Description
That's right folks, I drew a labyrinth on the calculator in the process of avoiding my college precalc homework
New updated picture with better quality!
I used the "2nd > Draw > Pen" function for this on my TI-83 Plus calculator and I turned off the coordinate system and the axis.
Other pieces of calculator art that I have done:

I use the "2nd > Draw > Pen" function for this on my TI-83 Plus calculator. I also turned off the coordinate system and the axis to clear the screen. I messed up a few times to start so the only way to remedy that is to erase everything and to start all over again.

-goes to get her TI-84 Plus and hopes she can do that too
I don't have a draw button ):

The "DRAW" button is the same button as "PRGM".
The "DRAW" menu is accessed by pressing the "2ND" button first and then pressing the "PRGM" button second.
Try that and see if it works

I must say I have not played with my calculators enough! Now I basically use MATLAB 
There's a very pleasing quasi-symmetry to this

haha I play with my calculator too often XD My roommate uses MATLAB and just made a 3D contour map of the mountains in his area, accurate to boxes of 100' square. it was pretty sweet looking when he was done.
thanks for the compliment on the calc color too! I dont think they make colored ones anymore...at least not like this one. This one is see through blue so you can see the components on the inside of the calc. Other colors I have seen are orange see-through, green see-through, and for the silver edition ones, they had silver see-through ones as well. But I've only seen maybe 2 other blue ones besides mine.

Oooh, 3D contour with MATLAB sounds awesome. I mostly do numerics with N-dimensional matrices (N = large number)... not as visually exciting, oh well.
I don't see much color customization nowadays either... there was a green one and a blue one, not sure if I saw a red one? Sony sells colorful rubber laptop keyboard covers, I might get one to prevent keyboard accidents.

Oh yes...N...Im so glad that i never have to take another math class ever again lol. I stopped at college calc, and then I took two engineering classes...now i am officially done with math! yay!
haha ive seen those keyboard covers too. i just hate typing on rubber XD

I know it right?! If you look at in full view, it get's a bit better as the lines become further apart

I know! I tried to do it a few times, but kept failing! XD
Such a good little labyrinth!

I'm personally surprised that it fit so perfectly in the screen. that never happens
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm surprised you were able to do something so complicated! I used to try to do stuff like that on a calculator like that, but It never worked for me! That makes you awesome, mate!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well at least you have tried to do something like that before. I know that I drew this out on graph paper before putting it on the calculator which made it easier, but I still screwed up a bunch of times lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, that probably would have made things easier, drawing it before hand

I love 'draw' on my calculator! I made a cowboy that actually moved his lasso in a circle! I learned next to nothing in class that day. ^-^

hahaha that always happens to me. I just hate that you can't erase a certain pixel and that you have to start all over again!

Haha, I did a house with a garden on mine last year

Thanks! ohhh did you get to see my house drawing on the calculator?!

Some of the most creative things come out of procrastinating
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha gotta love it! I know that if I try to write a paper a week before it's due, I wont have any good ideas, but if I start writing it 2 hours before class, I'll somehow get an A. lol just my luck, soo I consider procrastinating a good thing

It's the same thing for me, I work best under pressure
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's amazing what that kind of pressure can make you do. I love it

oh really, what kind of things do you draw in yours?

if i can find the picture i'll definitely put it up here!!!! the best one is of a man with an arrow through his head XD

that would be awesome! I definitely want to check that out

Sweet!! How did you find this particular deviation?

idr o_o i think its cause i liked your rubix cube icon xD

aww thanks!!! actually my girlfriend at the time (no longer) made that for me. Im still really great friends with her though. If you appreciate art, you would LOVE her drawings, shes amazing

yes I did draw this and thank you very much, i actually needed a piece of graph paper to help start this

You're welcome.

Heyy, thanks for the compliment!! I'm so new to the lingo that I couldn't figure out what case mod was for the longest time hahaha ==> Newb. Well at least I get it now

Lol!!
No problem

Wow. I'm totally amazed by this. How long did this take? It's so great.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much
It took me about...3 hours I'm thinking and about 5 start overs because I kept on messing up lol. But this one came out good and I felt like a really accomplished geek afterwards too, going around to everyone saying, "hey! look at what I did on the calculator!!"

3 hours? Wow. I remember trying to draw things on my calculator. I would just give up after messing up. I hate how things can't be undone.
If I made something as awesome as this, my inner nerd would be showing it off until the end of days. Well at least until I accidently delete it that is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha I hate how you can't undo things too! That's why it takes a while to get it. Actually I ended up drawing this out on graph paper to so I wouldn't have to guess and redo it so many times.
But the good news is that if you do create something awesome, you can save it in the memory of the calculator so you'll never lose it!
[2nd]+[DRAW] Draw Menu
[<] Sto Menu
[ENTER] 1:StorePic
and then just save it to some number and when you want to see it again, go to the same place except instead of doing a 1:StorePic, do a 2:RecallPic and type in the number and bada-bing bada-boom, up comes your picture!

The graph paper is a smart idea. I need to try that out.
I had no idea that an image could be saved. I must try this out. Thanks for the instructions.

If you want to see another drawing that I've done on my calculator, you can find it at this [link] I also saved this one to my calculator too. Fun stuff. Hopefully you get inspired to do different kinds of drawings.
