You can do a similar thing in asm right? BTW cool pictures. You should do something with them...
I'm waiting for someone to do a calc Farmville. Maybe one day I'll do it!

I dabbled with making a programming language in ASM a while ago. "Pause " was one of the four commands I finished before I set it aside :D Anyway, I also used an input to pause based on a time period and Pause 0 did the same thing. The reason is very simple. The Pause command decrements the value by 1 before checking if it is 0. Luckily assembly is not like BASIC which would approach negative infinity. In Assembly, when you subtract 1 from 0, you get FFFFh or 65535. So Pause 0 is actually Pause 65536.

Yeah I know. Basically in Axe, Pause 1 is 0 and so on. Not a big matter unless you use Pause 0. I think Quigibo should warn about this in the command index if he didn't already, though, so people won't just pull a battery.

To be technically correct, as I have explained elsewhere, a Pause 1 is a pause of 1, a Pause 2 a pause of 2, and so on. Same for any other number except 0.
A Pause 0 is actually a pause of 65536 because of how it works internally. Yes, you can't represent 65536 in 16 bits, but it is a pause of 65536 nevertheless. ;D
A warning is probably a good thing though, and I second adding it. Waiting ~1 min is... long :P

Oh, right. It can be kinda confusing X.x

The thing is that generally, when the calc is frozen during more than 15 seconds, it implies a crash, which means: remove a battery. :P

When my calculator goes over 20seconds I always reset it, that's why I prefer TI NSpire 84+ Keypad to the 84+ itself, reseting means turning off :)

Sometimes, in case it might just be one of these slow loading times, I just let it sit there for a minute then do other stuff, then I return and if the calc is still frozen, then I remove the battery. I found myself too often pulling a battery the second it finished loading. D:

Nice to see you contributing, ScoutDavid! I might use some of these. Do you prefer to go by ScoutDavid in credits or your real name?
See you, space cowboy...
