Well never mind then.  Carry on. You're doing good work.

So, I had this crazy idea to save space in linux on the nspire: replace glibc with uclibc. (I'm assuming that's what's in use right now) glibc is quite slow and large. On my system (64-bit x86) it comes to 2 MB just in the /lib/libc-version.so, which is a significant portion of the available space on gs nspires. (Yes, I know the size will vary a lot between architectures but it's still big.) uclibc size varies widely, based on the configuration you choose. (you can disable float support ENTIRELY if you want) Here's a chart comparing several different libc implementations. I think the difference is fairly obvious. http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.htmlHere's a handy list of differences to note between glibc and uclibc: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/Glibc_vs_uClibc_Differences.txtLet me know what you think!

I remember the cage matches. Those were fun. The short time kept it light, so there wasn't much at stake and you didn't need to plan months in advance.

You should be able to use a PNG as the input for the same effect, and you can set it up for bmp out if that's what you want. It autodetects the desired type based on the filename. (There's an option if you want to specify, but for this it's not necessary)

convert input.bmp -transparent 'ff00ff' out.png
That should take a bitmap and convert it to a png, while considering any of the magenta pixels as transparent. Change the hex to change the background color.
This is the imagemagick convert command. It's an extremely powerful image manipulation tool.

Agreed. Modern ARM is basically built to run Linux and C.

@Juju if you can use GCC you have asm readily available. You can even inline it in C code if you want, or you can do pure asm programs.

NESpire can give you a decent tetris, but there's already ntris.
Not that that's any excuse to avoid the project, mind you!

That's what I was thinking as well. One challenge is that noshell means including any libs that mos or DCS would just call, but using mos or DCS have header implications of their own as well.

I know this is a pretty big necro, but has this been fixed in the ndless installer? It seems like it could be done as part of the ndless_installer program.

So, what I'm getting from this:
There's no built-in native coding tools, but they have done nothing to stop us from making our own OS with such features built in, even so far as replacing it with an entirely new system.
That is just about the best case scenario.

Calcnet already has such a pong game, only it uses multiple screens. Using a single screen is actually easier, since it just mirrors what the other calcs have and only one needs to handle any physics.

I just noticed on the wiki: It says "unknown" for the 84+ Link Port. I'm not saying I disagree with the following "do we need this" but I do want to point out that it just hooks into a few I/O pins on the CPU. It should be relatively easy to add support for it.

Here's my shot at a translation of the post. Hello everyone, I have an Axe programming challenge! You must program a checkerboard (box of 8x8 size) infinity scrolling program using the arrow keys! It will leave the program with a [clear]. The program must be the smallest size possible! Watch out! The asm command is prohibited!
My program, without optimization, is 418 bytes with the header! Send me the programs by PM. You do not have a time limit. Specify in the comments that you are attending and, if you wish, your current score, but do not give your code! I will update this post with scores! Good luck!
I'm not sure of one thing: Are we talking about source bytes or compiled bytes? The two are different.
