Pretty nice. There is one word that might be changed:

It is important for everyone to be brought up to speed on the present situation. The TI-calculator community is composed up of three main groups. They are the teachers, the lay-users, and the programming community. Of those three, the ones that give Texas Instruments the most business are the teachers and the programmers. By encouraging your students to get calculators from Texas Instruments, instead of from its competitor, Casio, you drive sales for TI up enormously. The programming community is the next leading group in terms of business for TI. Whether it be because we have destroyed the programming of our calculator beyond repair, or because we just want to try out new hardware, we also purchase a lot from TI.

The quote below might need to be improved, since teachers would likely not be persuaded by it:

The fact is that you need to trust your students to have the maturity to say "there is a time and a place for everything, and class is not the time for playing games".

Still, it seems quite good and persuasive overall.

@DJ Omnimaga: The game is more strategy than chance. Here's an example if you are confused (for simplicity, I'll use a 3*3 instead of 5*5 board and the calculator's score will not double):

12 23 96
32 69 55
15 1  8

Scores: You-0 Calculator-0

Say you pick 8. Then, the calculator might pick 32. Then, 8 and 32 are gone from the board:

12 23 96
    69 55
15 1  8

Scores: You-0 (since there is no previously selected number) Calculator-8 (since the GCF of 8 and 32 is

Oh, and I forgot to say, the number at the last row of the screen is the last selected number.

Say you pick 96.

12 23
    69 55
15 1  8

Then, you would have 32 points, since the GCF of 32 (the number last selected) and 96 is 32.

Say the calculator picks 12.

    23
    69 55
15 1  8

Scores: You-32 Calculator- 8+gcf(96,12)=20

Then, you pick 23 and the calc picks 1.

    69 55
15     8

Scores: You- 32+gcf(23,12)=33 Calculator- 20+gcf(23,1)=21

And so on. I hope this clarifies the object of the game.   

Actually, most students prefer MathPrint, since they aren't smart enough to visualize it otherwise. And, they don't care about speed, since most people treat the TI-84+ like a 4-operation calculator.

In general, closing parentheses and multiplication symbols should be omitted.
Also, if there is a conditional (If, While, etc.) that requires an expression equal to 1, the =1 part can be omitted. So,

If L=1

would become

If L

now your saying it wrong.
If L/=0
(does not equal)

would become

If L

because "If L" returns 1 if the variable exists


i'll wlak through my prog today and see what i can do with your tips

Well L=1 is basically a subset of L /=0 (a special case), but you're right.

If the only possible values of L are 1 or 0, then you can use If L instead of If L=1. However, if L can be 0, 1, or 2, you would have to use

If L=0
(code)
If L=1
(code)
If L=2
(code)

It probably doesn't make too much of a speed difference, since TI-Basic Developer suggests always using DelVar:

I don't know if it is too late, but I made a level set (with 11 levels).

I have a possibility. The programs that don't send to my calculator are the ones that send to Archive memory, since I changed a program to send to RAM, and it worked just fine.

However, is there a reason there is that number at the bottom?

I'm just wondering, but is the "on-calc font editor" for Correlation posted earlier in this topic supposed to do anything, or is it just supposed to rickroll?
