I know it's easy for me to say, as I'm not in the position to get sued, but
I'd do it anyway.  If you're making the game for a graphing calculator,
you're distributing it for free, and (I assume) you're a minor it will be
quite hard for a jury to hand down any sort of settlement.  Yes, you are
breaking the law, but I would be very surprised if you had to pay more then
$5.  Besides, if you wouldn't have told NOA they probably wouldn't have
found out.  I doubt the're surfing the TI websites for a completed game and
if you produce it they may never realise that it's there.  I admire you're
honesty, but next time you want to rip off a product from corporate america
I wouldn't tell them first.
