And do you know a bit about programming on it? ;) :)

Why Dragan? Do you want to play calculator games during class? :D

gaming on classes r0x :D i now a litle in programing in the TI not a genius but know few of it :p why ?

Well i was just wondering if you have any useful/fun little programs in it, so you can show it to me how to program it in on my TI-83? ;)

you can download games direcly from the computer with your link cable

I have a TI-80. A friend of mine has some cool games (altough I'm not sure if he has a TI-85), including Lotus Turbo Challenge . Here's a handy link

heh... Doom :)

Now if get bad grades in math (like someone named Luis Silva ;), don't blame me :) )

Thanks guys....... ;)

I have got a 82, 83, and 86.


My favorite games are frogger, pac man and mario.

Errm, guys.....i downloaded some zip files containing games like Pong for my TI-83..........how do I put 'em on my calcie?

I've played all those on my 86 also. Pac Man is the same level over and over again, mario is only the first 2 or three levels. Frogger is good though.

yeah, that's the same with all those small extra cables you might have to buy for one thing or the other, it cost so fu**ing much... LOL :mad: :p :D

Try to loan it from school. Or take the programs in a floppy disk (they are barelly 100K) are input them there.

Ahhh... the times where I spent math classes coding FF80 and Penalty Taker :p

Just for them not to work. The only game I have now is fdown86 and I only have that because I have an unbeatable score on it.

By the way Dragan, you can probably get the games from someone in your class. In my school at least, games are a must have for anyone with a graphing calculator.

Also, your grade will die, and not just math, but all classes. I think that grade point is direcly related to class periods playing calculator games each day. It looks like -2^x for you math studs out there. Where f(x) is Grade Point, and x is class periods playing games.

The games hold absolutely NO entertainment value outside of school either. Anyone who plays calculator games outside of school either is 1) Pathetic or 2) Their TI-86 is the best computer they own.

In my opinion they aren't worth the slip in test grades, that's why I had to delete all of mine.

Well all people in my school have a calculator with games on them, and they have the same cable as i, which doesn't fit the computer (it's to small)......and Nimreitz, i like to play Snake (which for some reason is called Nibbles, but i like to call it Nipples :D) so don't call me pathetic :mad: :p :D ;)

i spent so many our playing that damn games :D i once had a game called pinguin or something liek it and it was really cool with amazig graphics ( for the calculator) i spent a year playing in in classes :p

lol
some found memories there indeed !!!
the upside down thing was a laugh back in primary school
and we used to do 101-1 then -1, -1,-1 ... and do races ... first one to zero and have tournaments and all.
:D :D :p

Nibbles is a good game too. Dragan, a link cable that goes between two calculators comes standard with all TI Graphing Calculators. You can use that to transfer games directly from the people who have games' calculators, to yours.

Stevie, I also do something similar. On a graphing calculator you can type in as many numbers or functions on the screen as you want, so I'll take an entire class period, or 20 minutes, or whatever, and type....

As much as possible, and then hit [CLEAR] and measure how long it takes the calculator to delete everything you typed in. I think the record is around 30 seconds.

ok, I will try that OR NOT! :D :D :)

A friend of mine filled the whole TI-82 memory with 8's... it took about 4 days :eek:

I remember playing calculator games at school!

However, in my day they were Cambridge Scientific Instruments (later Sinclair) calcies and the only games you could play were:

1] making rude words by viewing the display upside down
2] speed trials. To do this you pressed 1+ followed by = as many times as you could in the allotted time (usually 30 secs). These calcies had clicky keys, rather than the soft touch ones we get today, so the idea was to get a tremor going in your index finger on the click point. i think the best was over 100 in 30 seconds.

The only words I know how to make is "hell"(4311) and "Boobies"(8008135)

LOL! Yep, trying to make words out of upside-down numbers sure brings back memories of elemntary school :)
