How large is your program?  Any Homescreen program that is over 8100 bytes will give an error, it sounds to me like you are very close to this value?

As for text, try putting a Fix 5 at the very start of your program
Builderboy, I think you were ninja'd by 9 hours XD

How could that happen? XD

I have yet another question. To use Axioms we need to know Assembly, right?

Nah, Axioms are just like the functions built into Axe. To make Axioms you need ASM, though.

EDIT: It's like a define in Python ;)

If only I knew what a define is... Is it like #define in Assembly?

Er, just def (for a function). Sorry, I keep getting these languages mixed up :P

Serves me right for learning three languages in two days.

OOOOH Like a function written in Assembly code.

So it's like a subroutine but that can be written in Assembly, pure epic!

Yeah, that's basically it :)

Axe extensions = Axioms.

What do EndIf and End!If do?
And, while I'm at it, What do ElseIf and Else!If do?

Code: [Select]
If A
stuff
Else
!If B
stuff
End
End
is the same as
Code: [Select]
If A
stuff
Else!If B
stuff
End

EndIf does what it sounds like...it Ends the loop If condition is true. Like ReturnIf, but for loops instead of subroutines.

The point is kinda like for Repeat loops in BASIC -- you go through the loop at least once, then check at the bottom. (If you haven't noticed, Repeat in Axe is pretty much the same as While ).

The easiest way would be to treat as a bullet, stored separately in an array. I'm writing a tutorial on that stuff right now ;D
