What games have you tried playing on a graphing calculator if you have one?
Minecraft 😂
DOOM, Pac-Man, Pokemon Red, and a heavily simplified form of minecraft
they all worked
No games
Hey how are you doing buddy?
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!
I was not expecting an entire community making games for an effing calculator.
the history of calculator gaming has lots of history, search it up! It’s amazing! You can even play mario on it.
Woah
Its an device which can run custom programs, of course this will be abused xd
I mean, how much fun is it to play videogames in class ?
Wait till you hear about the doom community
give the person who made geometry dash on a fucking calculator an oscar
Oops Antiswear
@@lauralionel6760 no one cares
nah, nobel prize would fit better
wdym antiswear, i can still see my word@@lauralionel6760
HOW DID ANTI-SWEAR NOT DETECT THIS?!?
It is INSANE that people can make games on calculators
Can I be the X to your Y?
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.
its insane how he doesnt know:
set v to 0
forever {
change v by -1
change y by v}
when devbanana uploads, you know its a rare day
Bro's calculator is better than my gaming setup
Best video so far
So excited for more!!
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.
Ayyyy love this vid! Actually had this idea a while back, awesome you were able to follow through with it :D
hi juju
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)
Finally, I can do something useful in school! (Great video btw haha)
this is why i love graphing calculators; they have a bright screen
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❤
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)
I love this dudes content lol been here since day one
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
It’s impossible to use the invisible screen on TiBASIC to make your game run seamlessly without buffering.
TI... such nostalgia!
Bro now I’m going to get a graphing calculator and learn this programming language I’m making my game on this
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.
Yeah it uses a z80 which is basicly an intel 8080 but with some added things.
top tier video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think you could just do short and long lines to fill shapes. Great Video!
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
oh yeah nvm @@imaMONKE725
woah cool!
i have a game boy advance emulator on my ti nspire, casually playing pokemon firered and doom in math class
100k here we go!
Gotta do this in school now, thxs
Soooo cooool!!
Nice!
Very nice, though I think you can also code for it in C++ which is way less limited than TI basic
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. $$$$$$$
niccce. I really want a graphing calc to do stuff with, oh well.
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
devbana youre dani before hes gone
I wonder how many parents made the mistake of getting their kids a calculator
Hello, could you make a cooperative mode the same or similar to Resistance 2, please?
amazing video, but please add a song editor to your rhythm game bro PLEASE. I cannot wait to play this tho
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
Graphic calculators are basically just classic devices which are still being made today
My man, you sound very similar to a youtuber by the name of "Pikasprey Yellow" and I swore you two were the same person for a moment
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
the number guessing game can be coded on a casio fx 50fh
LETS GOO DEVBANANA UPLOAD
nice
Cool
bro math will no longer be boring
your new subscriber
OH MY GOD A GEOMETRY DASH REFERENCE IN A DEVBANANA VIDEO???????
ericvanwilderman needs to play geometry dash on a calculator
A Very Insane trick is that if you learn C++, you Can easily understand other programming languages because you'll feel familiar witn the other programming launguages
Me in the test when I’m done:
Can you make the chrome dino game in first person? Please 🙏
Wait… I have that calculator🤔
Now you can use it to its best purpose
LESGOOOOO HES BACK WOHOOO ❤️ 🇩🇿
Hello from Syria 🇸🇾
He most upload video about 0-5 month per video bro wdym he's back he's still alive bro
My school has those but they blocked the program feature
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?
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
@@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!
Pro tip: JUST DOWNLOAD A GRAPHING CALCULATOR ON YOUR PHONE-
Saves time
inf memory
Very cool
And offline so if you get bored with no games you can play.
@@II_Faither Thats great however I just wanted to know if I could potentially use in school (:
Does anyone know if theres cookie clicker available for these calculators? would be fun..
someone made a game boy color emulator for a god damn calculator
The kid in the back of the class:
OMG😊
Man needs to jailbreak that calculator and write programs for it in C or asm fr
That’s the only way fast rendering and whatnot works - I have a ti-84 plus ce that I use to code in my free time. Also have Pokémon Red installed on it :)
I can make a calculator snowman
how do you dobthat
If you want a bit of history on the subject. "This does not compute" has a video on the topic. Id link it but my comment might be shadow banned
That is why math is useful
Nah this ain't a calculator anymore
Thats a goddamn 2023 Gameboy
now do pizza tower on calculator
Bro I literally forgot about you
bro what's next is he gonna play flappy bird on a pregnancy test? (based off a real story)
Why does my lud sound like budget LIMC?? 😭😭
can it run doom
could you please i beg you to try make a field hockey game there is an estimated two billion fans of field hockey and their isn't on good game for it please make one
how
Lol You should Try to make a Game With Scratch
Bro someone at my school had 2d Minecraft on his calculator, lets just say he’s never really that focused in math class
insane
I had chess and Mario on mine. The thing didn't even have a mb of storage, idk how both fit on it
@@ZedDevStuff yeah lol
Wassup
IT CAN RUN DOOM!!!!!
Been a long time since I didn't watch you last time i watched it was like 1K subs💀(been here since 700 subs)
make doom on it
3:58 😐
Hello
MUSIC IS LOUD
HOW DO YOU RECREATE GEOMETRY DASH ON A CALCULATOR
4:20
#devbananacomeback
How is This even possible?
This is the TI-84 Plus CE *Python*
Maybe you should have used Python instead
i dont get why every youtube guy uses this graphing calculator when the casio fx cg50 is way better
I had to get this one for school lol
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
Love from 🇧🇩🇧🇩 bangladeshh
It looks like You made it in scratch
10:00
Bro are you alive 😢
MAKE DOOM
PLSS
20
Make a random math quiz game, and make it on a calculator.
