I think the above way you just wrote is better. Having a different program for each type of calculator is more annoying in my opinion than a single, insignificantly larger program that works for every calculator. I might add a command that returns the exact type of calculator and operating system version, not just 15MHz support.
Cool. I think there should be compiler directives. Maybe something like a "CIf" statement: CIf OS=2.53 code here compiled if OS=2.53 Else other code here compiled if OS!=2.53 End Would this work?

I've already added it, this is how it works. You will use the command "Full" found in the modes page and it stands for full speed mode. However, the command also returns a value. It will be false (zero) if the calculator does not support 15MHz and true (non-zero) if it does. So if you had a game you only wanted to be able to run on 15MHz calcs, you can do this:
:!If Full
:Return
:End
That would quit the game if the Full command failed. If you don't care about the type of calc, then you just use it normally like this:
:Full
The command "Normal" returns to regular speed and doesn't return a value since it can never fail.
Awesome! I can't wait for 0.0.7...

By the way, I added a 15MHz mode in the next version and its incredible! Why didn't I know about this when making pyoro? I could've had 8 level grayscale or something! But the downside is that if you use this mode, your games will run 3 times slower with an 83+ than with the other calculators so compatibility becomes an issue.
Can we chose to have 6mhz if we want? This would allow games to run the same, when speed is not an issue. Could we do something like .6MHZ and .15MHZ to control the speed at the beginning?

Well what about if you had specific code for 84+'s and some for 83+'s and you wanted the compiler to smartly compile it, like a clock function that calls the clock on one, and for the 83+ it just uses cycles or something.
It would help for the more advanced users.
I like this idea and I think it would be a nice feature.

Silly zTrumpet, trying to optimize while still in development stage  That's actually how I code all the time. I rarely find huge optimizations afterward. 1: Fix bugs...
B: You can attack dead enemies-Rewrite some code in the "Choose who to attack" area will fix this.
5: Make attacker step forward 3 pixels. Done! Here's the screenie! I think there are four battles in the screenie, and the first and last are probably the coolest. What do you guys think? Edit: Does anyone want to see the code for this? If anyone wants, I can upload the code.

Keep in mind, though, that if like 60% of these 80 posts are just spam, this isn't that great, though. On the old board when we had 4000 posts in a month, about 2000 were in the randomness section and 500 in the offtopic section. Now, there are 2000+ posts, but most are calc-related.
Wow, >50% non-calc? That's a lot.

Actually, I was thinking of changing the single quote to be an ascii character constant like 'A'. Not sure what will replace it yet, maybe the decimal point since I haven't used it yet and its a single key press instead of [2nd][angle][down][enter] I like that idea, but does it rule out floating point numbers?

Nice Eeems! Can you make it pink and message us about lobsters?

A: Moves don't do the same damage every time-I'm referencing the wrong list/list element somewhere.
Done-I used Ans instead of B...

Great! Good luck!

I think a heading like
:"AXE
would be sufficient and there would be other options in the App as well.
Well any MirageOS program called Axe would show up then
Maybe just 'Axe? Since ' is the symbol for comments anyway?
This ^^^
Genius! This ^^^

The way I would personally like it is simple one-line headers (something akin to MirageOS headers in Basic, but not exactly the same) and then options in the App to control other options and program output. And i have seen games (such as factory theta for example) that do end in theta, so thats not an entirely foolproof method.
I think the same as Builderboy... I think a heading like :"AXE would be sufficient and there would be other options in the App as well.

Looks great! Who says Basic programs cant look awesome? Not me!
Indeed Basic programs can look awesome! Certain people (like jmaster) can do awesome things in basic. Keep up the great work!

In the past two/three days I have made HUGE progress! I have 5 things left to do on the battle engine before I consider it "done for now": 1: Fix bugs... A: Moves don't do the same damage every time-I'm referencing the wrong list/list element somewhere. B: You can attack dead enemies-Rewrite some code in the "Choose who to attack" area will fix this. 2: Add Mana Point support (Now everything is 0 mana to use). 3: Add animations. 4: Add end of battle/stats up screen. 5: Make attacker step forward 3 pixels. Once I've fixed the two bugs, I'll upload a screenie... Edit: Added a 5th thing to do...
