Just a guy programming calculators. Sometimes I make cool things, sometimes I just make things.

What do shells, roguelikes, 3D Github contribution visualization, text editors, and arcade games have in common? They're all featured in our September 2025 Projects of the Month: for graphing calculators and computers: www.cemetech.net/news/2025/11...

Sadly my Shannara product idea has expired, but it's not too late to support Lego Bill & Ted.
Meanwhile, if you enjoy Bill & Ted (or are a Doctor Who fan who wants the next best time traveling phone-booth to a TARDIS), please help me turn @alexwinter.com into a Lego minifigure! We only 10K votes, and it's free/easy to make an account.

2024 ended strong: Cemetechians worked on calculator, computer, and hardware projects in December 2024, from an on-calculator ez80 ASM IDE to math and 3D graphing tools to a TI-84 Plus-turned-art. See them all and vote for your favorite: www.cemetech.net/news/2025/1/...

I recently finished documenting a project to identify handwritten digits directly on the TI-84 Plus CE. Draw digits with a mouse, and in 18 seconds, a CNN running on the ez80 CPU classifies them. Video (excuse the clickbait title): youtu.be/olcZdTRdnQg ; technical details: z80.me/blog/calcula...

I turned this broken TI-84 Plus into some kind of art! I've seen people do this with other tech online and I thought it would be fun to design something myself.

I've completed "Restroom Redoubt" - Day 14 - #AdventOfCode 2024! This was another fun one to visualize, especially part 2!

Finished Day 12 of #AdventOfCode on the TI-84 Plus CE calculator! Had to move the stack to a different RAM location since it wasn't handling the recursion well, but in the end I got it and the visualization looks super cool!

Got stuck on yesterday's #AdventOfCode so I took a break and worked on today's instead (I'll revisit 9 later though). Turns out the bug in my part 1 solution was just the part 2 solution which made it quite easy!

Day 8 of #AdventOfCode was a lot of fun and much faster of a solve (in both writing the program and execution) than yesterday's! Here's another accidental visualization from using VRAM for a map, but this time I didn't bother with changing the palette to something nice and just kept the default

Week 1 of #AdventOfCode 2024 on the TI-84 Plus CE done! Today put my patience to the test, I must've come up with the worst possible algorithm and it took me 7 hours and 45 minutes to run (part 2). Thankfully it worked on the first try, but I'll be a bit more wary of brute force in the future 👀

If you feel like we just posted a Projects of the Month, you're not wrong - but Cemetech's news editors were efficient with November 2024. Projects included games, math tools, a physics simulation, and even a shockingly powerful 3D renderer. November's projects: www.cemetech.net/news/2024/12...
