Thanks, I was looking for videos so I could program a game into my friend's calculator and this was GREAT. I know I was a tad late to the whole calculator programming thing but, THANK YOU!
I was able to change a few numbers around and make it fit more on a 84 plus CE but the ball trail still there due to CE. you do very well in explaining the what and the why so thank you!
Moon Knight The TI84 and TI84 plus are different than the TI84 plus CE. That is because the TI84 plus CE has a entirely new screen that supports color.
+TechRedstone Because these are calculators. They only have a few KB for video. The screen was never meant for gaming. The ball leaving a trail is called "Ghosting" The GameBoy and GameBoy Pocket did it as well. Your problem isn't anything you did wrong, or bad code. It's very limited hardware. These calculators run hardware thats been around since the late 70s.
quick question- what do i do to fix this? every time the ball spawns, it moves to the left side of the screen and no matter where i move the paddle, the ball just goes straight through it. other than that, the game's pretty impressive
Hi there, when I try to use the LN and STO keys as well as the + and - keys, it immediately exits pong and writes ln, sto, =, or - in my normal calculator. Solutions? thanks
Okay, so when I start it up it all works, except the ball doesn't move and if I click a button (+ for example) it exits the screen and puts + like I want to solve something.
I've been optimizing the game for the last few math classes instead of studying logarithms and I've run into a problem: I can't figure out how to increase paddle speed. I have a hunch it's in the functions immediately after the getKey->G, but I'm not completely sure. Help please?
This does work on the ti83 but there is some things to know... It is much slower than it is shown here (possibly because he might be using a newer calculator) and the black background never fills the entire screen. Also if the paddles go offscreen you get an error. So yeah...I guess if you like super slow pong you can play this.
Everything is good, except the fact that the ball moves up and down, not side to side or diagonally. so really, it's kind of useless, but fun to watch! EDIT: redid the entire program, works just fine!
tengo una pregunta, pero no es sobre la aplicacion del video. yo creo aplicaciones para mi universidad, pero cuando las respuestas son largas, o necesito que salgan varias respuestas, no puedo ver todo en la pantalla. Esta es mi pregunta... talvez hay algun comando para hacer que pueda desplazar las respuestas para poder verlas?. Agradeceria cualquier ayuda que me brinde. (psdta esto es un texto en español que esta traducido en google)......... I have a question , but not on the application of video. I think my college applications , but when the answers are long, or need to leave several answers , I can not see everything on the screen . This is my question ... maybe there is some command to make can move the answers to see them ?. I appreciate any help you give me . ( Psdta this is a text in Spanish that this translated into google )
the right paddle works fine but when i use LN or STO-> to move the left one, the screen goes white and stops working. when i do the goto it takes me to :PxL-On(A-1,0) please help me.
That means that you're drawing a pixel off the screen somewhere. It's probably on of the paddles or the ball. Make sure you have the EXACT code that I have and it should be fine.
the program only appears in the top left 1/4 of the screen, and wherever the ball moves, a blue line is left behind it. therefore when playing, at some point most of the screen is blue. P.S. i am using a TI-84 C silver Edition
When I try to play, it plays correctly, slower than I would like, but when I try to make the left paddle go to the top of the screen, I get ERR:DOMAIN :Pxl-On(A+10,0) Same issue for the right paddle :Pxl-On(B-1,94
this is good but for the people who aren't getting it right it might help to put a list of the code so they don't have to re watch the video but overall your instructions were great
i entered everything correctly but when i start the program its says err:domain and when i press goto it take me to the line that says pxl-off(b+p,94 i tried it both with a closed and open parenthesis. please help
I have everything coded exactly like you, but as soon as the program starts to run it says ERR: DOMAIN and when I click Goto it takes me to Pxl-On(B-1,94
Where on earth did you find that code OR did you make it yourself? I just wonder what it says on the programs of those games that get downloaded straight to the ti-xx calculators. hmmm.
Thanks now I can wow my algebra classmates and potentially procrastinate in perfect secrecy
this is what i did too XD
bro can u just write out the code so that I can check the coding???
Hey, great game. One quick question, how would you make the ball larger?
Thanks, I was looking for videos so I could program a game into my friend's calculator and this was GREAT. I know I was a tad late to the whole calculator programming thing but, THANK YOU!
Great video. Works great!
Is there a way to make the paddles/ball go faster?
Thats my problem as well
Probably not, we are talking about a cpu that’s the equivalent to the power of a home computer from the mid 80s
And also it’s because of the operating system, basic is an interpreted language and thus requires a ton of horsepower to run quickly
@@palemacaroon4836 Couldn't you make the paddles move by 2 pixels though? it wouldn't be as smooth but it would work
I was able to change a few numbers around and make it fit more on a 84 plus CE but the ball trail still there due to CE. you do very well in explaining the what and the why so thank you!
Nice program. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! It works great!
Thanks man, really works
lol did all of this thinking it was pacman
how would you change the movement speed of the paddles
on my ti84 plus ce:
> game is tiny
> ball is slow
> ball leaves a trail behind it
> the screen is filled in with lines
+TechRedstone Mine does that too :(
The title says ti83 and 84
Moon Knight The TI84 and TI84 plus are different than the TI84 plus CE. That is because the TI84 plus CE has a entirely new screen that supports color.
+TechRedstone Because these are calculators. They only have a few KB for video. The screen was never meant for gaming. The ball leaving a trail is called "Ghosting" The GameBoy and GameBoy Pocket did it as well.
Your problem isn't anything you did wrong, or bad code. It's very limited hardware. These calculators run hardware thats been around since the late 70s.
What means Error:Syntax?
Fixed my problem xD forgot a line of code… works great thanks!!!
Works great!
Plus make more
i got everything to work finaly but both the ball and the paddle leave trails so i cant tell where they are
How do you move the paddles up and down?
It works for me, but it is really small.
What window should I set my x and y to?
ur awesome dude keep up the good work and could u plz make more games for ti 84 like falldown or a maze or something thx
You can use 2nd and than Format (ZOOM) To access a whole bunch of stuff including AxesOn/Off
I feel awesome now.
cool video but when I start it up the screen freezes just when the pong ball is about to hit the left paddle. any tips?
Is there anyway to make it work better on a Ti-84 C? My game only fills up a quarter of the screen and the paddles move too slowly
quick question- what do i do to fix this? every time the ball spawns, it moves to the left side of the screen and no matter where i move the paddle, the ball just goes straight through it. other than that, the game's pretty impressive
Is it possible to make the ball any bigger in size and also the bars a little thicker?
what buttons do you press to get to the screen at 2:42 to put in the while loop?
press PRGM
Hi there, when I try to use the LN and STO keys as well as the + and - keys, it immediately exits pong and writes ln, sto, =, or - in my normal calculator. Solutions?
thanks
Elliott Triebenbacher idk sAme with me
Where is the arrow icon at the start of the video?
the right paddle moves up but when I try to move it downward it just gets longer how can I fix this please
This may be late but I was wondering just how to make the ball bigger because it's hard to see
when i press the control bottuns in the game it enters it as a text
Is there a way to make it faster like the ball because I just entered snake on to my calculator and the snake moves fast
where do you find the end repeat thing?
Hey when i run it the screen stars to get covered from left to right and the panels or pong paddles glitch in the top right corner
Okay, so when I start it up it all works, except the ball doesn't move and if I click a button (+ for example) it exits the screen and puts + like I want to solve something.
chris lockaby lol same
same
same
Same
same
is there any way I can change the movement speed of the paddles? for example, make them move up on an interval of 2
I think you can use ran(100 to make it wait a second, but idk
I've been optimizing the game for the last few math classes instead of studying logarithms and I've run into a problem: I can't figure out how to increase paddle speed.
I have a hunch it's in the functions immediately after the getKey->G, but I'm not completely sure.
Help please?
Magikarp Used Splash the span of code after the get key controls the paddle. Maybe put another +(g=91) after the first one?
This does work on the ti83 but there is some things to know...
It is much slower than it is shown here (possibly because he might be using a newer calculator) and the black background never fills the entire screen.
Also if the paddles go offscreen you get an error. So yeah...I guess if you like super slow pong you can play this.
Is it possible to make the ball bigger? I have the TI-82 Stats, and you can't even see the ball because it's so tiny...
Everything is good, except the fact that the ball moves up and down, not side to side or diagonally. so really, it's kind of useless, but fun to watch!
EDIT: redid the entire program, works just fine!

It works but every time The paddle goes off the screen it crashes and it slow
How do you do the arrow on a calculator
the right paddle works fine but when i use LN or STO-> to move the left one, the screen goes white and stops working. when i do the goto it takes me to
:PxL-On(A-1,0)
please help me.
Nice Job! Can you tell me how to make the ball go a bit faster? What is your speed variable
How do you make the ball larger
What are the controls on a regular ti-83 it works on my plus but not friends regular 83
Whenever my paddle goes to high or to low then I get a domain error
Me too it's weird tho I did exactly what he said I even went back in the video to check
That means that you're drawing a pixel off the screen somewhere. It's probably on of the paddles or the ball. Make sure you have the EXACT code that I have and it should be fine.
the program only appears in the top left 1/4 of the screen, and wherever the ball moves, a blue line is left behind it. therefore when playing, at some point most of the screen is blue.
P.S. i am using a TI-84 C silver Edition
Works like a snail on my TI-83+, gonna try to make it black-on-white instead.
Which portion(s) of the code control the ball?
How do you insert a "while" functoin/loop?
Is there any way to make the ball bigger??
How do I get to the While 1 menu
When I try to play, it plays correctly, slower than I would like, but when I try to make the left paddle go to the top of the screen, I get
ERR:DOMAIN
:Pxl-On(A+10,0)
Same issue for the right paddle
:Pxl-On(B-1,94
Wow, I didn't know someone was posting ti videos the same time I was. You're working with pixel graphics? Awesome!
Thanks! It's really simpler than it looks.
My problem is when I enter the program its loads then goes to error syntax and when i click goto its sends me to then.
this is good but for the people who aren't getting it right it might help to put a list of the code so they don't have to re watch the video but overall your instructions were great
2:19 how did you put down the comma?
What's the move button?
i entered everything correctly but when i start the program its says err:domain
and when i press goto it take me to the line that says pxl-off(b+p,94
i tried it both with a closed and open parenthesis. please help
i have a TI-83+ and I dont know how I can make a negative
It works fine, but is there a way to speed up the ball? It's to slow for there to be skill involved.
Can you remake it so that it goes faster and be able to hold down a button so it can move faster
How to move the paddles?
After the program draws pong the program ends there how do i fix that
my bat on the right when it hits the ball it loses a point anyway i know im late but i need help
the ball goes right though the paddle and gives the other team a point
check all the if statements and the "a-(g=81..." stuff
Help whenever the ball touches the walls it says ERR:DOMAIN and when I press Goto it takes me to “Pxl-Off(Y,X)”
Thx ima sub now
Where you storing as the letter or the x under mode
Does it work for. 83 plus?
how would you turn up the ball speed?
The ball isn't moving on mine! Thank's for the video btw; this is the first programming i've ever done.
The ball keeps going through the right panel
You would need to make new variables for moving speed. But the way I made the if statements, you would need to reconfigure in order to change that
pj6444 please help me
Every time I want to start it, it says error syntax. When I press go to i have shade(0.62). (Ti-84 plus ce-t)
how do you put the arrows
so everything works fine except the right side doesnt bounce the ball back
My paddles won't move how do I move them ?
mine goes slowly
typed in the exact dimensions and says the dimensions are invalid
Worked for me I have a ti-83 (not a plus).
Do I edit f and e to make the ball bigger
Where’s the CTL at 2:44 on a TI-83 Plus?
It's the pgrm button
the left panel won't move downwards
I'm having an window range error
I'm on the ti-83 plus
Where is the speed for the dot
My ball isn't moving and I can't control my paddles is there a step I missed? (This is my first time programming btw)
Everything works but the cruser I can't move it up or down
The only way to score on the right side is if the paddle gets hit, otherwise it just bounces off the wall, help?
same thing happened to me if the ball hit the left paddle the right paddle gets a point
The game doesn't work on my calculator. I have a TI-84 + CE. Does that have anything to do with it? If so, what can I do to fix it?
When it says error I press go-to and it says -2 stored into E I don't understand I have a ti 84 plus ce
for some stupid reason it plays in the top left of my screen... and the ball leaves a line behind it
same!
I have everything coded exactly like you, but as soon as the program starts to run it says ERR: DOMAIN and when I click Goto it takes me to Pxl-On(B-1,94
it's great and all but what if a want to graph something.
Where on earth did you find that code OR did you make it yourself? I just wonder what it says on the programs of those games that get downloaded straight to the ti-xx calculators. hmmm.
Every time I start it it says ERR: DOMAIN what do I do?
does it work on TI 84 Plus T ?
