fpart()
takes the fraction part of a number
ie: fpart(6.25)=.25
Ipart does exactly the oppisite returning 6
but you will have to wait for Ed to explain the code its over my head

He lost me with that code you could try
Code:
For(A,2,16
Output(1,A,"A
Output(2,A-1,"B
Rand(6
Clrhome
end

First of all, try the program with the following two lines removed:
:If not(fPart(I/10) and fPart(I/15))
:ClrHome
As you can see, the point of the two lines above is to clear the screen before either letter moves.
But try the program with just :ClrHome, and not the If conditional. The problem with this is the letters are flickery, and the reason for this is when the program runs, the letters are cleared and redrawn 10 or 15 times before moving. Thus, we want to clear the screen only when the counter I is a multiple of 10 or 15.
Take a look at the commands fPart( and not( on TI-Basic Developer, and try and figure out how the :If conditional runs only when I is a multiple of 10 or 15.
http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/fpart
http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/not
By the way, in the future, when you encounter a command that you don't know of, I recommend looking it up on the TI-Basic Developer wiki before asking others in a forum. The wiki is a great resource, and a lot of work has been put into it. It would be a shame to put that work to waste by asking questions that perhaps the wiki could have answered for you.

Your code gives me a domain error at theline that ouptuts A
Code:
For(A,2,16
Output(1,A,"A
Output(2,A,"B
Rand(6

okay im pretty sure I get why the not() and fPart() work together, but why this?
For(I,16,240) ?
why these values? |

| Try changing 240 to 120. Or change 15 to 100. |

okay when you change 15 barely (by about 5 or so, but add 5, don't subtract) it does almost nothing. When set it as 100, It starts about halfway through the screen. When you change 240 to 120, it stops about halfway through the screen.
I can only guess that these are the pixel numbers for the screen? |

| They are the starting and ending values of I in the For loop. |
