I just looked through my old TIcalc profile, and I noticed how many of my first programs I made for calculators -- among them is a really crappy 3D grapher, an almost complete z80 instruction documentation flashapp (the ONLY eBook for the 84+ series apparently), and my epic BASIC game I started making with less than a week of experience -- TIE. :)
The only ones worth really sharing here is the epic TIE game (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/430/43064.html) and the almost complete eBook (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/431/43161.html).
What are the first programs you guys first made? Share them here :D
-
Love the ebook...as for first programs....does a counter count?
actually the first thing i made was a simple snake like game that was horridly coded and was crap xD
yeah not to much from me xD
-
Well, no counter, since I hate how those people on ticalc upload ten of those and similar things like "how quick can u press teh button???111?" but the snake thing sounds cool :)
-
First game ever: WWIII (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/417/41705.html) in 2006. The version on ticalc is actually my third or fourth rewrite of the thing because back then I had so much time and so little memory (on-calc) that I kept deleting and redoing that one program :P
First game that actually seems decently fun now (looking back): Escape (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/429/42932.html) in 2007. Type in what you want to do in the game. Also one of my first programs not to have Gotos all over the place :P
First game that I consider worthy of keeping on my ticalc profile when I get around to cleaning it up: Absolute Insanity (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/427/42796.html) of 2009. As some people know, key detection's pretty bad, but it's still my most complex BASIC program ever. Not necessarily my best in terms of coding skills, but best in terms of playability.
First game in Axe: Simul (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/432/43245.html). Looking back, the code's absolutely horrendous, but it's the only program of mine to get a feature/award of any sort, so I guess it works.
First quadratic solver: AAQUAD (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/429/42956.html) in 2010. Yes, 2010. That was the first time I ever made a quadratic solver O.O
-
I don't often upload to ticalc.org, but my first upload was Obstacle Snake. After that is a tilemap converter and WFRNG OS.
-
My first uploaded game was Drifter, which I still like, but my first *successful* game (in my own eyes) was Numb3rs. They're both in my sig. ;)
-
My VERY first project for calc was an unfinished start to another game, when I didn't even understand how the commands even worked (I though Menu set a value).
My first completed project for calc would have to be my Bopit (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/425/42598.html) game. It's actually somewhat fun. But that was a little project.
I realize that all of my projects have been pioneering some new technique that I had never used before:
Bopit: First game
DIEFIEND: First game with save files
Reload: First BASIC link game
Morale: First Hybrid BASIC game
Axe Zombie: First Axe game
Eitrix: First multiplayer Axe game
-
Wrong board, moved to Calc discussions and news.
My first project ever was an on-calc database of enemies and character manager for a RPG-based comic book I was planning to write at the time. The comic book never took off, though. My 2nd project was Labyrinth of Illusions, which was a graphical dungeon RPG with text-only battles. Later it became Labyrinth of Illusions 2, which had the same dungeons but graphical battles. Later it got renamed to illusiat, after it added an intro sequence.
Illusiat 1 would be my first ever released calculator program:
Technically, the original version of Illusiat 2 is practically the same as Illusiat 1, even most of the intro, battle layout and most dungeon rooms. However it's more like a sequel to the first. There are 2 dungeons and one extra boss. Dungeon 2 is optional.
If it wasn't for the fact I'm kinda out of calc stuff nowadays, on September 22th 2011 there would be an Illusiat 10th anniversary remake coming out.
-
My first program was Stik RPG (Excluding all the sample programs that I followed)
I've remade that like 20 times (first 16 times pure BASIC)
-
My first program was Formulum (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/432/43265.html), quite proud :)
-
My first program was russian roulette :P
I actually didn't understand what I was doing, since I just started. Actually Jim, who was already busy with TI-basic did probably the most work. As far as I know I maybe only drew the picture(s).
I never uploaded it anywhere. Good thing too, cause it kinda sucked.

I wish I had someone to code with (as in a team), but someone standing next to me.

my first program was a quadratic solver :P
but it never gave the right answer! :D
I had a lot of fun giving it to 'friends' and watching their expressions

Actually, that was my first program, but I copied the source code from the internet, so I don't count it.
-
Black Jack, but most the mth programs were found on my comp from way back when also. :P

Unlike most other members of TI Community, I never made Black Jack, Roulette or any luck/cards game,.
-
My first real 'program' that I can remember was some JavaScript code that alerted a password that you wrote in a password field, so that everyone could see it. I then tricked my sister with it.
My first calculator program was Block Breaker. I've made tons of other little games and programs that I never released, but I can't remember the names and what they did.

My first real program was a Python quiz then. I was only counting calculator so far.

Thanks! :hyper:

And he's also older, so he probably has more experience, I guess.

Yep, and I had an older brother who teached me all the programming ;)

w000t Your first language was Javascript?
-
It sure was, and I had great help because my brother was/is expert in it (He was 10 years back in the top 5 best JS programmers)
-
My first program (non-calc) was in Visual Basic... It was supposed to add two numbers together, but it actually added two strings together! So if you typed 1 and 1, the answer would not be 2, but 11.

That reminds me of having a very hard time learning booleans,arrays,integers and strings.
-
What was my first program? I have no idea. My first game was a train made out of the letter I hitting walls with really odd variable-based collisions. Now I tend to use the draw screen to handle collisions, and at least 6 different kinds. With saving pics in-program (never tried, may not even be possible) works, You could handle 60 different object types!
Just use the coordinates corresponding to the homescreen location, followed by *(2 or 3) and for Y, if the layer is over 3, use Y*2. Essentially fake "layering"
This took 25 minutes to explain in words. :banghead:
If
getPixel(X,Y)=1
Then
Disp "Solid"
End
If
getPixel(X*2,Y)=1
Then
Disp "Coin"
End
If
getPixel(X*3,Y)=1
Then
Disp "Death"
End
-
I don't actually have any of my first programs anymore, but on my TI-82 I had found a bunch of stick-man death animations online, and then made some of my own :). It was pretty morbid, but a lot of fun. I'd love to find the original files I based all of mine off of, but I haven't been able to yet.
As for my first ever actual program, it was in QBasic, and I'm pretty sure it was
10 Print "Shaun rocks, Colby smells!"
20 Goto 10Colby being my brother :D
-
My first program is in Pascal... I think it's as useless as ti-basic on Nspire... But I only can program by these two... I studied Pascal just for the contest NOIP... And I finally got a very bad grade because I didn't listen to my teacher carefully And it's so boring because i were not allowed to use computer during the class...
My first ti-basic program, like many other one, was a quad solver.
-
My first BASIC program was a simple math program (I don't think it was a quadratic, as I have no need with an 89 :P)
My first C program was a port of Stephan Bauwens' Ballz for the 89. :)
-
My first python program was a basic input output hello program with extra features
my first C++ program was a base converter
and my first TI-BASIC program was a factoring algorithm
-
You tried to factor the Nspire CX 2048 bit RSA key with a TI-BASIC program??? O.O
J/k, in response to Scout I never made card games either, I wasn't much into that type of games. I never made a text based RPG either, even Labyprog had a minimum of graphics, and I never did a guessing game or quadratic solver either.
-
It would have died. It took it over 25 min to factor 10^12
I should try though... who has the public key in base 10...
-
Lol ok. In any case, don't use Casio FX 1.0 BASIC for it. :P
-
I used TI-84+ BASIC on my TI-nspire 84+ keypad
-
Ah ok. But yeah FX BASIC is probably the slowest calc BASIC of all. X.x
-
I was told it was faster than 84+BASIC
-
Weird, you might have been misinformed. Prizm BASIC is faster except display commands, but on the 1999 Algebra FX series, it's ridiculously slow, twice more than old Casio calcs and 20x more than the 84+.
-

Oh, yeah, the FX basic is hecka slow. My older brother has a Casio FX, and you can actually see displayed characters appear letter...by...letter...
-
Yeah it's insane. I never understood why, because the old CFX series were twice faster, even with colors. Maybe it's because memory is paged like the TI-86? The FX has 128 KB of user RAM.
-

Choice battle game 1.1 was my first really good game. I have not had time to work on much since them, just projects here and there...
-
Wait I thought Choice was by Adamac? ???
-
My first program ever was a quadratic formula program that i copied out of the book :P The first program I wrote myself was a triangle solver. The first game i made was a game where a dot fell accross the screen and you had to move it to avoid other dots. When you reached the bottom you went back to the top and more dots were added :D
-
Oh, yeah, the FX basic is hecka slow. My older brother has a Casio FX, and you can actually see displayed characters appear letter...by...letter...
Wait - you mean the Casio fx-9860G Slim uses that awful slow programming language? :'(
My first program - in Python - took two numbers that the user put in and multiplied them.
-
no, the diff calcs just have similar syntax for the language. Not all CASIO's Basic sucks, nor does all of TI's (nspire vs. 86 for example)
My first program said "HI"
-
My first progs (no typo) was a quadratic solver, it even not asked for input, the syntax was:
1->A
2->B
-4->C
prgmQUAD1 ;stores first ans in A
1->A
2->B
-4->C
prgmQUAD2 ;stores second ans in A
It kinda sucked, but I was proud of it.
-
Casio PRIZM basic is weird compared to other Casio calcs. It's almost as fast as 9860G for math and home screen commands, but for graph screen draw commands it's even slower than the already slow FX 1.0/AFX 2.0. You can still do some cool games in PRIZM BASIC, but not as much as on the 84+.
-
The first program I uploaded was a Parametric Derivative and Arc Length using Symbolic. It was pretty cool I guess. I am wayyy better at math stuff then games, but that is why I came here, to learn how to make stuff people actually enjoy! :P
-
Yeah with Prizm BASIC the fastest way to draw lines is using plot commands. An you never ever want to use pxl-on in a BASIC prog. According to my tests math wise Prizm BASIC is 50% faster than 84+ BASIC, but drawing is far slower. Which is kinda sad because the ratio between cpu power compared between the 84+ and the Prizm taking both clock cycles and clock speed into account is about 1:14 :P
-
How fast is it with plot commands? Also are they relatively easy to use? I don,t even know how to recall/store to a list in Prizm :P
-

Considering the code for plotting made my eyes hurt I wouldn't say it is easy. I was never able to get it to work properly as I only the plots, but not the lines to work.
How lists work (I may be wrong as I haven't done this in awhile) is 4->[2]list 1 will store 4 into slot 2, What I like best about Casio lists is that you can preform operations on the entire content with one command such as list 1 *2->list 1will take every element in list 1 and multiply by 2. I also enjoy having 99 lists and 26 matrices plus the ans matrix.
-
Hmm this sucks. I hope it's not bugged x.x Is it similar to the 83+ ones? And that sounds nice about list. On TI you can only do it with sum I think.
On TI calcs you can have infinite lists, but the ones besides the 6 official ones takes much more memory to call since you need to type the entire name.
-
It's not bugged because cfxm was able to get it to work, it's just that it is too complex for me to understand :P
Me and abstracted OS's don't go together well
-
Ah ok, but is it similar to the 83+?
-
I never tried plot commands before on the 83+ so I wouldn't know, but the commands I used were based off the lists where you just say graph plot List 1 (I'm just making up graph plot, I'm not sure what the real command is)
-
Ah ok. I guess if I get back into coding I could eventually give it a try. I hope they can be setup through programs, so it's less hassle for the user.
-
My first big program was a kind of "Bot". Awesome but also crap: The idea was good, but no one was interested to download it. Later I developed a click game, called "ClickIt" with highscore and multiplayer for two players. After that there was "LinHelp", a programm for linear functions and linear equations. Very nice, my math teacher was very impressed! And now I want to start my first real game, a RPG like Final Fantasy or Lufia.
-
My first calc program displayed "LOL" in the middle of the screen.
Then my first "real" program was a line drawing program. It was cool.
Now how do I turn AVI's into animated GIF's?
-
You can use VirtualDub, but be warned it only accepts a few avi files and gifs will be extremly large.
-
My first TI-BASIC program was a program to overload the calcs memory
:while 1
:Disp "Ha"
:progMEM
:End
-
[insert nspire header here]
disp "POKE POKE POKE HER FACE"
EndPrgm.
It did nothing but print "POKE POKE POKE HER FACE".
-
I'm now gonna expand this to any computer related languages as well :)
z80 assembly: first program for this was my really screwed up hello world program:
LD A,"Hello, World!"
OUT A
RET
I did this before reading past page 2 of the 28 days tutorial :P
Lua: I made a simple 3D game using LOGL, an OpenGL wrapper for Lua, and I am actually quite sad because I'm failing at finding a source example (or even an executable source file :/)
C/C++: A dysfunctional hello world program. No code example needed :P
Java: I actually learned enough about Java in 2 days and then took over for a week or two as our FIRST Robotic's FRC head robot programmer, and the source file(s) are way too long, it had >150 netbeans class files, each one at least on the average 300 lines. No true example, but as a hint it took 300 lines in the FRC_Main.java file to instantiate all of the instances like jaguars and solenoids and 50 other types of mechanical stuff x.x
Ruby: My really overdone quadratic solver that proved I'm a Ruby Tool:
Qvalue = lambda {|a, b, c|
Qlambda = lambda{|a, b, c, plus|
if plus; -b + Math.sqrt(b**2-(4*a*c)).div(2*a)
else;-b - Math.sqrt(b**2-(4*a*c)).div(2*a);end
}
if a == 0;nil;else
[Qlambda.call(a,b,c,true),Qlambda.call(a,b,c,nil)];end }
Args = Array.new(3);Names = ['A','B','C']
3.times do |location|
puts "Input: " << Names[location] << "?"
Args[location] = gets.chomp;end
Ans = Qvalue.call(Args[1].to_f.to_r,Args[2].to_f.to_r,Args[3].to_f.to_r)
if Ans;puts 'Answer is ' << Ans[0].to_s << ' and ' << Ans[1].to_s << ' '
else;puts 'No Real Answers';end
Damn that was fun to code :P
Prizm C While it's not a different language than C, it was my first honest attempt at trying to learn C, two years after the previous failure with C/C++. My first routine ever made was a somewhat-decently done routines that draws an Alpha-Coded sprite to the screen:
void AlphaSprite(short* data, int x, int y, int width, int height, char alpha) {
short* VRAM = (short*)0xA8000000;
int CurColor = 0;
VRAM += (LCD_WIDTH_PX*y)+x;
for(int j=y; j<y+height; j++) {
for(int i=x; i<x+width; i++) {
CurColor = (*(VRAM) + (alpha*(*(data++))/256))/2;
*(VRAM++) = CurColor % (65536);
}
VRAM += (LCD_WIDTH_PX-width);
}
}

My first ASM program basically said "THIS PROGRAM WILL NOT QUIT UNLESS YOU PRESS THE RIGHT BUTTON >:D" until you pressed the RIGHT button :P
My first Java program was a tic-tac-toe applet. I wrote it on paper because I didn't have access to a computer at the time. Never actually found out if it worked or not. Probably not.
My first Python program is DThought up there in Omnom ^^
-
My first on paper program was a python/C++ hybrid. I need to stop doing that it breaks things a lot, but it is a ncie exceptionally powerful idea
-
My first basic programs were just some random basic commads to see what they did...
My first real basic program was a maze game, which was lost when i had to reset my calc at my exam :(
For my first real asm program: I'm trying to port a 3D engine that i made in GML to ASM
-
My first Basic game was a space invaders like program. It actually ran pretty well
-
My maze game also worked pretty well. It was one of my two(yes, only 2) basic games that actually got finished. (most of them were lost when i had to reset my calc and i didn't knew you could transfer programs to your PC back then.
-
I lost my game when I upgrade my Nspires OS to 3.0.1(with TNOC thankfully). I also lost my factorization(optimized brute force) and prime finder(Fermats Theorem) program
-
My first program for calc was an Nspire blackjack game... it actually wan't too bad.
-
this was my first screenshot made from the calculator. It's one from my second basic game that ever finished, and the best basic program i ever made.
(http://www.picturestack.com/65/563/tCiSQUAREATTAbLi.bmp)
-
I've never made a screenie from my calc. I think I might have made one from wabbitemu but I lost that when I wiped out my windows install
-
My first TI-BASIC program: A mathematical simulation of Brownian motion/Random walk. Horribly coded.
My first Axe program: A 1-D cellular automata generator. Very slow, because I updated the screen after Every. Single. Pixel.
My first Prizm Program: A program to test overclocking. It almost bricked z80man's Prizm :D
-
wow Qwerty I scared to use your programs now
-
My first complete program in most programming languages is generally a Mandelbrot Set program, unless I'm taking a class on a new language, then its whatever the first assignment is.
-
I usually will right math programs now first(my C++/BASIc/Lua programs were all math)
C++=base conversion supporting all real numbers in the range {2,10}
Basic=Brute force factorization
Lua=prime testing
