Why is it impractical or impossible to type in assembly programs?
For one thing, on the TI-82, TI-85, and TI-92, you must modify system memory areas to get the assembly programs to run, so you must send a backup to run the programs in the first place. Thus even if you could type them in, you couldn’t run them, so what would be the point? On the other calculators, it is possible to type in assembly programs, but generally not practical. There are built-in assembly facilities on these calculators that you could use. However, using them requires you to type in every byte of the program (in its hexadecimal representation, since it can include characters hard to find and/or not used in regular programs). This means you must enter 2 hexadecimal digits for each byte of the program, easily running into the thousands or even tens of thousands for most substantial games. And making even a slight error can cause the program to fail completely, likely crashing the calculator. If you think you can enter thousands of digits of hexadecimal numbers with no mistakes,
