Edit | Um, have you guys made something other than a few basic (not the language) math programs? Why would someone want to join this group? I'm curious. |

Total Posts: 5 | Very good question. We have come across similar questions on the United-TI border.
We know we haven't programmed much. We are currently "dipping our feet in the TI-BASIC water" and are getting a professional handle on the language. We will, in the future, be coming out with what we consider to be excellent or even groundbreaking programs. We're not great now, but we learn fast and should progress speedily. When we shatter this community with suprise, you'll want to be with us for it.
Also, even if you don't believe us (and it's my policy not to lie), everyone so far has seemed eager to support new groups, such as ours. We think that anyone who submits an entry will be contributing to the dawn of a new age in the TI Community.
UPDATE: We will now accept any 68k program using the TI-BASIC for that calculator, ASM, or C compiled with TIGCC. If you program for 68k’s, please be sure to include a VERY DESCRIPTIVE readme as we do not use these calculators, and will be testing them on an emulator. |

Edit | Oh, new groups are fantastic, but it's kind of iffy to start one without a solid programming background. If you're just learning, a group can help you get off to a fresh start. However, I'm just saying, don't expect a bunch of elite programmers (I'm not one!) to line up to join your site.
Good luck anyways, though. The site looks pretty nice. |

Total Posts: 5 | I totally understand. We are really asking for support and asking some dedicated, even novice programmers to join us. Other people disagree, but we have a feeling that we are going to come out with some great stuff.
And our site is currently not working, bear with us. |
