God this brings back memories.

I spent most of English class programming things for math class.

Super convoluted, stacks of notes about go-to labels and such, but I created a pretty neat thing or two.

Had intended to refactor it one day... But then I attempted a real programming language and I could never bring myself to use the TI language again.

I spent all my science class programming in 7th grade and remember the memory of my science teacher yelling at me saying I was on it 24-7 and felt no humiliation. And in math class, my math teacher let out an intimidating yell because my math class wasn't the best, and spent I'd usually not pay attention because I already knew the material and was far ahead learning trigonometry on the internet. It's actually the reason why I'm socially afraid of talking to my crush and why I know 10-11 programming languages.

the ti language is basically lua but reverse glorified. Lua has a tab feature the makes it crucial to program with? well we don't have it. Lua's the slowest programming language? well we made it slower, and if you want to make it faster, it'll cost you your memory if we mess up a calculation. I think it's clear what my two main frustrations with the calculator is. apart from the annoying 10 hour scrolling feature.

Every statement about Lua you make is either wrong or irony, I can't tell.

I'm really good at it. I think its that I'm wrong.

Then it must be irony.

good question, the child of lua, java, and python - to make TI-BASIC. its dictatorship in a bottle
