Chew's Ti-84 Programs is a collection of games and programs developed by Chew for the Ti-84 plus series of calculators. Programs ranged from utilities for school to "games," more designed to be time killers. Programs were developed and published to Chew's Ti-84 Programs Website between November 2016 and November 2018. The GitHub repository currently has 10 stars, which is Chew's 3rd most starred source repository. Programs can be downloaded from ti84.chew.pw.

Programs

Chew developed several programs, but only 9 programs ultimately got released publicly. Of these, 4 were "games" and 5 were "utilities". All programs were documented on the site, which variables would be used, and a brief change-log.

8ball

8ball (on the calculator, "EBALL"), is a basic 8-ball that generates yes/no/maybe responses. Unlike most 8-balls, there is only one response for each type, "YES", "NO", and "ASK AGAIN LATER".

AllVars

AllVars is a simple program to list the value of all letter variables. In addition, it also showed stats, like the sum, and which variables equaled zero.

BossBattle

Boss Battle was a simple proof-of-concept with a way to "fight" a boss. There was only attacking, and it was almost impossible to lose. There were plans to make a full-fledged RPG with this mechanic, but it never came to fruition.

Guess The Number

Guess the Number is a simple number-guessing game. The program generates a random number, and it's up to you to get it right. It also has stats to track your progress.

Lucky Cubes

Lucky Cubes is the most developed of any of the programs, and is the closest to a "game" in the collection. It has features, such as opening cubes, buying them, buying mercenaries to find more coins for you, and options to configure the game. It had two major updates to implement several reworks.

Math Utilities

Math Utilities is a simple math program with basic math functionality, such as finding slope, distance between two points, the midpoint, and point-slope form formula generator.

Set Fix

Set Fix is an extremely primitive program that sets the "fix" point for decimals outputted by the calculator.

Timer

Timer is the most recent addition to the collection and is merely a fully functional timer for the calculator. There was planned to be a 1.1 release, but it got deleted accidentally due to calculator errors.
