I did basically all those things, or very similar things, in TI-BASIC back in high school. I didn't care that they had already been done countless times; I had a blast figuring out how to make them work.
I dearly wish more people would try making basic programs that are 100% their own creation, even if it's some random string generator. It's more rewarding than they might think!
Same here. I missed the lecture of many math classes figuring out basic on my ti84+. I mostly wrote simple games. The calculator made it easy to experiment since all the functionality could be found in menus or a button somewhere.
Yep, same! It's probably a good thing that I didn't know the first thing about Z80 assembly or I'd have flunked hard 😂 I would have loved to make my own clone of Phoenix!
