Hi!
« on: May 21, 2011, 06:36:47 pm »
Hi everyone!
I'm pianoman, and I'm currently trying to learn how to program in Lua for the Nspire.  :w00t:
I programmed a game or two in BASIC before I realized you couldn't do anything with it.
Don't really know what else to say...

Thanks!

Awesome. I really hope TI lets us use Lua.

Yeah, it sucks, doesn't it :P

While you're thinking about it, have some peanuts!

Heya pianoman and ben_g, welcome on the forums. :D

Actually you can make good games in BASIC, but you are far more limited than in ASM/Axe.

Indeed(at least on the 68k calcs). I must say there are quite some program capabilities on 68k basic.

Yeah maybe. I know some people claimed we could do nothing in 83+ BASIC too before, though, which is a misconception because they haven't tried hard enough. See for example Serenity, that Bomberman clone on ticalc.org or *cough* some large RPGs in the archives.

Hi pianoman!
Since I already talked to you some on irc, this really isn't an introduction, but I wanted to say, "Hi," anyway. :P
