After 8 hours of development, I present the Periodic Table for the Evo!
It’s a fully custom and high-performance periodic table app based in MicroPython for the TI-84 Evo calculators. I literally built this because TI half-baked their product launch and forgot about literally every aspect of backwards compatibility! (looking at you, every appvar format ever built for the CE and lower)
What I have:
-A full 118-Element Data array: Complete data for every single element; atomic mass, electron config, electronegativity, density, phase, discovery year, and oxidation states.
-Faithful GUI recreation: I recreated the original TI-84 Plus CE Periodic Table app layout and interface to look and feel exactly like the built-in app (minus the speed, TI really had to lobotomize that)
AI Attribution:
AI tools used: Google Gemini
Scope: Generated almost the entirety of the 118-element dataset (E) as well a debugging partner.
From me: everything else!
Some side notes:
-You might see some strings scattered around in the E array. Those are simply to prevent the calculator from trying to display float inaccuracies that overflow out of the GUI box
-The screen recorder given in TI-Connect Evo is so slow, and my device camera is horrible, so whoopsies :P
-Go and roast TI for their sloppy rushed release!
