Getting an 84+SE!
« on: February 18, 2013, 03:45:17 pm »
My mom ordered me a used TI-84 Plus SE from Amazon last night for around $60 :D
Should be coming around next week...

Any suggestions for what I should do with it when it arrives?

Program on it, obviously. Start with a few simple TI-Basic examples.

Immediately download Axe and figure out how to use it! :P

Actually, immediately jumping into Axe isn't a good idea, unless you've done a lot of programming in the past.

AXE is my first and only language for the TI-84. I believe that AXE is the best option for programming.

No way! I just bought one too except it was from ebay, I can't wait till mine gets here.  I'm going to try to learn z80 assembly then learn the other stuff afterwords but I'm in a computer science class and I already know stuff about programming.

If you're going to be programming it check out wabbitemu.  It's an emulator that lets you run your programs and other things on your computer instead of the calc.

I thought the programming was a given xD

I meant besides that. 

I was thinking of learning TI-BASIC first, then Axe, then ASM. 
From what I gather, those are arranged in orders of difficulty of learning them. 

Can anyone recommend good material for learning these languages? 

I'm already familiar with some beginner stuff with TI-BASIC.  The other day at lunch, my friend was doing trig homework and when he wasn't looking I swiped his calculator for a few seconds, and made it say "Hello Stupid".  Literally only two lines (ClrHome and Output(4,2,"Hello Stupid")) and my friends already regard me as some hacker/programmer prodigy, which I find absolutely hilarious.

So I guess I'll continue with TI-Basic.

Also I'm familiar with WabbitEmu.  I have a few TI roms lying around my hard drive.

Don't learn assembly first. At least learn Axe before that.

My vote is go for what you want any language can be hard if you dont work on understanding it. I started with asm and honestly I am a horrible coder of Ti-Basic and axe I suck at them frankly.

Learn what you think you will enjoy most. They all have there pluses and minuses ^^

I really don't want to burst your bubble, since this is the way all (most) programmers start, but by displaying "hello world" you're still miles away from actually doing what's called programming. It has a lot more into it than just displaying; it is a start though.

I recommend doing as you say, because that's the most simple way to go. Basic is extremely easy to learn, works fine and gives quite a wide range of features. Axe is wonderful, but can be pretty hard at times, so don't jump to that stage after one day, make sure you're completely used to the basic side before you go any further (it should go without any thinking).

ASM is hard, and extremely hard if you even don't really have any basic experience, but it's a nice idea to keep in mind, it might take several years to get to that stage though.

Heh, yeah it's easy to make other people think you're a genius with simple basic programs. For example, I started a craze with this program:

ClrHome
While 1
Input "",Str1
Disp 42
End

Gives 42 as the answer to all equations, until the user figures out to push On :P

If they think that's cool, I should show them Fruit Ninja :P
