YOU ARE MY HERO.

I made games for the TI-83 back in high school, using the integrated BASIC. One of them was good enough that it actually got installed on about 90% of calculators that people bothered to load games on. I also made a ton of cheat programs for Chemistry, Physics, Pre-Calc, and Calculus. I had a TI-92 but no one else had one, so I didn't make much for it.

I had all the programming menu numbers memorized for the commands...I only made one game on the PC much later (A 'Diablo' text-based game that used up 23k of memory....which was basically the whole thing...not enough free RAM to run it if you had anything else, hehe). That was my first real programming experience...I learned a lot about logical statements and loops using the limited language on that thing.
