Title: Finally introducing myself!
Post by: apcalc on July 09, 2010, 10:39:18 pm

Hi!  I have been at this forum for a little while already, but I though that I would formally introduce myself.

I have been into calcs for about nine months now.  I got into calcs when I got my TI-89 last year.  My first experience with programming was manually typing in the code to a short TI-BASIC program to another TI-89.  I had to figure out how the program worked and I was soon writing simple math programs in TI-BASIC.  I later got a TI-Nspire because my state tests do not allow the usage of a CAS, so I also started programming that in BASIC.

Recentally, I have been teaching myself C for the 89 and Nspire recentally.  I am still learning, but I still have several more years of calculator usage ahead of me so I hope to be able to eventunally be able to develop quality games.  I don't know too much yet, but I am learning quickly and I have made some decent games despite my lack of complete knowledge of the language.

I have two or three more years of calculator usage ahead of me, and I will try to stay here longer even if I stop programming.  I have enjoyed my experience here at omnimaga for the short time I have been here and I hope to have even more enjoyable moments!

I'm glad you are around and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay so far.

Good luck in your programming stuff. A bunch of people here got Nspire calcs, so if you made C games for them, you got a big audience already (for calc stuff). If Ndless 2.0 ever comes out, you would have an even bigger one due to all people who don't want to downgrade to 1.1. Sadly I am not sure if the 68k community is alive anymore so TI-89 audience may be smaller, but there are still 89 users I am sure. I hope you can do some great games during your years of calc programming ;D

I also hope you stick around once you stop (if you ever stop. I myself coded for calcs for 9 years now, even thought I slacked down since 2005 :P)

Welcome here (officially).  Now, where did those peanuts go? :D
