When it comes to calculator languages, there are pretty much four options.

TI-BASIC is the one that you're probably already familiar with. Slow, but very good for math.

Hybrid TI-BASIC is an interesting one. By running a certain App when running TI-BASIC programs, the programs can be expanded with new functions. Most of the functions allow you to do things such as drawing a lot of graphics very quickly and saving data to appvars. Hybrid TI-BASIC is definitely something I recommend if you don't want to learn a completely new language such as Axe or Asm, since those can be very complex. If you want to start using hybrid TI-BASIC, I recommend Doors CS.

You said earlier that you have already tried to learn Axe, so I don't really have a lot more to say about this. It gets very close to the speed as Asm, while being simpler than Asm and harder than TI-BASIC.

Asm (which is the same thing as programming in hex) is very low-level and tricky, although it gives you access to pretty much everything there is. Asm should generally be programmed on a computer - there's not much on-calc editing support. Axe is a good replacement for Asm unless you need exactly every resource that the calculator has, since Axe actually does compiles your code into what an Asm program is like.

(-1,0,0,"text") I had no idea that worked in basic, it looks like three coordinates to me, 3D then.

That's not it!

Maybe it does, I'm not too sure. I don't like messing around with hardware

959: You know that the answer to WFRNG always is 29. ALWAYS.

It does on the 83+SE too? Because that calc had no clock function. It had crystal timers, though.

The 83+SE has all of the hardware needed - it's just the OS that doesn't support it, if I recall correctly.

What is the abcd part of the title?  Obviously understand version numbers and completion percent, but abcd?

0.1a, 0.1b?

The axe version did It crashed my nspire bad enough to need a battery pull. It crashed outside the emu.

I would assume processes could still crash the calc if they're naughty and have too much power, though, right?

So, could a ROM of KnightOS be legally distributed? I mean, the ROM's mainly used for the OS, and since this is going to be a free OS we should be able to distribute the ROM as well, right? Or, are there other copyrighted parts of the ROM that remain?

It would, because the ROM would not contain any code from TI.

Aren't the boot pages and such unable to be replaced?

Well, you can't make games faster just because you have more calcs...
