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. |
Pong is a classic program for beginner programs to start out with, so we thought it was important to include it. The basic premise behind pong is you have to keep the ball ("O") in play by bouncing it back and forth against the walls, without letting it get by your paddle ("["). You can play this game indefinitely, but it does get monotonous after a while.
