Talking about sleep(), its relatively easy to implant by mixing a coroutine and the timer. sleep can be kinda usefull for people making a text adventure :)
I'd be curious to see that code :P


and @pianoman : you never call cursor.hide() ?

TI-Nspire ClickPad ?

As I remember my first tests, it was impossible to show the cursor on ClickPad

@Adriweb: Nope, never.
@Levak: Yes, I have that, but in other programs, like Towers of Hanoi, the cursor works... could I just make my own cursor and have it move around when the mouse is used?

Ok, so it seems that putting a cursor.show in on.create() and on.resize does it...
I can't test right now.

Yes, I think that might be possible, hiding the real one and showing yours.

Hello I'm starting with lua, i have a curious problem:
my code:
function on.paint(gc)
    gc:drawString("Vagos CORP®", 5, 25)
    gc:drawString("Organisación Industrial", 5, 45)
    gc:drawString("Desarrollado por Sebasu", 5, 205)
end
when I copy to oclua it works perfectly but when i save the oclua file and exit, the compiled program dissapears of the screen in the file.
when I use the TI-Scriping Tool and paste the generated code, the TI-Soft close inmediately.
when I use luna 0.2a it generates te .tns file but when i open the file:  "3: ')' expected near 'Organisaci36'"
With one hour testing, I think that the simbols "®" and "ó" are the problem but I need this simbols working
how can i do that?
and what is the real problem?
thanks for help
and luna 0.2a can be downloaded from here http://ndlessly.wordpress.com/

Hi!
Okay, this might seem a bit complex, but its actually pretty simple.
1. Go to Scratchpad and type in ord("®"). Record the number it outputs, then repeat for "ó".
2. To get those strings, you will need to do this:
Code: [Select]
a="Vagos CORP"..math.eval("char(whatever number ® output)")
b="Organisaci"..math.eval("char(the output from ó)").."n Industrial"

Now you can just print those strings like this:
Code: [Select]
function on.paint(gc)
    gc:drawString(a,5, 25)
    gc:drawString(b, 5, 45)
    gc:drawString("Desarrollado por Sebasu", 5, 205)
end
That's it (I think :))

You can also use:
gc:drawString("Vagos CORP" .. string.char(the number returned by ord))
I'm not sure what's wrong with oclua and the TI-Nspire Scriping Tools. But a problem was already reported with Luna v0.2 when converting special characters, I'll look into it.

wow so interesting, pianoman it works perfectly!!!
the ExtendeD's Solution was logic but when execute the generated file, it show me random "unicode" simbols, i don't know if is a compiler problem or the algorithm need to be corrected
thanks for help
luna0.2a still has bugs and with the TI-Scriping Tool can be compiled, but large programs can't be pasted in the TI-Soft or in oclua (too big for the memory)
it's so frustrating!!!!!
