An old idea, and not a very good one.
It is mostly a waste of space and time, and not very much to win.
The basic isn't "converted to asm" and then runned on the calc.
instead it interprets it line by line and does a lot of table-lookups and jumps
to romroutines.
There's not really any good way to convert basic to asm without to much effort
for what it is worth.
