They can all be done in BASIC, even though the final one would take a lot of space and work, but the other ones are certainly do-able. You can do the quiz with the MENU-command, or if there is no such thing on your calc, you can simply create your own selection menu's, which does take more memory space but which can look very good too.

Can all those things be done in BASIC, or do I need to use Ndless if I want to do more than a quiz?

As a warning, if you're using an Nspire, its version of BASIC sucks. Practically no graphics commands or getKey, so all of sjasogun1's suggestions would either be impossible or extremely difficult in BASIC.

You can use graphs and premade pics to do some graphics stuff, though, but the biggest letdown is the lack of a getKey, which means anything not turn-based is pretty much impossible.

Note that if he has a TI-84 Plus keypad he could simply use the TI-84 Plus BASIC, though.

Oh well.
I'll start off with a quiz which I'm guessing shouldn't be that hard. And maybe I'll put Ndless on it a bit later.
Thanks again for your replies!
