There's a very strong possibility that Correlific Mode will be included again. However, it won't be nearly as complicated, and thus Correlation will not lose its focus.
Ti-Basic games will continue to run normally, but in a timely manner (like 10 times per second), Correlation will take time to draw a tilemap and up to 9 sprites. The programmer need only put the X and Y coordinates of the sprites/tilemap in L1 (List 1), which will give L1 20 elements.

I hope you can manage to solve all the issues without too much hassle. 
Well some, like the flipping issue, are easy to fix. Others, such as word wrap fixes, are more difficult. (I almost tore my hair out at the fixes I had to make to word wrap.) But I'm having fun  I'd have to say the most difficult part is keeping features to a minimum so that Correlation can be released in a timely manner. Unfortunately I thought of a cool "Quick Map Mode" feature which will require more code, as well as placing Map Mode in a seperate chapter of the manual.

One could actually make this project for calculator, incidentally, in a top-down mode.
My least favorite part of the game was accidentally jumping too late--if you nick the top edge of a tunnel in an attempt to jump on top of the tunnel, you blow up, even at slow speed.

I've played it, and it's an amazing game! Especially the backgrounds.
However, the Christmas special edition is SO HARD

Holy, I loved the colored version. Who would have thought it could be so easy

I'll take that as a "no", but it won't be hard to make my own

You know, this rocks. And it's interesting, a language not much harder than Basic, but with fast, beautiful games!

Is there a B_CALL routine or a function someone wrote to relocate a program in RAM?
For example, say I have these five variables in RAM:
A (located at $A000)
C
[D]
RUNNER
DOORS
Is there a routine that exists to move pgrmRUNNER to $A000 while shifting the other variables further down into RAM?
RUNNER
A
C
[D]
DOORS

For all the homescreen gamer fans out there, I'm going to do my best to provide access to the default Ti-83+ font or a font specified by the font hook (like fonts created for Omnicalc). You will use int("KK to select the default Ti-83+ font, and int("LL to use a font from the font hook.

Well no more explinations needed. I simply forgot that the branch table consists of equates less than $4000. I got confused thinking they were $4000 or more.

Hold it: I should have looked at my S.A.D. code. What was I thinking? Values are defined as less than $4000 from the start! 40 * 3 is NOT $4000 + (40 * 3)

But if the application runs from $4000, how can it run from $0216? If indeed $4000 is subtracted, why isn't $4000 subtracted from
B_CALL _OP2ExOP5 ;EQU 4216h
whenever it is in the application?

Ugh, here's a problem I'm confused about. Sorry I'm still confused. So, applications are run from $4000, .org $4000 right?
What's the difference between
PutSprite:
.dw 4216h
.db 2
and _OP2ExOP5 EQU 4216h ? I still don't understand how the calculator tells.

And to put it to rest:
bcall address:
- 0000h - 3FFFh -- Look at the currently running app
- 4000h - 7FFFh -- Look at page 1Bh/3Bh/7Bh
- 8000h - BFFFh -- Look at boot code
So depending whichever range the bcall falls into is where the OS will look. And the data is always stored the same: addrLow, addrHigh, page
So to make sure I understand, $4000 is always subtracted from the label?

If you look at $0028, and follow the code from there, you'll see that the OS swaps out the Flash page that your application is on with a page that has the OS routines. Then, when the routines are finished executing, it swaps the page back.
'Fraid it's not that easy. Remember that you can create your own B_CALL routines for Multi-page applications
I'm pretty sure it is that easy.  And what do you mean by creating your own B_CALL routines? The B_CALLs are the OS routines, so anything you have in your app isn't a B_CALL, and you can't use the B_CALL macro to call a routine in the app of your choice.
Maybe I'm just dead lost. But here's the deal: In a multi-page application, you could have a function called PutSprite on page 1. PutSprite: .dw 4135 .db 2 Suppose that the application is on flash page 14. How does the calculator know that PutSprite is a label on page 14 and not an OS routine? For all it knows, label 4135 could be a function in the Operating System
