Description

Ok, so this is my first TI-BASIC tutorial. In this tutorial you will learn how to create a very simple slot machine, so you can entertain yourself in math class You will need at least a TI 83 Calculator.

Try it out

Ok, first create a new program called 'SLOT MACHINE'. Hit the enter key.

Now input the following code.



**EDIT** (Sorry, I didn't have enough time to finish this yesterday)

Ok, now exit the program editing screen, and run the program.

You have created your first TI-Basic slot machine! You may be wondering how to stop the slots. Simply hit the 'On' button while the program is running. It will force the program to error. It will ask you to quit, do it. After you quit, you will see whatever numbers you stopped the slot machine on. To run it again, simply hit enter.

Very nice Kansuke, I advise though using a better form of stopping it. Also, labels suck in Ti-BASIC. They can cause the calculator to output an error message.

Here is a little better version of the code.


EDIT: Fixed Output statements

Thanks man! I wasn't quite sure how to use the Enter Key to get it to stop... I kind of just figured out how to do this by messing around with stuff and learning how to use the output command XD

No problem! You use getKey to retrieve a key value and you compare the key value from getKey with a key value of a certain button using an if statement. I've made a few neat games using getKey and the Graph.
