Essential Calculator Programs
« on: April 10, 2013, 11:38:00 pm »
So, after I bought my fancy new TI-84+, after having lost my previous TI-83+ for about 5 months, I looked at my empty program list, and felt a sad, empty feeling within me.
I have concluded that this feeling is because I need more calculator programs!

Which brings me to my main question...
What are the ESSENTIAL (ok, some games may not be essential, but I want those too!) programs, apps, tools, any things for your calculator?

So... comment with your favorite calc programs!

What do you have in mind? Utility? Games? Customization?

My own, kind of utility- and programming-centered apps list:
Axe
Calcsys
MSD8X
Omnicalc
Portal
USBDRV8X
zStart		   Programming language
Hex editor and other technical stuff
Doesn't work on newer calcs, unfortunately :/ reads flash drives
Awesome utility, especially in pre-MP oses imo
:P
Usb driver, needs a not-very-common adapter tho
Really awesome utility ;D

I suggest having a look through this, there's some pretty cool stuff in there (CleanArc is a must-have). Also this, for extra security/awesomeness.

Just as a curiosity, how new is your calculator? Did you just buy it, or is it second-hand?

Just a heads-up: MSD8X and USBDRV8X do work on newer calcs, though they have limited functioning.

Other than that, you might want to have a look at TI-Boy to play GBC games :)

TI Boy only emulates GB, not GBC.

What I use :
Axe + Mimas (ASM IDE)
Calcsys + XXEdit because I don't like the Calcsys editor
GroupTool to manage groups
MSD8x + USB8x (though I need to make an adapter)
Omnicalc + Symbolic (math + custom)
TI's periodic table
zStart + DoorsCS7 (awesome shells)
Unsingned (name on about screen, lets you downgrade if you have boot code 1.03)

This is a mix of programming, math and customization.

Games :
Cube Runner
Dark Falldown
Fruit Ninja
The Impossible Game
Rainbow Dash Attack
AxeSnake
Temple Run
Zombie Gun
zTetris

No longer playing, still on my computer :
Embers Phoenix
Graviter
Pokemon Topaze
Portal Prelude
Simul
Stick Ninja
Super Mario 2.0
The Psyche
TI-Boy

That's pretty much what I have or had and kept on my computer. All very good stuf. ;)

I actually have the same situation. I just bought an 84SE off of a friend and want to be able to do math, programming and of course games. I would love to have a symbolic math program that can handle integration with arbitrary variables and of course simplification. I would also like to move from C/++ to lower level languages and eventually asm. How would you suggest I start on that?

I'd suggest you just start learning asm and ask questions whenever you have them :) You can start with Hot_dog's tutorial, Asm in 28 days, or like a lot of us just start looking at code and asking lots and lots of questions!

Axe and Grammer are also low-level languages so you can choose one of those too :)
Of course at first your syntax will look like Basic and be unoptimized, but you'll soon discover the joys of writing optimized code that uses Basic tokens but means nothing and still work :P
And once you understood everything about how Axe works, I think that trying ASM will be easier :)

(In fact, I did it the other way: I did some ASM before and it helped me understand Axe better lol, and I recently came back a bit to ASM and then it was Axe who helped me, so I really think both languages help learn the other :))

I've never played Rainbow Dash Attack lol
But me and Streetwalker have the same apps, except I have some personally modified apps.

One other thing I want to add onto this is should I switch OS from 2.55 and if so why?

I personally dislike 2.55 because it's so buggy and some ASM programs throw a hissyfit with it. However it's better for math.

Why do people keep saying that 2.55 is buggy? In my experience, 2.55 is no buggier than 2.43, bugs are just caused by a few old programs that made bad assumptions. With MathPrint turned off, I have found extremely few things that don't work fine in OS 2.55. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that Omnicalc's entries menu doesn't work, but you don't need that anyways because of the built-in command history scrollability on the home screen.

If you know of any bad OS 2.53/2.55 bugs, feel free to share, though. They may be there, I just haven't found them in my experience, so I'm quite happy with the new MP OSes.
