Program pong on the ti-84 plus CE 

Thank you so much! I’m 35 and I’m interested in teaching myself how to code and learning basics like this help out a lot to understand the basics if I press X does Y in coding through graphing characteristics!

To FIX the Game crashing when the ball hits the Paddle, make the following changes: Under the line "IF X=26", change 1→C to -1→C (negate not minus) Under the line "1→L", change 1→D to -1→D The X,Y direction is to be negated when it hits the higher boundaries. The Pastbin code doesn't have the negatives, but the video does And for it to work on TI-84 Plus, change references 10 to 8 and 26 to 16, also P

Thank you!! This is by far the best version of pong you can make using ti basic!

It took a couple of tweaks but this was so awesome! I subbed too!

This is awesome, it feels so much better to have typed in the code myself rather than downloading games online

This is great! I had a bit of trouble early on but I got it fixed and it works perfectly! Thank you for the excellent tutorial, and you just got another subscriber.

This is so cool! I had a lot of errors but retyping the code and finding comments really helped! If it isn’t working I recommend just completely restarting as it’s faster than finding the bug normally

Thank you so much! It’s the best way to learn how to use my new calculator, it’s no so scary anymore!

I had a lot of fun with this. It’s pretty impressive and I learned from this. I hope to be able to come up with more games on my own

Ty for all these amazing tutorials and additional help in the comments!

Totally worked so cool thanks a lot It was hard and time consuming but we pulled through 💯

i screwed up somewhere

If you don't have the "Wait" function, then the problem is that you are running an old version of the OS. To fix this, make sure that you have TIConnect installed on your computer and that you have the link cable / charging cable for your calculator in order to connect it to the computer. You want to go online and find a newer OS. To find what OS is currently installed on your calculator, press: 2nd, +, 1 The second line should be your OS version. When choosing a new OS version, I would choose 5.3.0, as that is one of the last versions that has support for running assembly programs on the calculator. This support was removed in later versions of the OS. Once you have the file for the OS on your computer, connect your calculator to the computer while the TIConnect application is open. Make sure to back up anything you want to save on the calculator before proceeding, because installing a new OS will clear your ram. Next you want to drag the os file onto the name of your calculator in the TIConnect application. It will ask if you want to proceed with installation. Click yes. The calculator will take about a minute to install the OS. Afterwards you will have many new features on the calculator, including the Wait function.

I did this on my brother's calculator and it worked perfectly it is awesome

5:30 I didn't have a "wait" command, what could I do instead?

I learned to program on TI85, TI86 & TI89 over 20 years ago when in middle~high school, they were & are GREAT! platforms to learn how to program, I first learned with TI Basic them learned Z80 then MC68k asm. It was an unfortunate decision for TI to disable the TI84 plus CE asm capability.

Awesome! This is so much better than the other version.

I have a TI-84 Plus CE and the Wait command doesn’t exist. Can someone please help me?

Great video was wondering if you could do one on snake

when im select speed there automaticaly say me game over score 0

I have two questions, 1: For some reason, when the ball hits the right side of the screen, it stops. It says the line [Output(Y,X,0] is the issue. I checked over, and I'm fairly certain I got everything right. 2: I saw when looking through the program list that you could activate a program. How would I need to change it if I wanted to make a restart button?

New to programing. it worked first try, it was awesome thank you!

Whenever i play the 0's just stay on screen after the ball moves

My zero keep trailing each other as is it were a chaos theory test

How would I add a high score function into the code.i would like to have an easy way to remember the score

We need more vids bro these are so cool 😎!!!

Works great on the TI-84 Plus CE-T too

I’m done coding and when I play the ball always goes through the platform. Do u know how to fix that?

thanks for the good video from germany :)

i got a error domain says value entered is not allowed in the function or command. ex: radian mode and degree mode what do i do? when i press goto it takes me to program line 33

OMG IT WORKS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I SUBBED!!!

Im unable to move the thing! im trying to move using the arrows but it isnt moving.

Great tutorial!

I have an error where when the ball hits the paddle i get a Domain error and when I select Goto it brings me to the line Output(Y,X,0

why does the ball make a line when it is moving

if you dont have wait then just dont write any thing before ((10-A)/100 it would work

The ball is only staying at top moving side to side could you please help

I’m having trouble on the line with wait (( 10-a)/100 because my calculator shows up is> not wait

still having the "output(Y, X, 0" issue, used code in description to make :(

How come the wait function isn’t on mine?

Edit: this was actually my bad, I forgot one space. THIS IS AMAZINGGGGGG, TYSM

Could you explain what line 31 and line 32 was doing ? Also, I am not familiar with the syntax how what P-2(G=24 and P>1-->P was doing. It looked quite convoluted there. I am thinking if it could mean : If G = 24 and P>1 , then P -2 -> P ?

I programed the whole thing and double checked all the lines twice but my paddle won't move. Do you know why?

The ball just goes through the 4 minus signs and when it does it also doesn’t show my scrore

THANK YOUUUUU

I can only get score of one since it automatically gets game over after the ball hits the bar

My ball wont move is there a way to fix that??

I have a problem were when i lose it says "Variable used is not currently defined", i looked over the code and nothing seems wrong, and the GoTo brings me to the last Output line

it wont work it just says error syntax

Hi this is kashif when I tried to put in Wait into my ti-84 when I scrolled down it showed me IS>( instead of

This video is awesome

When I execute program I can hit the ball off the paddle once, but then once the ball hits the top of the screen, it says "error: domain, Value entered is not allowed in the function or command. Ex: Radian Mode tan (pi/2) Degree Mode e^(pi/2*i)" I have no experience with coding and looking for a fix. I cant find it when i go over the code.

When I made this and tested it I realized my paddle tail expands every time I press left or right, and I don't know if the paddle is supposed to lose a part of itself when the ball hits that specific spot. Is there any way of fixing this? I have a TI-84 Plus, and I don't know what lines of code I'm supposed to alter. I'm confuzzled

hey i just tried this and it works great!! my only issue is that whenever my paddle hits the right side of the screen and i starts to move it to the left side it leaves a trail. i made sure to go back and add the 4 spaces but that didn’t fix it, do you have any suggestions?

the paddle isn't collidable for some reason can pls someone help me

When I enter the speed at the beginning of the game my calculator shows an error, is there any way this can be fixed?

This is great btw how do i get the paddle to move faster

I messed up somehow i typed the program how you said but when i run the program it gives me syntax errors

This is cool

You can code games.....on a calculator?

does anyone know how to fix domain error? it popped up and its where :Output(10,P,"---- is

how do I fix it when the ball hits the sides and it says error: domain. Edit: Found it. Forgot the -1[arrow]c and -1[arrow]d Subbed!

Yo we need more of these =

ok it works now, thanks

how come when the ball hits the paddle i get an error

I can't move the paddle to the right!

When I run it at 10 it makes it super fast like it lags

How can u stop it from buffering

When I run the program the ball moves at 1 frame per year. I have the TI-84 Plus CE Python

I’m using the same calculator but I cant find wait, can someone help?

he was so fast

the ball duplicates its self while moveing pls help

I've checked over many times, but when it hits the paddle I get an error and it puts me to output(y,x,0. please help!!

I accidentally deleted a line in the code and I can't add a new one. how do I fix this?

I have an error, "Value entered is not allowed in the function or command." Goto brings me to Output(Y,X,0 . How do I solve this?

I am having a problem where the back of my paddle isn't deleting as it moves, any idea what I did wrong?

How do you make the paddle longer

Whenever I enter the speed I get an error code that leads me to line 33( :Output(10,P,"---- ) I have rewatched the video, and read the description twice, but I can't find a problem with any of my code. ( If it helps the error code is: ) Value entered is not allowed in the function or command. Ex: RADIAN MODE tan((pi)/2) DEGREE MODE e^((pi)/2*j)

could you tell me what program text sources you are using?

Whenever I run the program only the paddle pops up for a second then it’s an error. It’s saying the error is on the last “End” command, any ideas how to fix it?

I Double checked all and it still says error syntax:(

when the ball hits the paddle it sas error and I goes to the output(y,x,0. part. help please?????????

that is impressiveb

coolio Edit: I just saw that someone hearted a comment there was a notification and I came here and I remembered everything that happened I coded this into my calculator

I'm on the TI-84 Plus CE and I don't have the Wait option what do I do?

The ball just goes through the paddle for me

Whenever the ball hits the side I get error syntax?

Mine says memory insufficient to preform the calculations check infinite recursions or loops plz help asap

The ball has a permanent trail behind its self. How do I fix this? What line would the mistake be on?

Hey Im on a TI-84 plus not the CE and my code did not wok, I think its because the "Wait" command in PGRM -> CTL is not a present funtion of the TI-84 plus

I double checked the code twice- and there is an issue i have. The ball goes the line above the paddle and then goes back onto it. Any fix? @Calculator Guy And im using the ti84 plus ce

15:46 My best is 50. I had to wipe my calculator for school, but it worked first try (again)!

The ball just goes thru my paddle. How do i fix it?

I have to add another enter in the code because of a mistake how do I do this?

how do you put an end on the program at around 8:17?

Everytime it hits the top it give me a error what do i do

I have a python and it doesn’t work. My calculator is a TI-84 Plus CE. Please help!

when i start the program it already says game over

My ball moves really fast, can you slow it down some way? I have a plus ce-t.

I have a bunch of zeros going everywhere and I can't play it without loosing almost immediately. How do I fix it?
