It was an 8x8 "font" and he displayed a bunch of characters. :)

Actually, BBC is about the same size as RPL, but is much slower.
I actually wasn't going to do Fangh Earth in RPL, I was just experimenting with RPL...
However, I might be using a lib that I'm writing for the Cemetech Contest #6...

Progress:
I tried to use Celtic III instead of xLIB but it wasn't stable enough for this kind of game.
Also, due to the fact that 4 level grayscale on a normal 83+ is much too slow (and this is the only calc I have), I've switched to 3 level gs.

i would wait before using Celtic III. As much as it is backwards compatible it still has some bugs and developpement will not be resumed in months, due to CaDan being in developpement right now

BBC is actually going to be a three page app I think, I guess it is slower than FRPL though..

I think it's to be expected with languages as simple as ti-basic or close to it though. Even if someone decided to write a language with the exact same syntax than BASIC it would still be slow, especially if it still used floating points numbers

Yeah, in most programming languages floating-point is taken for granted, but the actual implementation and operations are insanely intricate and involved.  I made the mistake of trying to code FP multiplication/division (with Asm) so now every time I hear someone say "floating-point" I gag :o  The one good thing I got out of it was the look on my programming (introductory Java) professor's face when I explained why I kept twitching during his lecture.

I'm going to Moscow for 10 days on the 24th of february, so I won't be present on the forums...
Hopefully, this will let me progress on Fangh RPG (I wasn't able to work on it because of school)!

I made a black&white version of this, which I'll upload later.

You might have noticed that I was absent from the forums this week. This is due to the fact that my computer crashed while I was trying to recover the default settings, meaning that I had no OS. And my DVD reader decided to scratch all the discs that I tried to insert, meaning that I couldn't put any OSs back. So I had to send my PC for repare. However, now it works perfectly!

Oh, and I also have an idea of making a "Dungeon Tycoon" game, compatible with my Fangh RPG...

ouch this sucks, I hope you didn't lost any precious data x.x.
