I wonder how Sir's gonna do it. RAM pages don't work in saving, remember.
What do you mean by not working in saving? Do you mean extra RAM pages are not writable the way we do with regular ones?

They are writable, but not guaranteed to remain intact.  I guess I could have a checksum type of thing where it would only let you load it if the checksum worked out.

Oh ok, but won't they remain intact for the entire execution of the program, or does the TI-OS do stuff to them while the program is running?

I just wouldn't hassle with it in that case. I mean because then you save a big game thinking it will be back there, then boom. Checksum doesn't work and you have to start all over again.

Yeah, i agree on this one.  Either have a 100% reliable saving mechanism, or just go with the idea of not being able to save

But you should be able to save upgrades and stuff, IMO. That way, you're not really starting over completely every time you quit.

Yeah I hope this is successful. I wonder if there are any similar games for calc right now? It might be a first.

i think its definetly a first...
never saw anything of this scale on a calculator ever before...
except perhaps some rpgs and stuff... but those dont have to keep track of this much data at a time...

Yeah I meant games where you dig in the ground and stuff, or even stuff like Lierox. There was Tinyworms but that did not really involves digging and stuff.

oh... i see...
i thought you meant the difficulty and memory/size of it...
yeah... dont think there are anything else that involves digging any where in entire archieve...

p.s. is tinyworms some sort of clone of Worms warfare or something?

and it seems to be unfinished...

*a note to self :P

GOOD LUCK! :)
