Back in my day, kids used their graphing calculators to play games with boring, vague names like “Snake” and “Brick Breaker.” Not this intrepid student, who programmed his TI-84 Plus graphing calculator to give school kids everywhere a new way to pretend they’re doing work in math class while secretly battling through a homebrew version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
