S-0406F: nothin
(but speaking of such oddities, i'll think i'll go start another topic to discuss another one that's been puzzling me.....)

i'd say to go for consistency throughout the game. If lots of other things have cool made-up names, then go with archaeowyrm, otherwise, stick with Twin-Serpent

(this probably won't change anything, but.....) try removing a battery, then holding DEL or STAT while you put it back in. this puts the calc's boot code into 'waiting-for-os' mode. then hook it up and send it.

i've never tried to install that specific one, but IIRC, the normal OS for an 84 is purty darn big. are you sure you waited long enough? (no offense to your ability to be patient, just being thorough )

for the longest time, i didn't even know that you COULD display text using the Pause command. I just used Disp, then Pause with no argument

and aren't the dimensions correct....?
i think they're referring to the only 95x63 pixels that are available to the non-assembly user

are NEW nspires (ie, the ones on the shelf at office depot) upgraded with OS 2.1 yet? Slash, is it too late for an interested programmer to buy their first nspire?

I once wrote a game that had to make the whole screen black as a background everytime it started up, like this:
For(A,1,95) For(B,1,63) Pxl-On(B,A) End End that took FOREVER then i discovered you could just tinker with the window settings and use Line( 63 times. Much faster!
EDIT: (note that I also used to use closing parentheses

i stand corrected: matthias, could you perhaps explain to us the purpose of this program?

the calc ALWAYS loads the program so that the start of the executable part is at $9D95 --it doesn't matter where the program is stored when not in use i know that you don't mean you're running AsmComp( twice because the calc doesn't let you do that; and even after you've done it once, you can't read the hex code anymore unless you have an emulator; also i tried that on an emulator and i can't replicate it. are you using a faulty on-calc assembler like the (unfinished) Chasm? as for $9893 / $9398, they are parts of appBackupScreen and PlotSScreen respectively. there's no reason why a program would call that unless you've manually loaded code there. also, why would you want a program like that one? it just overflows the stack and crashes the calc.

I think you were thinking add, or multiply by two. no, i actually meant multiply the 'n' values for two different keys together. the resulting number has 4 primes, each having about half as many digits as ONE of the n's. the probability of selecting a correct factor is doubled.

oops, sorry! I meant to say 1024 bit. I was just testing you all....slash, I was 50 years ahead in computer technology. good job DJ!
