I'm trying to write a program and I need to transfer elements from a list to variables.

Wow… That helps a ton! Thank you a lot for explaining all of this to me! I have a better grasp on it now! I also see why it is very important for the order of operations now in the expressions (I sort of forgot about that they would apply here…). Your help has been awesome! Also, I have a YouTube channel where I show off programs. I was wondering if you would like a shoutout for helping me? You have been very very very very helpful! You not only helped me with the code but went out of your way to explain it to me! Thank you for all of your help!!!!!

You are mostly correct; I'll break them both down below.
Let me know if you still have questions, I know my explanations are not always the easiest to follow
in discussion Programming & Design / TI-83/84/+/SE Programming » MineSweeper Optimization
I am trying to say what I think is happening. I might be totally wrong on some things… :)
I hope that you can understand what I am writing. If not I can rephrase things.
Thank you A TON for all of your help! It means a lot to me!
If (K=23)(([B](Y,X)=2)+Jnot([B](Y,X):Then
If (K=23)
This basically (I think) is the triggering statement because it will "give" a one if the delete key is pressed. Otherwise, the whole statement is 0.
(([B](Y,X)=2)+Jnot([B](Y,X):Then
First off, the statement is checking to see if the character's position is equal to two in [B]. J is then being added. J is also being multiplied by not([B](Y,X)=0. This statement (I think) is to check if [B](Y,X) is equal to two or to zero and then adding K if it is 2. I think all that the not is doing is putting an equal to 0 at the end of the statement, but it saves a few bytes in the long run (without the closing parenthesis). Somehow it also allows for the toggle capability, but I am unsure how that works.
If (K=105)not([B](Y,X)not([A](Y,X:1→[B](Y,X
I feel like I have a better grasp on what this statement does. It first checks to see if K is equal to enter. It then checks to make sure that at Y,X In [B] that it is equal to zero and that Y,X in [A] is also equal to zero. If it is all zero it then stores 1 into [B] at Y,X.

All that code does is check if any of those keys have been pressed. They can be in any order, but I typically put them in groups as to how they are handled. So I usually put movement, then clear and enter, and then any additional action keys.
Some people use max( instead of sum( too, but I prefer sum. Here is how the command gets processed:
//Calculator receives the command and parses it
If sum(K={24,25,26,34,45,105,23
// The first chunk it processes is K, for this explanation, assume K=45
If sum(45={24,25,26,34,45,105,23
//The next chunk it processes is the equality
//Since we are applying the equality operator to a list, it applies to all items in the list
If sum({0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0
//Now we take the sum of the list
If 1
//If 1 returns true according to boolean logic
I also realize I probably didn't explain these lines very well:
If (K=23)(([B](Y,X)=2)+Jnot([B](Y,X):Then
----
If (K=105)not([B](Y,X)not([A](Y,X:1→[B](Y,X
I think it would be most helpful for you to try and understand them on your own, but they are a little complex to read without thinking about it. I don't know if you've seen the page on Piecewise Expressions, but that is the fundamental concept they are built from. If you have any questions on how those specifically get processed, let me know
in discussion Programming & Design / TI-83/84/+/SE Programming » MineSweeper Optimization
I was wondering one thing… "If sum(K={24,25,26,34,45,105,23:Then". Do the "K" numbers have to be in a specific order or can they be changed around? Can it be like this? If sum(K={26,105,34,23,25,24,45
Thanks, it all works great and runs way faster. I may have to incorporate some of these new techniques in my future programming! Thank you a ton for all of your help. The Commented version was very helpful!

in discussion General Discussion / Open Topic » Project idea: gameboy assembly suite on TI-84+CE
Short version
I'm making a gameboy assembly development environment for my TI-84+CE. I won't bore you with all of the stuff about the way data will be stored, other than that I need to read and write individual bytes at a time from large variable of some sort. Preferably such a variable would be of variable size from 0 bytes to more than 16KiB (upper limit preferably more than 22KiB, just in case). 16KiB is the size of gameboy ROM banks, but I will need more than this because of markers bloating the data.
The question is how or where do I store that much data? I have no idea and would really appreciate some ideas from you guys. Also, in the longer version I go into more detail about the way it all works, if you're interested in hearing what I intend to do with this project.
Long version (please read it's really not that long)
I've had the idea in my head for a while to write a gameboy assembly development suite for my '84 CE. I know this is an ambitious and just plain silly project, but I think it will be a lot of fun.
Anyways, how to store the code? Well, the program would just write the bytes for each instruction to a variable of some sort, and read and interpret the instruction opcodes on the fly, basically acting as a live disassembler/assembler. This would cut down the size of the project files, at the cost of giving the program a LOT more to do.
Things such as labels, section definitions and chunks of raw data (such as graphics data) could just be inserted into the data directly, as there's 11 unused instruction opcodes in the gbz80 instruction set that could just be interpreted as markers instead of as instructions.
And to export the project files? I could just upload them to my laptop and do whatever I want with them from there. I could easily write a custom disassembler in python to interpret the unused opcodes and produce a .asm file to be compiled with RGBDS or whatever. Or I could write a simple program to remove the extra markers, and do other things to make the ROM image execution ready.
There's just one problem: How the heck do you store that much mutable bulk data efficiently? I mean storing LOTS of individual bytes in a single variable. Preferably such a variable would be of variable size from 0 bytes to more than 16KiB (upper limit preferably more than 22KiB, just in case). 16KiB is the size of gameboy ROM banks, but I will need more than this because of markers bloating the data.
Using lists is not an option, and this post was too long for all of the details. To summarize: With cramming four bytes into each number in the list (which is the limit of the integer resolution) only 44% of the RAM taken up by the list is the actual bytes of data being stored, and lists have a limit of 999 items which means only about 4K per list can be stored. It's unworkable every way to sunday.
Summary: The calculator has more than enough space to handle at least four 16KiB+ banks of data at a time, and enough archive space to store a fairly large gameboy game's worth of ROM banks. But where/how the heck do you store it? I've got no idea, and ny help I get will be much appreciated.

Welcome to TI|BD, ERR_NAME_INVALID.
This site is pretty quiet these days, but a plenty good place to learn and explore TI-BASIC nonetheless. Feel free to take a look at the Starter Kit or some of the other tutorial pages for whatever project you decide to pursue next. Also be sure to read the Rules and Wiki Conventions for information/tips on avoiding "n00b level mistakes" while making use of the forum and wiki.
As for assembly, you might find a more active community on Cemetech (if you're not already a member). At any rate, everyone there and here on TI|BD is happy to assist in any of your programmatic pursuits.
Happy coding,

The solution to a complex problem is often a simple answer.

I think you need some more checks for the mines, because I ran it on my calculator and it only generated 7 mines. I ran it a few times and it generated 7,11,12, and 10.
Try this code for validating your function:
DelVar [A]{8,16→dim([A]
[A]→[B]
For(I,1,A
randInt(2,7→Y
randInt(2,15→X
If [A](Y,X)=9
A+1→A
9→[A](Y,X
End
//Your function above this line
//Testing below
dim([A]→L₆
DelVar C
For(I,1,L₆(1)
For(J,1,L₆(2)
If [A](I,J)=9:C+1→C
End
End
Disp C

I was bored so I made an "optimized" version of yours, which could probably be optimized further but I didn't want to put too much time into it:

Thanks! I'm glad to be here.
Cool. Now I know [a bit] more about this topic and might look into it sometime. =)

Welcome to the community!

Hi all! I'm pretty much brand new to TI programming in general. I have a Ti-84 Plus CE as well as a Ti-82 (ROM version 18.0 for those interested). And yes, my TI-84 PCE is running OS ver. 5.3.0, but my boot code is 5.3.6 so I had to go through the downgrade process.
I've messed around with Ti-basic a little bit, but I know nothing about optimization and other basic things. I however am NOT new to assembly programming. I learned the fundamentals of z80 assembly through learning how to write assembly for the gameboy, which uses a Sharp LR35902 core @ 4.19 MHz. This is a stripped down z80 (no IX or IY registers, or LDIR for that matter) with some extra instructions (such as the SWAP instruction which swaps the high and low nybble of the accumulator).
It seems nice here, and I hope to be a semi-active member of this community. In addition to that, I'm new to how forums work, so please don't blast me for dumb n00b level mistakes. Other than that, I'm excited to be part of the community and look forward to chatting with all of you!

I think that my code has no memory leaks (fingers crossed). I am looking for help to make the code more efficent as well as cut down the byte numbers. Any advice is extremely helpful!
All of the code should be correct. I ran it on another calculator and pasted it here. Let me know if its not.
I probably used some weird methods. Sorry about that. :)
Controls:
Move: Arrow Keys
Dig: Enter
Graph :Update the screen (not character only dug spots,flags,etc.)

Edit: I put in two more lines to ensure that there will be 10 mines in different locations.
