The TI-83 has no sound, and not much in the way of software, so it's just a calculator.
Not really true. People have known how to get sound out of the thing for ages through the link port. If you don't have the right plug, you can get the sound of it by holding it up to an AM radio. Lately someone even made a Gameboy emulator for it by exploiting how similar the CPUs are.
I'm guessing you're using parametric or polar modes in the later images, btw?

Do you know if there is any kind of community/gallery about that kind of art/graphics?. I was looking for them and didn't find anything, but im sure there is some kind of underground art made with calculators and old cellphones. If you know any plz let me know.

You can hand draw pictures on the 84. You could even store them and write a quick program to swap between similar pictures so you could simulate a shade of grey

Yeah, pretty cool, eh?
I saw the specs of it on Wikipedia after I grabbed this thing from the dump, and I heard it was a pretty neato device.
I saw some dude on YT run Pokemon Blue on it, but described it as laggy and glitchy. But I haven't got a link cable, so I'm not able to flash programs and stuff.
Also, barely anyone in Australia has a TI calculator; our schools recommend Casio fx-82 series calcs, so nobody I know would have a cable

Really? Neat!
I didn't get a link cable for it, though; my dad just found it at the dump.

Awesome! Any idea on how to do this? The 83+ might have something similar (hopefully).

It's just a name.

I'd have to look at my old 83 but I believe it's called point on or pt_on(). You can enter an empty graph and use that to draw. Then use sto->pic1 or something along those lines. When you store 2 pics you can write a simple program with a for or Do loop that calls and then clears each picture. It's been 10 years since I used an 83 though lol. I'll check the old manual later

Its like 2nd program, and then the last on the menu where it says draw. You can draw with the arrow keys and the enter button. Exciting!

Okay, so I'm going off a manual and old knowledge but after drawing you want StorePic Pic0 and then edit it where you would want a shade by blacking out that area and then StorePic Pic1. Next create a program with a for or while loop or a goto loop.
A for loop would look something like this //starting at 0 incrementing by 1 till 100 is reached
For(A,0,100,1)
ClrDraw
RecallPic Pic0
RecallPic Pic1
End
You could also try inserting ClrDraw inbetween the recalls to see the effect. Or just store the pics and export to your PC with the PC link cable.
