== The TI-BASIC Compiler The TI-BASIC Compiler is all about compiling TI-BASIC code on your computer into an 8XP file ready for transferring to your TI-83/TI-83+/TI-84 calculator. Being able to type your programs instead of try and use the calculator's keypad is much easier :). == How to run the compiler? For most situations, just "drag and drop" the text file containing your code on top of the tibasic.exe file. A black window will appear for a split second and you should have an 8XP file next to your text file. If you feel comfortable using a command line, you can run tibasic.exe without any arguments to get usage information. == Important Note! There are a few symbols that could not be directly transferred to the language and were replaced instead with simpler tokens. Also note some of these are 'shorthand' versions of supported tokens: & --> 'and' | --> ' or ' ~ --> ' xor ' theta --> '[theta]' powers --> '^' (for instance, 5 squared would be '5^2') 'e' constant --> '[e]' Store --> '->' (same for such things as >DMS: ->DMS) Roots --> '[root]^' (for instance, square root would be '[root]^2') All Picture variables (Pic0 - Pic9) and String variables (Str0 - Str9) are CAPITALIZED (ie. STR0) Other shorthand versions for more obscure functions exist, to find these the source code is viewable (Develop tab on the SourceForge page). ----------------------------------------- As a final note, all support requests must go to either the 'Support Requests' tracker on the SourceForge page, or pcmattman@gmail.com (the email method usually gets a reply within 24 hours). The trackers are checked often so you can be assured that your request for help will be responded to. Happy programming!
