It has been proven, by the way, that there is no largest prime number

Dang, those are some nice looking sprites  I recognize them easily enough with the knowledge that it's starcraft, but otherwise I'd have a harder time placing what they do exactly
That's just it. I have one for the bunker, but it's so small that no one would recognize it unless I told them it was from Starcraft

Hmm, not sure, although by the size of the first, I guess it's the supply depot, right?
Also is the second one the factory?
Right on both. Okay, I'm confident now  Thanks!

Do you know how to use Pt-Mask / Plot1() from the .html list of Axe Commands? That might be what you're looking for

Here's a couple more. If you guys recognize them, I'll be at full confidence and won't need to ask about anymore that I work on

ah, so the barracks is smaller than usual, that's probably why i didn't recognise it...
Yeah, I'm making the Nexus, Hatcheries, Command Centers, Lairs and Hives 64 x 64, and the rest 32x32 or 16 x 16. So the sizes will be a little bit out of proportion.

I think the CC might need some retouches at the top because a few pixels are missing, though.
Ah, thanks for catching that. I will say, I had to make the barracks small to save tile space, so that took A LOT more touching up than the CC did

I'm trying a particular method for creating sprites--namely, taking an image, converting it to 16 color, painting in major areas black and white, and converting the rest to monochrome. If I were to tell you the context is Starcraft, could you tell me what these two buildings are? I'm asking so that I can know how well I'm doing. These sprites will be for Starcraft: Zeratul.

That actually doesn't save much space, right? (Unless prgm is a 2 byte token and you use program names that are longer than 1 character?)
Program names for fonts have to be 8 characters long, no less. However, the big issue is how does the calculator know what program is mapped to 0 and what program is mapped to 1 unless you tell it? And if you tell it, that takes a lot of space.
Not necessarily. I was thinking of having it be in the font files itself, but that might have conflicting fonts. So then I thought of a font name that was just for that program. You could even have primary and secondary names in the file, and still save bytes. So, file prgmA, and prgmB have a primary name of "SADTest2", and a secondary name of "Hellowrd". If SADTest2 has, say, two files that both claim to be the 1 file, then it tries the secondary name.
Does this make sense at all?
It doesn't, but it sounds like you're making it a little too complicated. It would be much easier--which I may or may not do--to have a primary name selected, one that's used for all fonts, 6 characters long--and have a 2-digit number following the name. For instance, ZERATU01, ZERATU02, ZERATU00, etc.

Since it accepts .wad files, I'll have to try this with Chex Quest  Keep up the good work!

Actually, why not have a way to map all your programs to some value or something. Like have PrgmA map to 0, PrgmB map to 1, etc, then you could do:
int("0
int("1
for A and B respectively. Saves bytes, at least, and int remains as int and won't get confused.
It might save confusion, but for the most part I really don't think it will save space. There are exceptions, but I can't think of many

I guess it's better that way, though, especially if someone uses the function over 500 times in a game. It doesn't sound like much, but 500 bytes can make a big difference. Sometimes, someone may only have 800 bytes of RAM left to run his game.
You know, you've got a point there.

By the way I forgot, but can the fonts be archived? With pics like this we might run out of RAM fast.
Yeah, you can archive fonts.

I've changed real( to int( to fix a bunch of bugs I was receiving. Basically, I'm having trouble working with 2-byte tokens, and real( is a two-byte token.
You can still use int( to do math as long as you don't use the name of a font that's on your calculator. For instance, you can use int(1.34), and you can also use int(ABCDEFGH) as long as pgrmABCDEFGH is not on your calculator.
