Does anyone know of any good sites to learn it (that don't link you to 500.000 other pages), and do you recommend learning it? Math class is boring [already] and my school books suck [CPM = shit], so I can play games on my calculadora.

Haha.

TI-Basic will be the death of me.

Umm... guys... Joe is 100% right!

TI-Basic is no where close to basic!

For example:

Code: [Select]

:ClrHome
:Disp "HELLO WORLD"

No dot notation, no objects, no classes.

Code: [Select]

:Clrhome
:0->A
:For X,1,20
:A+X->A
:End
:Disp A

No dot notation, no objects, no classes.

Code: [Select]

:ClrHome
:Lbl 1
:getKey A
:While A=0
:getKey A
:End
:ClrHome
:Disp A
:Goto 1

No dot notation, no objects, no classes, whiles not ended with a wend.

Of course, there are more defining attributes then that to basic, but those are some. The only thing basic-ish I can find is the use of a GoTo command..

TI-BASIC is a form of BASIC. BASIC isn't all OOP, it's just a simple, high-level instructional language. You're defining all BASIC by using RealBASIC or Visual BASIC as a standard, when in fact they are offshoots and extended versions of the original BASIC.

@deadly: The TI instruction booklet taught me everything I needed to know, but if you want a website, this is a good one.

Do you need like a compiler or some program of some sort, or would notepad suffice?

Quik · « **Reply #5 on:** September 05, 2005, 12:06:39 am »

Why not learn z80? It's more of a real language.

deadly7 · « **Reply #6 on:** September 05, 2005, 12:29:07 am »

z80 works with calculators? My manual says it doesn't.

rabbit · « **Reply #7 on:** September 05, 2005, 12:35:24 am »

It does

deadly7 · « **Reply #8 on:** September 05, 2005, 12:42:28 am »

Leet..
Compiler if needed, and link if you could find one? The only reason i don't google it is cause you people know if it's a full tutorial rather then something that tells you 1/10th of what you need to know

TI-83+ and that series work very well with z80; Darkness is talented with it. He has a link for a tutorial for it on ticalc.org I believe, we can see if he'll look at this topic and provide some insite.

That's great and all but i don't have a ti-83.

Quik · « **Reply #12 on:** September 05, 2005, 02:36:38 am »

Well then, what do you have and how do you know it supports TI-BASIC? What's the point, anyway? :p

deadly7 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 05, 2005, 11:14:22 am »

I'm getting either a TI-83 or a TI-89, and the book said so. To answer the second question: Geometry is quite possibly the most boring class on the face of the universe, so games can distract me.

rabbit · « **Reply #14 on:** September 05, 2005, 12:15:23 pm »

I remember geometry.........it sucked.

trust · « **Reply #15 on:** September 05, 2005, 10:01:04 pm »

Yeah so I learned this like in 7th grade. Bow down hoes.

Newby · « **Reply #16 on:** September 05, 2005, 11:25:14 pm »

I got out of geometry with an A-.

Trust me, algebra 2 is much better.

Still, both suck, and video games help to pass the time!

Also, who cares if you don't have a calculator yet? Learn the languages!

On a side note, isn't TI-Basic an interpreted language, technically? Since it's never really compiled until you run it...

I dunno, I was just thinking about that in an attempt to distract myself from this boring essay.

Quik · « **Reply #17 on:** September 05, 2005, 11:57:53 pm »

Go with TI-83+ or TI-84+ man.

deadly7 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 09, 2005, 10:18:34 pm »

I'm getting a TI-86, thanks.

rabbit · « **Reply #19 on:** September 09, 2005, 10:44:40 pm »

No man, go with the Sexy TI-94.

But in all seriousness, the 89 is pretty awesome.

deadly7 · « **Reply #20 on:** September 10, 2005, 12:47:58 am »

I'm not rich. the 86 is my brother's, he's buying himself a new 89.

I thought about getting an 84, since we CAN use it even though my courses ask for an 83. But then I found out that next year in AP Calc I'm going to (or so I heard) need an 89. Oh well.

karwind · « **Reply #24 on:** September 11, 2005, 07:44:19 pm »

TI-Basic is pretty straight forward. If you understand BASIC and the basic (no pun intended) operations of the calculator (the catalog, I mean) then it should be a piece of cake.

On a side note with the discussion on calculators, The TI-89 Titanium kicks ass. I really want to get one, having a TI-83+ Silver myself. Well, I'll get it when I go to college or something. It'll be a worthwile upgrade.

deadly7 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 14, 2005, 07:31:12 pm »

Anyone know of any straightforward websites that teach you TI-Basic for a TI-86, and also have the software needed (Compiler if any..)

karwind · « **Reply #26 on:** September 16, 2005, 01:27:31 pm »

86? I'm not sure abou 86. You might want to look at http://ticalc.org Look through some of their archives and go to source codes. After transferring them to your calculator, you can view the source codes. I'm not sure about computer though. You're going to need TI Software to do that. It comes with a programmer (:

im pretty sure basic isnt advanced enough to use classes

Get an 89, i used to have an 83 but after switching to the 89 I just can't go back

AntiVirus · « **Reply #30 on:** September 23, 2005, 04:06:37 pm »

I would stay with an TI-83 or something around that area IF you plan on taking ACT. But, if not go for the goal!!
