That just makes TI even more unethical than i thought. With all its actions to limit the use of its calcs for games and programming and making people buy it by discontinuing older models, why why why is TI acting not like a proper company and like one that wants to get money???
One word: monopoly. Yes, they have competitors (Casio, HP and now Staples), but Casio/HP/Staples graphing calc sales are a joke compared to TI. In most developed countries, you will rarely ever see a Casio calc in schools. Almost everyone buy TI calcs even if they're so expensive. TI does nothing because they do not have enough competition. If that new Casio calc starts hurting TI sales (and I hope), this might convince TI to try harder at making decent products.

Heck, normally you go on a Casio site and everyone will bash TI and praise Casio, and the opposite will happen with TI websites, but with the Nspire thing, now even on TI websites we are starting to praise Casio and bash TI. That tells how bad it got.

I wish Casio would have chosen the more standard 320x240 (QVGA) for the LCD.

edit: Staples makes graphing calculators?

Yeah, but they are really bad. They graph, but that's about it (besides scientific functions of course)

The more powerful they get, the more boring they become :).

Then it could be a gameboy advance emulator ;)  Then again, I would be much happier if it had an SDK, otherwise what is the point?  I want to MAKE games, not just PLAY them.  I also want to make a new oop programming language, which I started on the ti8x calcs, but I might make it for this as an alternative to ASM and casio-basic ;)

In that case, I would really need a lot of help, as I know z80 asm really well but have no idea what the microprocessor for this calc is ...

Again, I really think this site is amazing!  I can't believe how active it is for a programming forum!

Welcome to Omnimaga, by the way- I missed your earlier post.

If the chip is modern enough (read- not 30+ years old like the z80 and 68k), there would be no need for a new OOP language because C++ could be ported directly. (The Nspire, for instance, could easily support C++ once all the libraries get ported).

And the Casio Classpad's official SDK was a C++ compiler. Maybe the Prizm's will be as well...

well then I'm sad because I'm out of work, but happy because I don't have to work ;)

Looks like I'll be downloading axe 0.4.5 and makin' some more arcade games until january.

Hopefully the CPU on this will be decent-porting DOOM would be awesome

I would bet that would be easily possible; just look at that thing  ;)

True, but it is not great if you can't even do anything at all on a device, though (or when almost nobody can play your games). Some power is welcome, but yeah, it's cool when it's a bit limited, still, since it makes our stuff look more like an achievement. :)

Very, very true. This is why greyscale games are held in such high esteem (altough they are a bit more trivial now thanks to axe :D). However the achievements for this calc maybe very obvious as well, how about stepping up from 2D to 3D? and if the proccesor is powerful enough why not implent a fully functional physics system? maybe even make a on-calc 'gamemaker(http://www.yoyogames.com)' tool? All I am trying to say is that there is still plenty to achieve even on a calc as powerful as this one. From what I see from the video the GUI could use a makeover I personally find it very ugly...

I can't wait to get my hands on to this calc moreover because I never got the balls of casio's programming languages...I hope they support some sort of C or maybe python like language...

I agree.  If only I knew how to program in 3d...

That is my biggest weakness.  Looks like I wont be held in high esteem with this new calc ;D

But I'm wondering, if everybody is interested in it, is there going to be a subforum in the future for this calc along with the other TI calc forums?

Because I doubt UTI will have it (based on it's name)

Well for now we do not have calc-specific sub-forums. For example, C language is for 68K, TI-Nspire and z88dk (83+).  Later I may add a sub-forum for the new calc languages, though, if it gets too cluttered. :)

Sounds good.  It would be pretty awesome if this place supported TI and Casio -- that's a LOT of creative projects coming in ;)
