I disagree with the 84+ extra RAM idea, though. It will single out everyone who got a TI-84+ made after March 2007. Those new 84+ lacks the extra 96 KB of RAM and only actually have 16 of it (which is accessed differently, IIRC). Remember the whole issues about people no longer being able to run TI-Boy SE, RealSound, Msd8x, Omnicalc RestoreMem(), etc.

I actually did not know that...we'll probably make an option instead, and have user ram available as default.

I wonder if the guy who made the program that checks if your calc has the extra RAM could let you use the code to detect this extra RAM so your game store the info in an alternative way when ran on a calc lacking the extra RAM? I forgot who it is but the program was located in a topic named "Extra RAM pages trouble" on UTI forums.

Also the TI-83+ Silver Edition has the entire 96 KB hidden RAM.

Ah, okay...I'll look into that sometime

It would really be terrible if you had to use the extra ram... I personally have a calc that was made just right after they changed the hardware, so I can't run TI-Boy, etc. Although playing pokemon was solved using my TI-89, if I can't play S.A.D., I would probably cry, and rickroll myself to death

Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

Don't worry, it won't be required.  It's just that some people would rather use the extra ram then use the 24 KB of user ram.

For those of you who noticed that I'm hammering away at these "ASM Tutorials", but not touching S.A.D., I felt you should know that these weeks are leaving me only 15-min breaks instead of 6-hour breaks.  Meaning, I lack the time to just sit down and program.  When I'm working with ASM on a large project, I need that time that I can just sit down and do it, where as I can work on tutorials in 15-1 hour increments.

Thanks for understanding, and remember that S.A.D. is not dead.

I understand very well, coding sometimes takes a lot of concentration and it doesn't work when you have to stop after 15 mins, since getting into it takes a while.

Speaking of SAD, the turn based version isn't dead either, I'm just don't have much free time either.
I hope eventually both will get some work done on them. :)

Me too.  Remember we all want SAD, so no progress is better than it being dead. ;D

You must not have heard, I have the turn-based version on hold, Ztrumpet.  I'd recommend you focus more on your other projects until we find out if it's an indefinite hold or not :)

Oh, okay, then I'm not going to work on it more for now.  Let me know if you want me to keep working, though. ;D

Quick progress update.  The app now takes 4 pages, and uses  approximately 20000 KB of user RAM, although the finished program will use much less RAM.  As I said before, if you want to run alpha versions on a hard calculator rather than an emulator, be prepared to spare the space.  I am now optimizing, and then the next screenshot/download will incorporate ships!
