TI-84 Plus CE: All In Chance Game

TI-84 Plus CE:  All In Chance Game


The All In Chance Game


The objective is to get a high score by stopping the 2 x 2 board like this:


A   B

C  D


You score the sum of all four values.   Watch for negative values and zeroes.


Spots B, C, and D range from -2 to 5, while A has four possible values: -5, 0, 5, 10.


How many spins you get?  The game has a spinner from 2 to 7 spins.  


Free spins can be earned.  One way is to stop the board when A = 10.   There are two other ways, can you discover them?

Notes:


On the line Output(8,1,"YOU GOT "+toString(P)+"         "), extra spaces are needed to "erase" the PRESS ANY KEY message.


0 is entered before the Repeat Ans loop to make Ans "false", allowing for the loop to happen and the player to press any key to exit the loop. See the TI-Basic Developer's page for more details:  http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/getkey

This program is made with OS 5.7, but it should work on O.S versions 5.5 and 5.6.  Earlier OS versions may not have the Wait and toString commands.  


L6 refers to List 6, [ 2nd ]  [ 6  ].
