Hello. I hate introduction posts, but that doesn't stop me from introducing myself....I hate them because I don't really have a good idea of how to introduce myself, is all.
You can call me Holmes or McCoy, I answer to both. I'm a relative newcomer to coding, but I learn fast, and not in a linear manner, so don't be too surprised if I know something pretty advanced and yet don't know something that is really basic.
Can't think of anything else to say about myself at the moment...

welcome to omnimaga!
what languages do you program in?
-
Welcome here! your peanuts should be arriving shortly... ;D
Which calc(s) do you have? :)
-
nemo: TI-Basic only. I'm limited by the fact that I don't have a cable to connect my computer to my calculator.
ztrumpet: Just a TI-83+.
-
Ah, okay. If you're pretty new to Ti-Basic then I'd like to point you here: http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/home
It's a great site for learning commands, but there isn't as much forum activity as here. :D
-
I totally agree on the lack of forum activity there. xD
edit: Which of course, is not necessarily a bad thing. I like the slow pace there, because I don't go onto that particular forum often enough to be bothered by the slowness there (I've got about nine tabs open right this second, plus I'm lurking/chatting in two separate IRC channels, somebody's gonna have to miss out on having my lovely presence 24/7).
-
Nice view. :D
Do you have any projects planned, or are you just attempting to learn the language? Good luck with it all. ;D
-
I do have a project in mind, two, in fact.
A multiplication table sort of thing, and a periodic table of the elements program that is completely written in TI-Basic, and without using a pic to display a table.
I have a feeling that the multiplication table project will be the easier of the two....

Hey welcome here ^^
I hope you enjoy your stay and that you don't mind the high activity that reigns over here sometimes (altough it might go down this Summer). Usually, I simply check the Axe sub-forum then most projects, and when I have more free time, I check the rest :)
Also I hate introducing myself too XD it took me two hours to write mine, even if most of it was just past programming history that I already mentionned elsewhere. I like the intro forums, though (which was inspired from Calc Haven forums) because it makes the community feel more open towards new members.
Programming-wise, we welcome both new and advanced coders so don't worry. Do you plan to program stuff like games, by the way?
Also, as a suggestion for your no-link-cable issue, if you ever need an ASM/Axe library for a BASIC game, you can use http://asmtools.omnimaga.org/asmunsquisher/ to get the hex code from the computer program then manually copy it on the calc (be careful to not do any typos!). Then once comes time to send your program to the computer you just copy your BASIC code in http://www.cemetech.net/projects/basicelite/sourcecoder2.php and the ASM libraries that are on the computer included with your 8xp files. Alternatively you can use Wabbitemu to program and extract your files with F7. However, be careful to not accidentally quit without saving.

I may at some point in the future program stuff like games, when I'm a bit more comfortable with coding (and have a link cable). I've got plenty of storyline ideas for RPGs (I write a lot of fanfiction and original fiction) as it is right now.
Thank you for your suggestion, I will most certainly keep that in mind (and add the links to my bookmarks as well).
-
Cool to hear ^^

Excellent! Welcome to Omnimaga! :D

That sounds great. I really like that you write your own storylines, as it provides a unique and cool twist on each game. :)

Welcome!
Your peanuts (I couldn't be bother to find the normal one):

-
Two things:
1. Welcome here. I hope you enjoy your stay here at Club Omnimaga ;D
2. I lost the game. /me glares at calcdude84se :P
-
I lost the game again x.x
-
Welcome and enjoy your stay.
It is never too late to review the basis and that also happens to me. People who learn by themselves usually go through that problem if they don't use a splendid book or other source in the beginning.
I had many mistakes of some theory of programming like what really is object oriented programming, when some people probably learnt from the start in a boring and easy way.
I don't normally like to introduce. Skipping it is much more comfortable for me without any good reason. But it has not always been like this.
And later getting into the community, I feel like don't need to introduce. But if I ever introduce I might tell my name and other information depending on the forum.

Let's see, it only took me 500 posts before I introduced myself. :P
-
And I haven't introduced myself yet! :P
I don't think I ever will, either.

For me it took me OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!
Including the old board and every single board I ever posted on, it took me almost 6 years to introduce myself somewhere I think, since I joined my first TI forum in Sept 2003, then half another year to do it properly on Omnimaga
I generally just put my programming info when I introduce myself, but since my programming history is far too long, I usually don't bother because I don't know how to sum it up x.x

Simply just removed this post.

Sup holmes?

@holmes221b
Side Question: Not to be rude or anything but if you're a girl why do you go by two different guy names? (Sherlock Holmes and Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy)
I'm not to sure if it was really necessary. We should not comment this way on people names, especially if it's their real names (which are not chosen by themselves). I for one hated when people made fun of my last name at school. Plus some people may be using nicknames based on something they like, not necessarly to represent themselves (example, a girl may use the nickname Superman or Bioman). I feel even if it's not meant to be rude, it could still be seen as offensive by the person. So I rated down your post
