More generally, you can save up to 7 values between 0 and 99 in one element (one real number) in the form 0.AABBCCDDEEFFGG, where each pair of letters is a value to save. To get the xth value in variable Y, use iPart(E2fPart(YE[2x].

Actually it's closer to 6 values, as TI squanders a digit's worth of precision if the number is 14 digits long in the fpart/ipart section.

It does?  I believe it carries all 14 digits at all times without rounding, it just doesn't display them all when you use Disp or access on the homescreen

Huh, what do I know?  I was trying to make a screenie proving you wrong and instead proved myself wrong.  I guess it's all in how the code is coded on a given day.  Personally, this was the first time I tried coding it with the 10^(-2I part.

Is this really where Nyan cat came from?  Or is this another Nyan Cat cameo?

I think it's a cameo.

Oh, and if I made it, I wouldn't make it release Nyan Cat.  I find including things like that tacky.   Sorry.

Hey thepenguin, can I bump this idea again?

Feature idea:
Fast graphing - Doesn't update the screen until all the functions are drawn on the graph or after each function's drawn giving graphing a big speed boost.

so I guess I could use Mimis to learn right? cause for a while they will all be small programs

You probably want to learn on a computer, though; it'll be easier for you.

I found a readme error:

Copying and pasting:
    This is pretty straight forward. Press ON + PRGM to copy. ON + Enter to paste. Just remember that you
   can't copy more than 4000 bytes. But you wouldn't need to do that unless you are trying to break
   something.

Any idea why this was moved out of news by the way?

Yeah - Three staff members (including me) decided that it didn't have anything to do with News, so we moved it away from there.  It also seems that you're being a little provoking towards some of the zContest judges; it was also moved to help avoid unnecessary drama.

As you know, best project between all categories win a ti nspire cx cas, so if someone gives a 40/40, other projects haven't any chances to win the CX

I was under the impression that scores were relative only to their own category, and that you and a few select others would pick the Grand Champion to win the CX.  As the contest stands, now that I understand it better, I do agree that it's a little unfair.  However, since the ratings in a given category are relative to the judges judging the entries, I think it would work best if you looked at it like I assumed it would be determined, with contra having the ultimate say in which the very best program is.  It is very hard to make comparisons across categories, and because of that I would refrain from only looking at the scores to determine the Grand Champion.
Now, this is all my personal opinion; if contra would like to run the contest in a different way, that's certainly fine by me.

What about ON + MATH? It wouldn't replace anything and doesn't seem to be in use.

I was thinking ON + MATH, but that's a little random. It does fit my needs though.

Since On + + isn't taken in the editor, It think it's perfect because it's right above On + Enter, which is the other part of Copy/Paste.
