Press both simultaneously, while twisting the joystick in a “C” motion, to launch a fireball.
It’s amazing how much better this game looks than a bunch of games that came out years after it.
That’s ki, not fire. 🤓
There sure is a lot of overlap with people criticizing the technical interface of a calculator and nerds, wonder why that is? Oh well glad I’m not one of those nerds, now back to the clear button being so obtuse.
Software engineer: just turn it off and on again.
I am using and loving Solve by Pomegranate Apps. Multiple workspaces and advanced functions available a swipe away. It doesn’t seem to be available anymore, and it looked like the company was hitting hard times when they dumped things like Trump quotes and other shit apps into the store. So, apprehensive to recommend because of weirdness but best calculator ever.
Edit: down arrows barely meant anything on Reddit and they mean literally nothing here. Fuck you and your annoying orange. Peace out, hugs and kisses.
CE is Clear Entry. If you want to hit 2 x 4, but accidentally press 2 x 44, you can press the CE button before pressing = to clear the 44 but not the “2 x” part.
C will clear all of it so you can start over at the beginning.
Pressing CE twice may or may not clear entries in reverse order, depending on you calculator model.
Should be replaced with a backspace icon and a trash can icon
And in my mind “CE” is “Clear everything”. I’m keeping OP’s method
Problem is on some calculators C is clear all and CE is clear entry, on some C is clear entry and AC is clear all, and some have a C/AC or CE/C button where it’s press once to clear entry and press twice to clear all.
So it’s safest to mash unless you really know your calculator, because the industry can’t get its shit together, and that’s the sole reason it died (I’m assuming.)
Thanks I was looking at the answer and thinking it didn’t fit my memory. i’m sure most of mine were ACs. TBF with things like VPAM coming in the late 90s, you did have backspace and all sorts of stuff like that.
I still remember doing linear regression in a stats exam on i think a casio fx-115W something like that . Excellent calculator - but just no, it was time for some things to be on a real computer.
That’s why it never worked for me. I assumed CE was Clear Everything.
Oh my God. Me too!
We three were on the same page.
You mean CE doesnt stand for “clear everything”? And here I thought more letters meant more clearing.
And it all depends on the calculator. The one right next to me only has a CE button and it acts as a C button. So not even the people making them know what they do sometimes.
This person calculates.
But sometimes CE is “Clear Everything” and it works exactly the opposite way.

Shit. I thought it was clear and clear everything. I guess this is why I also push both buttons rapidly and make sure to just retype everything
It’s solar powered so I just wait for night time to clear it then do the next problem in the morning
Mate, you can just put your finger over the solar panel until it slowly gets strangled
I discovered that hitting something like C, CE and 0 simultaneously for some reason worked as an instant power off for my school calculator. Do calculators have such hidden off-buttons? Because I have discovered other calculators with other combinations.
Clearly nobody here does any serious calculator based math
I mostly use matlab
Ive been forced to use it a bit and it has so many weird quirks that are just messed up. Index start at 1. Sometimes u have to assign some function output to a variable before u can pass it as an argument to another function.
I far prefer to use python with numpy matlab and scipy
Let’s be honest, if you are doing serious math, you’ll have a graphing calculator to do way more stuff, and the controls are much more like a mini computer (with a backspace key, and being able to delete individual lines of history, or all of the history with menus)
RPN gang!
Not if ur university has dumb rules about what calculator u can us in exams.
Same energy as me holding Ctrl and pressing S seven times just to make sure.
I don’t think anyone’s ever been punished for saving twice. Right?
This is where people give me examples where people have been prove me wrong. Please I want to know the sadness of others sadness give give sadness. Give give now sadness give
The calculator on my phone has an “AC” button, further confusing the situation.
I think AC stands for All Clear
The AC button cools the air around you.
No, i used it immediately when i was arriving to an answer it heated me up
Oh yeah, that’s for calculating your armor class.
That’s so you can run it off the mains.
C = clear
CE = clear everything
Is that true though? We’ll never know. One of the great mysteries
So it’s not just me who’s wrong! Good good. See you in math hell
I just noticed I don’t have a hardware calculator…
And the software one I remember about is translated.
I do it a bunch of times for the same reason I also CTRL+C a bunch of times when I need to copy on windows.
I mean that I get since it seems to ignore a single ctrl+c on windows regularly.
