Hey guys,  
Do you any of you own a TI-83 calculator made by Texas Intsruments?  
If you do then you probably already know how to write programs on it?  
I’m just wondering, because one day I just decided to learn how to script on the calculator and make games!  
What kind of script is that on the ti-83? Is it a whole another branch?  
thanks

I made a couple of game a few years ago, before I started coding on the computer. The coding on the calculator itself was actually quit horrible. I still have some very awesome programs that help me with stuff quite easily, such as for example the ABC formula.

I never really looked into the shell/ion kinda simulators or whatever you call 'em, With that you can really make interesting stuff that would actually be fun to play.
