so if we have [0000000000000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF], [0000000000000000] will be the first sprite and [FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF] will be the 2nd sprite.
Sig wipe!

Pointers are the only way to use sprites, as the sprite display routine takes a pointer as an argument

Is there an option to turn the calc off while in a axe program?
for example, If I were to make a password program...

Like when you start the calculator, it shows up?

You would have to use some inline asm, as there is no default way to do it in Axe alone

Also, those are two different things. One is just the ability to turn the calc off, the other is the ability to create and be invoked from OFFSCRPT.

Well, Ti has a program that will start up prgms or apps of your choice when the calculator starts. You could use that.

zStart has the ability to set a start-up program, too, and is just generally better than Startup. (I believe this is the name of TI's app)
parser: That's okay, you can take this solution.
Edit: The user will just have to turn it off him/herself.

Well, technically, you could cause a RAM clear.  That would certainly turn the calculator off.

Hell, if you detected an incorrect password, you could run through the VAT, archive everything, unarchive anything that needs to be secret, then RAM clear.
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

I assume you want something like this: http://ourl.ca/10110/250926 (Read all of the stuff in quotes.)
If so, this is the post that contains the rest of the explanation and the code: http://ourl.ca/10110/250926
Good luck!
