Thread: TI calculator programs

I've recently learned how to program in TI-Basic, and i've made a pretty complex pong program. Has anybody made any cooler programs on a calculator?

Pong? I want it!!
I stick to PC programming, I've never tried programming a calculator to do anything other than simple conversions.

ticalc.org has lots of great games. I make mostly basic math things to cheat (ooops i mean "help") on tests. I've tried making some games with graphics but its so hard to just do it when you get interested and tryu to follow a tutorial. I pretty much just stay with simple things like it randomly picks a number between 1-100 and you guess and it tells you if you need to guess higher or lower and then when you get it right it tells you how many tries it took.

Also does anyone know any good tutorials for TI-BASIC programming on the Voyage 200 (yes I know there is no need for me to own one, but I do). I believe it is the same as the 89. On the ticalc site it has some tutorials but for the 89, 92, and voyage 200 (and their variations) it just says that you program it the same as the others. Unfortunately it says that for all of them so there are no ways to learn it for any.

Also anyone planning to pick up the new Ti-Nspire?

I can program equations and terminology into a program. But of course I would never do that

I've made a few programs on my calculator. One of them is a vertically scrolling dodge-the-rocks style game, and a Snake-like game but random parts of the tail disappear instead of it following at the end.

One of my very tech-wise friends gave me the TI version of Age of Empires on my calculator, but it took up so much RAM I had to get rid of it.
