I found another bug, this time dealing with sending programs to a .g2m memory file.
In order to make more space in main memory for the RPG that I was working on, I took most of my other programs and backed them up in storage memory. However, I accidentally set output to g2m. When I restored those programs to main memory I tried to run one of them only to have it draw badly. Checking the code, I realized that the paramaters for the Text commands had been multiplied by 3 so as to look like this:
Text (169)x3,(180)x3,Str 4This was the only program in the memory file that used the Text command. Its as if the OS did not convert the program when it was stored but assumed that it was when it extracted the program and multiplied the paramaters by three to make it draw properly. Its really a minor annoyance but still a problem nevertheless.

Minimalist storyline has been completed!
After a lot of time and two sets of batteries, the essential storyline of the RPG has been completed. There will be no animated screenshots from me though...
As you will be able to see, the size of the game is staggering. At approximately 42kb in size, it fills up 2/3 of main memory. This is why I have finished only the essential storyline.
Because of size constraints I am halting the development of this game. I really can't do much more than what I have now without using up all of main memory.
I would love to have discussions about the future of this game as I would love to use it to test out any basic language modifying programs in the future. I happened to create this topic right before the Axe contest started and as a result, it got pushed off of the front page and nobody noticed it. That can't be helped and I have no hard feelings about that. If anybody has any questions or comments please post.

1) I've had no problems with graphing things.
2) You can't use the % symbol in calculations. You can display the % symbol in programs though.

I sent everything in a backup once (in other words, a whole main/storage memory's worth of files). I had no problems.
Usually when I try to terminate the connection with the eject option I always get an error message saying that "an error occured when attempting to eject". Despite that error ejecting always works.

I've been working on making a program to demonstrate the abilities of graphs and how they can be used used in programs, but I still can't get the syntax right for changing the color of graphs. Otherwise I have every other function that I wanted to demonstrate in place. One way to draw graphs smoothly in a game is to use the command SimulOn which causes every graph to be drawn at the same time instead of separately.
Would this help? http://ourl.ca/9185/174354

Man, it is quite painful to read all of this. I don't know what to say... Programming is what truly makes graphing calculators worthwhile.

Its in the projects/ideas section as "switchRPG" on page 2. I don't really want to make a useless post to bump it at the moment.

Glad to see some interest, that will really help me get more work done on it.

Just tested this out for real.  (I tried to shrink the size of the file as much as possible, combining all the pics and reducing the palette as much as possible, and accidentally set transparency) This find will make screenshots of all kinds incredibly easier.

That doesn't look like dyna graph. This looks like its the regular graph mode with several inequality equations. The shading for these graphs overlap causing a dithering pattern that results in those extra colors.

This is incredible. Now I feel as though I wasted several hours when I copied some Basic code over manually to make an animated screenshot. I never thought to look at the memory manager.
Thanks for finding this.
Edit: If I remember correctly, the VRAM demo always seems to reset the screen to 3-bit mode. That would mess up the transparency example.

1) Yes 2) Yes. Commands will get "fixed" for whatever calculator is recieving them. See p. 444-446 in this PDF for complete information. Sending information from older calcs to the Prizm is painless though I suspect that someone would need to have a Prizm and an older calc to make some Prizm Basic programs backwards compatible. 3) I don't know.
