Re: did you get experience from programming on a calculator?

Wow, a place where all nerd can converge (hey! that almost rhymed)

I only program my calc to do boring repetitive math questions...that's pretty much it. Why program a calculator when you can mess around on a computer? =D

Re: did you get experience from programming on a calculator?

My crowning glory on my TI-83+ is DDR. That's right, DDR for a calc. I had a TA period last year where the teacher had absolutely nothing for me to do, so I spent my time messing around with my calculator. It has a life bar and different difficulty levels and everything. The real challenge was making it real-time without a built-in clock or anything (that feature was introduced on the 84), but I got it working in the end.
