Title: 68k BASIC tutorial
Post by: Princetonlion.tibd on June 07, 2014, 07:33:30 pm

I will get a Voyage 200 for programming soon (next Tuesday) . I couldn't find any tutorials for 68k BASIC online. Can anyone help me? I really want to learn 68k BASIC so I can make some programs.

Thanks.

P.S. For all of you guys that follow the dodge BETA progress: If I get good enough I might port dodge.

The TI-BASIC Developer wiki has a big section dedicated to 68k calcs. You'll find it's somewhat similar to nspire basic, but a fair amount faster and with more useful programming commands.

Yeah, essentially same language, far superior implementation and an actual standard lib.

This might also be helpful, although they're much older: http://tifreakware.net/tutorials/89/b/

Thanks guys
I did find it similar to N-spire BASIC, if my friend is accurate.

It's extremely similar, especially to the CAS models.

Very true. It's basically Nspire BASIC on steroids (with many more features that got removed on the Nspire)

I didn't run into new features; could you give some of the major ones?

You mean former features? An example of 68K BASIC feature that went missing on the TI-Nspire is Getkey and pretty much every other command that can let you make a decent game (IIRC, at first, the Nspire was intended to eliminate calc gaming until TI finally changed their mind). :P

Also, any recommended shells (or not)?

The V200 is coming tomorrow! Then I'll start programming.

bump

Ok, I suck to the point of where making a guessing game is hard.
So I'm going smoothly so far, so thanks for the help
