Well where is the 64th exactly? I've just never seen a row that wouldn't turn on I guess ???

Come to think of it, I haven't seen any virtual pet programs for the TI's comparable to the real virtual pets.  Let me know if you need any extra help with the coding, this is a cool idea.

Ya, the only graphical one I saw was that Bunny Gochi one I mentioned in the first post but it is all home screen I think. Thanks for the offer :) I may have to (probably will :P) take you up on that offer sometime.

If you look very carefully at your calc LCD, you'll notice 64 rows of pixels :P (unless you got a TI-Nspire)

Whats weird is that under no circumstance is the 64th row used by the TiOS at all ??? Maybe they liked odd numbers :P

I remember in xLIB you could actually store to row 64, though, in later versions. It made a pic of 779 bytes instead of 767. You had to store your sprites in another pic, overwrite LCD with the spritesheet you want them on, then display on row 8 of it, and store with real(9 command. Do not store with Storepic nor open-save your file in another image editor cuz then the row may get erased.

Ya, I've never seen it used anywhere :P One of us should get a job at TI as a programmer and make everything so we are able to use it better :P

It only uses 63 rows so they can place the x axis on the center pixel row.

I'm going to assume they just tossed the run indicator in for that purpose too, so they had an excuse to not leave to rows unusable.

the run indicator isn't tossed in, it has a very important purpose, but graphing only uses 95 pixels instead of 96 for that reason also.

Is the important purpose to show that the program is running? Because depending on the case it isn't that necessary and looks bad if you're going for a professional look. But anywho.

Always remember that in ASM you can use all 96x64, though. Even using xLIB you can, except the run indicator, unless disabled, will show over the stuff at the top right.

For BASIC there are various tools to disable the run indicator, except if you use archive/unarchive commands, it's enabled back.

The run indicator indicates the current state, it tells you that it hasn't crashed.  It's pretty important even though it looks unprofessional in games.

the thing, though, in BASIC, is that it's supposed to be impossible to crash a game. I assume it could be useful to make it easier to know if a program exited prematurely or is in paused mode, though.
