Yep, as the title say's im new to TI scripting Laughing , and i need some help. I'm making a text based rpg, like where you have a ton of menu's, no grafx like that. (And I only have a TI-83, not plus Sad ) Anyways, as I said im new, and im trying to make a money system, like a string or something, and I think that goes under the LIST section. Once again im new so im probably wrong. Neutral Anyways, I need to have a system where you can add money to the stockpile, take out money (like buy things) and see the money. So any help with those scripts would be really appreciated! Laughing Thanks!

BTW, i only started scripting on my TI-83 a few weeks ago... and I taught myself the language.. only read a few things in the manual Laughing Maybe I should read some more...

A string cannot go under the list section. Laughing

You could save the money in a variable, a string or probably the best, a list because it has less chances to get deleted.

L = small L in the catalog

to view a list:

Code:
disp LMONEY


to create a list:

Code:
{121}->LMONEY


hope this helps

Change the 0 for the value you want to have.

Okay, why use a list? You could just use variables. Like, if it's a store, then say you're selling bananas, then price of bananas could be set and the # of bananas could be variable "B". That's a lot easier, and you could use LRPG for a save file.

Variables save time in writing the program and execution time, Lists make the deletion of the variables faster. I.e. Deletevar ADeleteVarB...etc OR DeleteVarL1

Actually, that would give you an error too. What you have to do is LMoney(1) + amount to add -> LMoney(1)

You don't need to set a variable, they're already pre-set (if you got an 83 anyway). Just store your number to your variable and you're set.

Well I think he meant how to set it to a different number.

You just put number -> variable (A, B...Z, theta)

some more about lists
anyting after // is a comment:
{20->LMONEY //20 in the first element
LMONEY(1)+40->LMONEY(1 //add 40 to the first element
40->LMONEY(2 //store 40 in the second element
LMONEY(1)+LMONEY(2->LMONEY(3 //add the first 2 elements and put it in the 3rd element

some things to note:
if you use the 40->LMONEY(number
then number cannot be more than the dimensions (the number of elements) plus 1...
so if i have a list with 11, elements, i could to 3->LMONEY(12
but i couldnt do 46->LMONEY(14

lists can have up to 999 elements
