When I first started programming it was on a Ti-84+ in Basic. I have come a long way since but I was always looking for a (sudo) complete/understandable tutorial, if this sounds like you this is for you!
(click to show/hide)
1. Go to the home screen and press PRGM
2. Go to NEW and enter a name
3. You are now in the Ti-84+ IDE
4. From now on the key strokes are in the screen shot
5. Time to run the program, can you guess what it will do?!
(click to show/hide)
Now you are past the first step! I will add on to these quite often until there you are ready to take to the skys with your new found skilz
This is the next step, here we talk about the while loop!
(click to show/hide)
First of all lets create a program:
(click to show/hide)
We will be making a loop that counts X from 0 to 10 and then displays some text:
The first step is to set X to equal 0 and to make our loop
(click to show/hide)
Now we have to tell the loop when to run:
(click to show/hide)
This just says WHILE X is less than 0 run this code!
The next step is to tel the loop what to execute:
(click to show/hide)
This makes X's value go up by one every time the loop is run
Now we have to give visual feedback when the loop completes!
CHALLENGE: Do this by your self and see what you can come up with (it doesn't need to be exactly like mine)
(click to show/hide)
Outputs:
But wait the output is cut off
how can wee fix this?!
Look in the next step to find out really how simple it is
All you need to do is separate it into two commands!
(click to show/hide)
Now you may be asking how on earth do we get that ugly prgmLOOPS off of the homescreen, that is also very easy
(click to show/hide)
Just add ClrHome to the first line in your program
Now you will get this:
(click to show/hide)
Now for that pesky Done at the end:
(click to show/hide)
All we do here is add a Pause at the end and that makes all line execution stop until the user presses enter
It should give you this:
(click to show/hide)
Congrats you have finished part 2!!!!
Sneak peak for next lesson:

Keep him interested
I remember making that Whack A Mole C-project for fx9860 to get a friend into coding - we were only missing a highscore save feature and a kind of menu --> we stopped

I hope you update this in the future. It would probably be a bit less clickbait to the eyes of people who are seeking for a full getting started with BASIC game programming tutorial.
Since there are already many tutorials out there including one by TI, perhaps that to avoid reinventing the wheel, your tutorial should focus on getting people to learn game-specific tricks more, while encouraging them to check out TI-BD and other tutorials out there for info on commands.

Yeah, I am planning on making one today about loops (SynText has taken a lot of my time) and after that I will start making little game projects.

Oh I see. You really should bump this topic everytime you post a new tutorial and change stuff, though, because I did not notice your edit until recently. >.<

Ah I see now. Glad that they are fixed. I think pics should be uploaded on ourl.ca or img.codewalr.us for posterity.
