aaaah ok I see ^^, but on my side, stuff that technical is very hard to understand x.x. It's not necessarly just cuz of the low level programming, but more understanding 3D, because someone did a TI-BASIC raycaster before and I still couldn't understand, even if it was written in TI-BASIC, which I programmed for 9 years. Axcho from UTI is the person who did the program.

Never mind the key code question; I found the key codes here: http://hackspire.unsads.com/wiki/index.php/Memory-mapped_I/O_ports#900E0000_-_Keypad

Hmm, what is this "flickering" you speak of...

I believe he wants to know how to draw to the buffer without updating the screen.

Draw to another buffer and copy it over, I would think.

What is the best way to create a second buffer? I tried making a 320x240 array, but the program just crashed.

I don't have double buffering working yet, but I do have texture mapping:

The textures are only 8x8 though, since I had to hand-code them.

Darn awesome! How many FPS do you get approximately on calc? (remember you'll have to slow down framerate a bit for on-calc usage since the Nspire LCD is so blurry) Also are these textures 8x8?

Yup, the textures are 8x8.
I can't really tell how many FPS I'm getting. I think any numbers I get right now would be meaningless, since I have a feeling much of the time is spent refreshing the screen every time I draw a pixel.

A 320x240 array is wayyy too big. (Also, it doesn't help me if I don't know the size of the elements)

And what do you mean "refreshing the screen every time I draw a pixel"

I'm using the setPixel() function from the Ndless demo to draw to the screen, which I presume has to refresh the LCD every time it is called.
The array elements are ints.

320x240? Thats MASSIVE! Are there going to be any speed issues with checking against an array of that size?

Also you might be able to come up with a nifty verticle scaled texture-slice routine to speed things up mebbe? (or cheat and store pre-scaled textures to match each change in height position?)

Either way it looks awesome, i want to buy an Nspire just to test :D.

The array elements are ints.
I assume the setPixel() function writes to the LCD memory, and I know the LCD updates itself automatically when it refreshes. And each pixel is 4 bits, so using ints for the array makes it 8 times as big as it needs to be.
