Sorry to hear. :(

By the way I hear you saying you have no way to send files to your calc more and more often lately. I might have forgotten, but is it because you lost your link cable or is it because your parents became even more strict on what you can do on your computer?

No, it's because I don't have admin access, and TI-Connect doesn't work without it.  I've been playing around with it to try and fix the problem.

How long will this contest be open? I had a good compression idea, but I'm too busy to work on it until this Sunday.

This long? O.O Won't you need the title screen at one point, though? Or is the code really easy to replace?

It should be easy to replace, so i'm just using the plain 768 bytes and replacing it near the end

So by l6 do you mean the list l6, or is it an axe variable? Sorry, I'm an axe n00b.

L6 is neither a List nor a variable, its whats known as a pointer.  What it does is 'points' to the location of the screen buffer.  What this means is that it gives you the location of start of the screen buffer in RAM.  In reality, L6 is just a number, just as the start address to the screen buffer is just a number
