I like that -- one of my favorite TI-83 games. Here's my js1k entry (-:

I noticed that too! Good stuff.

I agree. While I enjoy that it just makes everything look OK (since I don't care about most of the details), the best parts are the super easy macro definitions and being able to write equations (almost) as fast as I could by hand since it's all text -- I took notes for my physics and math classes in latex. Awesome packages like PGF/tikz, beamer(!) and listings are icing on the cake. Then again, the error messages are abysmal and placing tables is a huge chore.

That's interesting and pretty hilarious. Did you ever find a middle ground between the soft turns of phrases and being cartoonishly masculine?

The part about the "more limited set of words available" is the same for me. My vocab is okay, but strongly biased toward certain (mainly household) topics.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! It's the pitch and also the things I say... apparently a lot of it is very "cute". Needless to say, our sex life is in English.

I live in America and only speak swiss german with my wife. Apparently I talk like a girl when I speak swiss now.

A TI-83+ silver edition was my first programming experience in 8th grade. All I knew was TI-basic with its 2 character labels for goto and one character variables. I tried to program a game and filled up a page with notes on what the code at the 100 different labels did... you can imagine my shock when I first saw functions and arrays in C!

I just submitted mine! It's a shortened version of this (don't click if using firefox on linux because of bug #550845): http://cs.uiowa.edu/~mltucker/js/chaos/ ... although bit simpler and without jquery of course.

I love this stuff.
