No, seriously. Finally, a game that essentially requires a touchscreen to play can now be played on a TI-83 Plus.

And no, my calculator does not have a touchscreen. What it does have is a rather large keypad. Convenient, isn't it? What if you could use that keypad as a sort of touchpad, swiping around in it like it's smooth? That's the idea behind this game.

The video doesn't show the screen very well, so here's an animated GIF for the graphics.

Like what you see? Download the game ) redesign, and this one will stick—I promise.

Along the way, we let go of our site on Blogger, moving all our news and non-news to a new system right here on the new front page. Other pages have also been moved and rearranged: instead of our classic three sections of "Projects," "Tutorials," and "Resources," the rest of the site is now divided into "Products" (the stuff we've finished), "Resources" (same as before), and "Upcoming" (things we're actively working on). Our entire tutorials collection will now count as one of our Resources, and all the other Resources have been moved to top-level directories (taking out the "/resources" in their URLs). The site has even gone mobile—just open up clrhome.org in your phone's browser.

What do you think of the changes? If you have anything to say, please comment below! (Oh, and you can use BBCode in your comments now, too.)
