Heya and welcome here! I just spotted your message. I am not experienced with TI-Nspire coding, but this topic might be useful: http://ourl.ca/6330

Hi nujuat welcome to omnimaga!!! im sure you'll enjoy it here!
and im a ti-nspire programmer too! (well... BASIC)

I have this new TI Nspire CAS calculator this year and I'm wondering how you could develop games for it. I normally use game maker, but I have made a simple game in c++ before, and it's not like I haven't seen real code before.
So yeah, any suggestions?

Welcome!

So what do you use for programing? And your reply was also very fast too! I was expecting tomorrow or later!

I've been a TI-NSpire Basic Programmer too, I used the included emulator.

Here at Omnimaga, we are a lot, and we usually respond quickly to things, but it also depends on the time.

Good Luck !

For TI-BASIC you use the on-calc program editor, but it's not easy to use and is limited. I think C is harder but you gain more freedom.

And yeah generally topics gets answered fast here. It depends of the period of the year too. For example during Summer or exams it can take 3-4 days.

So Sorry, I forgot to say thanks for the replies!
I will try BASIC when on Monday, because I left may calculator in my locker.

Yep, BASIC is the easiest to learn and code (since you can code it directly on-calc and there's (almost) no chance of crashing your calculator). It's pretty restricted on an Nspire, though, and mostly it's for math, but you can still make some decent games with it (like monoploy ).

jhgenius01's monoploy game is better

Ok..... let's just call it mnoplyo, okay?

Back on topic: Usually, I'd suggest you'd try to make a map you can move around in with some obstacles (first time I tried my calc had to redraw the entire thing for every step taken), but since you already have some C++ experience (I hardly count game maker, it's nothing like programming even if you are a pure GML programmer) I'd say you could simply start making something!

Some examples of practice projects would include:
-A maze game
-A "Catch" game
-A platformer (harder than the previous two, but because of it's largeness it's a good practice nonetheless)
-A level editor for a maze game (HARD but if you can actually pull this off the game is probably good enough to upload here )
