where can i find a tuturial to learn casio basic, that is not to slow but not too fast either

[Killer83Z]

Well, as you have some programming experiences, learning casio basic by looking through source codes would be the way to go. Unfortunately noone has yet bothered with writing a decent tutorial for it.

[CrimsonCasio]

Hmm... A tutorial on casio basic, that might not be a bad idea. Mabey I will wright one. (not just the little game demo shown on some pages)

[Bob Vila]

well crimsoncasio if you do write a tuturial could you hook me up?

what killer83z said is kinda true. i have put many programs on and i can under stand to some extent what is happening. but i dont understand it enough to make my own programs.

[CrimsonCasio]

Sure, Ive taught a few people the casio BASIC laguage, it shouldnt be to hard to wright a decent tutorial. I'll post a link to it here once i get it done.

[Bob Vila]

thanks.

The easiest way to learn casio basic is to take a program or game, take some little commands out of it and then try what ahhpens when you change the parameters.
An other possibility to learn casio basic is to do that after the so calledtrial-and-error-principle. that means you test a command (and his parameters) and you see the result.

Yes. You are right! Learnign by doing is the best learning-methode ever!

[Killer83Z]

Not in every case. I don't want to go and learn analysis from trying some formulas myself

[ross8653]

i found this lying on my computer, what do you think. (note i havent proof read it)

killer:

we talked about learning casio basic!

[Killer83Z]

No we talked about

Learnign by doing is the best learning-methode ever

Regardless of your spelling mistakes - this sounds like a general statement. But anyways...having a decent instructor is equally good if you ask me.

Ross, I looked at the tutorial on your homepage, I plan mine to much more detailed (so far it has 39 chapters). I intend to go over basic sentax, some things I have found effective in game programming, and a detailed expanation of everything in the prgm menu. Also I am encluding exercises and sample programs (if you have ever read a teach yourself programming book you know exactly what I'm talking about). At the end of the tutorial I'm encluding several appendixes on key press constants, helpful web sites (including this one), and a glossary of funtions (ex: Isz: increments a variable by 1, if that variable now equals 0 then the next line is skipt).

Anyway it shoud be done in a few days, I'm doing it on my pocket pc in my spare moments.

ps: any suggestions are welcome.
pss: yes, I do have to much time on my hands

[ross8653]

yeah mine was more for the basic programmer commin from 9850 to a afx2.0 or a afx basic programer that wants to know tips and tricks feel free to use some of my junk (if you throw me in the authros section)

[Bob Vila]

Crimson, did you ever get it written up?

[CrimsonCasio]

hehe, its about half done, I took a break and forgot about it but I will try to finish up this weekend.

[rjstephens]

i found a great casio basic tutorial on a casio site that was available in english and german, but the tutorial was ony in german.

I downloaded them and translated them at www.dictionary.com

I originally learned it from my prior knowledge of BASIC and the manual that came with my calc.

[MathManiac]

I'm starting writting one...By the way, do you Know the crimson editor?

[Killer83Z]

I do know it. But who cares? It's just anything to say.

[CrimsonCasio]

the what?

[rjstephens]

what's the crimson editor, what's it do?

[Brazzucko]

I have learn Casio basic by my self, if you read the manual, and some sources of games and prograns you will learm casio basic....

It?s what I do, I'm not a expert, but I'm able to create some nice basic games and programs

[CrimsonCasio]

well, its basically become pointless, since MLC will replace basic there really isnt a need for a basic tutorial (though i did do a MLC tutorial )

[casiokingdom]

but can MLC be used on CFX models?

[Deimos]

No, it can't. And keep in mind that basic isn't created for writing games, but as a powerful calculations tool, and it works gerat at that, so the tutorial is probably still neeeded (i learned it without any tutorial however ).
