Even though I didn't participate, I'd like to say to all the people who enter the United-TI BASIC Programming Contest that you all put in a teriffic effort—especially considering what a lousy language it is—and a hearty congratulations in advance to the winner (@Jbirk/AlienCC: any idea how long to judge all 54 (!) entries?).
Furthermore, I'd like to offer my condolences to all those who did not receive a secret PM three weeks ago inviting them to participate. However it's because the badgerings of a certain member who shall remain nameless that we had to resort to such unsavory machinations. |

see? you have to resort to assembly! |

Both assembly and BASIC are good languages to know/use, there's no sense saying one is bad/worthless/complicated/slow/whatever. |

Because the deadline was so short as compared to the assembly one (three weeks!) I was barely able to get my entry in. As a result I don't think it was as good. I'm still hopeful though, that last second optimization (I got rid of two sub-programs) helped the speed a bit.
Code:
push soap
pop into_sigma's_mouth
b_call(_ScrubVigourously)
But that won't work, because (a) Sigma probably doesn't care and (b ) it won't compile (you can't put apostrephes in label names  )

Nah, I'll let him search through the immensely long source looking for the error so it can be fixed, or even replaced with the corresponding hex code. I don't think sigma can stop himself from completely redoing unoptimized/crash-waiting-to-happen asm code once he gets the scent. 
Code:
ld (AppsBackUpScreen + 789), a

| More importantly, you can't push or pop constants. I won't even get into the nonexistence of household bcalls... |

@Sir Robin: Now I feel stupid, in pointing out tiny errors I missed obvious ones! (although I don't feel that the non-existant defines count, as one could easily just #define them).
@alexrud: Scent? Sigma goes by the hex... or didn't you know he had an internal z80 compiler smouldered onto his left cerebral cortex that? He automatically compiles, then runs all z80 code he sees on PindurTI (that's the right cortex) and simply fixes the result, then dissassembles it using Duck's program (ran on intel chip he has on his other cortexes  .
Is cortex even a word? It sounds right, but I dunno :P
Oh, and whats the point of the second codebox, I've spotted 1 error (and 1 possible one) so far...?

I just had to join this as soon as I saw it! (Even if I am over a month late!)
Name: SUPER DUPER PUPER SCUPER
prgmSDPS
Code:
:Lbl Q
:"Label Q is for owning some pupe."
:1->dim(LLOADPROG)
:"This makes sure that the LOAD list is made, not to cause errors."
:99->LLOADPROG(1)
:"Sets the saved data to 99."
:"In a later version, you can eat this number."
:If LLOADPROG(1)=fpart(randInt(1,68)
:"This checks if the game has been saved by getting the decimal value of the integer 1 to 68"
:Then
:"OR MAYBE A GIRAFFE."
:Goto 1
:"We all know that 1 is the hottest spot in town. Let's go."
:Else
:"Or maybe not if you are a loser."
:Goto 1
:"YES. WE CAN GO."
:End
:"Ends the 1337."
:Lbl 1
:"HOTTEST SPOT IN THE CITY, FO SHO."
:0->K
:"If I deleted K, it would be 0. This makes it 0, with a much sexier code."
:While K/=/0
:"While K does not equal 0, this will keep going. Like the Energizer Bunny!"
:getKey->K
:"Gets the button you press for Superness."
:End
:"END!"
:randInt(1000,2000)->K
:"Gets a number from 1000 to 2000 which will be used to calculate average data from the square root of pi which is the number of digits in the alphabet causing a great script."
:rand->B
:"A random number is set to B to check for cheating. If you cheat, you die."
:For(A,1,K,B)
:"For a letter, a number, a letter, a letter is the best way to check for cheaters. I heard that's how they encrypt data to send through their LANs."
:End
:"This ends the cheating process."
:Menu("SDPS MENU","Super",RE,"Duper",RE,"Puper",RE,"Scuper",RE)
:"Shows a menu with 1337 choices for optional options."
:Lbl RE
:"YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN DOGGGG"
:Input "How many shoes?",P
:"Gets how many shoes are needed in processing the reply."
:If P=fpart(randInt(27000,4000000000000)
:"What else can I say other then, giraffe."
:Then
:"After this, data processing begins."
:For(A,0,1,.001)
:"For a letter, a number, a number, a number is the data that will be processed."
:End
:"Processing is done."
:Goto Q
:"Q!!!!!!!!!!"
:Else
:"Eek! Maybe not!"
:For(C,0,1,.001)
:"More data processing."
:End
:"Data processing done."
:Menu("Bachingo","Pachonga",AA,"Bumama",AA,"Flippity",AA,"Waffles",AA)
:"Pick your favorite left handed juice drink."
:randInt(100,500)->B
:"Makes B the best choice for calories per meal."
:For(A,0,B)
:"This shorter 3 options for command checks for dangerous animals."
:End
:"If there are some, they are gone."
:Goto Q
:"Go to awesomeness!"
I hope I win. |

Due to the fact that the judges cannot remember who the actual winner is/was, we have a new winner! That's right burrito, step up and take your prize: a picture of a brand new shiny TI-84+ SE:
Anyone besides the winner who downloads this is automatically disqualified. |

I bet it's awesome. What exactly does it do? I was just writing random commands down, since you can't use anything that displays anything other then input..
Edit:
I downloaded it. Don't waste your time, rofl. Where it gets the number from 1000 to 2000, for the for command.. it goes by a decimal.. like maybe .1... it takes so long!
It does.. basicly nothing except ask for how many shoes... Worst piece of code ever... Which is why I win!

prgm 1337 |_|38r 4\/\/350|\/|3 pr0g!!!!!! a.k.a. prog1337 (yes, I know that wouldn't really work)
Code:

disp "4ll j00r c4lc r","83l0ng +0 u5!" //This is a comment that is tediously long. In fact, this is longer than the program itself. Ain't that interesting? ... I'm bored. This sentunce has three erors.
