I'm curious if this can be done..take a game or program from a graphing calculator (which is the BASIC language right?) and run it on a linux box...?

i'm not sure but i think ti basic is just a subset of normal basic, so a standard linux basic can run the program. Can a program be transfered in text form with everything still spiffy onto a computer?

This emulator could work, couldn't find it listed on fresmeat, but you can still download the source from that page.

Yeah, just use the emulator. What I wonder is if there's software for Linux that can transfer **** from the computer to the calculator. Occasionally I like to write a program, but typing it in the calculator is undoable (at least for me), and it's annoying booting into Windows to do it.

Oh, never mind, I just found (what appears to be) a good one. http://tilp.sourceforge.net/tilp-linux.php if anybody's interested.

:cool:

Now all I need is a graph link for the 89 (yeah, I was cheap when I bought it originally)... hmmm...

Anybody know where I can get one? I suppose I could check out TI's site, if you don't have to go through a reseller.

I'm not sure about TI calculators, mostly because I loathe them, but I do know that HP calculators, such as the HP48GX, are able to use several different types - UserRPL, SysRPL, ASM, and other such fun things...I've just been too lazy to get around to learning any of the above mentioned languages - in my experience, programming for TIs has been easier than programming for HPs...not that any of this has anything to do with anything, but I just kind of felt like rambling a little...
