Even the art impresses me. Looks like you have been dethrowned as king of BASIC Kerm. :)

It is amazing what Kevin has done with Basic. By mixing the best of both worlds, he has created something original, fun, and visually pleasing.

I gotta say, even though I don't have a TI 83 unfortuantly, but a TI 89, the screenshot shows a lot to me. Good work Kevin!

Now the next question is how much more can be done in Basic. C or ASM can always speed it up, but its more enjoyable to make things in Basic, do to the ease. Thus this makes me a fan of both worlds, ASM and Basic. With Kevin's outstanding work, we can probably see more outstanding games from other people as they learn how to do something similar. Oh, and it WOULD be cool if a team out there would write a BASIC -> ASM compiler. TIGCC has made their compiler on the PC so it recognizes TIOS commands. All we really need now, since we can build things on the calculator editor, is a COMPILER program to make it ASM. Then we got it perfect.

I agree 100 percent with your compiler idea. I would love it if my BASIC games were transformed into more playable high level graphics and high speed game play. It would also give you an easy way to program great games anywhere.

oh and I forgot, since BASIC has to be converted into ASM as a program runs, a one-time switch would be very difficult to program kudos to anyone or team that does this at a user friendly level and at a useable speed (10 mins or less)
