message: Should I add on how to program a formula, since most people who view this page want to learn how to do just that? It will give them a head start on programming other formulas and I can do a basic one (e.g. quadratic formula, distance formula, a few physics formulas) rather easily.

thread_title: Beginning Links

message: How do you do it?
I know the basics like Menu, Disp, Prompt, Input, "", Lbl, sto, RecallPic, formulas, Output(y,x,"____"), etc.
But how do you write games or make things move?
You have to know about variables and getKey functions HeckXX 00:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Go to http://education.ti.com/educationportal/downloadcenter/SoftwareDetail.do?website=US&tabId=2&appId=6123n and download the pdf file guidebook. There should be a section called "programming". To make stuff move, you can either write a program with a lot of draw functions or download Cabri Jr. (also from the Texas Instrument's web site).

replies: text: Nah. Maybe host it somewhere and link to it at the bottom of the article.Saibot 13:46, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Yes. When I first learned TI Basic, I had trouble due to the lack of a good tutorial. Also, many of those provided errorous messages. It would be beneficial to make a tutorial where programmers can create clear and easy instructions. Plus, any mistakes can be corrected, and questions asked.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Llamanator (talk • contribs) 00:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additions 

message: Anyone want to mention something about Ti calculators ability to dynamically generate and evaluate equations, let alone the ti-89 / 92's ability to *pass* equations.  This is a very advanced ability I haven't seen any other language match, Matlab or something similar probably does, but I have little experience with them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Donatj (talk • contribs) 05:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Coding tutorial?

message: It seems to me that there should be short examples of code for 83+ series and 89 series BASIC. I don't see the purpose for so much example code. Allynfolksjr 05:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Too many examples?

message: I fixed an error in the bouncing x program that made it to where it wouldn't loop, and for the person who wanted a game, I added a simple one I made. Feel free to edit my code if you find a way to make it better, I didn't spend much time on it. BrandonBridges 00:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GAME

message: This article has way too much example code to be useful, especially when there are decided guides for TI-Basic in the official manuals by TI and on websites. The cleanup tag has been on this article since December 2006, and I'll be removing almost all of the examples within the next two weeks. We need to illustrate the language, not provide an extensive tutorial on it.

replies: text: This article has too much of it's code removed. This is a language page, there should be relevant code to demonstrate the language. The 'hello world' programs do not accomplish this. 130.126.154.202 08:02, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removing example code

message: When sending a program from a TI-84+ first check the code for any "getDate" or "getTime" as well as "get****Str(" because if it is present, TI83+ and below will get an "ERR:VERSION" so check your program first!

thread_title:  84+ and 83+ confusion preventation 

message: On September 3rd,  67.190.231.188 decided to optimize the sample code. Because of this, the explanations no longer relate to the posted samples. Seeing as the explanations and the volume of code are likely far more important than its efficiency in the context of an encyclopedia, I'm choosing to revert those changes.

thread_title:  Code/Explanation Mismatch 

message: From the second paragraph of the Examples section regarding clearing the screen on the TI-89:
For the purpose of programs, however, [the ClrHome] command is essentially useless (yet it is invaluable in the programming of functions).
No command (including ClrHome) is even allowed in functions on the TI-89 series calculators (commands may be used in programs only), so how can it possibly be "invaluable in the programming of functions"? ::Travis Evans (talk) 22:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  ClrHome and functions on the TI-89 

message: That wouldn't technically be a tutorial, but it would solve all of the random questions that float trough here.  I could get it done in around a few hours.  however, i even don't know all the commands...  someone want to help?  Xiaden 16:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There isn't a need for that, as there's already a catalog function on the calculator. Anyway, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and I'm not entirely sure a list of all functions for every calculator is appropriate. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (talk) 03:53, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  SUGGESTION 

message: I've been working on some changes for the article and overall I think the Z80 and 68k dialects should be separate articles or at least distinct sections. They have radically different program structures and internal processing. VeryGoodDog (talk) 21:35, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Split 

message: Is it possible to use more than 10 strings in ti 84, as there are only variables named from Str0 to Str9 that can store strings, is there any other way to store more strings on a TI-84, as using Str0 - Str9 only allows for the storage of a maximum of 10 strings at once? If it is not possible, then the article can be edited to include this fact. 2604:3D08:6783:D100:E41B:CD20:C4D9:BCE3 (talk) 07:52, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
