TI-Nspire OS 1.7 released
« on: June 06, 2009, 07:41:12 pm »
TI has released the new OS for the TI-Nspire yesterday, OS 1.7. You can find more info about what's new in it here:
http://www.ti-nspire.com/tools/nspire/resources/download_upgrade.html

Sadly, programming-wise, there isn't anything new that will cause a TI-Nspire directory to be added in our game download sections.

It's actually only 50% worse than the TI-83+ now, instead of 60% worse the previous OS.

Cool so now it only really sucks instead of massively sucking?

You can check the video on the site I linked to for the main changes. Basically, just changes for school related uses. Well... it's the point of calculators, after all I guess, but it still sucks TI locked this calc down so tight like that and removed pretty much any decent programming capabilities from it. BASIC might suck on the TI-8x calcs, mostly because of the speed, but the TI-Nspire BASIC language makes even TI-80 and 81 BASIC looks like an advanced language. Casio did only allow BASIC programming with the Classpad 300 at first. However, about 2 years later they eventually released a C compiler giving more freedom to developpers, after many requests from their customers. Ti should maybe follow Casio example with the Classpad, minus the poor beta-testing

Have you tried out this?
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/419/41930.html

If you try, tell me about it.

Also seems that there is potential to card games... I am basing this from little info from TI|BD and ticalc archives u.u

I would like to know how fast can nspire run some math stuff. I saw a chemical equation solver for nspire. and TI.8x has one too. I saw the ti-8x code and was a well spoken TI-BASIC. :P

I don't think I will try it, because it seems to only be MUD-based, no graphics. Not to mention you still need to run each programs separately by hand it seems. I still think the programming is too limited to make any real game, even something like the TI-81.

At least, some form of games can be done, though, but so far, nothing worthy of adding to our RPG archives has been done, yet

About the graphics if we could do graphs or plots, and they are fast enough, is possible. The plot especially interests me.
But I don't seem to pick my nspire and read all documentation available (mostly TI at the time, TI|BD has only one topic the last time I read)
