After 42 days away from my calculator, I found that the super-optimized (read totally uncommented) program that six weeks ago was supposed to be my Axe contest entry now makes almost no sense to me whatsoever. And so as I attempt to figure out what I was trying to do, here's a quick project announcement:

First of all, it's called Fourplay. This is only a working name, and it'll definitely change

BASICally, it's Pong. It's also Falldown, Keepin, and Avoid (very original, as you can see already ). It starts with a very basic version of one of those games (just like thousands of other programs out there). Then it cycles through them randomly at random intervals, and if you lose one, you lose (still like hundreds of others).

Then it gets interesting. After a while, you start playing two games at once, then four (on split screens). Meanwhile, the speed gets faster. It gets really interesting when you start having to use both thumbs and forefingers to play

I don't have a link cable, so the only thing I can show you is the back-buffer

I was just about to say that too Sounds like a really cool idea

42 days away?   And that sounds awesome if you can do it!

Yes. I was away from my calc for exactly 42 days.

I survived ... somehow.

If you do that multitasking game or something similar on the 83+ or 84+, that will rule!

ouch , sorry to hear

I hope you can finish it, though. Try to do some backups somewhere else in case

Bug report: You forgot to do Fix 4 before exiting the game. Results: Stat Plot/Y= screen is messed up (small fonts won't show up), same for Mem->About.

THat's the only bug I could find so far, from what I have seen. NO crashes, btw.
