i'm using firefox. and i think it's just my computer's security settings acting up or something. but i can still install progs off of the TI homepage, which is odd. are there copies of axe anywhere besides here?

while using xLIB a LOT today, i found that you can recall pics and store/create 255 pics with xLIB, which includes archived pics.
what do you mean "subprograms" with picarc?
ehh, i have another question. is there any way i can make randInt based off of probability? because i want to create the "horse shop" where you can buy things to increase the probability of a specific horse winning.

yeah, my computer wont let me load files from this site for some reason, so i can't use axe, but i dont think i'm ready for it anyway. and yeah, i'm printing out the readme now

ahh okay. yeah, i started programming like 6 months ago, so i only have a small arsenal of commands i'm really confident with.
i have xLIB installed on my calc, but i'm not really sure how to use it xD what is it used for?

Xtravar just made my day. thank you!  does everybody who will be using the programs involving pics(11-255) need to have xtravar?

oh, i didn't realize how old this topic was xD sorry but yeah, this project definitely deserves more work. it's amazing now. i've never really seen any good shooters besides this. can you get grayscale in basic progs?

thanks guys! and yeah, i decided that i will just use normal pics xD
the one thing i hate is just how you can only have up to 10 stored pics.. it gets annoying when i want to have several complex programs on my calc that involve a lot of pics.
now i'm working on the "horse's market", where you can buy your horse food and gear to make it more likely to win P:

thank you and i still don't understand text sprites. so they're used to make "blocks" of pixels appear on the graph screen?

i've heard of text sprites before, but they looked too confusing for me. i'll give them a try  thank you!

I'll have to test it out later because i'm going bowling now, but the syntax makes sense!!
thank you!!!
oh, is there a way to convert pictures to code efficiently? i got a pic-to-program converter on the TI website, but it's terrible with memory because it turns on each individual pxl, and an error always pops up halfway through converting.
because i dont want to have to upload each individual pic along with the main program when sending it to other people.

Heyyy guys! I'm new to the forum Anywayy, i'm not sure if we're supposed to do BASIC code in a special box when posting like on other forums, but here i goooo. I'm making a horse racing game for my calculator, which involves selecting one of five horses (i had a friend do cool graphics for each one  ), and placing a bet on a horse . I've made the racing animation work, yet it takes up tonsss of memory, because it wanted to have the winning horse in front of the others in each animation. So, being the TI-noob that i am, i made a seperate race code for each horses' victory. Is there anyway I can shrink it down to code for just one race? Here it is: :ClrHome :ClrDraw :randInt(1,5)->R :If R=1:Then :ClrHome :For(X,2,16) //it's starting at 2 so the other horses can be "behind" the lead horse :Output(2,X,"o //row #2 is first lane so the race is more in the center of the screen :Output(3,X-1,"o :Output(4,X-1,"o :Output(5,X-1,"o :Output(6,X-1,"o :For(Y,1,150) :End :Output(2,X," " :Output(3,X-1," " :Output(4,X-1," " :Output(5,X-1," " :Output(6,X-1," " :End :Goto AE //the victory scene is on lbl AE :End Now this code would be repeated for all 5 potential R values (each horse). Is there any way I can avoid repeating this code, but still have one horse winning? (In this case, the horse in lane 1 won)
