TI Calculator

Do you have a grafics calculator made by Texas Instruments?
Which version?
Since when?
Do you still use it? When?
What do you think about it?
Did you create one or more programs?
Which programs do you suggest us? (games, stuff...)
And what about the idea to make elma for TI?

Casio sry :x
yes still use, had since 2002
like it
a friend made some random progs on it, no games yet

I had a TI-82 from 1996 or something for school. Good luck getting Elma on that

I've got a TI-84+ and made a few programs but one Friday I made a program which just counts indefinitely and forgot to turn it off. The next Monday I couldn't boot it.

That's what my friend would call an epic fail.

dont have a calculator - havn't had one for the last 5-6 years or so, since I find pen and paper more giving than just doing calculator nabing.

However, when there is some test, I can usually borrow a TI-82 from school, cause for some calculations you really need one because of the time-limit.

And about your questions. Ez nat be able to make my own programs during tests cause of the short time i have it. Well, ye maybe, since I tend to finish 50% faster than everyone else. - But I would still have to give it back to the school, hence it would be bango waste of time.

And no, elma would not work on teh.

have the TI-83+ for my calculus class, sometimes get quite bored and play games like snood, or pacman. but elma? not a chance in a million years.

Yes I had a TI-83 for the maths on high school, the reason why I got slightly higher grades for all those subjects, cause you could save any formula you wanted in it. I didn't understand crap of maths, but I managed to get a 2.5/10 on the exams with just trying to apply any formula I could find.

Those last 3 years in maths classes were spent ultimately on playing tetris and listening to music, eventhough I could act quite well that I was doing homework. Afterwards, one could say I was foolish for choosing the most complex course of maths, but in the 3rd grade I was sure I could do teh ezily.

I've got a TI-86 since 2005 which I use almost every day at school. I bought it cause my brother had one too, and he said it was good. Yea I've created quite a few progs for it and published four programs, 3 of which in Z80 assembly language (sudoku, noughts and crosses and asm to hex-converter :P) I'm not sure how useful the last one is but I made it anyway. Other programs I've made but not published yet are: Clone of Drod (see www.drod.net), sudoku solver and cabamap (performs integer calculations with arbitrary precision, got the idea from a TI-83+ program). Drod has been my biggest project by far and it still has two bugs that I haven't bothered to fix yet :)

I'm not sure what I will do next, some game or some useful math program. I think I'd have the skills to create some sort of symbolic math program that would simplify expressions and solve equations, first degree or quadratic. :)

Elma would be max, but it's very hard to do the physics engine and everything, and would it be fast enough? TI-86 is slower than TI-83+...

quite impressive smibu

Do you have a grafics calculator made by Texas Instruments? yes, 2.
Which version? TI-30X IIS
Since when? 1st one since about 1997, 2nd one I dont know, just appeard inside my desk one day.
Do you still use it? When? like one time in two years, last time for some economy test few months ago.
What do you think about it? good. and you can do trains in top row if bored.
Did you create one or more programs? wtf I am wrong replying to this... but I made very good trains.
Which programs do you suggest us? (games, stuff...) Train Game.
And what about the idea to make elma for TI? 1D elma would suck.

Both my brothers have the lastest version.

Zweq · Post by **Zweq** » 10 May 2008, 07:40

on ti-89 I have made 1563 games and 351 software.

but that's nothing

I have worked for texas instruments and I have basically created all the models. I used to do all the design, all the coding, as well as chip assembling.

it was pretty cool

zomg, sick! and elma is possible on TI?

Do you have a grafics calculator made by Texas Instruments?
Yes!
Which version?
TI-84
Since when?
since like 2 years and 9 months ago.
Do you still use it? When?
Whenever i wanna play with numbers 8)
What do you think about it?
Really good!
Did you create one or more programs?
yes, created a couple of hundred small programs most of them calculating some number series. Also made a couple of games like snake and 3-in-a-row
Which programs do you suggest us? (games, stuff...)
PuzzPack! program with 4 small games which were very popular in my math class 8) Anyone ever tried puzzle frenzy? Anyone else scored over 4k?
And what about the idea to make elma for TI
I'de like to see that ;D
if you skip stuff like elastic bike maybe even possible ;P
