Great timing, Jody: If you look at that Snake file I posted… Problem 1 is TI-Basic and Problem 2 is Python but the algorithms are IDENTICAL. Makes for a good comparison of syntax.
Problem 3 is the Object-Oriented approach which is significantly different from the procedural ‘traditional’ approach.
Greetings from Florida, USA where we’re in the 70’s - 80’s (F), low 20’s (C) and ocean temp around 73F.
Do good,
John

For those eager to learn Python…
Go to www.python.org and download Python for your computer. It includes the free IDLE Editor and runtime Shell for your computer and adds Python folders to your environment search path. (This desktop Python includes a turtle module, too. TI’s turtle for CX II and CE Python is a subset of this module.) This is also THE place for all official python documentation. Note: I modified my IDLE preferences so that ctrl-R runs the program just like the CX II.
I have attached a sample program that just uses generic python code. It’s a text-based adventure game and does not use any modules unique to the TI platforms so it can ‘run anywhere’ (that python is installed). It just uses a while loop with input, if and print statements. Change the extension from ‘.pi’ to ‘.py’ * to use it in desktop Python. You can copy the code from the IDLE Editor to a blank Python program in the CXII Software and run it there without changes. To use it on CE Python use TI-Connect or TI-Smartview and drag the .py file to the Explorer workspace.
When I’m stuck on a particular feature such as string.format(), I just ‘Google it’:
www.w3schools.org is very helpful with examples.
CXII and CE Python are a subset of desktop Python so not all Python tools are available.
CXII Python is based on https://micropython.org/
and CE Python is based on https://circuitpython.org/.
Note that not all functions are listed on the python menus in CX II or CE Python.
* email clients do not like to share ‘.py’ files because they are executable code. You could also embed your .py file in a .zip file to share it.
Glad to help,
Do good,
John

All this is just to say that I have 5 copies of the latest CX II CAS
reference manual including Draw Commands, and
programme editor introduction IN HARD COPY (BOOK) FORM which I am happy
to donate to a good home/school.
I like annotating the velum when I get a new manual and this helps the
learning process I hope that these copies wil;l help other youngsters. I
am in the UK so help with the postage via paypal would be appreciated.
Its about 5 GB Pounds or equivalent in your local green and folding to
send it from here to the US.
When these are gone there will be no more from this source.
Cheers

I think that my post about this has gone into SPAM. If you could check
your Spam/Junk mailboxes you might find the offer there of 5 copies of
the paper version of the ref Man of the CX II.
I know that its available as a PDF down load, but I like to feel that it
is real, make notes on the functions, make notes of further examples,
show passing innocents in the street what an amazing calculator it is by
flicking through the pages of the this book, .....etc.
You can't do the above with the PDF !
All the best
Graham

I prefer using the eGuides since they are always up-to-date and always at my fingertips.
otoh... I still have some TI-81VS in my collection!

John
