Programming languages

TI BASIC is the first programming language that you get to know when you start using the TI. Cartridges allow to extend the limited features of the standard console considerably. Probably the first cartridge people tried to get was Extended Basic. Other languages were available to run in assembly or Basic.

With a memory expansion and a floppy drive, programming in assembly language becomes possible. From there on, many further language compilers or interpreters may be created and complement the set of available programming languages:

BASICs

• TI BASIC (built-in)
• Myarc Advanced BASIC (Geneve only)

Extensions to TI Basic with modules:

• Editor/Assembler (cartridge, disk), which includes the Editor Assembler dialect of TI BASIC
• Mini Memory (cartridge, disk or cassette), which includes the Mini Memory dialect of TI BASIC
• Terminal Emulator II (cartridge), which includes the Terminal Emulator II dialect of TI BASIC
• Personal Record Keeping and Statistics (cartridges), which includes the Personal Record Keeping / Statistics dialect of TI BASIC (referred to sometimes as Enhanced Basic)
• BASIC Support Module (cartridge, disk), which includes the BASIC Support Module dialect of TI BASIC
• Advertiser (cartridge), which adds 36 specialized commands to TI BASIC

Extended BASICs:

• TI Extended BASIC (cartridge)
• Myarc Extended BASIC II (TI or Geneve)
• Triton Super Extended BASIC
• Mechatronics Extended BASIC II+ incorporated the APESOFT Expanded Graphics routines into their version of the cartridge.
• Winfried Winkler included many additional commands in Extended BASIC III (in extremely limited release by Asgard, but generally only available as a set of files for the HSGPL card)
• RXB (Rich Gilbertson), which is available as a set of program images for a GROM emulation device.

Forths

• TI FORTH,
• TEXFORTH
• Wycove FORTH
• FIG Forth 2.0 (M. Weiand)
• TurboForth
