TI Basic PowerpackCreate TI Basic programs with powerful new features

Powerpack assists with coding TI‑Basic 8XP programs for TI‑84+ calculators — compiling and compressing them to provide new features, trim file size, and make coding a more enjoyable experience.

How it works

Strip comments, blank lines, and other unnecessary characters

You can now add indents, spacing, and long descriptive comments throughout your program, keeping it easy to read and maintain, without worrying about increasing the final file size.

Auto-execute your program after every change

Write some code, hit save, and watch the changes automatically execute inside WabbitEmu.

Create variable names longer than one character

No more remembering what variables A, B and C represent. Use longer, descriptive names for your variables, without increasing file size.

Create label names longer than two characters

You can use longer, descriptive names for labels too — when you want to jump between sections of your program — “Goto @Menu” instead of “Goto M”.

Create reusable snippets of code

Have snippets of code that you'd like to reuse multiple times in your program? With Powerpack, create an "alias" and then refer to that as many times as you need. When it needs updating, do so from a single location.

Include other files

Put snippets of code in a separate file and include that in as many programs as necessary.

Decompile 8XP to text

Each time a file is processed, a plain text version is output, allowing you to track a history of your code changes in source control tools like git.

Compile text to 8XP

TI Basic code can be written using TI-Connect (which saves in binary form) or in plain text — using VSCode or your favorite editor — enabling the use of AI coding assistants.

Create subroutines and easily call them

Previously, TI-Basic did not support subroutines, but with Powerpack you can now use them.

Keep track of file size

Powerpack not only keeps file sizes small, but also generates a report that shows the bytes used on each line of your program, as well as the final size. Using git, you can easily keep track of file size increases.

Open source

Powerpack is open source, written in AutoIt3, a simple, free language similar to Visual Basic.
