:P

Well, I'll be damned!
Some girls DO like calculators! :D
-
There are no girls on the Internet. This should be a universally understood law by now. :P
-
lol what about my gf?
-
Wow, what a video. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't include anything by Calc84. ;D
-
Pshh, like I've actually released any real games other than Chip's Challenge :P
-
Girls on the Interwebz? :O
Lies and slander!
-
lol what about my gf?
You proved that you have access to her account. Maybe it's just you! =O
just kidding, obviously
-
Holy crud, that's awesome.
I didn't think such paradoxes existed. They said "15mHz Zilog z80 proccessor and 24 KBs of available RAM"
^That is so sexy its scary.
-
lol, well of course I can access her account :P I'm an admin, I can access anybodies account >:P
of course I know you are kidding :P
-

nice vid XD
However, at my school it was kinda common to see girls play calc games. Most only played Ztetris, though.
-
I swear.
If they start making tutorials on how to program games...
OMG...
That is so sexy its scary.
-
Lol
-
lolwut? This is funny...
Looks like times are changing. Nobody ever seen those around on the fora?
-
Nah I don't think they signed up on forums. Girls playing calc games were definitively common for a while, though. Remember: I graduated from hi school in June 2003.
-
They more easily get addicted to games than sign up in forums and post. Although I know some girls that wandered for a while in forums (without posting much). :)
It is so much easier to find girls in MMO Strategy games than in calc community. *runs*

Wow. Not only did I never think I would see a girl on the internet, but I certainly never thought they would also play Calc games. That is epic.
But it's probably fake because it's too good to be true.
-
Naw.
It's real.
They know what they're talking about.
-
Also I doubt they would spend time making a calc video if they didn't care about them. That's unless, of course, this video was a school project.
-
GAH!
The inhumanity!
:c
It would totally suck if they were just doing a school project.
Got my hopes up for nothing...
:C
-
Lol yaa...Im uh, pretty sure Im a girl :P Altho he does take to hacking my signature :P And lots of girls at my school have games on their calculators, I did for a while but then my teacher found out and I didn't want to get in trouble so i deleted it :P
-
Hooray!
Do you program too?
If you do, that will be the greatest day.
-
Lol um..im learning...slowly...very slowly lol. Nathaniel sent me some tutorials and so im working through them when I have time :)
-
That's cool. It's neat that you want to learn why Eeems is so interesting in something that not many people are interested in. ;D
-
Well that is the point of a relationship is it not? He listens to me ramble on about all my crap lol, so i think its only fair to take an interest in his stuff :)
-
The trick is to not start too huge with projects, if you start any. Also don't go too far in tutorials at first. You can check of course, if you are curious, but it's always best to start with the rudimentary stuff at first. Even if TI-BASIC is easier than many other programming languages, it can still be hard to start with if you never programmed before. It was my case several years ago, and for my very first calculator game, I had to do a very small role playing game with one dungeon split in two parts and only one kind of enemy and magic spell. It lasted about 15-30 minutes of gameplay and was very broken. It took me about 6 months until I can manage to do something that is complex enough.
In my first game ever, which was called Labyrinth of Illusions, there were no graphics in battles and full of errors x.x. Game was absolutely massive too, for what it can do. Later the game had an intro animation added as well as battle intro animation and graphics in battles. Errors were fixed too, game made smaller, altough game is still big compared to what I could do now. I renamed it to Illusiat once battle graphics were added in September 2001.
Keep in mind that back when I still programmed for calculators non-stop, I had no internet access at home, so all I had to learn was the huge TI-83+ manual. Even if I had internet, though, the only TI-83 BASIC tutorial avaliable back in the days was Basic Guru and it only has half of the tricks we know today on TI-BASIC Developer. It also didn't show how to make games, if I remember.
-
I have girls playing mario and other asm games on calc all the time. more than one time, my school's math teacher told me not to transfer games to their calculators -_-;; I usually don't give them big BASIC games, because they will get confused on how to archive/unarchive it, how to play them, etc., so I just give them mirage os and bunch of easy-to-play games
-
doesn't mario crash every 10 minutes, tho?

Except that
1) There were reports from an user on a forum about this program containing a bug causing the calculator to reset for real. I think it was on United-TI or CalcGames.
2) Some teachers are aware such programs exist, and will check in case one may be running on the user calc, quit it, then reset the memory successfully

1) Reseting anything involving the archive screws it up, and you end up having to reset the RAM. I uses CalcUtil, so I haven't had much of a problem with this.
2) Don't know how to address this, I guess you could in theory lock down your calculator pretty good, and make it so this can't be reset anyway.
-
1) aaah I see
2) well, then the teacher could see it as an attempt to prevent him from resetting the calc and take it away during an entire test and lend you a different one.

I thought she was concerned more with it being reset in general, personally, I would give up my calculator during a test to avoid getting it reset. However, I cannot see a good method to prevent a calculator from being reset, aside from installing Brandon Wilson's application, faking the reset yourself, and showing the teacher that there are no programs, apps, or anything of signifigance.
-
Over here, most tests rendered calc programs useless anyway. You had to write down the entire problem solution for them, and the solution counted for 75% of the question total score. So basically they did not bother removing our programs. Some schools also use the teacher locking stuff on newer 84 OSes (which can be disabled by a program by Mapar007, though)

Press-to-Test, also killed by Brandon Wilson (and Mapar007, I just didn't know about it). I have always written my programs for math and science such that they tell me what work to put down ;)

I swear.

OMG...

I'll make a tutorial solely dedicated to game design, if there are none already done. But only for TI-Basic game design.
-

I have a tutorial to do that somewhere on ticalc. It's practically unbreakable, but I didn't look into silent linking. (and also it assumes that you don't screw open the thing)

The level editor crashed mostly when you wanted to delete a column :-X
lol, it has been a while since I made a topic with so much response :D
EDIT:

Yeah, but never seen them making a vid so I posted this :P Indeed girls seem to prefer games like ZTetris, altho some also like to play Mario 2.0 (: But guys seem to be more interested in making levels for it, c'z like previous year almost every male in my class attempted to make some levels, and the girls just played them :P
-
Yeah, but never seen them making a vid so I posted this Tongue Indeed girls seem to prefer games like ZTetris, [...]
Yes, I agree because [in my opinion] girls tend to be more casual-oriented about gaming (and coding) in general.
I only know very few female persons (in real life!), who are seriously into either gaming or coding...
lolje

i couldn't agree more :D

I think two girls at work are into gaming, one even plays Halo 3, but they pplay games far less often.

You know, I think it's interesting how people often question why men or women aren't generally interested in certain things, aren't skillful with certain types of tasks, etc., but they won't acknowledge neurological gender differences because of how taboo it is to form generalizations. Despite the values of gender equality some of us are instilled with, men and women really aren't that alike. Men and women have different affinities and methods of thinking and problem-solving: The female brain is more geared toward emotional input / output, intuition, creativity, and more abstract thinking; the male brain is more geared toward logic and analytical thinking. That's not a *bad* thing - scientific truths are independent of the value judgments we attach to them. I don't personally feel these differences make either gender better than the other. Each has its own advantages.
What's interesting is that sexual orientation also plays a role in brain development. Gay men were found to have similar brain patterns as heterosexual women, and lesbians were found to have similar brain patterns as heterosexual men. This could mean either of these people are a versatile mash-up of emotional and analytical thinking, having shared patterns due to both gender and orientation. I've especially noticed this correlation within working fields. For instance: Gay men often fill medical nursing positions, psychiatry, or other fields that combine analytical detail with nuturing. Many historic philiosophers were also either gay, or suspected of as much.
Before I digress too much from the original subject - I just don't think you see women taking an active interest in these kinds of fields because of innate affinities they have with more emotional interests. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean you won't find *any* women involved in a particular field of interest.

Precisely, Zera. Though I am about to rock all of your minds. I am friends with a girl who I met as a camp counselor one year. She plays calc games. Not only that, but she also programs. In C++, Java, and TI-Basic.
-
HOLY SHI-.
0.o
Is that even POSSIBLE?!
-
Yes. She is not as proficient in TI-Basic as myself, but in the others, she's good. She's a member of my site: www.c2prgm.webs.com, and goes by the name worldinaword...

Nice, it would be cool if she ever came here :P
In #omnimaga IRC chan I remember a girl who did SMW SNES music porting, and the data to edit is very hackish. I can,t even understand it myself and I believe she even did some SNES assembly for SMW rom hacking purpose. She said she doesn't understand a lot of languages in depth, though. I think in some cases the gender doesn't really make much difference. What sucks, though, is how when a girl is into coding, other girls makes fun of her and when a guy watches Sailor Moon or listen to Britney Spear, other guys laugh at him. I think people should be allowed to do what they enjoy (providing it's legal of course :P)
-
Hey. There's nothing wrong with Britney Spears, especially the music vids, which od on hotness, by the way. Whatever floats ur boat.
-
Hey - I liked Sailor Moon. :(
♪ Fighting evil by moonlight
Winning love by daylight
Never running from a real fight
She is the one named Sailor Moon! ♪
-
Mhmm I never said there was anything wrong about Sailor Moon/britney spears? I do not understand how people are gathering a negative tone out of my post. I was actually complaining about the negativity toward people who likes those...
-
Jeu d'esprit. It was a light-hearted remark. I hoped the smiley would have indicated the context better. :P
-
Oh ok x.x I'm not too used to that kind of sarcasm :P
-
Lol whats going on this night?? Everybody seems to be playing around with you DJ ;D
-
Yeah I am worried D:
Oh well, I eat people anyway.
-
Hahaha I definately had a Sailor Moon lunchbox for school, and my cousin and I were obsessed with Britney Spears when we were 10 :P Although I am a girl :p But I do agree with what your saying. Now a days, if a guy is into ANYTHING girl related, he gets called "gay". So stupid. My little brother is REALLY into drama and his so -called-friends call him gay, which is pretty retarded in my mind.
-
That reminds me, I really love the song in the very first ever Sailor Moon german opening from the early '90s. (my favourite type of music too)
-
Damn. The German Sailor Moon intro was more awesome than all the rest. Lucky Germans. :P
I wonder how heavily censored it was, though. I remember human violence in the media was a touchy subject in Germany. Contra (the video game series) was censored to the point that every character was replaced with a robot so it wouldn't seem like a ton of human-on-human violence.
Also - more Sailor Moon goodness: :P
-
German happy hardcore is actually my favourite type of hardcore. I like the song Tears Don't Lie by Mark Oh, Blumchen Jasmin music and Dune. If you listened to some of my 2007-2009 songs, a bunch are inspired from german happy hardcore. This style was popular there from 1994 to 1996
-
Seems like I heard somewhere that dance genres were pretty popular in Germany. I guess that may be true, given that even Sailor Moon had a pretty upbeat theme song.
-
I am not sure if it's still popular, but yeah in the '90s it was. In UK it was too, but now happy hardcore sounds very different there. Over here we're stuck with generic house/electro that all sound the same and is too slow x.x

Thats why we have the internet so that we can find music we like from anywhere in the world! :)

so true :P

Yup, altough I personally got to know some german happy hardcore and UK hardcore from HMV retail stores, before Resist Music went under. The irony, though, is that while there is music that is impossible to find without the internet, there are also songs that can be found over here but can't be found on the internet, even if their author/labels aren't strict on copyright takedown notices :P. Example is that remix of 7 Colours, by Lost Witness, found on the compilation called Trance All Stars Vol.1, from 2001. I also heard music on the radio over here that I never got able to find anywhere online later, or had an hard time to
-
Seriously? Thats unreal! I can always find anything I need on the internet! D: ..Im going to have to see if I can find this remix of 7 Colours now...dun dun dunnn! =P
-
Lol, yeah I searched Youtube and illegal sites and no luck. Even when it said remix I always ran into the wrong ones x.x
I think some songs that are less popular are really hard to find. Good luck finding over 30 songs from the Super Eurobeat CD serie (199 volumes) on Youtube. I found a dozen so far.
