I did for a while but then my teacher found out and I didn't want to get in trouble so i deleted it

http://www.brandonw.net/calcstuff/fake.zip

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) 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.

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)

I swear.
If they start making tutorials on how to program games...

OMG...

That is so sexy its scary.

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

The level editor crashed mostly when you wanted to delete a column  

lol, it has been a while since I made a topic with so much response  

EDIT:

However, at my school it was kinda common to see girls play calc games. Most only played Ztetris, though.

Yeah, but never seen them making a vid so I posted this 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

They said "15mHz Zilog z80 proccessor and 24 KBs of available RAM"
^That is so sexy its scary.

i couldn't agree more

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.
