Hello!

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.

Hello!

I was so intent on asking my question, I didn't really explore the forums that much… I guess I should introduce myself.
I've been to the wiki sporadically a few times in the past, but I recently sat down and actually decided to really see what was here. I promptly discovered I'd been doing everything the most wrong way possible. XP I'm still just getting into programming; only in the last week did I actually first discover that GOTO loops are a no-no. Anyway, this place is pretty neat; I'll be here for a while. Hopefully I'll contribute some useful stuff, too.

Welcome, and we look forward to helping you and/or recieving help from you! I'll try to help as much as I can, but I'm on an as-of-yet definite hiatus from TI-BASIC as I've moved onto the computer programming world (I actually love it more than calculator programming).

If you ever get into Assembly programming, you'll quickly discover than "GOTO" is actually your most useful command. Even in TI-BASIC, it has its uses.

I'm going to stop now before I corrupt your newly learned programming methods :p

Lol, you would be appalled at what I'd been doing. I'd never touched the For, While, or Repeat commands; I used solely If:Then coupled with Goto loops. I was leaving loops without telling the calculator to End them, too. It's amazing I never got a memory error. But I fixed that. Along with a new understanding of Boolean logic, I think I'm on my way to actually semi-sorta knowing what I'm doing! :P
I just have to conquer the great and terrible GRAPH SCREEN. I'm still pretty intimidated by it.

Nahhhhhh, graph screen is easy. Just remember Pxl's have constant values, and Pt's are based on the Xmin, etc. values. But I remember when I first started, I used Goto/Lbl loops. Then when I got CatalogHelp I started using While. When I first started computer programming, I realized Repeat was like "Do Until". However, my current favorite for all kinds of programming is the For loop.
