Welcome to omnimaga!


Do you have any calculators? It is IMO a very good place to learn programming on them

Graphical calculators.
Or other pogrammable calculators

ebay, amazon, local stores, idk.

I would personally recommend getting a TI-84+SE because the community on that is quite active, it is fun and idk

Hello kumahasarock, welcome to Omnimaga. What calculator(s) do you use/ are in interested in? Also, I would recommend not centering your text in the future so your posts are easier to read.

*Edit* I just assumed you were talking about calculator programming since that is one of the main interests here and you said you did not own a computer. However, your main post doesn't mention you owning a programmable calculator. That being the case, are there any computer languages or other platforms that you are interested in?

Hello and welcome! If you want to learn about computer programming, I would check out Lua and LÖVE first; they're quite beginner friendly and powerful. Also, have some peanuts.

Kuma, welcome to Omnimaga!  TI-BASIC (used to code Texas Instruments' calculators) is a great place to start in computer programming, and is relatively simple to learn.  Texas Instruments sells the best (most prominent) programmable calculators.  I would personally recommend a TI-83 Plus or a TI-84 Plus SE (preferably the TI-84 Plus SE).  However, TI is ridiculous when it comes to pricing ($100 for a calculator with a B&W display and little RAM); your best option is to get one used (they are pretty durable).  ^^  I got mine from a pawn-shop for 20 American Dollars.  However, if you do not wish to buy a calculator, you could use an emulator, or a simulated calculator (and usually can be found for most devices).  It should be simple to set up on a home computer or a mobile device, and If you are using a public computer, you could always run it from a thumb drive...
To set up an emulator, you need an EMU (the program to run the calculator), and a ROM (an "image" of a calculator).  For an emulator, I can recommend WabbitEMU.  It is fast, flexible, stable, and supports most devices (search for their website if my link does not include what you need).  ROM's are technically illegal to acquire unless you create you own using your personal calculator, but really don't have much of a legal penalty attached.  However, I give you one using this site.  Fortunately, WabbitEMU includes a ROM creator that is pretty simple to use, and a search can find you one eventually as well.  If you are having trouble, feel free to shoot me an email using [email protected] .
Once you get yourself a calculator or an EMU, here are a few good tutorials:
TI-Freakware's TI-BASIC tutorial (my favourite)
Another good tutorial that is not as accurate
My Personal (and incomplete) tutorial

Good luck, and here are some peanuts!
