Wow lordofthegeeks it has been a long while, where have you been? Did you resumed Animal Crossing yet?

And Skuller972 if this forum had a comment rating system like Youtube your post would  break negative rating records for sure. Instead I will just say to be careful to what you say about us nerds because you'll get the entire userbase against yourself :P (or maybe the entire TI community since everyone around were nerds at least at one point)

I had seen the program button:
New... wait, whats this? A semicolon!  Ah!! What do I do!?!?!   ...Um X=2?...  Execute.... Done?  Aaahhh! What does this mean!?!?!

Then some time later, I saw a basic trig program in My math book, and finally I knew what it was all about.  I think it helped that I was unaware how to use getKey for a very long time, so I was forced to expand my knowledge of tBasic without expending it on frivolous games ;)

I finally looked up getKey on the internet, and created a slow breakout as my first game.

I am so happy my first calc came with a complete instruction manual, else I would probably not have been as good at TI-BASIC, as I would have got extremly limited knowledge, due to having extremly limited access to a computer and internet (about 2 hours a week, only 15 minutes in it free to do anything I want) and no access to a printer back then

In grade 9.. like 4months ago I got a Ti-84!!! XD so I was like PRGM how do i program STUFF? I had no knowledge of any other languages so i messed around with it, and COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT!.. I tried Disp Hello.. I did not know you had to quote..

So I went on the internet(i saw the manual but I was like.. I don't think it can tell me how to program.. so I just skipped it) and then searched up games on calculators.. and finally found one with coding on it.. and I was amazed.. like almost the happiest day of my life(I know.. lame) and ever since I've been a fan of Arcane Wizard and Nitacku lawls(the website I went to was. United TI lololol XD)

Hiya and welcome here :)

I hope you enjoy your stay and showcase your new grayscale raycasting engine :)

erm... I mean... program :D

(btw, for the TI-83+SE and TI-84+ owners who never bought anything older before, the TI manual that comes with these calcs is really bad compared to the old TI-83+ manual. Texas Instruments tried to save on paper by doing this but on another hand just with the old TI manual that came with the TI-83+ regular edition was enough to start making calculator games, even if unoptimized and simple. In fact this is how I started. Back then I had no computer at home so if I was stuck with a TI-83+SE/84+ manual I don't think I would have started programming in 2001

I got a calc last year (83+) and I got some games, but I picked up programming mainly by playing around with code and stuff, then I found ticalc and started to do more. I then found DCS6 and I was drawn to Cemetech, then recently I started to go to other forums. I only got kind of competent at programming when I joined Cemetech and finished Grey.Fox+

hmm. I guess the manual didn't explain a lot...I didn't know what Syntax was... I didn't know what Conditional's were... I didn't know a lot! until I saw the Guessing Game Arcane Wizard posted up.. and even then it took me like 30 minutes to type it all down. *I'm surprised on how fast i can type on the calc.
