Learning to code in TI-Basic

[Sumde]

Hi everyone! Before you read on, this is not a tutorial in anyway, I will not be guiding you or teach you how to code in TI-Basic. Why? Because this thread is documenting MY process of learning TI-Basic. As many people know, I haven't really done anything in TI-Basic yet, nor learned how to use most of it, and I have quite the hard time trying to read some of the code from here. My plan is, each day, I will create a program (probably harder or with new features than the previous one) in TI-Basic, as well as documenting it here. I'm not sure how long this is going to last for, but honestly I want to end when I master it!

Week 1:

Day 1:
I created a random number guessing game (a classic) in TI-Basic, it picks a number from 1 to 100, and you pick a number, gives you hints to decide the next number (like if it's lower or higher) until you get the number right! So far, I haven't learned anything, because this is just purely what I know of TI-Basic.

Code: Select all

PROGRAM:GUESS
:randInt(1,100)->A
:0->B
:While A≠B
:Prompt B
:If B>A
:Then
:Disp "LOWER"
:End
:If B<A
:Then
:Disp "HIGHER"
:End
:End
:Disp "CORRECT!"

Day 2:
I created a program that gets the length of the hypotenuse from the adjacent and opposite side lengths using the Pythagorean theorem.

Code: Select all

PROGRAM:HYPOT
:Prompt A
:Prompt B
:√(A^2+B^2)->C
:Disp C

well, tibasic can make cool games if you know some tricks... Have you been using tibasicdev?

Well, most of the stuff that I'm doing right now (in week 1) is purely just my knowledge of TI-Basic, and I plan to advance on in the coming weeks.
