TI-BASIC Snake Program Part 3

[@fensterputzer6525]

Such a great Video. Well done! Now I can Play Snake in the School. You explain very good. Thank you very much.

[@zadomspremni05]

If you want to make it say game over when you lose, make a new line after end and type, pause "Game over"

[@bouji9501]

On your GitHub Gist revision what is the vertical line behind the E on the last code line? Also my snake dies when I hit the bottom of the screen. Please help

I just did the round( ins te and but my snake still dies when I hit the bottom

[@kallewalfridson6006]

Can I reset the leaderboards in one command? Or do I have to put 0->L6(n). With all the different positions of numbers?

[@electrobuzz.]

I think by doing fill(0, L6

[@ChozoSR388]

I know this is like really old by now, but I've been playing around with this over the past few weeks since I first watched it, and I've expanded and improved the score listing and how the scores are stored; I used a 20x13 matrix to store up to 20 games' worth of top 10 highscores and made a custom list, SCOR, to retrieve, display, and store the scores in the matrix at (θ,A), where θ is the row of the matrix that a game's scores reside, and A is the column of row θ that the data occupies. θ is assigned at the beginning of the score display section prior to accessing the matrix to populate LSCOR.

[@bryanfong6070]

By chance could you tell me what calculator you’re running this on?

[@electrobuzz.]

Hello, amazing and super clear tutorial!! But is there a way of making a replay button? I searched for a little while but couldn't figure it out

[@Kitty-hx2pr]

It should be easy to add a Lbl to the top and add a menu to the bottom. Syntax is as follows: At the very top of the code: Lbl A At the bottom of the code: Menu("Replay?", "Yes", A, "No", B) Lbl B I'm using a TI-84 Plus CE for this so things might be a bit different, but assuming you're using the calculator in the video it should be the same.

[@electrobuzz.]

@@Kitty-hx2pr Thank you! But I recently found out that you can restart a program simply by pressing "Enter". But I'll definitely try this out in future programs!

[@Kitty-hx2pr]

When my snake touches the middle of the screen it dies what do I do?

[@iamrewsii1318]

I get a DIM Error for the ":If L>L6(5:Then" is there something I did wrong?

[@austin-multicellular]

same

[@austin-multicellular]

Ok, I found another comment with the solution, you have to press stat on your home screen, hit edit, scroll right to L6, and fill every value with 1, and it should work

for some reason the snake keeps on growing even when i dont eat a pellet is there a fix for this?

You might have an END in the wrong place. Thats what happened to me before

I have a problem at where you put in the food. it says error:domain and it leads me to Output(B,A,"* the space after the asterisk is where my cursor is at. can someone please help? I copied the code from the gisthub and went over it thrice, and it is still wrong!!

[@leo57575]

Is there any way to add multiple apples and is there a way to make the snake move faster?

[@jook7881]

It works completely 100% fine. It’s just incredibly slow and delayed on my calculator. Is there anyway to fix that? I have tons of space on my calculator.

[@calcutronplus_se8623]

Unfortunately, TI-BASIC runs pretty slowly on these calculators, but there are still some things you can do to make it faster. Here's what I would try first: 1. Switch your calculator to CLASSIC Mode. If you're using a TI-84 with the most recent OS (2.55 MP), the default mode is MATHPRINT. This makes typing math look "pretty", but it slows down home screen display operations a lot. To switch it off, hit [mode] and scroll down until you see MATHPRINT and CLASSIC on the second screen. You can also change it to classic by evaluating the CLASSIC command in the catalog 2. Garbage collect. You can find the GarbageCollect command in the catalog. Hit [2nd] [0] [tan] [enter] [enter] and it should garbage collect. If this takes a few seconds, that means it has memory management to do and should result in a speed-up 3. Make sure the program is correct. Sometimes bugs either in my program or in your copy can cause major slow-downs. The calculator you're using will also impact speeds. TI-83s are on the slow end, but you should be fine with anything other than the TI-84 Color SE, which is really slow. My favorite is the TI-84 Pocket fr, but the TI-84 CE is also pretty good.

[@yeety1208]

@@calcutronplus_se8623 thanks my ti-83 plus has no 'classic' mode but using garbagecollect made it double the speed it was

[@alloftheabove123productions]

Great tutorial!! 👍 But I think there may be a bug, when we set length to 2, it should be 1, because if the length variable starts out at 2 the snake technically starts out with a length of 1 and then eats a apple immediately after so that means that it will think the snake is 1 length longer than what it is. To sum it up I believe you have to initially set length to 1. Please let me know if you agree or tell me your thoughts.

[@ChozoSR388]

I set it up to where the score (in my case, Z) is set to L - 2, as the initial length is 2, so, I took that initial length off to avoid giving the player an artificially inflated score.

[@w7s]

It’s not working, it’s saying I have the wrong SYNTAX, how can I fix this?

[@OptimusSkiver]

I followed along very closely, and my implementation came out to be 498. The mind goblins must be up to shenanigans

[@williamdeadstar3398]

For some reason my snake is going way too fast and when i die it's says 'error'. And i think it has something to do with the 'L6'. Can somebody help me?

Can I do it on my TI-30X IIS calculator???Pls

[@DumToasty]

Me making this for the second time to see how much I learned of TI-BASIC and how much I could optimize, I managed to cut off bytes whilst increasing the UI for both a start screen and death screen, very fun to make still :3

[@saturn6529]

This was an amazing tutorial! I have one issue though; On the highscore-board it says "NEW HIGHSCORE" despite me not beating the highscore. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

[@warriorninja51]

I’m having the same problem 😭

[@luklucky9516]

You need to make a new variable and it's the highscore or use the one you have for highscore then make if highscore is less than score before the disp command for new highscore if you didn't understand just message me

[@EdgeLord_yearsago]

In the tutorial, he makes it display "NEW HIGHSCORE" if you beat any of the top 5 scores. To change it to display that only when you beat the top score, find where in the code it says " :If L>L6(5 " And change that line to say ":L>L6(5" Hope this helps

[@warriorninja51]

Please help me, it says high score even when I didn’t get a high score. Is there any way to fix this?

[@vk2631]

Alright I know I'm a year late on this but you need to insert values into the L6 list in order to fix the problem. To access the L6 list, press "STAT" on your calculator, then "1" to select "Edit". Go all the way to right until you reach the L6 list. Then, you need to enter "1" in *at least* the first 8 values of the list so the program actually has values to read. Then, the game should work properly.
