How Do I Program Games For MirageOS?

Question

I have a TI-84 SE Calculator and have the latest Version of MirageOS and I'm wanting to know how do make games to put on it?

Answer 1

Hi, it doesn't seem like the previous answers helped all that much, considering you don't need C# or JAVA for MirageOS.

Well if you want to make games, you're going to have to learn a programming language. The default language for a TI calculator is usually TI-BASIC, which seems pretty simple, but not very powerful. While it is still possible to make games with it, it would be harder for a complete novice than someone with prior programming experience.

A more powerful language for these types of calculators is ASM (or assembly language). ASM is much much harder for someone to learn, but has a much greater control over the calculator than TI-BASIC.

So to make games, you'll have to learn either of these. The TI-84SE already has a TI-BASIC editor built in (by going to Prgm > New), so you can start programming right away.

I would recommend that you search for "TI-BASIC" tutorials on Google, and once you get the feel for it, you can start making games.

Good luck.
