The display is still a little glitchy on my calc.  It is completely usable and isn't really annoying.  I haven't encountered rotating screens or the like again with the newer version of axe

I assume you're talking about the 3 level grayscale right?

Okay, so it looks like the extra delay helped, but it might still need to be just slightly longer by 1 or 2 T-States.  I wish TI could just make their hardware more consistent :(

I know i can't speak for everyone but, I am completely fine with this occasional flutter in the screen.

Yep, this is one of my biggest complaints about TI. Their product's display quality is so inconsistent it isn't funny. That's why it's so hard to get decent looking grayscale. It might look great on one calculator but barely passable on another. D=

Would it be impossible to have it so you can customize the delay length?

The 83+SE, 84+, 84+SE have hardware that can add a delay. This is how ALCDFIX works.

That's true... happybobjr, have you ran ALCDFIX first?  There's also something like that built into DCS now that does the same thing.

It seems that there is a bug in the curly bracket command. I've noticed that when I do this,
Code: [Select]
If {L1+70
.do something
{L1+70}-1->{L1+70}
End
that something is always executed, rather than stopping when {L1+70} reaches zero. But when I do this:
Code: [Select]
If {L1+70
{L1+70}->I
.do something
I-1->{L1+70}
End
the code works correctly, no longer executing when {L1+70} hits zero. Do you know what's going on?

It also seems that in Axe 0.4.7, there is a bug in the compiler. Many times, when I write in a piece of code and compile it, the game crashes inexplicably when it is run, forcing me to do a battery pull and sometimes even hold down Clear while putting the battery back in. For example:
Code: [Select]
LnReg
fnInt(CLK, 2
.RUN GAME CODE
sub(GAM
LnReg
Return
This code works once, but every subsequent time I compile, it crashes. Then, when I remove the first LnReg, it works. I know that this is not an isolated problem, because it also crashed on several other examples, including a sprite definition! And I know I wrote it correctly. Was this bug fixed in 0.4.8? I have yet to try...

Always close your braces. Try If {L1+70} and see if it works. It's not like in BASIC, where leaving the closing brace/bracket/parenthesis saves mem. In Axe, it's exactly the same or worse.

Input issues:

I think that this is something that was intentionally added by TI, but pressing 2nd, quit while using input will kill the program and give a ram crash the next time I try to run an assembly program (or something). 

I suspect that input is a bcall or something which has a 'safety' 2nd-quit key combo built in by TI that returns to the homescreen, but incidentally happens to mess with the Axe program I want to make.

Or am I completely incorrect?

Solutions, please?

Also, what verb/gerund works best with 'RAM crash'?  Is it 'giving a RAM crash', or 'doing a RAM crash'?  'cuz both of those sound awkward.  </random>
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 just saying "clearing RAM" (I use "clear", not "crash", so "crashing RAM" in your case.)
