Ah yes, forgot about that D: Revised into

int(AfPart(A/B
Erm, 2.99999999999999999 != 3 != 2...

How about round(AfPart(A/B),0 :)

Well, technically, 2.53 has modulus, but nobody seems to use it...
I'm sorry, but if TI thinks introducing a useful feature on a glitchy OS is a good idea... :P

That screenie looks wonderful!  Nice job! ;D

And about 84+MP modulus, you probably shouldn't use it since it wouldn't work on every other calc/OS.

Funny thing, actually.  Everybody says that its a glitchy OS, but I haven't found any bugs.
Unless you count slowness or some incompatibility as bugs.

Good point.  Didn't think of that.

That's such an annoying glitch. Adds several bytes and at least half an hour of debugging because I keep forgetting about it.

EDIT: Michael_Lee, I think if you do enough nested expressions of a certain type (I don't remember what) it RAM clears (that's right, on the homescreen).

EDIT2: Actually, one of the more visible bugs is this: http://www.brandonw.net (go down to "fixing TI's bugs for them"). Basically, a miscode on TI's part makes xLIB useless.

Wabbit gets updated pretty often, so you might want to update yours occasionally.

I'm still not really sure how to use modulus ??? But oh well, I can figure it out some other time :P

What do you mean? Modulus is just the remainder after division. For example, if you had an array of 3 rows of 3 entries per row, and X is the entry you're in (counting across each row first, then going down), X/3 is the row number, and X^3 is the column in that row.

I know what modulus is. But I don't know how to really use it or what I'd use it for. I never learned it in math, besides in like 4th grade when we just called it a remainder. I'd never heard the term "modulus" until Axe.

Also, about the screenshot. It looks great :)

Well, if it was added in 2.53, using it would make your game incompatible with 2.43 and the 83+ :(

Also awesome screenshot!

modulus is a very useful in programming and is found in many other languages as well. It can be used for many applications like finding if a number is prime or for finding a row or many other uses. If you continue on programming, even in other languages it would be good to learn and the syntax is incredibly simple, after all it's just like all the other operators.

Thanks for adding additional mines via scrolling!  That looks awesome!  By now the best Ti-83+ minesweeper game on the market. :D

Btw, what's the intended max for columns and rows?

Ya, I saw that it was used in C++ from a book I need to read.

Thanks!  That makes me really happy.

Currently 18 by 18.  18 feels arbitary, but it's because of the size limitation on the free RAM space.  18x18 is the maximum I could stuff into L1.
But if I use appvars instead of L1 to store my (temporary) map data, I could extend it infinitely (Although it would be best to add a limit, for the sake of speed and sanity).

TI should have added it to BASIC long ago. It's certainly more useful than the IS/DS functions :P

And back on topic, the updates look great!

What do those even do, anyways?  I've always wondered

Well, IS increments a variable by one, checks if it's greater than a value, and if it is, it skips the next statement :P Almost completely useless. The only time I've ever seen it used was when my math teacher used a combination of Goto/Lbls and IS to make a very crude type of For loop.
