A89: A Really Interesting Idea...




While people seem to hate programming ideas on the list, I think that this 
idea is worth bringing up, since it brings up some contraversy as well. While 
talking to Miles how cool it would be to permanantly install Tetris into the 
ROM, I was hit with an idea: why not make an application (read: not an ASM 
program, an APPLICATION) that could store 16/32/64K worth of stuff? In other 
words, since Doors OS is known to crash the calc for silly reasons like 
recalling pi or trying to open a 100x100 randmat( matrix (evil grin) it would 
be nice to have a 'clean copy' of Doors OS, Doors Explorer, some favorite 
games (read: Tetris and Phoenix) and of course, the libraries sored 
permanantly and safely in the archive in an area that is not deleted when 
memory is cleared.

Of course the biggest obstacle is this: TI has not given us any clue how to 
go around making applications. Because of this, would that make this project 
impossible?
