Can you get your own signing key? Or maybe the better question is, for free? Or does it cost?

Just curious. I'll use the standard for now.

Yeah, the standard one is free.
IDK why you'd want "your own." The OS wouldn't accept it anyway... :P

There's also the 8 KB code limit, like in ASM. When using APPs, it's 16. It excludes data. It only includes the code. So if your axe code compiles to 7600 bytes but you got 8 KB of sprites, your game will still run fine. Keep in mind app compiling doesn't work on the regular 83+, though.

Wasn't an exploit discovered for the regular 83+ though?
Apparently it's more complex, but IIRC there is one.

What do you mean by exploit? Do you mean if people discovered how to unlock flash on it? IIRC Quigibo meant APP compiling as a 6 and 15 MHz feature, but he did not test on real hardware, just emulator. He said it worked fine for him on emulator. On my side, though, I could compile to app on emulator and on both real calc and emu, I would get crashes (on the emu, when running the app too)

hm... strange. I don't know. But if we want to talk about app compiling on the 83+, we should move to bug reports.

When you save data to an appvar in Axe, does it remain in the same format you store it in (letters, numbers) or does it go in as hex?

Hex is just a different representation of the characters behind the letters/numbers :)
But you can always read it out the way you put it in, or you don't have to if you don't want to.
For example, I can save a string into an appvar, and can read it out again later. If I store a number to an appvar, I can read it out again later at the same spot.
As above, hex is just a different representation of the same thing. Just depends on how you use it ;D
