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.

I think they can certainly be made read-only, but I'll give others some time to chime in before...

Featured Article

Piecewise expressions are a shortcut to handling conditions in math statements.

They can be used for turning an If block or several such blocks into a single line, creating much smaller and faster code.

Featured Command

The Menu( command displays a generic menu on the home screen, with up to seven options for the user to select from; you can create another menu and link to it, if you need more than seven options.

Welcome to the TI-83 section of TI-Basic Developer (TI|BD)! This section of the site covers how to make TI-Basic programs for the TI-83, TI-83+, TI-83+ Silver Edition (SE), TI-84+, and TI-84+ Silver Edition calculators (often abbreviated as TI-83/84/+/SE). After going through all of the TI-83 information, the reader should be a competent TI-83 Basic programmer.

Site Content

Search

We've tried to create a broad base of TI-Basic information. This ensures that most readers will hopefully be able to learn something from this site. Experimentation is encouraged to fully digest all of the information.

Please use our search engine to find what you desire, or refer to the sitemap.

Search is temporarily unavailable, we are working to bring it online!

Each reader can read the information in whatever order they desire. For the average reader, though, the suggested approach is to just start from the beginning and read until the end. The information is presented in a sequential order, with the concepts and code getting increasingly more complex as you get further into it. You might also look at the page Using This Guide, which outlines another suggested reading order.

Please feel free to not only get involved, but also come back often to see what changes or additions have been made. And above all else, enjoy your stay!
