Tetris on Calculator
- Thread starter daledoe
- Start date
I had a bunch of games on my TI-89. Tetris was one of them.
The was an app for it called puzzlepack. Had a game similar to Mario and then one kinda like bejeweled. And THAT is why I got my C in AP Calc, and got a 1 on my AP test.
Also awesome for Chemistry. Making a program and putting all your notes into your calculator. Not that I did that kind of thing though...

puzzlepack = fuckin awesome.
Block dude kept me from learning calculus to its full extent. Totally worth it.

^ Did you feel like a complete nerd toting your calc around just for the purpose of playing it instead of listening in class?
possible... makes me wanna go buy a canon calc now...
I had Doom on my old calculator, and my friend that had the uber TI calc had FF7 on his (no fucking joke)
And yes, I did write the games as well, the language is very simple and as I was in honors computer science... I even have the TI graph-link to write the programs on my computer and then upload em to the calculator...

it's definitely fake. the screen can only turn on and off the individual lines of the LCD for the numbers - it can't make blocks. that would require a high resolution like that on a ti-89 or even and 83. no 8 digit can ever do this unless you like stacking lines to form "8's" lol
plus, even if it didn't turn into blocks halfway into the video, when it says "TETRIS" the display uses a slightly different type of layout.
The top and bottom lines are split into two individual LCD lines rather than one. i.e. the number 8 would be made up of 7 LCD lines on the starting display and 9 or 10 on the new "TETRIS" display.
FAKE.
now as far as ti-89 games, yeah they are NICE compared to any other calculator. I have a 3-d wire-frame space game, knockoff of starwars. it's pretty neat but really pushes the limits of the processor. whole up/down/left/right 3-d playing field too just like a computer flight sim but without gravity of course.
if you know how to reliably overclock your calculator it would run nicer, but i never cared to that extent nor do i want to overheat my 100 dollar calculator i that need for calculus. tetris is good enough anyway. tanker is good too. and mario. blah blah blah...

the two player games rocked as well, though the wire between two calculators was obvious in class...
we had a teacher that made us delete the memory on the calcualor... we made a program that made it LOOK like we did...
