You can start by learning BASIC programming for TI calculators! Look for guides online, like 'Programming the TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus' by Christopher R. Mitchell. From there, you can create the Tetris game logic and display the tetriminos using the calculator's graphics functions. Good luck!

Pro tip: Break the game down into steps: First, create the game grid, then handle tetrimino movement, and finally implement line clearing and increasing difficulty. Patience is key!

I've done this before! Make sure you use loops for falling blocks and conditionals to check for collisions. Create a subroutine for drawing the pieces on the screen, and you're halfway there.
