    I use to write games and apps on my Ti83 back in high school but that was like 6 years ago. :p

    I had a teacher that aproved of me using math apps I wrote durring test because if I wrote it, I already demonstrated I understand the way of solving thoes problems (helped on test since I had writen one that figures out all the work and display it step by step). My teachers even asked if they could get my apps to use. :p

    You wouldn't happen to still have those programs would you???

    Most teachers I know won't accept that. In big colleges they go around resetting the memory, or checking for suspicious software on these calculators.

    Only game you need on TI is Tetris.

    I used to do this a lot in high school... at one point I was the only kid in school with a Ti-83+ Silver Edition!

    Gosh, it's so embarassing in retrospect.

    (Z80 asm is kinda fun though)

    Sadly i dont. My freaking brother lost my Ti83. Grrrrrr

    I really should buy one again, would make programming at work easier to test out math calculations.

    Wow! i thought i was the only one who had bought a Ti-83+ Silver :lol:

    was not a bad thing, since it got more memory that the regular 83+

    countless hours spent trying to make a playable game in basic in my french courses (and english, maths, physics and all the rest)

    Héhé, i had a TI82 and made a fake reset/format program that reproduced the exact resetting screens of the real TI82 and an empty program list :p Haha, I was very scared in the case I had to use it ^^ Fortunately, never had to do :p

    Ha, lol ^^

    Indeed, my teacher was a royal bitch when dealing with these things...

    She even acussed me of hacking the school's computers, which I did but he had no evidence and therefore was accussing me based only her spite. Ergo if someone else had done it I would've been punished for it anyways...

    BTW subbie I thought you were older, with the whole experience in the industry and stuff...

    Nope just 24. I wasted my high school life learning to program and working in the gba homebrew scene. First published game was when I was 18/19ish (it was the curling event in the salt lake 2002 winter games for gba). After that I moved to montreal when i was 19 and got a full time job with a small studio up here doing gba & ps1 games. I now work at ubisoft on a psp game. :p

    Yeah you did not ask for my life story but might as well make it clear.

    Hey no prob, if you want a boring life story I tell you mine: half of the people I knew is dead and I'm still in college in a career I dont like at all. For what? who knows...

    All I can say is: good for you, I wish I had a fulltime job when I was 19 since last year was a complete piece of shit for me and I dont think any crunch time session could've been worst that what that was...

    And at least you "wasted" highschool with something useful. I got into politics, now that was a big fucking waste of time...

    I remember writing lots of crap in basic on my Ti83 :D
    I even wrote a graphical snake clone for it in basic had to use the move pixel functions as it was to slow to clear the screen each frame iirc ^^

    dude, i watched you masturbate from your windows when it was the gp3r time.

    :lol:

    as for the ti, i also had a program with a fake erase screen thing, i used it many times, and showed it to my prof at the end of the year. He said ''uhm, going to note that somewhere'' .

    :lol:

    All I did on my Ti-83 was program it to say "KISS MY BUTT" whenever an equation was undefined or something. :lol:

    I used to make simple programs to help me cheat during Algebra tests. Probably the one thing I'm most proud of is making a program where you could move a character around on-screen. One of my friends showed me how to get something like it running, but I cleaned up the code somewhat and managed to get a small game running off of it.

    Now if only I could understand a real programming language, I'd be set. :)

    Yeah, great times :)

    During my high school i made a cool snake game with a level editor, running at 5fps in the draw area with a virtual infinite snake size :) using the PtOff instruction, with no need to do a ClrDraw :)

    a "draw area" "lander" game, 7fps :)

    a "3d maze at 2.5fps :)
    a "Stack Attack" using the "home area", with a 9x17 matrix lol, about 4-5fps :)

    a simple "home area" PONG 11 fps- smooth game babe
    a interactive scenario PONG-fps

    and a scroling shooter -4-5fps
    yeah, Basic rules :)

    Now, i´m a mechanical Engineer, what a great Job ;)
