A problem with choices for grey/not grey is the lack of space. Greyscale sprites don't look so good when you just use them as B/W sprites, so odds are you'll need a whole new set of sprites for each option.
If it's an option, it should be a different version to download. That way, the extra data won't be there (one of the bigger issues for BE models anyway)

That's not what you said, though. At last, there's the animation. It has a number of frames, and as many sprites as the number of frames.

This isn't a case of "Not Trying to Optimize". This is a case of "Trying to optimize a certain way, that removes 83+BE support."

I don't see a huge issue with dropping support for 83+BE models. It allows us to increase the speed by 2.5x, and have significantly more space to work with, and it's a fairly small subset of the community.
Matrefeytontias, there is plenty of room for an extra 1800 bytes of graphical routines, especially if it makes it significantly faster.

How frequently would the switch between buffer styles be made? If it's once every few minutes or so, we have room in the archive.

Have you ever put something in wikipedia? It's just like that.

Can we get a specification showing what commands compile into? That would allow for many spinoff projects, like compilers for the PC. (PC compiler for z80 binaries)

You can run make in cygwin, so as long as we use a cross-platform assembler suite (like the DCS ide does) we should be fine. Just package a cygwin version of make.
Also: Make it use an adjustable setting for the emulator, in a separate config file/section. Then, you can just set up whichever emu you want.
You know, it doesn't really have to open the emulator. Just have it generate a valid program/app/OS and then open it yourself. It makes more sense that way, since you can then send it directly to your calc without rebuilding.

I'm confused: How is git not portable? Do you mean in the "port to other architectures" sense (which is not true at all) or the "Not runnable on-calc"? (which is also true of svn) If you're talking in the "I can have this on a flash drive" sense, then git is still portable. https://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list

Aren't example programs included? That's all the tutorial you should need, along with proper AI docs.

3D printed guns are just a fad, part of the whole "We can print anything" mentality. They are far less practical than far cheaper homemade guns using a lathe. 3D printed plastic is fairly expensive.
Sintered printing is actually incredibly weak. It would be worse than the plastic for making a gun. Sintering is not quite as strong as soldering, and neither are anywhere near as strong as a proper forged piece of metal.
tl;dr you can't make GOOD guns with 3D printers, even the fancy metal ones.

Supersonic Ball (by DJ, in Axe) is a better sonic clone than that, physics-wise. It just doesn't have much in the way of content.

That is beautiful. Any chance for an 8-level (or higher) version?

DJ, this is VGA/Composite output. If it doesn't run at 60 FPS, it doesn't have a steady image, since the electron beam keeps tracing, and gets off.

This is the kind of thing that screams for a backend-frontend approach. (TiLP is already in many ways set up like this, thanks to libti*) That way, you could use the same frontend for several different backend programs that could function entirely differently for linking purposes.
Crazy thought: (And I mean REALLY crazy) A libti-based FUSE plugin for linux, so you could simply copy programs and variables over. The plugin would handle allocating the VAT correctly, making sure everything's in place.
