It is somewhat slow to type in Basic, and you have no access to special characters, so....

Wouldn't it be nice if somebody were to make a simple computer program that would convert a text file into a basic program? this way, you could type up your program QUICKLY, and use all of the hidden characters on the calc. The conversion is simple enough, there are sources on it everywhere!!

Try TI Graph Link

it still needs developing for those who have the silver Graphlink cable. TI Graph Link is inconpatible with the silver cable. thats what i have, and i would find basic programing and editing much easier and less time consuming if a computer program were written to write and edit BASIC programs specifically for the silver graphlink cables.

save the graphlink prog as a prog and send with the silverlink, i do it all the time.

about using the hidden characters of the ti calculators, there are many assembly programs in the ti-calc archive that enable u to use them.

HEY PEOPLE! I have another idea...

We should make a group of people to design a COMPLETE 3D tutorial for 3D graphics and mechanics. I KNOW some already exist, but NONE of them are complete or explain enough to do solid figures or anything.

email me at shkaboinka@yahoo.com

We should get a group of people together to write the most COMPLETE tutorials for BASIC; I have not seen any REAL tutorials for basic yet, just simple tips and "tricks". I have a good frame work already setup.

email me at shkaboinka@yahoo.com

That's because the manual is good enough. You just un-lock some games and see how they do stuff like using For to delay the game.

That's badly needed.

haha, basic doesnt realy need tutorials, lol, i learned it just by playing arround with the calculator!
its a very logical language (if,then disp), i've made several math programs in basic. only problem is its a slow language...

Hey, that would be cool if there was a place for calc entusiasts to post their ideas, find resources, and download.upload programs; what do you think?

See link.

LOL yeah. Very true. :-)

Does anybody know where I can get a TI-Basic -> ASM compiler for the Ti-83+?

Windows Utilities, I think, but it doesn't work.

Yeah, I tried it too and it doesn't work.

I am writing something better; check out my webpage

Can someone explane me how iGetPix works.
What register is input and what register is output?
HELP IS NEEDED

Does anyone have a pic/animation of the "all memory cleared" screen??? ive been looking forever and there is nothing.

-tonythetiger

p.s. thats for an 83+ calc.. sorry

Yes.

could you email an attachment of it? my email is in the orange profile thing.

-Thanks

Done.

EVEN BETTER:
This Program appears to disable everything:

: ClrHome
: Disp" Done
: While 1
: Input"",Str0
: End

You have to enable lower-case and TYPE-OUT the "Done" command (it has 12 spaces in front; the end quote is NOT neccessary)

How about this one:

: ClrHome
: Disp "............Done
: While 1
: Input "",X
: X+1 ->X
: Disp X
: End

Or this one:

#define USE_TI89
#define USE_TI92PLUS
#define USE_V200
#define OPTIMIZE_ROM_CALLS
#define MIN_AMS 100
#define SAVE_SCREEN
#include <tigcclib.h>
void _main(void)
{
short show_picvar (SYM_STR SymName, short x, short y, short Attr)
{
SYM_ENTRY *sym_entry = SymFindPtr (SymName, 0);
if (!sym_entry) return FALSE;
if (peek (HToESI (sym_entry->handle)) != PIC_TAG) return FALSE;
BitmapPut (x, y, HeapDeref (sym_entry->handle) + 2, ScrRect, Attr);
return TRUE;
}
show_picvar (*argptr, 0, 0, 1);
ngetchx ();
}

with a blank picture pathname string as the argument.

No, you see THAT will not work; if they give a wrong intput for X, you get an error, and also they will see the X and know something is up; ALSO, if they see the .......... before Done, it wont look right either

By inputting a string with NO input message, you can type anything you want at all, and it just moves down

it will work ive tried it. (my own idea)
by "............Done
i'm sure he ment twelve spaces and not periods
hhmmm
