6327: When a glitch happens on a game (even ones not on a calc), your PTSD activates and you can't stop quivering and thinking about that one time where your calculator game malfunctioned for about two seconds. (true story)

thats a bit of an extreme

6430: You want every programmable calculator that you can get.(true story)

u can count me in :D

6320: Your friend isn't surprised that you have your calculator in your pocket at all times.

that sounds like me

6322: Your teacher knows that when you have a calculator in your hands, you're not doing math.
All of these are true stories.

well well well

at least they take it away from me :D

Note: The yelling part for my old post is true. I yelled at T.Wang (guy on Cemetech that lives down the street from me) for not optimizing a TI-83+ BETA for a game (Dodge). He does N-spire coding so I blame him...

Do addicted to Cemetech posts count?

6432:  You convince someone in your family to also have an interest in graphing calculators. (true story.)

6 times? That's a lot.

Indeed. I think it depends of the situation, though, such as whether someone is being intentionally rude/causing troubles or not (although if someone hacks the site, deletes everything then pretends it was an accident it might not work <_<)

6434: You get angry when people show off their TI-84+SE/TI-84+C SE/TI-82 in front of you, and claim to not know/don't have time to program. (true story)
6435: You change your email avatar to a bag of Omnimaga Peanuts.(true story)
6436: You teach people in TSA TI BASIC (true story)
6437: Everything you post here is a true story(true story)
6438: You spam your friends with pictures of Omnimaga Peanuts (true story)
6439: You modified a 4 function calculator with your friend. You smashed most of the case and cracked the faceplate (or whatever you call it), and it still works! (true story)


DJ_O: I just read the SirCmpwn article yesterday.

Wait...you can afford not to optimize Nspire BASIC? It can get hideously slow on large projects, even with good code. (That's what killed slang; I couldn't have a good feature set without being unusable normally.)

Nspire basic is slow even on a 150 MHz calc?? Was it coded by Casio or what? O.O

It gets slow when you're running a language on top of expr, hash table arrays, and string processing (you have to write pretty much everything yourself, which isn't the greatest even with the most optimal algorithms; native always wins in speed).

Wow... but how does it compare to TI-83 Plus BASIC, for example? Is it even slower?

Pretty sure it's faster in most cases, but strings aren't the greatest data transport methods.
Edit: If you want to look at the file, it's in the download here.
