Petition maybe?

A hack will proably be our best idea for now.
so what exactly is the scripting language(Lua) doing in the periodic table file?

Lots of things that are totally impossible with the public TI-Nspire programming language.
If you don't understand, just try to program something like that on a TI-Nspire without using Ndless.

I kind of see what it is doing. Just it doesn't seem that revolutionary. Easier browsing and a nice view position. Doesn't have as much data as my other one but is easier to navigate.

In the image of it it looks like it does a lot more on my calc it has no kind of pop-out menus

Well, the most important information is not that a periodic table has been released... That's not revolutionary.

The most important information is that the ti-Nspire now supports a new "private" programming language.
And that even TI is releasing documents using this "private" language, and not the "public" one!

And by digging into the code, it seems very advanced for a script: an object oriented script!
It seems to handle classes and inheritances! (yes, like C++ or Java...)

I heard that it had the same syntax as Lua. Is that true?
I mean nothing revolutionary is being done. It doesn't seem to be all that different froma regular program

EDIT: Never mind I hadn't been pressing enter on them and didn't realize what it could do. This truly is pretty good. I see many uses

If you still don't understand, just try to create such regular programs on the TI-Nspire and come back after that.

Did you even know that the TI-Nspire public programming language was very limited... even the TI-80/81 and Casio programming languages are more advanced!

I didn't state it was revolutionnary.

This is just information: the "public" programming language, which is so wonderfull according to T3 teachers is not even used by TI to release Nspire documents. They're using a "private" programming language.

Please look at my edit. I hadn't realized all of what it could do so I thought it was not as good as it is. It actually is pretty good and apears to be very useful.

Oh, yes

Ok.

Who wants to make a technical post to introduce the new, private programming language onto the tinspire Google group ?

First Lua game on the TI-Nspire

Lionel Debroux · « **Reply #24 on:** April 13, 2011, 02:15:19 am »

Great, congratulations

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #25 on:** April 13, 2011, 02:16:58 am »

This makes me want to update now

* DJ_O grabs TNOC, though...

EDIT: Wow that is great. Simple but I'm so happy to see non-BASIC stuff already running on the Nspire OS 3.0, even if it's not pure ASM/C. Great job guys with your discoveries!

1 week without game on Nspire. Dude, it was hard to survive \o/

I imagine

Does the Basic have getKey already?

Lionel Debroux · « **Reply #28 on:** April 13, 2011, 07:46:50 am »

Nope, the Nspire's BASIC still doesn't contain getKey or drawing, AFAWCT.

Levak · « **Reply #29 on:** April 13, 2011, 07:50:47 am »

... whereas in the Nspire Lua API, we've got a Graphic Component/Content/Controller (choose the one you like) named gc.
For example :

gc:setFont()
gc:setColorRGB()
gc:setPen()
gc:drawRect()
gc:fillRect()

etc ...
