Calculators calculators

Recommended Posts

how do you make games for a graphing calculator such as a ti 83? do you write them in c+ or something? or is there a specific program for this? if so, link me to somewhere that i can download it

You just write it in basic. I get bored alot at school and i wrote this stuff:-an rpg-a clock-snake-killing the teacher with a movable gun-nice graphic effects-and a lot of other stuffIts really simple. All you need to do is go to prgm -> new -> type in a new for your program and you can begin. In the calculator manual all the commands are discribed. It's really simple, qbasic is a language disigned for beginners. I also tryed assembler but it took me 20 lines just to start a programm. Just too difficult. Anyway, good luck.

I mostly make programs for school, like calculate the area of various shapes, or plug in values for the distance formula. But I also made a simple number guessing game, where u guess a number, and it tells you bigger or smaller. I did download a bunch of games for mirageOS though :P

I have seen the guessing number code on the internet before and its not really that difficult just a lot of time consuming planning and entering values and stuff. I got bored in math class one week and made a program that acts like a butler (the servants in mansions) and it would like answer questions and that kinda stuff plus i linked all my other programs to it so it was all 1 big program and u just had to go throught hat one program to get to it. Also, my friend made an IQ test that was one of the most stupid but hilarious things i have ever seen. it even had the teacher crackin up. And he learned all his skills from me :P:D

I saw this weird one, the stupidizer. You point the calculator at someone, and press enter, and calculates the stupidness of the person. You can also stupidize somebody by pointing it at them and selecting a different option, and a weird little animation plays on the screen. Fun for the whole familly :P

I remember back when I was in high school, I'd be sitting in math and I'd get bored. I ended up making a fireworks program that displayed random firework animations and then a giant finale ending, it was pretty neat.I also made a math program that calculated all sorts of equations for you. Distance, surface area, trig and inverse trig functions, I even had a built in function that would let you find the derivative of an equation. among other things, i also had a one, two, and three variable equation solver, as well as temperature conversion from kelvin, to fahrenheit, to celsius and every combination in between. Very handy, especially on Calculus tests.I think I may have lost the source code to that program, but if anyone wants me to, I can try to find it.

DMA, to make games for your calculator, or for the TI-83 or for any other Z80-based processors, you will have to program in ASM, or assembly, compile the source code, and send the compiled program to your calculator. ASM, however, could do serious damage to your calculator if you don't know how to program. I don't know how to program in assembly, so I can't give you specifics.

 

To answer the thread's question, yes I have made several BASIC programs for the TI-83 Plus and the TI-89. They are all on ticalc.org's server, though: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/authors/77/7787.html

 

Ticalc is a great community to be a part if you want know learn about calculator programming. Who knows, once you create a good program, your entire school could be using it! (Just like me! :angry: )
