But can you still play Drug Wars?
Has anyone ever beaten that game? Is it even possible?
No one has beaten The Game, but it is possible. We just need to wait for the Pope to declare that it has come to an end
It’s possible to get to the last day and have a lot of money, which is your “score.” The world leaderboards have some ridiculous highscores on the remake called Dope Wars.

That is a strategy guide.
I have never managed to do it.
I played whatever version was easily accessible on Ubuntu’s repository in 2009, and once managed to get a ton of bitches and effectively infinite money. I have no idea how I did it.
The earliest exponention clicker game I ever discovered. Lost dozens of hours to ti83 drug wars
I used to store formulas in basic programs in my ti84 but they were never useful because I didn’t need help memorizig formulas
I did the same, but it was helpful because I’m terrible at memorization.
I just wrote programs that would solve the complicated multi step problems and show me the work.
“ChatGPT what is the formula for Work Done in an enclosed system expressed as a triple integral?”
“42”
“Ok cool ty.”
Stop giving me Thermo nightmares; I lived through that shit already I don’t need to sleep through it too.
Yeah but at least work on an enclosed system is always zero. Idk why but I always chuckle about that.
Sure, you can prove it in like 4 to 8 lines of multivariate calculus, but its always gonna be 0.
Wat? Does it have wifi?
Yep
Not anymore since it’s spreading news instead of remaining on YouTube
I wonder what can counter this except banning it, or provide calculators to students instead of using their own.
Bring your calculator to the Spanish exam. Trust me, this plan is flawless.
Sounds fake but okay.
It sounds fake because it sounds like they only used software hacks. But they also added a microcontroller board in it with wireless networking
What would happen if now plug in another calculator? AFAIK that only a P2P connection and never meant for >2 parties.
Its been quite a while since I’ve taken a proctored exam, but then all the proctors would clear all the memory on your calc before they’d let you use it for test. Is that not the case anymore?
Depends on the exam. Some don’t even allow programmable calcs because they don’t want to deal with possible shit like this. I have already seen a certification exam where they provide the calculators as well.
The article said it can be download “on demand” so that might make the clearing pointless.
Make people switch devices, problem solved. Does not work without tampering with the hardware
Or use a dongle to lock the calc in test mode, where unlock needs a passcode sent from it.
The launcher program can be downloaded on-demand, avoiding detection if a teacher inspects or clears the calculator’s memory
If I understood it correctly, the Wi-Fi module appears as a standard calculator-to-calculator interface, so built-in commands can install the cheat apps at any time.
This is cool stuff
Utilizing the tools available to you to solve problems is not cheating, its resourcefulness, and using your brain. Which is of course frowned upon in schools that exist to churn out mindless drones for corporate enslavement.
ChatGPT is famously bad at the things you’d use a calculator for though
But you also have a calculator…
