Ok thanks. I will try in VirtualDub to see how it looks like at the real speed. Do you think the speed drop for drawing commands would be too brutal for decent looking game menus and stuff, such as in this screenshot, for example?
![]()
(That's pure 84+ BASIC, by the way)
Kerm could you try to run the following stuff?
1) Fill the entire 265x165 screen with Horizontal on both a TI-83+ and the color screen calculator. I wonder how long approximately does it take to fill
2) Does RecallPic and StorePic work inside programs with archived pics?
3) Dual-layer ASCII. Here is a TI-83+ piece of code of what I mean:
Code:
Of course you have to change the A values since text is larger, but I wonder how does that BASIC trick (as used in my screenshot above) behave on the 84+ C Silver Edition? And does it behave differently depending of what color you are using (knowing that white text has a gray background, for example)?
Thanks in advance.![Smile]()
