I'm really tempted to mess with that stuff on Casio FX-9860G/Graph 85 at one point. The homescreen text display on that thing is so friggin fast

That's pretty cool.  I like how it's four level, gradient style. ;D

Ya, I was trying to do it on the homescreen at first with Output( but then remembered that the Text( is faster.

It is?
There's only one problem: Hardcoding is faster than Ans.
As in Text(-1,0,0,"Hi is faster than 0:Text(-1,Ans,Ans,"Hi

isn't Ans faster only for mathematical operations?
like ans2 is faster than 22 albeit by a very small fraction of a second, but not when displaying things?

I've heard somewhere (I don't remember where, but it might be on TI|BD) that pxl-Test(X,Y:If Ans is faster than If pxl-Test(X,Y. Is there a way to predict whether using Ans in some expression is faster or slower than using the original expression itself?

Oh ya. I forgot that. Oh well, doesn't make much of a difference :P I think nemo is right though (I just got in the habit from seeing Weregoose's code :P).

I didn't knew Text was faster than Output? In my old tests, Output always seemed faster...

I think I've gotten the same test results.  Output seems faster.  Huh... :)

Yeah, I only tried in OS 1.12 through 1.14, though. Maybe it changed on the 84?

Oh, I could have sworn that you said Text( was faster, but I guess I remember it wrong or misread. Why does my little test program work on the graphscreen and not the homescreen then?

If you swap the Text(s with Output(s it doesn't work. Or are you talking about a different thing?

oh it's because on home screen output is aligned on a grid. To display a char at row 16 column 0 you would use Output(3,1,"HI" instead of Text(-1,16,0,"HI"

Well I just mean it is really flickery when you use Output( as opposed to Text when it seems almost flickerless.

By the way, what was your old test to see which is faster?

@ztrumpet
What test did you do?
