BASIC entries are allowed to use one of the following BASIC enhancement tools (libraries)
· Omnicalc
· ZSprite
· Codex
· Zapi
It is not allowed to use any other ASM tool/library, nor a self-made ASM tool/library.
I'm not making myself clear, aren't I? Let me rephrase: I can have an entire inline hex program in a BASIC program and it would count as a BASIC program, even though the only code in the BASIC program is the ExecAsm( token and a mass of hex characters, or some BASIC code with an assembly engine?

what of those words are not breaking through?
So that implies that ExecAsm( is off-limits, so to speak? I thought a "self-made tool/library" was something other than those 4 programs, like another assembly program
"If SOURCE is outlawed, only outlaws will have SOURCE."
It would be extremely obvious that something is not right if there is a basic program that executes as fast as an asm program so i dont think that execasm() is a problem.
Besides if you want to cheat, thats no-ones fault but your own. If you are an asm coder, why would you want to win the basic section?

So let me get this straight: you can do things like Codex's functions w/ ExecAsm(, you just can't get creative with it, like compacting the BASIC program/creating an assembly program/making an assembly engine/hacking/etc

Who knows? Some assembly coders might have wanted to take advantage of that and make it an assembly vs. assembly duel for the Maxcoderz t-shirt
Yes, now it makes sense
"If SOURCE is outlawed, only outlaws will have SOURCE."
xLIB is just s small project that i started for no real reason. Hardly anyone uses it and its not even really finished ... plus the only good thing it does is fast tilemaps for basic programs.

I don't see how it would be useful for making an animation...
If we use Zapi, are we allowed to use Zapi's sprite packaging feature? Ten pics is kind of limiting for making animations.
