Welcome aboard!

[Krtyski]

Thanks, flyingfisch

I will go to "Your Project". Now I've just posted other article.

[Krtyski]

Nice to meet you, Krtyski!

I'm looking forward to seeing your BASIC games.

I wanted to know capability of fx-5800P by making action game then I made "Whack-A-Mole". a very traditional game.

I will make a post at "Your Project" about "Whack-A-Mole", one of games I made. I will probably delete articles about the game later, so let me leave this post.

Anyway, I was in US (Santa Barbara and LA) for business in later November and I drove by Best Buy or Fry's every day. it's very pity I did not have a chance to drop by those to check the price of fx-cg10, fx-9860G II, those recent Casio graphing calculators plus those options. Maybe next chance at my next trip to US!

Actually those are expensive in Japan compared with in US. Japan version of fx-cg10 is fx-cg20 (i guess) which costs about 180USD. Also fx-115es plus is fx995es in Japan. Fx-115 plus has verification mode but fx-995ES a latest model in Japan does not have the feature (all other features look same), but the fx-995ES is much more exoensive, about 30USD (in Japan). As you see, Casio's most important market is apparently in North America, not in Japan. You cannot buy many models of calculator in Japan which are sold in US.

For Casio fans, ironically Japan is not the best place to live, lack of models, lack of useful information. So I I'm very much happy I found UCF.

Wow, I didn't realize how expensive calculators were in Japan. I saw an fx-CG-10 at Wal-Mart the other day for 100USD. Have you tried buying from eBay?

[Krtyski]

Wal-Mart is so good place to buy, I'll try next time of my visit at US.
Yes, I did check eBay it's about 80USD excluding international shipping cost. Using some exporting service, the total is around 100USD or more. All Casio calcs are made in China, so USD-RMB rate is maybe very good to USD... sigh

[MarkCP400]

Hello everyone.

I'm Mark, 40 Mech Engineer

Hobbies/interests, mathematics, mathematic phylosophy, and fish keeping.

Just made the switch from my TiNspire cas to the Casio Classpad 2 cp400, decided to try casio after years of only using TI`s because of TI`s annoying 1 use licence.
Things are a little different on the casio but tbh i find it quite intuitive to use, wish id swapped sooner.

[flyingfisch]

Hi Mark, nice to meet you.

Hope you find this community helpful for everything you need help with.

[MagneticDuck]

Oh huh, a casio calculator forum? What's up with this! Sounds cool! Hey FlyingFisch! I'm that crazy guy on the afternet #casiocalc channel.

Name(optional): MagneticDuck (Chris Gadzinski)

Birthday: Sometime during March in 1998 (what are you going to send me a birthday card )

Age: 15

Hobbies: Programming, listening to music, thinking about music, composing (electronic) music, playing music, rowing, doing math, having existential angst, appreciating keyboards, typing, having fast fingers, playing teeworlds, did I mention programming?, looking out of windows in tall buildings, learning portugese, writing english, spending time on IRC talking to myself, learning about things, having revelations about how many things there are to learn about, feeling small, thinking about myself, feeling amazing / bewildered thinking about the universe and all the things in it, writing really long "interest lists", telling people how uncreative they are for writing such short interest lists! (Wow you guys have such small interest lists)

Interests: Wait, there is a difference between interests and hobbies? Like, hobbies are things that you do and interests are things that you'd like to do? Well, I try to do everything I'd like to do, so there isn't a huge difference between my interests and my hobbies. As a result, it seems like I don't end up doing a whole lot

https://www.youtube....h?v=dipFMJckZOM <-- this is obviously the best piece of music ever *sniff*


Did I mention I type fast? It's true!

Edit:

Where I got my user name: Well, ducks are awesome, and so are magnets. It probably has some sort of meaning, but I'm not sure if I understand it yet.
Seriously, where I got my user name: I like ducks (used to have ducks as pets on our..farm) and I picked this name initially for my flickr account to post images of things I made with small magnetic balls (www.zenmagnets.com). I still do that, but I don't make pictures anymore; however, the name stuck.

I signed up to this forum to discuss casio calculator hacking and to get to know the other people here . I have a Casio FX-85ES (which has been hacked many times by me :3) and a Casio FX-83GT Plus which isnt hackable because casio fixed the exploit in the new rom

[ProgrammerNerd]

Hello everyone. There is a chance that you are already familiar with me. As you can tell by my username I am ProgrammerNerd. Already I am registered on cemetech omnimaga and casiopeia and after finding out about this message board recently I decided to join. I hope I did not give the apperence of me spamming my projects on another forum or anything like that.

 

Hobbies: Programming for lots of platforms be it computers, microcontrollers, calcualtors, Electronics. I enjoy writting code that runs fast. I also enjoy proving that TI calculators are inferior to other brands such as Casio. I have programmed for the PC in C and C++. The casio Prizm again in C and C++. The AVR in C and some assembly platforms include Arduino Uno and Arduino mega and just an AVR on a breadboard. Some MSP430 microcontrollers in assembly. Stm32f4discovery board. I also enjoy mesaing around with camera modules. The sega genesis in Basic, C and assembly. The NES in assembly.

Interests: See hobies. I also will note that I enjoy math and science and I find procedural graphings and sound to be intresting.

Where you got your username: The relaity is that I did not get my username from anywhere. I made it up myself and by "I make it up myself" I mean it was just some quick thinking. I did not sit all day long staring at a peice of paper in hopes of coming up with a really great username. Had I to make an explination for my username I would say that it is due to the fact that my "Nerdiness" extends primarly to programming. I do not collect comics I do not watch much television  I refuse to watch anime. You get the point. I do however not get angry when I hear about people who do those things. I would not be the one who would yell nerds at someone for doing said things.

[flyingfisch]

Hi ProgrammerNerd, welcome to UCF

 

our posting didn't look spammy, we always welcome new projects

 

 

I'm kind of like you, I hate anime and MLP, and I don't even read comic books.

 

Also, feel free to join #casiocalc on afternet or use the chat widget at the top of the page if you want to chat

[p4nix]

Hi!

Time to introduce myself I guess

 

Well, I don't think my birthday is that important, but anyway I am 15 years old at the moment (10.10.14)

I have a lot of hobbies, and of them is programming my calc, otherwise I won't be here!
I'm interested in C, and I can understand some other languages too, but I won't call myself

an expert if it comes to programming.
 

Oh, and I got my username from the release group 'Razor 1911' and I use it in some online games.

(I like demos+chiptunes very much :3)

 

OK, I'm ready!

[flyingfisch]

Welcome to UCF!

 

You wouldn't happen to know any haskell?

[p4nix]

I even had to google to find out what exactly 'haskell' is

No, sorry!

[flyingfisch]

That's ok, I was just curious, since I am trying to learn it
