I think I should finally fix the linkplay for Bubble Bobble, and add an ending.
Any help with linkplay? How would I go about performing working link IO?

The rotating mask is optional. To communicate with the LCD driver, you give it orders about what position you want the draw cursor to move to, and what direction to move after a write, and whether it's in 8 bit or 6 bit mode. Then there's the data port where you do writes to the screen. There is a m...

You do know that the board was down for a month, right?

Is it even possible to do Bullet Hell on a slow LCD screen? The slow LCD screen made me cancel my smoothscrolling grayscale DW2 project for the TI83. I'd think you'd need to have bullets draw as short, thick line segments, then count the collision only when the far endpoint touches you instead of th...

I think the star looks faster because the flood fill algorithm fills it with black first, then draws the pattern over anything it had changed to black.
Because it's already black, you can not see the gradual process of it being filled with black.

Heh, I learned how to do flood fills by playing ZZT. ZZT's algorithm is a little different from what I see in the screenshot though.

Wait a minute... You can draw the big font to the graphbuffer easily just by using some other argument to vputs


To draw the large font:

set fracDrawLFont, (iy+fontFlags)
then call vputs.

you know, there's also that old "bub_font" routine I made for bubble bobble 85 that contains a packed font with up to 4x5 character image sizes.

When inside an app, you specify a BCALL like this: mybcall = $ -$4000 .dw address_on_other_page .db page_number_within_app The address thrown into bcall will be between 0000 and 3FFF. Then it looks at the destination address and page number, switches banks, and jumps. I'm calling it a "relative...

If you want to find the font, use a graphics editor like Tile Layer Pro or YY-CHR . Easy enough to find... http://www.dwedit.org/images/yy-chr-ti83font.png (note: YY-CHR is almost always a false positive for antivirus software. Add it to an exclusion list.) But yeah, Bcall has to check the type of c...

One thing I always wanted to see integrated into a TI83 emulator is some kind of keyboard input parser, which would let you type out full keywords into an input buffer, then the program would empty the buffer as keywords were typed in. So for example, you could type out "sin(X)", "ran...

I there's a language called C-- which supports rotations.

No girls on the internets!

A "PLOT 205" command sounds really obscure. Like the kind of thing you'd need a manual right in front of you to program with. Maybe add extra commands, like "ELIPSE"?

Properly chainable hooks! :) A memory allocation that is actually fast Better use of the extra RAM pages on the calcs that have them Real floats (for faster multiply, less space, etc) Incremental Flash GC (hm.. in a shell?) No mess during GetKey MirageOS disables 2nd+OFF during GetKey, and Crunchyo...
