i tried zstart and it erased eveything off of my calc so i guess it's a good thing that i have two

O.o What model do you have and what OS did you have? That is odd behavior for zStart o.O

EDIT: Also, was there a GarbageCollect at some point, too, after it was installed? And did yuo have other apps that you ran? Something could have conflicted .__.

^This. Also, were your stuff archived ?

For that I generally just refresh the screen every frame, erasing sprites in the process (no need to erase them in that case). However I don't remember if DispGraph actually overwrites the entire LCD (which would be required for that technique)

Yes, DispGraph owerwrites the whole LCD. The problem is that I use greyscale and I can't erase a sprite (with restoring the grey checkerboard) that easily

This looks really great hayleia! I've played something similar to this on pc, but I'm not sure if it was the exact same.

Thanks

Twice (or as often you use it). To prevent that, you can do

Code: [Select]

"text"->str1
...
text(0,0,str1)
...
text(0,6,str1)


I know how to prevent it, I am just lazy and wanted to know if I had to prevent it or no

Ok, new question

When I do
__________________________________

Text(0,0,"text")
...
some more code here
...
Text(0,6,"text")
.the same "text" word as before

Is "text" stored once in memory or twice ?

So I found an easy method to get beautiful greyscale and I just implemented it in the game.

Good news: The grey is almost perfect on my 84+SE
Bad news: my 83+ crash while my 84+SE doesn't

I tried everything: run it with MirageOS (with zStart disabled), run it with zStart (shell MOS), run it with zStart (shell zStart), RAM Clear, ROM Clear, it still crash.
Even more strange, it is just the screen that stops refreshing because quitting still works () and it displays the score (so it refreshed the screen )
I'll try to fix it but if I don't manage to, I'll have to get back to the old greyscale method since the judges have 83+

C'est le "sauf d'occasion" qui change tout:
En général, les gens achètent soit une 82 Stats parce que c'est le moins cher et que c'est suffisant, soit une 83+ pour le rapport qualité/prix, soit d'occasion, même si l'occasion n'est pas du tout ce qui est demandé (j'en connaissais une avec une TI 86, je sais pas d'où elle la sortait). Donc il y aura peut-être encore plein de vieilles 89 en circulation dans 5 ans.

I had to +1 this.

Another suggestion: implement a lowercase-enabling hook so that you don't have to enable it every RAM clear. (or is this already implemented?)

You can set a prog that enables lowercase to run on RAM Clears.
Or run Axe or MirageOS, etc.
