if in Basic store the background as a picture and set that picture as the graph background (be careful, if you have to change the picture first set the background to none).
the biggest thing you can do to increase speed is put everything you use in more than one place into a seperate program, anything such as drawing objects to the screen to creating the entire background should be in a seperate program.
I would advise putting the code that moves your character in a diffrent program (if it is more than a few lines).
example:
Getkey -> G
if G=27
then Prog "LEFT"
EndIf
if G=28
then Prog "UP"
EndIf
....
that way if you have complex movement code you can keep it from bogging up your program and you can also use the direction programs to make cinematic sceans.
always rember that the bigger the program the slower it will run.
hope that helps

tis possible if you try REALLY HARD.
Principally if you use elaborated graphics?.
especially considering the 38 program limit

It is impossible, no matter how hard you try, to make fast graphics/games in casio basictis possible if you try REALLY HARD.

no it isn't. have you seen boom?
have you seen aracer 2 and 3?
OK i admit they are all text based.
my rpg is 21 seconds to run accross screen(graphics mode). that's reasonably fast. (it uses all 38 programs, though)

21 sec..
still quite long..
and, it's not like you can have many objects, interacions, decent AI, or game logic..
face it, it's too slow to make a good graphical game
for me at least, I just find that it's too slow to be any fun
buy an afx/fx1, and go ASM!

Yes only text based programs, because realy graphical games are EXTREMILY slow in the CFX
