  • TI Basic Is the Built-In Programming Language of the TI-89 and TI-92 Plus Calculators
    [7.38] Why use TI Basic? TI Basic is the built-in programming language of the TI-89 and TI-92 Plus calculators. It is one of several programming languages you can use; the other languages are M68000 assembly language and two C compilers. "TI Basic" is not Texas Instruments' name for the built-in programming language. In fact, the TI-92 FAQ says this about it: "Programming language of the TI-92 - is it BASIC? No. There are a number of features that are similar to the BASIC programming language, but it is not BASIC." The Getting Started web page for the TI-89/92+ SDK has the only TI reference to "TI Basic" I have found, but I will use that term since it is common and well-understood in the calculator community. Some programmers claim that TI Basic is unsuitable for coding, citing real and imagined advantages of C. TI Basic does have some serious limitations, but there remain several compelling reasons to use it: ! TI Basic is built into every calculator, and programs can be completely developed on the calculator. You don't need an external interpreter, assembler, compiler, editor or development system. ! The TI Graph Link software can be used for program development if desired. Programs can be edited on the PC, then downloaded to the calculator for execution and debugging. ! The learning curve for TI Basic is short and shallow compared to learning C or assembler. ! TI Basic is stable and robust. It is either difficult or impossible to crash the calculator with a TI Basic program.

  • TI-Calculator Game Design
    TI-Calculator Game Design By Blast Programs, Inc. Chapter One: An Introduction Introduction Your Texas Instruments graphing calculator is a very powerful device, with two built-in programming languages that it can understand. The first is z80 assembly, a low-level language that provides direct command line access to your calculator’s processor. This is very dangerous if you are unfamiliar with what you are doing. Oftentimes, the calculator will simply crash, without throwing an error of any kind. If you make a mistake, you can damage your device’s memory beyond repair. There is a safer alternative to that. TI-Basic is a high-level language. It is an interpreted language. This means that the processor reads each line before it executing the command. If you make a mistake here, the calculator will return an error. Also, one command in TI-Basic is the equivalent of several lines of assembly code, thus making it a lot easier to use. TI-Basic is the only language to be discussed in detail in this tutorial. For future clarity, I will now define several terms involved in the TI-Basic programming language. The first is command. A command is a word or symbol that directs a device to perform a certain task. An argument, otherwise known as a specification, is a series of one or more values or inputs that limit the execution of a command. Some commands are comprised of arguments. Memory Structure of the TI Calculator The TI calculator has two main sectors, the RAM and the Archive. The RAM is a portion of the memory that is available to programs for design and execution.

  • BASIC Programming with Unix Introduction
    LinuxFocus article number 277 http://linuxfocus.org BASIC programming with Unix by John Perr <johnperr(at)Linuxfocus.org> Abstract: About the author: Developing with Linux or another Unix system in BASIC ? Why not ? Linux user since 1994, he is Various free solutions allows us to use the BASIC language to develop one of the French editors of interpreted or compiled applications. LinuxFocus. _________________ _________________ _________________ Translated to English by: Georges Tarbouriech <gt(at)Linuxfocus.org> Introduction Even if it appeared later than other languages on the computing scene, BASIC quickly became widespread on many non Unix systems as a replacement for the scripting languages natively found on Unix. This is probably the main reason why this language is rarely used by Unix people. Unix had a more powerful scripting language from the first day on. Like other scripting languages, BASIC is mostly an interpreted one and uses a rather simple syntax, without data types, apart from a distinction between strings and numbers. Historically, the name of the language comes from its simplicity and from the fact it allows to easily teach programming to students. Unfortunately, the lack of standardization lead to many different versions mostly incompatible with each other. We can even say there are as many versions as interpreters what makes BASIC hardly portable. Despite these drawbacks and many others that the "true programmers" will remind us, BASIC stays an option to be taken into account to quickly develop small programs. This has been especially true for many years because of the Integrated Development Environment found in Windows versions allowing graphical interface design in a few mouse clicks.

You’ve shared them with your friends, and they think you’ve done a good job. You’re frustrated, though, because the games aren’t very interactive. You want something more immersive, where you move a hungry mouse around the screen, trying to collect pieces of cheese. You want to make the game challenging, so you need to add a way to lose: you add a hunger bar. You decide that the hunger bar will gradually fill and that the player will lose if the hunger bar fills up.

Today’s programmers write applications and games for fun and profit, creating everything from the programs that run on your phone to the frameworks that underpin the entire internet. When you think of pro- gramming, however, you probably don’t envision a graphing calculator. So why should you read this book, and why should you learn to program a graphing calculator? Simply put, graphing calculators are a rewarding and easy way to immerse your- self in the world of programming. Graphing calculators like the ones in figure 1.1 can be found in almost every high school and college student’s backpack, and though few of them know it, they’re carrying around a full-fledged computer.
