| Because TI's engineer is the only engineer left who knows how to make calculators that crappy. |

I was referencing XKCD...
In any case, just compress the images then uncompress them on the go. Or don't use the images that you want to. |

PNG images can be lossless. I would honestly just go and make a simple compression format for images: just use ones and zeros to represent pixels, then have a program render it into the four-bit format.
Vectors are way harder to use, and possibly even bigger than a normal image, depending on the quality you want. Easy to zoom into though.

Oh, I thought you could set individual bits.
I sometimes sprite by modifying the individual bits for the 1rst layer for the SNES. |

Ok, I will explain what I mean.
So, rather than have a bitmap (lets say this is 5x5, because I am not going to design a header specification for you):
(10001000)(10001000)(10001000)(10001000)(10001000)(10001000)(10001000)(10001000)(10001000)(10001000)(10001000)(10001000)(10000000)
This might make the area black, but I don't know :P.
So, if you were to compress it into a 1 bpp format, you would end up with:
(11111111)(11111111)(11111111)(10000000)
Then you would have code that would take this 1bpp format and change it into 1npp format (or, 4bpp). |

So you're telling me you bought a $100 calculator to write programs on it?

| @Tree, no, he is telling everyone who bothers to read the post. Also, it is still a calculator, most schools will accept a calculator, not a phone. |

| I have a TI-Nspire calculator (normal, not color or CAS), they're pretty cool as you can code lua programs on them that are supported by Texas Instruments, however the most cool thing about them is the fact that through hacking you can actually run C++ programs on them (which would include, but not limited to: emulators, videos that aren't in perfect quality, picture galleries, etc). Note that this seems to have been patched on newer calculators, but still pretty cool for a calculator. |

| I doubt it was patched, I just think that noone wrote a compiler for the calculator >_> |

| I wonder if there is a way to load more RAM onto those calculators manually, and if the calculators could effectively utilize that extra RAM. And I am able to load variables in and out of the RAM with "Archive var" and "Unarchive var". Dunno if that is possible with the TI-84+CSE though. |

Oysi must be rich.
He doesn't consider any other situations then his own. |

> I recently bought me a TI-84+CSE graphing calculator for the intentions of writing programs for it.
Well there's your problem. It is much easier to use a computer to write programs. |
