Total Posts: 2486 | first of all, what language are you interested in, basic or assembly? second, do you have any programming background already? answer those and i'll try to suggest you some good tutorial places. there have also been quite a few tutorial site links posted on this forum, you may want to run a search as well.

The manual of a calculator is very good instructor of how to code in basic, even without programming experience. |

Total Posts: 2486 | I'd also suggest you start with a calculator manual. It'll provide you with easy step by step guide to write your first basic programs and will also take you a little more advanced programs like a Guess game. You can access the online version of the manual HERE.
Once you get the hang of the basics, you might want to head to THIS site, it's called Basic Guru and will provide you with more advanced tutorials and examples.
Please try those. People on this forum will help answering your questions ONCE you learn some ti basic. It is however not likely that anyone will write code for you. But like I said, we'll be happy to point you in the right directions but you'll have to learn yourself. Alright?

Stranded, let me point out to you a few of the major differences between Assembly programming and TI-BASIC programming:
1. Assembly programs are edited/written on the computer, whereas BASIC programs are written/edited on your calculator.
2. Assembly programs are written in assembly programming language and BASIC programs are written in TI-BASIC programming language.
3. Assembly programs run faster and can do more and better things.
4. Assembly language is waaaaaay harder to learn
Your brain before programming in assembly: :)
Your brain while programming in assembly: :dead:
EDIT: LERN TWO SPEL!!!

Total Posts: 1676 | the best way to learn how to program is to first look at the basics of the basic language, which you have already done. Now it's time for you to practice. Just start making a program and see what it does. If you can't make it work, download another basic program to your calculator that does a similar thing and look at it in the program editor on your calculator. Look and see what functions and stuff they used to make something happen. Then change something in their program and see what the effect is.
Just keep programming and eventually something will have to work.
that's the best way to learn. Now if you need a reference, then go to a tutorial or something, but you can't memorize the guide book (not until after you've programmed a lot, otherwise it's hard to understand what it's talking about) -- you have to know what you need.

Total Posts: 1676 | if you go to the page the program is on it will have a "Category" bar on the top... just under it it will either say "Assembly" or "BASIC" (or "Flash").
If you go to TI's website and look around (products-ti connect-download-"Are you looking for TI Graph Link software?) you can download TI-Graph Link, which is the previous connectivity software used to connect to calculators.... there is a program editor in it that you can view programs on before you get your TI-Connect cable (and software, you cannot use graph link with a USB cable).

1. if it runs fast, it's most likely in assembly :)
2. if you can edit it on your calc, its BASIC. |

Total Posts: 1676 | well stranded, if it asks you to sign in and create an account, then you should do it.
I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but a lot of these questions you're asking can be easily answered by looking around a bit more.
That said I'm still more than happy to answer your questions, it would just be faster and easier for yourself if you figured a few things out on your own.

Heh, ok sorry but I am really excited about this programing thing.
I found a really great site. It explains BASIC programming that starters can understand easly. The web site is
http://odin.prohosting.com/mjs2k/tutorials/index.htm
This will likely be most helpful to starters then have no programing exp. But there is also information about higher level programing such as ASSEMBLE.
Now that I read part 1 and 2 of BASIC programing i am starting on my own adventure game.(Menu Game) |

Total Posts: 2007 | A couple of things:
1.don't post the same thing on two different topics stranded, it is extraneous and uneccessary.
2.It's assembly (Y on the end, not E). not that it matters, it just makes you sound a little wierd if you say assemble instead of assembly
3.TI-BASIC is always all in caps, while assembly doesn't have to be.
4.You might want to read all parts of that tutorial before you jump into making a game...usually helps to finish learning something before you do it, but it's great you're excited.
5.When you make your game, make sure it has tons of options, it is bug-free, and a little bit of graphics wouldn't hurt either ;). |
