 Life Point Calculator Program for the TI-83 plus & 84

Wow, it's been a LONG time. I can't remember why I stopped sending in stuff.  Maybe I just got bored. Oh well, I decided to drop this in, see if I could help a few people. Sometimes, paper and a writing utensil just isn't around.  Trying to do it by memory can sometimes result in errors. So, I designed a nice little calculator program to keep track of Life Points! Yay! The program is for graphing calculators. I made mine on a TI-83 plus. It works on the 84, and that's all I know. I'm not sure if other graphing calculators can have custom programs or what, and I don't know anything about other calculators, so don't e-mail me asking about making this program for other calculators. Onward!

Notes: There will be words such as Input or Disp. These words are special, as they are used for programming. You can access these by hitting the PRGM (program) button while making or editing your program. And the colons on each line? Those represent every new line of programming in the program and are not typed while actually making the program. And yes, where you actually type the spaces between...things if it does not automatically provide a space. Other than that, input the characters as shown below. If there is one - symbol, that means use the negative sign. I'm not sure if I use this, but just in case, I'll say it. Two of those, which would look like --, means use the subtract sign. -> means use the Store key. It should be on the left side with "STO" and an arrow pointing right written on it. "</=" or ">/=" means use the version of the symbol with an underline, to signify that it can be equal to. You'll find the greater/less then (or equal to) signs along with the equal to and not equal to signs by pressing "2nd" then "Math" to open the "Test" menu. Also, "=/=" means not equal to, so choose the sign that looks like it.

:Input "MY LP=",X
:Input "OPP. LP=",Y
:Lbl 7
:Disp "MINE",X
:Disp "OPP.",Y
:Pause
:Menu("LP COUNT","I LOSE LP",1,"I GAIN LP",2,"OPP. LOSE LP",4,"OPP. GAIN
LP",3,"SCORE",7)
:Lbl 1
:Input "HOW MANY?",A
:(X--A)->X
:If X>0
:Goto 7
:If X</=0
:Goto 6
:Lbl 2
:Input "HOW MANY?",B
:(X+B)->X
:Goto 7
:Lbl 3
:Input "HOW MANY?",C
:(Y+C)->Y
:Goto 7
:Lbl 4
:Input "HOW MANY?",D
:(Y--D)->Y
:If Y>0
:Goto 7
:If Y</=0
:Goto 5
:Lbl 5
:Disp "I WIN."
:Stop
:Lbl 6
:Disp "YOU WIN."
:Stop

Well, that's it. I find it convenient. So...I guess that's it. I'm not really up-to-date on the newer cards yet, but I still duel. So yeah, I guess e-mail me or somethin'. Who knows? Maybe I'll post some more stuff some time. Like a Top 10 list of cards based on Advance Wars COs and other stuff from Advance Wars. I can see it now. "Von Bolt, one star, Earth, Machine, no attack or defense. Effect: When this card is placed on the field by any means, destroy it instantly, for it has an instant heart attack because Von Bolt is a sucktacular leader. Andy would lead Black Hole better. Then take this card and rip it to pieces." Oh yeah...
