Yours is a very accurate and awesome port.  Great job again!

Vertical Text Sprites are a really great way to display large sprites on the screen.  I use this method for displaying the main menu graphic in Elmgon.  (This screenie is shown below, but those who have seen my first post my Elmgon topic have sceen it.)

The idea behind vertical text sprites is to keep the bottom row of text of the text command before it.  You can see that with this code:
:Text(3,0,"....       //4 periods
:Text(2,0,"          //7 spaces
:Text(1,0,".     .  //Period, 4 spaces, period
:Text(0,0," ...    //Space 3 periods

Now after you've sceen this (This next part is for 84 users only) press Mode and run the code again.  Suddenly the bottom row dosn't show up.  This is because the Ti-OS has set a flag, and displaying any table (matrix editor or 2nd graph) will reset the flag.  You can reset the flag in basic:
:G-T
:DispGraph
:Full

The main characters used are the period (10) space (0) List L (111) and Left Bracket (110).  By using these and other combinations you can make any sprite. (except for the 3 right most pixels and top 6 pixels)  This is a lot bigger than RecallPic and slower, but because it dosn't use a Pic var, it's worth it.
A program and screenie of the program are included.  The program will not optomize, like 4 spaces becoming ^ for example.  You can use this link http://weregoose.unitedti.org/bottomrow/ (The link is now dead, so try here, here, or here instead.) to find the bottom row for every token.  (It is worth noting that the List L and Finance N do not have buffer spaces at thier ends in the small font.)

Enjoy.   (The program takes the row you want and encodes it, as you can see in the screenie.)

Edit:  After I wrote this, TI released OS 2.53 MP.  It messes with the flag so you can't reset it with G-T.  Instead, you must use a small Asm program with this hex code: FDCB058EC9  However, on the old (read: better) OSes you can use G-T.
Good luck with this great technique!

That is such great news!  Personally, I would prefer a long, well-written story as opposed to less calculator space

cool ^^, I can't wait to test, altough this will most likely be in a long while. Don't give up, though, this will probably be the best calc RPG out there

*ZTrumpet agrees with both Hot Dog and DJ.   Do you think I could beta test too?

Wow, yet anothere great project released today!  This looks really cool!
Great job.

Wow, that's cool!  Sounds great!

LP calc games?!? EPIC!!!! /me thinks {AP} should

LP calc games!!!  Beyond Epic!  *ZTrumpet thinks {AP} should!!!  That'd be soooooo cool!

The videos look nice, although I didn't watch much. (Due to parents in the house and could hear sound. )

LP Calc games!

Okay, that's like a million questions, but I will attempt to answer them all:

Thanks!

Can getKey ever go back to the getKey of basic, or is it always GetScanCodes?

Probably not, but I will have a directkey command in the future (for multiple key presses)

That sounds great!  Does this mean you could hold down 2nd, Enter,  and Down at the same time and getKey would equal 1, 9, and 54 at the same time?

While is still PreTest, and Repeat is still PostTest, right?

Its pretest right now... was it post test in basic?  I've never used it before, but that would be very easy to change and also save 3 bytes.

Yes, it is post test in basic.

Can you check if sub( has a comma in it, and if so use it like it is in TiBasic? (If it dosn't have a comma, it's subroutien.)

Nope.  You will be able to do substrings like this: Str(5) gets 5th character in string.

How do you access multiple characters like:
sub("Name1Name2Name3",5(2)-4,5
This returns "Name2".  Can you access multiple characters in your other way.  If so, then you don't need sub( for sub. 

I have another 2 questions.  That makes 1,000,002 questions. :
Can you use the operators like xor and = like "Var1=Var2" or do they need to be "Var1: =Var2"?
Do you plan to use the operator not( for anything?

Thanks!
