A85: music relived! =)
Two things:
(a.) You came back from the grave???!!
(b.) You are missing one MAIN feature of USGARD that has never been
stressed enough, SPEED!!! I know my programs have already been sped-up at
least 4 times, probably more. Add that to a smaller shell, smaller
programs, I think the decision is obvious. All I can say is that some of
the bigger programmers seem to be using Usgard (Jimmy, Mel, Andreas). I
have no idea where I fit into the list of z80 programmers for the ti-85
but I have some sort of significant role =) BTW: due to huge school work,
college forms, and a lack of energy, I wouldn't expect my next game until
about November, sorry.
