As always, there were many great projects worked on back in February. Be sure to check them out and give the authors your feedback!
- Binary Grid for the TI-83+ series: Jeffitus started work on his TI_Basic game Binary Grid, where the player must mentally convert decimal numbers to binary. The game works on all 83/84+ models due to its use of the homescreen, so go check it out!
- BOSshell for the TI-84+CE dev thread: beckadamtheinventor continued work on his shell in ICE for the TI-84 Plus CE. This month he began working on BOSshell version 5, as well as BOS-BASIC, an interpreted language to go along with the shell. This shell looks very promising, so go ahead and try out the latest version!
- DVD Screensaver [TI-84 Plus CE] [ICE]: TheLastMillennial wrote a DVD screensaver in ICE for the TI-84 Plus CE. Now you can remember the days of bouncing DVD logos by watching this one almost hit the corners! There is even a small Easter egg, and the source code is included in the download linked in the thread, so go visit it to download this program for yourself.
- Fruit Ninja CE [C]: Michael2_3B resumed work on his graphically impressive port of the popular mobile game Fruit Ninja! This month he was hard at work on the menus for the game. This game does look truly amazing so far, so go show him some some support in the topic!

- JPL: A game for Color and Monochrome calcs!: TheLastMillennial began the process of porting his spaceship game to the HP Prime, using the powerful interpreted language PPL. The game seems to run quite fast based on the screenshots, and the game's source is hosted on GitHub, so go check it out!
- Lumber Tycoon - My first C game: slimeenergy started and finished this simple game written in C for the CE. In the game, you continually chop down trees, sell the wood, and buy new axes.

- Nuclear Reactor Simulator [84+CE BASIC]: SM84CE continued refining his TI-Basic program for the CE.

- Pyscheron - A rebuild of E:ToR: Iambian announced his port of the unfinished monochrome calculator game Escheron: Twilight over Ragnoth. The port is written in Python, and the graphics look like they came straight from an old TI-83+! Go check out the thread for more info and to see screenshots.

- [84+ CE TI-Basic] Typing-based calculator: ShinyGardevoir began work on an ambitious project, a program that allows the user to type in expressions, rather than having to use the dedicated buttons on the calculator. Aside from this, there are also plans to add more functions not built in to the TI-OS. Check out the thread for screenshots and to see how the project is coming along.
