How does your game fit the theme?
It's a bad idea because it's a little against the rules, and it's out of the box because... well, it's made for a calculator and not your PC.

I just realised that nowhere in the rules it’s specified that your game needs to be an .exe file, so your game technically is totally within the rules and valid!
However, I don’t own the TI-series calculator – they don’t sell those in my country – and I had to download an emulator. At first it was quite frustrating because I was using WabbitEmu, which I don’t think supports the calculator version for this game, but I thought it was a problem with the config, and CEmu didn’t work with the ROMs Wabbit made, but when I finally found a proper ROM for the TI-84 Plus CE then it was easy to run the game in CEmu.
IDK what I was expecting but it turned out just to be a regular snake game XD, but if it weren’t by this, I would have never known there existed a community making software for these calculators, something very nerdy and niche, yes, but for me that’s also like the coolest thing ever lol
I'm really glad you think it's cool lol, but yeah I could've totally done more with the time frame I had. I'm glad you also discovered the whole scene for calc dev (short for calculator btw). Check out cemetech.net!
HEy! I'm a calculator dev and flipped out when i saw this! it's so cool! if you havent already, look into TiBOY, Cemetech.net, and ticalc.org. Cool Idea!
Hello fellow calc dev (short for calculator btw). I used to be on cemetech.net back in the day actually haha. My first actual play-through of Link's Awaking was via TiBOY.
No way me too!! I love links awakening and I beat it in my freshman theater class
I gotta say, pretty unique interpretation of the theme however it did work on my calc (short for calculator btw) so 10/10
Thanks! (W ball knowledge btw)
Weird way of interpreting the prompt but I lowkey dig it a bit, might have to bust out my old calc 😂
I know lol. I wanted my interpretation to be as unique as possible. I could've definitely put more time into the actual game, and implemented the theme in it too.
