@ralphdspam, it's kind of a basic interpreter, but it's really neither. It'll be able to open/save as 8xp files, but I am building a sort of conversion engine that will allow users to turn .8xp programs into fully-functional .exe programs to run on the computer.
I'm sorry.  I still don't quite understand.  Will your program only parse through TI-BASIC commands or will it support no-stub ASM as well? 
It is a little confusing because an .8xp file could contain either one.  ???
Also, do you plan on adding support for 3rd party commands from xLib, CelticIII, Omnicalc, etc.?

Either way, you have a great idea, and I would like to see it take root.  :)

No, this is as small as I can make it without leaving part of it out.

And it's not really dangerous, your calc is empty anyways. It's not like you're going to lose all of your files.
You could always just speed up the tempo. ;)
or... Nyan OS!!!  :P

Fuuuu I couldn't make it in time.
Wait... wha?

All of the entries were great in their own way!  :D

I still feel disappointed that I couldn't finish that random number generator on time.  :P

I don't quite understand.  Is this a basic interpreter or a Z80 emulator? 

Either way, I'd go for that dinosaur!  :P

Hmm... Sound interesting.  It would be nice if we didn't have to fill that huge space with all the same number.  :/

@jkag - that's a pretty good idea. how do you edit nibbles in axe parser?

@ralphdspam - Just double checking, tilemapping levels means doing it like this, right?:

I'll be sure to check out those routines as soon as I can.
Yep, that's tilemapping.  :)

@ralphdspam - Yeah, I'm planning on releasing a level editor, but adding support for external levels will take some re-coding, because right now the 50 levels I'm using are all but hard-coded into the program itself, seeing as I can't really think of a way to scan through the appvars on the calc and determine which ones are levels/worlds and which aren't (a world is 10 levels, btw).
You can have a string at the beginning of the file and have your program check it.

For example, each of your level packs (or what you would like to call them) can start with [31415926] or something.  Then you would have your program scan through all of the appvars and list those that match up.

Right now I kind of a have a problem, a pretty minor problem, but it's there nonetheless. Anyways, the problem is that all 50 levels put together take up about 60,000 bytes of archive. To me that seems like a lot. What do you guys think? All the levels are packaged into 5 appvars of 12,000 bytes each, one appvar per each world. It's not so bad because the appvars can stay in Archive, I'm utilizing the File access ability of Axe (using Y1 and such), but to me it seems like most other games don't have level files that big. I'd be very interested to know how that Sam Heald guy made his Super Mario levels, if anyone knows anything.
(I'm assuming your levels are tilemapped.)  I have no idea how Sam Heald made his Mario Levels, but Run Length Encoding is an effective and easy-to-implement compression technique.
