Most Ti-Basic Games use text for graphics, whether using Output() or Text(). And there's no problem with that. But the TI-OS text routines are slow, and it's difficult to make your own font. (And a custom font would be cool for making sprites in the form a font)

Correlation is a package that lets you create fonts for your Ti-Basic program, and you can display the font in a Ti-Basic program with Output()/Text() with speeds faster than the Ti-OS routines. This is done via pgrmCORRLATE, which uses hooks to incorporate ASM routines into Output() and Text(). And if you need to switch to the regular TI-OS font, you can turn off the hooks in your Ti-Basic program, switching back and forth.

Not quite, but you can turn the Correlation library on and off inside of your basic program, allowing you to use Xlib anytime you need to.
