Where is that app located, totokan? I read the information page on it, and it looked sweet; however, I couldn't find a download for the actual game! Do you know where it is?

Yeah, I can't find it either.

The game WAS looking good, but it seems to have taken a turn for the worse (aka, mass changes everywhere). It's still in alpha/closed beta, as far as I know.

Well to bring up an old topic...
I just got a TI-84 SE and I want to know more about this Mirage OS before I install it.
Does it replace the whole OS or is it a app?
Does it function just like the original OS?
I ask because the teachers have these calcs memorized on how to graph and I don't.
So will every command be in in the same spot with same name?
Can I use the original TI apps with it?

Thanks

Meh, my 84-plus that I got last year lasted about 4 days, then I got bored. Thread started has an attention span of a fish, so I'm amazed this thread is active at all.

MirageOS changes nothing about your calculator. It shows up as a small 16K under the Apps list. That's the only difference. Once you run it, it brings up a small window listing the games you have. You just press Mode and you're back again. No big deal

I like to not worry about calculators because school here doesn't start for another 5 weeks.

Is there anything good for my TI 89 Titanium? I've realized that a TI 84 has better games and Mirage OS is so cool.

Is there anything like Mirage OS for my TI 89 Titanium? And what are some good games? Half the stuff I download for my calc don't even work

I like mirage OS because it allows for lowercase lettering.

I use it along with a variety of games. Phoenix, Mario, Galaga, Falldown (A classic - must have!), Megacar (Runs as an App), Asteroids, Frogguts (Frogger), Jezzball, Pacman99, and Subhunt. Add on a snake game and you're good to go!

How to put games on a calc.

TI 83 Plus - Buy a TI 83 Plus cable (I got mine at Office Depot) Use TI connect to send files to your calc. .83p or .8xg files, i think they're called. I dunno, you'll figure it out.
TI 83 SE - Comes with the calc. Do same as 83 plus.
TI 84 - Comes w/ the calc. You can drag and drop files into your calc. .84 or .83 files.

It's loads of fun for about a year, then it gets boring. But I can stave off boredom in class...a little.

IMO, the best part of the TI calculators is the programming you can do on it. Last year in Algebra II, me and a friend would always have a program written to do what we had to do for the homework before the end of the school day, then gave it to everyone the next day. Fun stuff.

It's TI-BASIC, a variant of BASIC. I think it was fairly easy to learn.
