Heh...It'd be cool to be able to have your screen burning with grayscale fire while using the calc normally.
Those kind of mods are rather difficult as many OS processes only update the screen and nothing else. That means it would be difficult to keep a memory of what was actually on the screen.
That would be epic. Something like ON+GRAPH to set the current screen on fire? :D

Or when you clear the screen with [CLEAR], instead of vanishing, the screen burns away ;D

The only solution I see would be to read the entire LCD back before every single grayscale interrupt and compare it to a known copy of what the screen looked like. This however would require two full screen updates and therefore 100% of cpu time at 60hz. It should run at 30hz though.

So, if I get bored... (Or if xeda gets bored (make a getCSC hook that enables your interrupt :D))

Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of the fact that the OS tends to write directly to the LCD :\
There's something about Tuesday...


Pushpins 'n' stuff...

Yeong should use this as part of the new ROL3 magic animations (maybe Omnima which has 4 elements?)

Hmm, Grammer can use assembly programs... But I could add it as a fill option as well.

What I was thinking about Omnima is using pyro, quasar, freeze, and blitz animation to elemental attack.
