Writing TI-BASIC on Computer...


Question

hi, lately i've been making some basic programs on my TI-84 plus for my probability class. i find it very difficult to program on the calc itself, so are there any programs out there for windows that can let me write and compile ti-basic programs? (.8xp or whatever the file extension is). also, can i use Microsoft Visual basic, as it's already installed? thanks!

^-- Above is right just use TI-Connect to move files on/off the calculator...

Get your hands on the ' TI-SmartView Emulator Software for the TI-84 Plus Family ', it runs the calculator on your computar, lets you type in the calculator with your keyboard, and you can even make files with notepad and transfer them to the virtual calc or get files off of the virtual calculator.

You definitely can't use Microsoft Visual Basic as it's a completely different language and not supported by any TI calculator.

ok, thanks. i know almost nothing about this, so i thought the fact that they both had BASIC in the name meant they were the same language or something...haha

TI-BASIC is an interpreted language for calculators with lots of built-in math functions and not much else. Calculator games like

are actually written in assembly.

Visual Basic is a general-purpose programming language running on top of the .NET framework, similar to C#. If you're interested in programming in general I encourage you to switch a more powerful language like VB as soon as possible.

For the record, I started with TI-BASIC too. :)

well i'm not really that interested in any programming language, i just wanted a faster way to make programs for the calculator. anything i make just does some simple algebra that would otherwise take twice as long. i am taking a C++ class, though

    • I contacted 0patch and I'm trying to work with it, this is new to me, but I'll figure it before EOL and then get a 5 year patches for € 125. My acer laptop is 6 years old but still going strong, I can maintain it myself; with the help of IFixit, Acer Aspire 7 fully loaded
    • Since win 95 I never used system sound; only the first time to check if the sound card works; after that no annoying click sounds and whistles on every key stroke or every notification. That's why I have my taskbar on top, you'll notice the notification center way sooner at the top right than at the bottom right.
    • 6000MT/s is the sweet spot for DDR5, so then you would be thinking about cache latency, and again CL30 (or lower) is great but don't take my word for it here is a guide I used on my own system with 64GB Kingston Fury CL36 6000 now running at CL30 https://www.patreon.com/posts/low-effort-rank-77403831
    • Here is a list of Samsung Galaxy watches that won't be supported after September 2025 by Sayan Sen Samsung Gear S3 Samsung has confirmed that support for its Tizen-powered smartwatches will officially end in September 2025. The decision marks the final phase of a gradual wind-down process that began last year and reflects the company’s strategic shift toward its Wear OS–powered devices from its own in-house Tizen. If you recall, the South Korean giant began moving away from it back in 2021. The phase-out started on September 30, 2024, when the Galaxy Store stopped offering paid content for Tizen devices. This was followed by another key deadline on May 31, 2025, when new downloads of free Tizen content were disabled. Finally, by the end of September 2025 later this year, users will no longer be able to re-download any previously purchased content via the Galaxy Store. At the time, Samsung had shared the following timeline in an official "Tizen Watch Service Termination Schedule" notice as it wrote: While Samsung has not specified the list of affected wearable devices that will no longer receive Tizen support after September 2025, the following products are likely to be getting the axe: Galaxy Gear Series Samsung Galaxy Gear (Original model) Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 Samsung Gear S3 Classic Samsung Gear S3 Frontier Galaxy Watch Series (Tizen-based) Samsung Galaxy Watch (First Generation / Galaxy Watch 1) Samsung Galaxy Watch Active Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Thus, devices launched after the Galaxy Watch3, including the Galaxy Watch4 series and subsequent models, are built on Wear OS and remain unaffected by this transition. On the flip side, Samsung is not planning to switch to Google TV for its TVs, as these still come preloaded with its own Tizen OS, and even offer seven years of support.
