2026-05-19 03:33:45 <Stalevar    > MrMobius, 39gs, it was only $20 or less on Aliexpress
2026-05-19 04:00:45 <Stalevar    > xentrac, it generated me a $ with walls on all four sides
2026-05-19 04:06:22 <Stalevar    > I mean, it was only programming calculator which I can get for reasonable price, given I don't use it for anything
2026-05-19 04:11:04 <Stalevar    > Also why ! instead of # for wall
2026-05-19 05:20:18 <MrMobius    > Stalevar: nice!
2026-05-19 05:20:46 <Stalevar    > But it doesn't have RPN
2026-05-19 05:20:59 <Stalevar    > Though it turns out I don't even use it anyway
2026-05-19 05:21:05 <MrMobius    > Some of the 39g models were popping up for $20 out of china for a while and they suspected they were produced outside of business hours by the workers
2026-05-19 05:22:06 <MrMobius    > I got a 39gII iirc for free. not that impressed. it crashes when I try to iterate through one of the built in lists. screen is nice though
2026-05-19 05:36:14 <Stalevar    > MrMobius, I also have a much cheaper Chinese calculator CTTTZEN something which also can plot functions, it has formula input (unlike 32gs with linear input by default) and it was 2-3 times cheaper. But no programming. I guess its MCU would be powerful enough but nobody cared
2026-05-19 05:37:11 <Stalevar    > fx-991ES PLUS with fake solar battery
2026-05-19 05:39:14 <MrMobius    > I've seen the ad for those. Is it the one where the plot is only like 1/4 of the screen?
2026-05-19 05:51:07 <Stalevar    > MrMobius, I don't remember how to make it plot and can't find the plot label, but it has integral and differential numeric
2026-05-19 09:10:31 <xentrac     > Stalevar: yeah, I've seen that bug before, and although I know how it happens, I don't know how to fix it without making the code several lines longer
2026-05-19 09:46:55 <Stalevar    > But why not to use # at least, it's obvious
2026-05-19 09:47:21 <Stalevar    > Or maybe even @
2026-05-19 09:49:04 <xentrac     > in Nethack and IIRC also in Rogue # is a hallway, the opposite of a wall
2026-05-19 09:49:17 <xentrac     > while the walls of the hallways are blank spaces
2026-05-19 09:49:29 <xentrac     > I don't think that choice is very obvious
2026-05-19 09:50:10 <xentrac     > I think I might have chosen ! rather than something like + or % because I liked the color better
2026-05-19 09:50:59 <xentrac     > but I'm not really sure
