Summary:

I wanted to type some prewritten basic code, but it has a weird smallcaps L in it.

What's ʟ and how do I type it on my TI-83? (and 89)

I would bet a few other noobs have asked this before, but I can't find any other instance of this question.

I found a snake clone on this website a little while ago and something about it caught my eye.
For some reason, it has a weird smallcaps L in it. (ʟ)
I did some research and it reveals itself to be a character called "List Capital L"

The code is right here:

:26→K
:1.1→B
:{4Ans→A
:ClrHome
:For(A,1,ᴇ2
:randInt(1,16)+.1randInt(1,8→C
:Repeat C=Ans(1
:A→dim(ʟA
:ʟA(1
:Output(10fPart(Ans),int(Ans),"O
:Output(10fPart(B),int(B)," //1 space
:Output(10fPart(C),int(C),"*
:getKey
:If Ans=45
:Goto 0
:If Ans=34 or 2>abs(Ans-25
:Ans→K
:ʟA(A→B
:ʟA(1)+(K=26)-(K=24)+.1((K=34)-(K=25
:If max(ʟA=Ans
:Goto 0
:Ans+16(not(int(Ans))-(17=int(Ans)))+.8(not(fPart(Ans))-(.9=fPart(Ans
:augment({Ans},ʟA→A
:End
:augment(Ans,{Ans(A→A
:End
:Lbl 0
:ClrHome
:A

_{seems to be a little short for a snake clone, or is that just me?}

One more thing, I would like to know how to do it on my TI-89 as well. just in case.

It is the list icon for creating or referencing a custom named list; It should be available under [2nd] [Stat] [>] [^]

That is because the game is designed to be optimized and as short as possible.
