TI-86 (and TI-85) Programs
The TI-86 is a type of calculator that allows you to actually graph equations and execute other functions that would be impossible on normal scientific calculators. It is similar to a computer in some respects and for that reason has the capability of running assembly language-based programs. These programs make full use of the Z80 processor chip. Below is a list of programs that I have found useful and/or fun for my graphing calculator. You DO need a graph link cable of some type to transfer these files from your computer to the calculator.TI-86 Programs written by others
Please note that none of these programs were written by myself, and that I am in no way attempting to take credit away from their respective authors. To run them, you can either get AShell Enhanced, or type "Asm(progname)" at the prompt on your calculator.
AShell Enhanced v1.0 (2.88 kB) - The best over-all shell for your TI-86. Allows users to run TI-85 ZShell, USGuard, and TI-82 Ash and crASH programs.
Chem86 (6.44kB) - Excellent program for any student taking a chemistry-related class. Comes with numerous features such as: ability to display information about each element, compute weights of compounds, and the ability to determine types of bonds.
Elements v2.0 (5.70kB) - Awesome Periodic Table of Elements! Shows entire table, allows you to search for an element by name, atomic number, or symbol. A must have for Chem students!
Electron Configuration (2.69kB) - Great for Chem students...displays electron configuration for almost all elements including the noble gasses.
zFactor (6.19kB) - Extremely useful...returns all positive factors of a number.
Extremely useful...returns all positive factors of a number.
Quadratic Solver (1.79kB) - Solve any Quadratic equation! Returns solutions in lowest terms, including imaginary numbers. Great for Algebra I & II!
zReduce (302B) - Reduces the radical under the square root sign. Very useful.
Frogger v1.0 (2.84kB) - Get the frog across the highway and roaring river numerous times and beat a level. Becomes progressively harder as you move on.
PacMan 99 (4.37kB) - PacMan for the TI-86. Greatly improved over 98. High scores are saved, TONS of levels, not to mention the ability to save your game right where you left off! Definitely get this one.
Plain Jump v1.1 (5.01kB) - My personal favorite! Roll the marble across many platforms at high speed. I scored 20,153 points. Care to try and top that? if you do, email me!
Sqrxz v0.9b (???kB) - ***The Absolute BEST Game For Your Graphing Calculator!*** If you're looking for a game, this is it! Just like Mario Brothers, but better! You can also download additional levels to play with!
DuckHunt 86z (3.10kB) - Yes, it is DuckHunt! Just like the one for Nintendo! Very interesting, and somewhat challenging. Gets boring after beating it repeatedly, however.
zTetris v1.1 (3.47kB) - Fun Tetris game for the TI-86. I personally don't like tetris too much, but if I did, this would be the game to have!
Kollums v2.0 (2.25kB) - Another addictive Tetris-like game. I like it more than tetris, actually. Line up three of the same kind of symbol and they dissolve!
Turbo Breakout II (2.68kB) - Use the paddle to bounce the ball into the bricks, destroying them. Even though the ball tends to speed up for no apparent reason, it's fun to play!
Znibbles (2.12kB) - Nibbles for the TI-86. Not as many functions as the one for the TI-85, but it allows you to have more than one life.
Solytare v2.1 (2.19kB) - Solitaire for your TI-86! Yes, that's correct, a fully functional solitaire game with mouse and all! Great graphics, allows you to draw 1 or 3 cards at a time.
Insane Game v2.72 (2.69kB) - Interesting puzzle-like game. Has single player, multi, and action modes. Addictive.
Maze-3D v.4b (6.10kB) - This game is excellent! Never did I once think it possible to make a 3-D rendered maze on a TI-86!
Super Mario Brothers v0.91 (???kB) - Amazing graphics. Grayscale, almost identical to original version for nintendo. Get it!
