Ok I feel really stupid for not asking this earlier when i realized that i might be entering the contest (I started coding last week).  But what would be the easiest way to display a title screen in Axe?

But isn't that only if you have your title screen stored to Pic1 already?

The last time i read the rules everything had to be in just one Axe program, or has that been changed?

Edit: Never mind I got an answer

I was just wondering...
What's the new equivelant for the posts/critique thread?
And/or bug diagnostics "Why is it crashing every other minute when it worked half an hour ago?!!?"

The question is, is there a way to just check if something is in archive and not try to create a file.

EDIT:
Level editor.  RAM clear when you press MATH, which is the enemy edit mode.
This worked perfectly until I added the ability to archive/unarchive.
A level appvar is included.
It won't compile in it's current form, just delete the first line.

The name, by the way, is a very compressed "CoRruPTeD EDiTor".  CRPDEDT.

The thread you choose is up to you.  I would only report Axe bugs in the bug reports section though, not bugs in your code.

You can check with getCalc("prgmA") first.  If it works, its in RAM.  If it fails, you can next try to read it to a file getCalc("prgmA",Y1) if that works, then its in ROM.  If it fails, it doesn't exist.

So like this:
If getCalc("prgmA")->A
  .RAM
Else
  If getCalc("prgmA",Y1)
    .ROM
  Else
    .NO
  End
End

I doubt it's an Axe bug.  It (enemy editing, not archiving/unarchiving) worked fine before.
The code.  That's close to what I did, but it has some extra details such as a level map if it's in RAM or it says "Level Archived" or "No Level".
I guess archiving/unarchiving can wait for V2.

We have archiving and unarchive via the "Archive " and "UnArchive " commands, which take a pointer to a name and return 0 if the operation failed, and IIRC 1 on success :D

Archiving and Unarchiving worked fine in themselves, it was just something it caused.  I've found Unarchiving to work fine, no problems, so I've narrowed down the problem to either something caused by the checks or the Archiving process.
Simplified it, got it working, posted it.  This one is stable.

if the batteries are low, will that effect the speed of the calculator? i know this isn't completely axe-related, but it's because i have this grayscale screen with some animated objects, and it's flickering quite a bit. my batteries are low though, and i was still planning on adding more objects on the screen. so if i put in new batteries, should the grayscale get less flickery? or would it not even be noticeable?

I don't think that matters.  If you have too many objects, there's no way around it, except optimization.

i think i found the major slowdown, but to optimize it for speed it'll add a good 50 more bytes onto the program. i have to take it though :/

In my opinion 50 bytes is well worth the speed increase.  You'll find i favor speed over size a lot ;D

I think that only happens on very very old calcs or certain newer ones (83+). I never had that issue on mine, but tr1p1ea reported it I think. I think it was because he was using interrupt-based grayscale, though, and interrupts are slightly slower with low batteries.

While cleaning out my calc's archive for the umpteenth time, I found something that actually works.
Remember Spacerun? Apparently, I got bored sometime in the early summer and spent some time on it.  I'm not sure if there are any bugs or whatnot, but I remember being kind of addicted to it myself, as I played it a lot.  I don't remember any problems.
There's a GIF in the zip file.
Controls are the same, though now you can use a more finger-friendly scheme of [Y=] and [GRAPH].
Oh, and the three buttons in between pause it.  And MODE.
Press the [^] key to disable the drawinv commands, thus making it run faster (and look weird).
As for the winning screen, just think of something cliché.
It runs a lot faster than in the screenshot.


Afterthought.
What's supposed to be added in axe version 1.0.0?
