Calculator version of Super Smash Bros. makes math class less of a drag

[Shawn Knight]

One of the few enjoyable things about math class was the calculator. No, I don’t mean actually solving problems with it but rather loading games on it. Titles like Snake and Pong were extremely simplistic in nature but often enough to get through a boring class. Nowadays, kids have more advanced titles like Super Smash Bros. to work with.

The game was created by Omnimaga programming forum user Hayleia and is said to be a code clone of Super Smash Bros. Melee for Nintendo’s GameCube. It’s compatible with TI-83/84 calculators although those with a bit of coding knowledge can tweak it to run on different systems and even add new characters to the game.

Those interested in giving it a shot can download it from the Omnimaga forum.

When I was at school calculators were banned in the classroom, they weren't ultra portable due to their thickness nor were they very sophisticated, we were allowed to use a slide rule instead.

I doth protest the premise that math class is a drag. I'll whip out my calculator for English and History though.
