If you stuck a country code after it, you would beat it .

I added pic stuff and the ability to copy archived programs to ram so that they can be executed (BASIC and TIOS-ASM).

I also added a function so that you can tell the calcs hardware version (83+, 83+SE etc).

Ill add some line routines, and maybe some text stuff too.

necro, you can already draw up to 10 tilemaps ontop of each other and scroll them at independant rates (only tile scrolling though).

360 degree sprite rotation would be very difficult and slow to implement, ive never even seen it done in asm really.

variable size tiles for use with the tilemap routine would acutally be rather difficult to implement. The only ways to do that would either slow it down or make it twice as big ... ill look into it.

I like the idea about flipped tiles in tilemaps but unfortunately the tiles are taken as unsigned. If you want the routine to take them as signed values then it would cut your tile count in half (limit you to 127 tiles).

Ive been thinking about adding 16-bit tile index support. It would make things a little different but only from my perspective ... so i suppose that wont bother too many people .

Oh and ill implement tifreak8x's suggestion rofl! .

(I also added 255 PIC support with reading from archive support too).

Well kevin i like your article. We at MaxCoderz have noticed that things are declining and we have come up with a plan that might help get the community back into action .

You could turn this game into an RPG where you have to 'Dance-Off!' against your enemies when you enter a battle?? ROFL! .

GP32 is ok but i wouldnt really recommend actually buying one. They cant stack up against the GameBoys as far as game library goes ... I say if you are going to get anything, go for a DS .

I still recommend getting a ti-83/4+ for the z80 leetness factor .

Those are some sweet sprites Kevin. But they dont stand a chance against Reuben .
