Super Mario now available on the TI-84 Plus CE with level editing
For years, the TI-84 Plus series had access to Super Mario 1.2 and 2.0 by Sam Heald, a long-time classic for older calculator models. Unfortunately, TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition users were left in the cold due to the calculator's short lifespan (it was discontinued after only two years), its extremely poor performances and arguably the lack of viable C programming and libraries for it, all of which made developers skeptical about whether that platform could support a side-scrolling platformer. Fo...

HP FOR loops slowing things down?
Ok, so after some tests, it seems like on the HP Prime, if you decide to make a game utilizing tilemaps, then if you want a fast speed but need to update the entire screen every frame for whatever reason (eg a parallax background), you will need to pre-render the entire level map into a massive GROB, then only draw the 320x240 chunk you need on top of the background. That's unless, of course, you don't need to redraw the entire map every frame (in which case it should be much faster).Otherwise, ...

Have you ever met a calculator community member in real life?
See topic title. I was wondering if any of you ever met other community members in real life? I am talking especially about people you originally met online, then later saw them in person (such as during a trip).I know that some Omnimaga and Cemetech staff often meet each others at Maker Faire in September and that past ticalc.org staff often met each others as well. In my case I met Aaroneusthegreat in 2009 and I often see Juju since late 2010. Juju also met Deep Toaster (formerly Deep Thought)...

Ok so if you haven't checked ticalc.org yet, the 2014 Program of the Year award has begun! Obviously, the first poll is for the TI-83+/84+ category, and assuming POTY works the same way as previous years, the survey will probably run for 1 week. Then the TI-84+CSE category will follow, then the TI-Nspire.Anyway, here are the TI-83+/84+ programs participating this year:Axio Man! ...

WARNING: HP Prime OS 10077 calc bricking & ICON command to be discontinued soon?
The new HP Prime firmware revision 10077 was said to improve RAM usage and fix various stability issues that were present in previous firmwares. In previous firmwares, sending large program files caused the calculator to become unstable and quickly run out of RAM.However, it seems that the new firmware have made it even worse: When the calculator RAM is saturated, it now ends up corrupting various files stored in your flash memory. Not only this can result into data loss, but it seems like this ...

Bit of a bad news today, as with most TI-Nspire OS releases, the newest OS 4.2 is out for release as of today. Same Boot1 and Boot2, but among the new features we have new IO functions (Get, GetStr and Send) and, most importantly, as you can guess by now, it blocks Ndless 4.0.3, as released last month, without any way to downgrade .So in short, as we say almost every release of the OS...

TI claimed that they were cyber-squatting with their TI-Files name and site URL because people could confuse them with the actual TI website (i.e., ...

The lack of interest from teachers was also a factor. I kinda wish that they had continued for at least US and other markets, but I guess in the case of USA since many...

The calculator of your dreams (or your fears)
I saw a topic on TI-Planet ;t=17473 and I thought it would be interesting to see what people here would like as a new graphing calculator, what they expect the next TI/Casio/HP calculator to be, in terms of technical specs (eg processor name, speed, RAM, flash, etc). Make sure to be somewhat realistic, though, perhaps basing yourself on past TI calculator releases or smartphone attempts at dabbling into calculators (eg Lexibook).

The signature key is required to sign APPs and make them valid for use on the new ez80 calculator, and there is no sign that Texas Instruments have any plans to release a SDK to develop such software.Since factoring an key this large is impossible with today's techno...

Average activity on CW is worse than it was in September 2014 on Omni and a massive amount of its core userbase already ditched calcs, traffic is stagnating despite september normally being when people buy new calcs for school, and TI-Planet recently announced that in 2016, France government is gonna instate new school programs that makes even less place for TI calcs (perhaps eliminate them entirely).Has the TI community really come to an end this time, unlike in 2008?

I saw this coming years ago as critor would say, but it is now a reality: Texas Instruments has decided to block ASM on the TI-83 Premium CE and TI-84 Plus CE.Looks like from now on ASM will have to be added via hacking or whatever, like on the Nspire. Hopefully it's not as difficult as with Ndless and hopefully there is a way to get the old games to run on the new OS. But this is bad news for TI development, especially considering most games are coming out on the CE.Source: ...

[theoretical][debate][TI-84+CE]About porting Axe Parser to color calculators
Axe Parser, for the uninitiated (probably the small minority on this site) is a development tool (compiler kit) and programming language for the TI-8{3|4}+(SE) (henceforth the TI-84). Many games have been written with it. Now, those games are not easily ported to any other calculator (they have to be rewritten.)I'm particularly interested in making a port that can run decently on an TI84+CSE. I wouldn't make it myself, since I'm not an ASM programmer (yet), but maybe one day...Upon compil...
