Program: Big Numbers

Version: 1.1

Author: Raptorsoft

Description: A nifty program which lets you display numbers the size of the home
screen ones, in the graph screen. It is now much more powerful, allowing you to enter
decimal points and uses real vars instead of strings (which is much better for games)

Machine: TI-83

Language: Basic

Size: BN 1586 bytes
BN2 1353 bytes

Released: 21 mar 2001

Installation:
You have two choices, you can use bn.83p, which is larger than BN2 but 
quicker (to draw the numbers) or bn2.83p, which is smaller but a bit slower.
Just send em to your calc. bnsamp.83p is a sample program to show usage of bn.83p  

Usage:
You need to store the x var (the point along the x axis you want to start the numbers at) you want to real var "V" and the y variable (the point along the y axis you want to start the numbers at) to real variable "W". V and W refer to the top left pixel of a 5*7 square which holds 
the number. eg:

+-+-+-+-+-+
|x| |1| | |
+-+-+-+-+-+
| |1|1| | |
+-+-+-+-+-+
| | |1| | |   x= point V and W refer to
+-+-+-+-+-+
| | |1| | |   1= pixels of the no. ( in this case the no. 1) 
+-+-+-+-+-+
| | |1| | |
+-+-+-+-+-+
| | |1| | |
+-+-+-+-+-+
| |1|1|1| |
+-+-+-+-+-+


Please note this is based on the pixel system, eg x is from 0-62 and y is from 0-94.
then store your number(s) to "N", eg

:22.83->N

then run BN or BN2.
easy.
If you still dont get it, check out bnsamp.83p
other variables used by the prog:
a,str6,matr[g] (only in BN2)
You can change these if they conflict with a game you are making, just unprotect it 
(using Jimmy Connor's nifty "Protect" program) and you can figure out the rest. 



Disclaimer:
While I don't see how a basic program can stuff up your calc, its not my fault if it does.
