Title: Hello, I am Parker
Post by: ParkerR on March 06, 2011, 09:10:45 pm

I have been over in #cemetech for a while now. I don't do any programming, just mainly testing for the programmers. I hope joining this community will get me started in programming. All I have done is a little TI-Basic. Nice to meet you all.

Hi ParkerR, I remember seeing you on Cemetech. Welcome to Omnimaga, and can't wait to see your projects :D

And if you're hungry, there's a whole bag here :P Click.

Welcome here! If you have any questions, you can ask on IRC or on the forums. ;) And look throught the Axe language board for awesome tutorials if you are interested in getting started with Axe. ;)

Spoiler For peanuts!:

I hope to get started in BASIC and ASM.

If you've never done a low-level language before, you should probably start with BASIC and when you get pretty good at that, try Axe before attempting ASM. ;)
although if you want to use Axe, there are people who've learned it as a first language. ;)

(wow, I feel nerdy for calling calc languages first/second languages. XD)

Indeed. Actually he's gonna have to get used to that old stuff here too. :P Granted, it only happens in intro/randomness sections, but if he checks older topics elsewhere or click signature links he gotta be careful. :P

Anyway welcome on the forums and I hope you enjoy your stay. Good luck in programming :D

Thanks everyone. I hope this is the year I will really get into programming.

I am now starting to read up on TI-BASIC. Hope to make my first program soon. :)

I remember my first TI-Basic game. It was slow as hell. Pure Basic tho. None of that lib stuff... I promptly ported it to Axe. Then lost the almost completed source code :(

I'm glad to hear ParkerR. :D

As for BASIC my first game was Illusiat 1, but it used to have no graphics in battles and have plenty of ERR:MEMORY messages. X.x It's an easy language to start with in general, though, and despite the slow speed, it's still possible to create good games in it.

@Jkag, sorry to hear. Data losses really suck X.x.

You should learn TI-BASIC, (XLIB?), then Axe, then ASM. That's the route I'm going, at any rate.
And then pick up other random languages along the way.

Just make sure to master TI-BASIC before using xLIB, though. Not necessarily master like Weregoose, but know how every command in the PRGM menu works and the basic optimizing tricks. You can go straight from BASIC to Axe afterward, since xLIB is harder to use (not as in hard to learn, but more that the syntax is near impossible to memorize so you always end up opening the readme every 3 minute when using real(1 or 2.)
