My TI Basic Programs

Why do I use .tibasic files?

In this repository are only Source Code Files instead of your typical compiled .8xp files for your TI Calculator. I have made this decision to have the freedom to edit my ti basic programs in any text editor. In my eyes, using the proprietary, official TI Connect CE Editor is just a big pain. And don't even talk about programming directly on your TI-84.

In short, using Source Code Files makes editing and sharing easier and better.

Compiling

There is an unmaintained FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) Project on Sourceforge to compile Source Code Files to executable .8xp files. There is only an official release Package for Windows, but as far as I tested it, it also worked perfectly in wine:

wine [path to your .exe]/tibasic.exe [filename]

GNU/Linux Mentions

To fully programm and connect your TI Calculator only using GNU/Linux, you can use a programm called TILP ('Tilp Is a Linking Program') to put your compiled .8xp files on your TI Calculator. On Arch Linux, there is an AUR Package available (simply called tilp).
