I Tried Making Games on a Calculator...

[@DevBanana]

What games have you tried playing on a graphing calculator if you have one?

[@Esyaliu]

Minecraft 😂

[@DavidandRocket]

DOOM, Pac-Man, Pokemon Red, and a heavily simplified form of minecraft they all worked

[@BatRaptor3]

No games

[@mythicpulse-i9o]

Hey how are you doing buddy?

[@rgc-exists]

I have 3 different calculators and for a while I was obsessed with having games on all of them. I played: -A minecraft clone on the TI-Nspire -A Geometry Dash clone -A pacman clone -A 2048 clone -A wordle clone -A donkey kong clone -A color swap clone And a whole bunch of other stuff!

[@SirAU]

I was not expecting an entire community making games for an effing calculator.

[@lamppost101]

the history of calculator gaming has lots of history, search it up! It’s amazing! You can even play mario on it.

[@NaraSherko]

Woah

[@floschy_1]

Its an device which can run custom programs, of course this will be abused xd

[@sgt_castor]

I mean, how much fun is it to play videogames in class ?

[@autumnblueberry]

It is INSANE that people can make games on calculators

[@qomz8791]

Can I be the X to your Y?

[@cursed_cats5710]

The more complex games, like the Pac-Man game briefly shown around ~30s in, run on native machine code for the Z80 processor variant the TI-84 uses. The Z80 processor has been in use for almost half a century now, so it's no surprise people know how to squeeze performance out of it.

[@zyriu1]

its insane how he doesnt know: set v to 0 forever { change v by -1 change y by v}

[@googoogaagaayt]

No it isn't. It isn't

[@oreon_]

Bro's calculator is better than my gaming setup

[@katyakuzmina7298]

when devbanana uploads, you know its a rare day

[@katyakuzmina7298]

@Jetblue178 devbanana never uploads :( i talked to him and he says he might make a vid soon

[@dylangourlay392]

Best video so far So excited for more!!

[@pixelpinko]

That may never happen tho :(

[@RainbowDevil-897]

[@JujuProdGames]

Ayyyy love this vid! Actually had this idea a while back, awesome you were able to follow through with it :D

[@lamppost101]

hi juju

[@ebbewertz3417]

There is also a thing called the ICE compiler. It lets u write code in amother language then basic, which also has multiple data types like arrays and way better graphics/sprite support. Then u just throw ur ICE program on ur calculator, install the ICE compiler and let it compiler to Assembly code (code that can directly interact with the processor, so it runs extremely fast) and then run ur program by writing in ur calculator "Asm(program name)" (or a TI basic program that executes this one command if u dont wanna write it each time)

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

I actually managed to create a pretty good top down game on my ti 84+ ce python, conplete with dialog boxes, map loading, and collision, all without the graphing screen. It literally just uses text on screen (I even made an editor). It works really fast, because I use some optimizations, like not redrawing the screen every time (it just draws the player's new position and draws the tile the player was under). I have also created an analog clock using the graphing screen. It doesn't use a background image for the clock, it draws that the first time it runs. The hands move by drawing the hand, and then when it updates, it erases the line (draw a white line where it was), then draws the new line.

[@NathanOnline]

Finally, I can do something useful in school! (Great video btw haha)

[@thedouble1269]

you should learn double buffering. essentially it renders everything in an invisible “screen”, then it copies it over to the visible screen so that it’s not drawing the items over and over again

[@suspense_comix3237]

It’s impossible to use the invisible screen on TiBASIC to make your game run seamlessly without buffering.

[@LessThanPro]

I had no idea you could make programs utilizing actuall graphics! I've been struggling to find creative uses for the text menu the whole time! Also, if you press the mode key and set the draw mode to dot-thin, your render times should speed up significantly. (The other settings i havent tested so much)

[@chipobject]

this is why i love graphing calculators; they have a bright screen

[@Noober666]

To polish score addition, instead of giving the player a point when they exit a pipe give them a point when they reach the center so like if player.x = pipe.x then add point

[@DiabloGregWindcharmerReal]

Bro now I’m going to get a graphing calculator and learn this programming language I’m making my game on this

[@BlueOctopusDev]

i have a game boy advance emulator on my ti nspire, casually playing pokemon firered and doom in math class

[@blindmanflamingfishdafeesh]

I made a Flappy Bird game on my calculator using the TI_Draw module in Python, but was disappointed by the extreme slowness of the graphic rendering. I clicked on this video based on the thumbnail to see what you did, and now I realize I'm not alone in the pain of slow TI graphics.

[@bozochoccy]

I love this dudes content lol been here since day one

[@100onyt]

Your the best man you inspired me to be a game developer I am currently doing Java script and python rn I hope you make more games like these❤

[@gazehound]

fun fact: the 84+ CE has an ez80 CPU, which is based on the z80. many game consoles and home computers throughout the history of gaming have used the z80, so it's not super surprising that you can make quite polished games on this and other TI calculators.

[@AlT-s2s]

Yeah it uses a z80 which is basicly an intel 8080 but with some added things.

[@anawan]

TI... such nostalgia!

[@ItzPeechYT]

I think you could just do short and long lines to fill shapes. Great Video!

[@imaMONKE725]

the problem here is that the calculator takes some time to draw a pixel, so filling all of it at the same time and filling it line by line ends up with the same result

[@ItzPeechYT]

oh yeah nvm @@imaMONKE725

[@Pixel_Paradise8478]

This was how you would play games if you couldn’t afford a game boy back in the day

[@KingOfMadnesss]

Graphic calculators are basically just classic devices which are still being made today

[@VIsTheMusic]

HP and Casio and TI have all caught on to this, so they're making these "sumple" machines way more expensive than ever for students. $$$$$$$

[@tinnguyenanimations522]

I wonder how many parents made the mistake of getting their kids a calculator

[@wsammane]

The problem we faced with drawing it can be fixed by putting your image on like the back shader like the back z position so like you do like screen 2 you set the image drawing on screen 2 And then switch switch the the actual drawing image into screen two then do the same thing but instead do it with screen one and from there it's a basically a loop I've only seen This work on the T84

[@lamppost101]

amazing video, but please add a song editor to your rhythm game bro PLEASE. I cannot wait to play this tho

[@DevBanana]

don’t worry one day i’ll finish it lol. It’s a lot harder than I thought and I don’t really have time rn

[@TheOneHong]

the number guessing game can be coded on a casio fx 50fh

Very nice, though I think you can also code for it in C++ which is way less limited than TI basic

[@Liljinks]

Gotta do this in school now, thxs

[@cholsreammos]

I use a TI-83+ and my first actual project (besides a 20 line blackjack program) i just got on the actual calc Full user system and login with a message board and dm system. Plus actual blackjack as a bonus lol But if you wanna keep doing this i suggest getting a rom for 84+CE and user JStified and emulating it, that way it it breaks you dont permanently destroy your $90 calc

It is better but the ti calculators basically have taken over the market. And i like the z80 more then the Hitachi or unknown renesas black blob chip in the casio. Irs a kind of calculator monopoly

[@unpopularplays3707]

Do you have to recode it every time / re - put it on the calculator using your computer or can you just upload it to the calculator and have it there?

[@DevBanana]

You can keep it on the calculator, but games are stored in the ram, so if you get too many games it'll start to drain the battery faster or run slower. It's not really an issue with just a couple small games

[@unpopularplays3707]

@@DevBanana Thanks, I probably won't ever create a game for a graphing calculator since I never need one but I will keep this in mind if I get one!
