This is where the equation variables come into play
Code: "sub(Str1,ans(1)*16+ans(2)+1,1->v
Then to access the element that would be at the top left of the screen
Code: {0,0
v
I <3 equation variables 
Well I have yet to see a way to make a Text-Sprite map with Lists or Strings.
But if you need help let me know, in fact I prefer matrices for maps as they are easier to edit.

What exactly do you mean? o.o

Hey, that's a pretty awesome trick! I don't think I've ever seen that one used before...
you know, i normally use 1 var for an x,y
:5.5->A
:Output(10fPart(A),int(A),"X

See how I found that bug in DCS now 
WAIT! your saying that almost noone knew Ans could be used as a list?! i use it in my compiler and all 5000 of my deleted unfinished TI-Basic games!

I think that was in response to the equation variable usage btw
well it ain much different than doing this:
:"ø+6->r1
:r1(5
which returns 11

Sure, but what about when you have 128*4*4 characters in Str0 because you're storing 16 screens full of data, and you want to do hit detection? Suddenly not as easy, unless you pluck out the 128-char substring each time.
M=map#
string0=map
sub(string0,128M+16Y+X,1
simple.
Problem with working with strings of huge map sizes is the further into the string you go (closer to the end) The slower it responds. just so you know.
Code: "sub(str1,16ans(1)+128ans(3)+ans(2)+1,1->v
{0,0,0
v
If 0:Access the first element of the first map
{0,0,4
If 0:Access the first element of the 5th map

Yeah, I ran into that problem when making the omnimaga rickrolling program. The first part displayed just fine, but the second part was really slow, then it'd be fast, slow again, etc
i usally use sub-maps anyway
Or you could just store the strings in 1 screen size map parts and use it that way.
You don't have to hear it from us! Save yourself the wait; all of the little tricks and surprises that you could ever hope to uncover can be found by picking up (and losing yourself in) a (physical) copy of the TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator Guidebook. If it's not an inch thick, then it's not the right one. (And if something can't be found in there, then it's probably on the
wiki.)
