Hi everyone,
I want to upload the Blackjack game on my TI-84 calculator. I installed TI Connect and I finally connected the calculator to the PC. I also installed TI-coder to get a TI program but the output format is .8xp and it is not supported by TI Connect.
Can anyone tell me how to upload this Blackjack program from PC to TI-84?
I appreciate your help.

sorry if here is a wrong thread to ask this kind of questions.

and
2. also while programming, how do you do a < or >?
im completely serious, i cant figure this out!

For my version, because I run many other programs involving the variables from M-Q I have just the restore function and I deleted lbl Z and lbls 8 to 13 and instead I write down the number and enter it into the store Z such as my game 1 looks like this:

Lbl 3
6200->Z
Goto B

if u start a new game ur money is 0 so what do u think is a nice amount to start with or doesnt it matter cuz its ur own bet and i think u should make a highscore

Entering symbols/commands on a TI-84+/SE

I'm new to programming and very new to TI-Basic, but I hope that helps.

That's cool for quick test symbols/logic commands but, of course, tou can find those and almost all other/symbols/commands/operators in the catalog. But, I'm still learning. Only had the thing a week.

It seems to be a font or font/formatting issue so if I can't fix it with the program, I may try to do the actual coding in notepad/VB6/or something, then just use the TI Program Editor (With TI Connect) to send it to the calc. This may require creating a custom character set or command list though. Syntax checker doesn't seem to work either. I'm hopeful I can use this though, as it would be so much more efficient/pleasant for coding long programs than trying to do the whole thing on the calc! I'll try.

Cool Code! I'm looking forward to trying the game but I have a question. You have three different kinds of "(quotes) here: left-leaning, vertical, and right-leaning. TI-basic only accepts vertical. So why/how did you do this and why in TI Program Editor does every non-vertical quote become a weird E with accents over them? This is a bit frustrating so let me know. Thanks.
