I am adding a password char feature to textboxes right now.
Also, wouldn't it be awesome if we could use lua to connect calc-calc?

I wonder if that's possible. Seeing how jimbauwens succeeded to control an LED display through Lua, shouldn't it be possible to do the same with calcs? Perhaps we could even use a splitter and go even further, 4 calcs at the same time :P

I think it would be useful if we could, I can think of a lot of things that could be done.

I am, but it will definately be some time because I barely have enough time to work on the Nspire version. I plan on starting the prizm port right after I release WZGUILib 3.0 (this release), but I have to add a few features before I do release it. WZGUILib Prizm 1.0 will actualy be just a port of WZGUILib 3.0, and the versions will be numbered from there.

Will it be in C or will it be in LuaZM?

LuaZM, it will be much easier to port that way

You do know that LuaZM doesn't support modules yet, right?

Neither TI' one

By the way, adapting a High level language script to a low level language (such as C) program is one of the most difficult thing to do : It is even easier to restart from scratch.

So you have to copy and paste the library into the beginning of the program?

Hell yeah.

Woah. Even luafx can do better than that.

So if multiple programs use the same libraries, isn't that a whole lot of wasted space?

TNS files are zipped. This prevents us to see the crappy lack of space TI produces (that becomes LZW compressed).
Lua app is the best serialized app (it is simply not serialized). Other apps serialization is h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e.

Exactly, I may make a C version one day, but that one day could be years away

I have not gotten as much done as I would have liked this week, but then again I worked everyday since Christmas. I should have time this weekend though and tonight to at least work on the documentation.

Alright, here is the newest version, all textboxes now support password char. In the .tns is an example.

Wow, you really put a lot of work into this. Glad you're still doing it, is it ok if I use parts of the code for a game of mine (with credits of course), because it would be a shame not to use it :)
