The little dinosaur from Chrome's "no internet" screen, running on your calculator instead. Jump the cacti, duck the birds, and see how far you get. No wifi outage required.
How to install it
- Download the game with the button above. You'll get a .tns file, the file type TI-Nspire calculators use.
- Open nspireconnect.ti.com in Chrome on a computer or Chromebook, and plug your calculator in with its charging cable.
- Choose File Transfer, then To Calculator, then From Computer, and pick the .tns file you just downloaded.
- When it lands, the calculator shows a prompt. Choose Open and you're playing.
TI's web app only supports the CX II and CX II CAS. If you have an original CX, or you already use the TI-Nspire Student Software, sending the file through that works the same. The game lives in My Documents afterwards, so you can reopen it any time.
Controls
- tab starts the run.
- tab or enter jumps.
- Click the touchpad to duck under the birds.
Just like the original: it starts slow, speeds up forever, and ends the moment you clip one pixel of cactus.
Why it belongs on a calculator
The Chrome version only appears when your internet dies. This one runs whenever you want, which is objectively an upgrade on the original's business model.
