Patent infridgement? ;-)

but, seriously, why would you first render to a 10.000 byte buffer if you
want to display info like equations? 9.8ko are a whole lot if you only have
~20...

There's some boxing program that has a big scrolling background intro.

Take a look at Ti83 Doom, a program currenty under development by a french
Ti83 programmers group. Looks cool, is fast, but is Doom styled "3D". You
just run through a 2D maze with upstanding walls. So it's not real 3D.
