I was going to check my email but my mom had forgotten to log out of hers and at the top of the inbox it said "confirmation email" and had a little blurb about an 89.

Accidentally hacked his own account and banned it?   People like that usually feel safe saying whatever they want on the internet, but the moment they draw a lot of attention they fall-back and go on to another site.

If you press x too many times you'll run out of good luck. If you have Windows you should always be worried your computer will blow up if you press anything :pop:

Same, the funky layout is really annoying. The menu layout stinks compared to the 83/84/+/SE (I think) so I made a custom one that's fairly close.   Another thing that bothers me is that for getKey it will only return the code for the key combination   (ie. if someone pressed 2nd before hitting left you would get a different number), so you have to add in extra checks in case somebody accidentally hit another button) and you can't read someone pressing 2nd, alpha, shift or that other thing (don't know what it's called). sorry for the rant

My cousin has gotten 3 regular 89s from online stores/auctions/classifieds etc. for under $40. My mom just ordered me one for Christmas yesterday (she doesn't know I know). There are still plenty out there.
And there aren't any differences for mathematics that I know of.

I still program entirely on-calc because I can do it really fast, and because I can't make heads-or-tails of any line that stretches longer than 16 characters.
I haven't had many crashes, but when I do have one I don't lose much. I always try and keep a copy of all my files in the archive (with groups), so a RAM clear won't hurt anything. I also try and back my calc up once a week, since I hear so many horror stories.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/processexplorer.mspx is useful too. It's like the task manager but it shows the full name and the location of each running process and the company who made it. With it you can generally figure out which processes you can get rid of. (all you do is end the ones that have Microsoft as the company! j/k, maybe not )

@DJ: If you have windows, remember that msconfig is your friend. It's amazing how much crap Microsoft has running at startup.

You can always use an emulator, you do have a computer and internet access....right? (you can't argue with that logic, cuz if you do you'll be proving my point   ha!)

It runs nicely, not too fast or not too slow. :thumbup:  (I've never even heard of this game though, so it might be me guessing how this is supposed to be) It's programmed well, and a lot better than most people's first attempts (especially mine). Like trevmeister66 said, the biggest improvement you can make is utilizing loops rather than Lbl/Gotos, because the calc actually starts searching for them at the very top of the program, so if you have a large program they will slow it down considerably. This page http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/controlflow has a lot of detailed information on looping and program structure, and looking around the rest of the site can be useful for you too One more side note: when you're using disp, you don't have to have each on a separate line, you can separate the strings with commas, like c1--> | CODE | | ec1:Disp "thing1","thing2","thing3"c2 |
ec2 Now for the fun part, optimizing [edit] I just tried putting it in warp mode in PTI (super-fast mode in an emulator), and without pressing any buttons I somehow got to level 8 without dying, it was kind of weird (this has nothing to do with the code but it was kind of funny :lmao:  )

They were just using the timer to prove which command was faster/slower, it's easier than counting bars/pixels

That cuts out the first element and doesn't add on a new one. @trevmeister66, if you wanted to move everything down (left in your list) and cut off the first element and add a new number to the end(which is the exact opposite of what you're doing now) you can use c1--> | CODE | | ec1?List(cumsum(augment(L1,{Nc2 |
ec2
which is 7 shorter. All you would have to do is switch your list around.

I think the only commands on an 84 that aren't on an 83+ are the time/date commands and the OpenLib,ExecLib ones

Some information on high scores can be found http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/highscores. Also, a couple other nice things about the SetUpEditor command is that it will unarchive a list automatically and that it doesn't modify data in the list.
