TI-83/84/+/SE TI-Basic Routines List

[alexrudd]

Yeah, awesome if you can buy new calculators every time you use it. Basically, you get blue by overloading your LCD, which is such a good idea it's going straight to the top of this Routines list.

[luby]

it doesn't!!! it switches the contrast between high and low which your eyes interpret as blue.

[Xphoenix]

I dunno, according to the thread all you do is use xLib's contrast changer, which apparently does no harm... right?

I seriously don't even notice anything, I can get bluish screen but stting contrast to 9 and playing firetrack2.

Here, as an example of what this thread is supposed to prevent, I'll ask a question (that I really do want someone to answer):
"I'm too lazy to use the search button (but not too lazy to add in extra typing of asking this question), so, how do you get blue by overloading your LCD (not the contrast way)?" </Stupidity> ...okay, maybe not

[Xphoenix]

Why would anyone ask any type of question relating to color about BASIC??? (We're assuming that they're slightly n00bish since they didn't search)

[simplethinker]

thats mean. But, I actually did search, and all I keep finding about the blue scale is people saying switching contrast screws it up, and then people saying it doesn't. But I haven't seen one saying what really does mess it up, so I have to assume that the contrast does mess it up even though I don't see how...
but this is totally off-topic, so I'll shut up now

[elfprince13]

there are different ways of achieving blue. lcd test mode fries your screen. switching contrast quickly does not. end of discussion.

[theraven17]

I think linking to posts within this topic is a good idea as questions arrive.

[Xphoenix]

About the blue, an easy way to flash the screen is like:
[font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]
For(B,1,X
For(A,0,39
real(5,0,A
End
End

I went through the Math & Science, Miscellany, and Games categories to further reorganize the routine links, primarily replacing related post links in the same topic with just a link to the topic itself (*tip of the hat to Xphoenix*). In addition, I noticed some more duplicate sets of topics that should be deleted (Gamma Function, Displaying Fractions) and also removed Calculating Constants and replaced it with just the individual constants.

My list below is the routines that I changed the links for. When an admin sees this, can they please update the respective routines in the respective categories and then reply back. Thank you. (And if you see anything that I messed up on or could be improved further, please tell me.)

EDIT: I forgot to remove Simon Says, Lightning, Making Sudoku, and Making Memory off the Games list. In addition, the link for Lingo should be just to the topic and then you can change the name to Making Lingo, and Guessing Game was changed to the more appropriate Guess The Number. Sorry for all the trouble. :biggrin:

[Weregoose]

There were mistakes aplenty. ;)

Following the logic of your edits, I was able to finish everything past the second half of the first list at full speed, only I probably have to go back and replace some missing links for showtopic=25 (a disclaimer would have been nice).

Could you change the Brain Teasers link to point to the Brain Teasers forum?

EDIT: Thanks.
