I pay attention in math class, but only because I have to (I already understand just about everything my teacher has to teach, but I can't play calculator games because I'm always in direct view of the teacher, who doesn't like it when I or anybody else uses a calculator during notes). Basically, I play during my free periods. I was actually planning to write it in ASM (because then I could archive it because the file would probably be big), but because I don't know how to write in ASM or decrypt the ROM file of the game (just to get a start/idea), I can't write the program. For example, I wouldn't know how to put an experience gaining system or health system (both for 4 characters seperately) in the game for the calc. Could I decrypt the ROM file with C++?

I know that emulators decrpyt ROM files, but how could I put those possibilities into a calculator? And how could I add sound (yes, TI calculators have sound, kind of like piezzo buzzer, and I only know of two games for TI calculators that have sound)?
