Features

• print and input

Goals/To Do

• Functions
• Advanced/Polished graphical output
• More advanced comparisons and operations (exponents, roots, and, or)

Non-compiler related

• 8XP encoding

Restrictions

Your Python code still has to follow some restrictions due to the nature of the TI-BASIC.

• Using print with commas will not insert spaces in-between
• The input function doesn't always return Strings, they can be numbers
• Lists are 1-indexed

These are known restrictions, but this compiler is still in development so of course you will still have many other issues
