Finishing the 68k command index

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

Summary:

At the moment, the command index for 68k is missing documentation for more than half of the commands listed there. I'd like to change that.

Finishing the 68k command index

Hello to all! This site has been a blessing to me ever since I got my first TI-83+ calculator. About a year ago, I got a TI-92+, and the first thing I did was go onto this site to learn what everything does. To my dismay, more than half of the commands listed in the 68k command index lack any form of documentation! So now, a year later, I'm coming back to this site, and things haven't changed much. TiB68k is a beautiful language, and it's a shame that newer programmers have to guess and check how everything works all by themselves. So, I'm setting out to create a page for every command that needs one. This would be an extremely tedious task if I were to do it alone, so I'm starting this thread to (hopefully) get people to help out and start filling in what they know. Every command in the TI-83 Basic command index has documentation, so it's generally not all that hard to create a new page for 68k because most of the commands have similar uses to their z80 counterparts. I have already created the page for the E command, and I'm working on the fPart command now. All the commands listed in red are unfinished. For anyone willing to help, I cannot thank you enough!

I’ve been using this website ever since I got my ti83+ too, and now that I’m experienced with that, I’m moving to 68k. My 68k voyage 200 should be coming in the mail soon. I’d love to help out and make a contribution. I just need some time to get a hang of the new language. Like you, I’ve found it to be very unfortunate that there is a lack of information on possibly the most powerful language of all Ti calculators.

Some TI-83 Basic commands are generally the same in 68k Basic. fPart( serves the same purpose as the one in 68k.

Yeah, I noticed that when I was working on the E command. There are some differences between the languages still, for example, some error messages from z80 wouldn't apply in 68k, so you still have to look over the site to make sure it works for 68k. But yeah, for quite a few of the commands you could almost just copy and paste the information from the z80 commands.
