I think you can only fit 1 page of app using basic builder, which is around 16000 bytes, right?

Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

yeah it's 1 page limitation IIRC in BBuilder, but the major issue is pic storage. If you want them to be useable with xLIB' on the first program startup you need your game to copy all included pics (a  max of 26) to regular calc pics, archiving them in the process, which makes your game take much more archive memory in the end, then comes the inability to copy basic builder programs to archive directly (or reading them directly from basic builder). All this makes Reuben impossible in Basic Builder. Btw the game is in the hundreds of KB with Omnicalc included.

With Bowling, the pics were a major issue too. It was a major PITA for Nitacku to compile his xlib bowling clone in Basic Builder format

Looks nice! Will this be a port of an existing roguelike, or will you be designing your own?
See you, space cowboy...

I definitely didn't. The problem is, lately I find myself doing brainless activities that serve no purpose for 90% of the time (AKA homework). I _hope_ to be able to do more coding after exams. (or maybe even during the finals period. I'm not planning do do any work for things like religion, Dutch, French or English, because either the content is the same as last year (in practice, this is the case for French and English), or is utterly useless. (religion, Dutch,...)

I hate useless homework D:

I usually found myself not doing any when the teacher didn't check it (or if the homework didn't affect my grades directly), because I found no purpose redoing stuff I already understand quite well. The only homework I really did that didn't count in grades was in french class because I had trouble in that class and wanted to practice some stuff more. Besides that usually I finished my homework inside classes since I started before the teacher finishes explaining what work/homework we'll have to do (since I wrote notes in advances). However this is not possible in every class because some are really demanding x.x

Glad to see the project isn't dead. I was just a bit worried since it seemed to show no more sign of life x.x

This.

E.g. math. I haven't learned anything in the last 2 months... Yet I got a 66.7% (originally 6/9) on my math test today, so I ran across it: all my answers were correct. I just lost 33+1/3% because I didn't explain what I was doing, or I made some stupid notational mistakes. I agree if the teacher subtracts points because of the latter, but about all the rest: when I think something is evident/trivial/whatever I don't care about the underlying stuff, since I can prove it easily. Why do such things matter if I have the insight and I can apply it correctly? Honestly, I can't just have guessed all the answers, can I?
The problem with the teaching system (at least in Flanders), is the fact that everyone should get to the same level as the 'average pupil'. This has two consequences:
- slower-than-average people can't keep up and have to redo their term. (I don't know how that works in the US.)
- faster-than-average people get bored, and the only thing they do is sit on a chair, look at the blackboard and numb their brains.

Well, I don't want to brag, but I'm well into that second category. I am hardly challenged at school, so I get bored. The teachers still dare do ask why I don't bother studying=>bad marks for all the 'parrot subjects' (=classes where you, in practice, only write stuff on a test that comes literally from the textbook)... And they wonder why I ask all those annoying questions. (some teachers, i.e. the guys who know their stuff, can answer those. Other teachers can't. They are distributed approx. fifty-fifty)
If our brain is not constantly driven to its extremes, how do we expect to get cleverer? School kinda makes us dumb.

EDIT: No tl;dr's, please. Read everything before responding, I know some things are ambiguous when out of context. (but feel free to ask me to clarify)

It seems similar to what was the school system in Quebec when I still had hi school. We were forced to learn at the same rate as everyone else. No way to go faster and no way to slow down. I think now it's possible, because I heard people doing so, but I'm not sure to which extent.

What sucks about faster learning, though, is that people gets so busy they have to quit every hobby they had in their life, such as calc programming, then eventually lose interest toward these hobbies. Noahbaby94 and Nitacku are big examples of that
