Love it. The TI Calculator scene reminds me of the 4k demoscene, or more specifically any group who push the limits of what is perceived to be possible within a hard limit of resource, compute cycles, and time. I find it some of the most inspiring work out there.
The TI Calculator scene is one of these cool scenes that's both vibrant and well organized.<p>Some fantastic low-end hacking going on there, from software to hardware.<p>More here.

The speed of that dynamic scaling sprite routine is ridiculous. I'm very impressed. I've written 4x4, 8x8, 12x12 and 16x16 sprite routines on the 83, but had never considered dynamic scaling. My hat's off to Hayleia and Badja.
