Hey, I am a 14-year-old male. I graduated high school through homeschooling last year. Now I do several AP classes at the local high school and Chinese. I got a TI-83+ when I started Algebra I a few years ago. I sat down with my calculator for an hour or so every day for a few weeks keying in programs I found on the web and doing tutorials until I understood TI-BASIC. I have made many programs, but most of them are games. In my opinion, the 4 best programs I've made are an FPS game (which took me 2 weeks to code and is a little slow, but it's still is pretty cool) called TunnelRat83, a custom version of Donkey Kong (which has ridiculous load times, I'm afraid to admit), an Asteroids game which is fast and uses little memory (the code can be found in a post of mine entitled "TI-BASIC Downward Scrolling Technique for Asteroids game"), and a game in which you fall through an endless hole (this game reflects my mental health, just kidding!). The first two games use matrixes to load maps, making them a little slow, and the second two games use a downward scrolling technique I've been working on.
Hey, just introducing myself.

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:
I'm a 14 year old high school student with a TI-83+.
