I want to learn how to make my own games. what do i do to program games? is it done right on the calc. or do you use a computer program to make them? if computer is used where do i download the program to make the games an how do i use it?

Your first step should be to read your manual. Especially the part where it lists all of the BASIC commands, and get familiar with the language. Start off small. Don't try to make an awesome RPG right off the bat. It's cool if you do some of the example programs that is in your manual. They help. Also feel free to look at other people's games. Such as Blackjack, a simple game that you can learn allot from.
So just go at it.

Use that to learn assembly language, a much better way to make games.

Total Posts: 171 | I agree with Zachary940.
However, I want to learn Assembly (for better graphics)
the problem is getting the telemark assembler (TASM) to compile a file

Total Posts: 1111 | I've always thought that it was TAble ASseMbler, since it uses a lookup table of opcodes to assemble things (that's how TI acronyms it in the glossary of their developer's guide). Spasm is also a table assembler, but it's much faster, since the opcodes in Spasm's table are arranged in order of common use. There's probably another reason why it's so fast, but I've never really looked into it.
