'a gently used TI-83+ Blue..."
hmm i could use another 83+... I guess it has to be used as I don't think they are produced any longer, any of the 83+ family?

A couple minor scuff marks is all. I think for a contest prize it works well. :)

I think they are still available to some stores, depending on where you go...

If you are near a college town, I would recommend hitting up pawn shops in that area, can sometimes find them there for cheap ;)

I would sign up for this except they only allow game programs. I'm working on a math program right now, but it won't qualify because it's not a game.They should make a contest for math programs!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You can't enter works in progress! I am making a drawing program called Paintbox and I am almost done, all I have to do is finish the airbrush tool...
Although, I am not sure it would qualify as a game...
See my bio.

Of course not. Why would you? I certainly wouldn't.

Anyway, fire off 8 randInt(0,1) calls, and start at one of the points and draw or not draw dots as necessary.
