Check Brandon Wilson website and his calcstuff folder. He has there a extra ram page test routine.

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!
I hope it is 20 KB or 20000 bytes. hehehe  ;D

Can't wait to see some real action in the screenies. (epic ships battle, please)

New progress! Glad to see this is worked on again. I don't mind the size, btw. As long as it won't take more than 23900 ish bytes of RAM at once (so I have enough space for the VAT for other archived files) I don't really care how huge it is in terms of archive memory if the game is gonna be good.

can't wait to see more progress!

I decided to post the S.A.D. map here, rather than in the "Story Setting" area, although this will be the story setting post for the week.

A couple of notes.  First of all, the dashed line is a wormhole from one galaxy to the other, which will be described.  I have to edit the storyline, so you might find a "timeline" with years eariler than where I'm currently at.

Second, Balkos is there on the map.  It's tiny in scale, but it's a little purple moon if you look closely enough.

I plan on releasing an actual development build to the public this summer, but in the meantime, I realized I should post more screenies to keep interest up  ;D

Since I'm redoing the engine so that buildings are part of the tilemap, I've had to move to 16 x 16 tiles.  I took the time to redo the map to our new perspective.

wow nice, and you managed to still have the tiles look pretty nice even with the perspective change. Good job!
