Back when we were doing quadratic equations; I wrote a program on my TI-84 that would ask which parts of the equation you already had, and would fill in the rest for you.

My teacher liked it so much he bought a transfer cable for those calculators so he could get a copy for himself. Then used to to grade tests.

So you didn't get the transfer cable with your calculator? Smells fishy

you can code directly on the device, it's just a PAIN to do compared to moving the files over

Can confirm, as someone who spent multiple study halls trying to program a top down shooter on his calculator
