Hey guys, I'm just curious  Grin
I do it because the computer already has all (most of) the software anyone could ever think of. The calculator front has much more open room for creativity. Another part of it is that the calculator is just so portable and is allowed everywhere (like in classrooms) where computers and phones can't go. It gives me a happy feeling to be able to carry a program I made everywhere, and impress my friends.  Smiley Finally, things like slow processors and scarce RAM pose an interesting challenge to programmers not found in other platforms.

What do you guys think?

A lot of people here STARTED programming with calculators. Personally I do it for most of the reasons sammyMaX said in his post. It's an interesting challenge to make functional games at tolerable speeds with restricted graphics and memory. It's also very portable.

Yeah, my first language was TI-BASIC, which got me into programming.

Of course, because it's handheld and allowed in classrooms, and it's not computer programming. Which is mainstream. (hipster mode on Tongue)

I program because I can, therefore I must. Tongue
After all, don't we do what we must because we can?
Logged




So, yeah, I have a blog now. Nothing special, just your average ghost town.

Spoiler for Projects:
Spoiler for Pokemon TI:
Map engine is going to be redone from scratch, since I was lacking in organization last time. With a project as big as Pokemon, planning and organization is key, so that will probably be the brunt of the work done on this project for the time being.

Spoiler for Nostalgia:
Being worked on. Nothing really new to put here, but it's being worked on.

Spoiler for Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack.

Spoiler for Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Currently on hold. I am unsure of whether this will remain DCS7 Hybrid BASIC or if it will use Batlib, Grammer or perhaps Axe.
This may see more progress once a demo of Nostalgia is released.

I personally don't program on my 8x calcs anymore much (just math utilities now to aid with.. Math) but I do program in C on my Prizm.

I program for three reasons: to practice and get better, to feel accomplished, and to win stuff.
