Are there any websites that tell me what number to put in to create games and stuff?

don't get a Ti-83 plus even though it temping.....get a Ti-86 or Ti-89 cuz they both could do integration. I think the Ti-89 could do double integration too but i'm not sure. but i know for sure both could do integration which is very helpful in calculus class. it cut the work down 99%.

When I said pretty crappy, I was referring more to math capabilies. The TI-86 was developed to be a business math calculator. So, for the most part it is NOT what you want for school. And, yes, they do have Megaman for the TI-86. Bravo, I sure do wish they're port it to the 89. I've played that, and it's good. But, for the most part the 89's games a alot better. Go check out screenshots from ticalc.org. And yes, pheonix is fun, isn't it? They have that for the 89, too, only it's a bit faster and smoother. Also, they have platinum edition, which is prettier and has more options. But, still, if you're a high school student, I'd say the 89 is the best, followed by the 83+. I still wouldn't recommend getting an 86 unless you specifically need it for business math, or just simply the games.

On the other hand though, I know some of my classes dont like you using the Ti-89 and such, because of all those extra things it can do.

Although, you can always get an Emulator for any of these btw, and use it on the computer.

Yeah, that is true. It's so powerful with calculus and stuff, that some places don't let you use it.

Fortunately, our calculus teacher encourages all of her students to get one because of what it can do, and if she feels that we should do something without it's help, she just says, "no calculator on this portion".
