Problem Typing an Extended Line/Command in TI Basic

[+adamantyr]

Some of the best games ever are in that book. I'm still trying to figure out how Khoa Ton figured out how to digitize sound effects for Homebound...

Ben, do you want the files listed in the book? Or are you adventurous and want to type them in by hand.

Please send me them. I can be reached at:

Couple of quick bullet points:

 

First: FCTN on the TI is ALT on Classic99.

Second: FCTN-8 (REDO) recalls the last typed line but is an EXTENDED BASIC function. It doesn't work in TI BASIC.

Third: the most universal way to edit a line (works in both) is to type the line number and press FCTN X (down arrow) or FCTN E (up arrow). You can walk through the program by continuing to do so. You can only extend the line longer than 4 lines if you've already typed right up to the limit before pressing enter.

Fourth: multiple colons in PRINT do need to be spaced out in Extended BASIC but they don't need to be spaced in TI BASIC

Fifth: in Classic99 (not on a real TI) you can copy and paste long lines - copy from the source (or type in Notepad) then used Edit->PasteXB. This is recommended only for TI Extended BASIC, but you can test it in others and if it works, great!

Classic99 "PASTE" feature... Don't leave home without it.
