i've never played the game micromachines before, what system is it for? 
what's it like?

i've thought about making a game like jeopardy for the ti-85, but all of
the information you need to store would take up a hell of a lot of space.
 in one game of jeopardy there are i believe 5 or 6 topics per round, 2
rounds, each topic has 5 different questions and answers, plus the final
jeopardy, for a grand total of atleast 51 different questions and with
those 51 questions are 51 answers, plus you don't want to always see the
same stuff over and over so you'll want to add some extra categories for
variety.  the space it would take up to store all of this information
would be tremendous.  i quickly gave up that idea.  personally i think a
pool game or a game like marble madness would be pretty cool if it was
quality programming.  all of the brain games for zshell are getting kind
of old also, i wouldn't mind seeing a few more of those.  and not just
take offs of existing ones, completely new types of puzzle games. 
different types of solitaire would be nice as well as games like pinball,
eye of the beholder, or a game like Shadowgate or Uninvited

Also, I have not yet received any messages about that new sprite drawing
routine.  I'd atleast like to know where I can get it.
