As I said in my previous post, we're always here to answer questions, and you can always rewrite the features we've built in if you feel they're too complicated to use. Usgard doesn't require that you use all the "complicated" features, we only recommend them, so you don't end up putting more work into code that we've already done for you! With Usgard you can spend more time actually writing your program, not figuring out how to move sprites around, or keeping TSRs installed, or creating/deleting/resizing variables in the calc's memory, and much more!
Later,
Sam
