the bank (completed)
i still have the casino, a fast food restaurant and a few more shops

it is based around the original Stick RPG avaiable some where here... http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/stickrpg
wow i just checked it and there is 2 newer versions: stick rpg 2 and stick rpg complete that i hadn't noticed, the version i got (offline version) must be really old.
any that's for progress and when my game is finished it'll be similar but not the same as that as i have already added some of my own ideas into the game...

yes the stick game is old but its improved since i last saw it a when i wrote that post above. and no, stick graphics are some way off.

You may want to check the news article about TNIC. Someone had a similar problem before, but the solution might be there.

Also 5 KB seems fine I guess.

I finally got time to try this and it seemed interesting to play around with, although I couldn't figure out how to do much. Do you plan to include a readme.txt with next releases (with detailled info on how to play)?

BTW, a fullscreen pic on the nspire in 16 level grey would take 300 kb, exactly. Monochrome would be 75 kb.

Of course, compression would vastly improve it. That's not exactly BASIC-friendly, though, unless TI decides to implement JPG support.
