Welcome back.  I'm new (as of May) to calc forums, so I doubt if you know me.  Good luck with programming!

Also I think I am not really alone who is concerned about the behaviour of some people there. Have you noticed how some people seems to have nearly migrated over here in the past year, or people who went to other places, announcing their projects, but not staying there?

I feel myself migrating over here form UTI. This site has a lot more going on and almost everyone is friendlier.  There are still some great people on UTI though.

9) would be also true on the 83+. I can't count anymore how many 82/83+ programs I tried that forgets to turn axises off on startup. It's annoying.

It's also incredible the number of programs that don't turn the Stat Plots off.  I normally have to add that in myself.

Wow, if a NES emulator might be possible for a Nspire, I would be sure to get one.

As the resident game-maker for the school...

As the resedent game-maker for the school I go to, I know for a fact that people play games.  I have had friends/classmates hooked on almost everything: (Portal, Nibbles, Donut Quest, Ztris, Drifter, Orbix, Fishy, and Illusiat 13 just to name a few.)
People still play games on thier calcs because you can play these games in class.

You would probably just need to learn a bit of the xLIB commands for example, some of which are not too hard.

This is a great example of where we are now.  xLib and Celtic III are libs that let basic programers make amazing looking games without having to know asm.  You would not have to know these commands if you still plan on working in pure basic, but if you ever felt like your games needed faster or better graphics, have at it.
I hope you get back into programming.  I would love to see FFTOM3.  You know how fun programing is, and you can do it quite well.  If you make games, people will play them.

Hmm, functions could be fun...
How easy are they to work with?

I like your difficulties.
Do you have the option for people to keep building at a place after they get a hotel on it?  I sometimes play with that rule.  It can get bad when you land on a place with something like 2 hotels and a house.

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize I pretty much was necroing...

Hitoshi, your games are awesome! I think I'll try one.  Looks like it'll be FFTOM2...
