Well, asm programs can access them, but outside of a program, the calculator will crash if they are used.  You have to be careful, but there is more RAM for programs to use.
How would you actually use those pages through Axe/Axe inline ASM?

Also please only use the one on newer 84+ models, so people with newer calcs can play your game.

And don't use undocumented functions plz :P

I think this will be awesome. One suggestion though. The original actually does this too, btw, unless you download. Don't save the map at all. Just regenerate it every time you play. The only version that saved your digging between plays was Goldium edition. That probably would make the whole map issue much easier, right?

Thats one option, but i guess its up to SirCmpwn if he wants the user to re-dig every time you load up the game again

Yeah, I think I may leave out saving for now.  It would be very hard.

You could make it an app with 8 KB for saving/using.

Oh, whoops :P

EDIT: And I have a quick related question: Is everything in archive read-only?

Weeeelll... no.  You can reset bits in it if you unlock flash, and you can set an entire page to FFh, but it's best to assume that it's read only.

Well couldnt you just RLE the map and store in an Appvar?  Im sure you could bring it down to about 4000 bytes probably, which isnt really that bad at all.

I bet this would be much easier on the nspire :P you have 32 Mb to mess around in.

I loved this game though. I can't wait to play it!

Oh, btw in the original it took longer to dig in deeper dirt than in shallower dirt. not sure if you'll want that or not, but it made the drills really properly ramped, since each level would have its optimum drill.

Yeah, I noticed that, and will probably implement it.  Whenever there was an earthquake, I remember blazing through the top levels.
