Lol, everybody I know uses Texas. I've had a Casio, but it was a scientific one, not a graphical one, it was quite good.

In my opinion, it will take a while before Casio becomes a household name and completely demolish TI but I do hope it can make an impact when it appears on store shelves next year.

Maybe I should start saving money for this calc...

P.S. 100 Posts! Finally!

I've finally made up my mind, I'm getting this calc.  I'm POSITIVE it'll have a C (maybe even a C++ -- Fianlly, OOP for a calc!!!!) SDK with it because their earlier calcs did.  So why not save up for this? ;)

If Omnimaga becomes more Casio oriented, then I'll get one, that's for sure. :)

I'm sure it'll adapt to whatever we feel like programming :D

But It'll always be the home of the best TI programs ever I'm sure.  People will still own their old TI calcs, so unless they want to forget about them forever, there will still be many projects for those.

Even if it has no C/ASM I'M still getting one for the sake of collecting different calc models :P

If it has decent BASIC capabilities I might try creating something for it.

I think Omni will remain mostly TI for a while but hopefully some Casio Prizm stuff could attract more people :D

Video of the Prizm in action, thanks to TI-BANK:

Some stuff seems to display a bit slow. I guess that might give us an idea about Casio BASIC speed on it, but hopefully some stuff will be fast enough.

I read on TI-BANK that it might support videos. Porn on a calc... er I mean game cinematic sequences?

Apparently.  That looks really cool.  The different color functions could come in handy.  I do wonder about the programming speed, though.

No. I think he found the videos somewhere on Casio website. I will probably go check their site for them and to see if there are more info later.

And guess what... I've doubled the framerate! :p
But those captures clearly come from the Prizm "emulation" software, as a mouse pointer is sometimes visible.
Speed on true hardware can be very different: better or worse...

Oh ok I didn't knew lol.

I am really curious, though. If it's 2x slower but BASIC games runs at something like the 83+SE with decent graphics, it will be perfect for me. However, it will be even better if it runs faster and even better with C/ASM support. I wouldn't be surprised if they released a SDK like with the Classpad. Let's hope they don't go the way TI did...
