I think the first thing that could be done is a simple chatroom :) It would be so epic to be able to chat with other calc friends *on your calculator*.  After that, i dunnow, how fast is the transfer?  This is sooo epic!@  :w00t:

Well, CALCnet, which I completed about two months ago but which certain ticalc.org news admins haven't deigned to mention (;)), already offered most of these features; this expands it to allow geographically-separated calculators and networks to be interconnected.  Merth/Shaun of Cemetech started writing a CALCnet2.2 chat program called Chat, then I built all the networking bits and tested (screenshots and details, huzzah, in Cemetech news article from December 25th), and it's just waiting for a few final features to be implemented by Merth, especially display of the user list and automatic trimming of the scrollback/log.  If I write a simple daemon to connect the gCn metahub and IRC, then with the existing features of Chat, IRC on-calc is very very close to done.

Yeah I actually remember seeing the chat program, it was quite cool already.

Now I wonder if connecting to a server to download calc files (even zipped ones) would be feasible (for example, a Cemetech Downloader flash app) O.O

Can't wait to test this novelty out :P
And I have a few ideas in mind for a installer project ;)

Hmm you mean an installer for calculator games you download? I am curious how hard it would be to make.

Yeah, me too. This one would do all the install on device too, so it would fetch the programs/apps from online and install them on the device.

How would it detect the different possible install processes, like for Zelda: Dark Link Quest?

Probably would download a script file first telling it how to proceed. Kind of like a package build file. Still fleshing out the idea in my head. Maybe it would just do the downloading and then use Athena or something for the install portion?

Is anyone else thinking the same thing I am, namely international calc gaming tournaments?

That could maybe work.

That would be cool. I wonder how much it would lag for complex games, though. O.O

I'm thinking that when TBP is done and *maybe* after some work on Oasis I could start talking to Iambian about hooking into Athena with this, after making a file downloader of course.

Oooh, Cloud computing...
* Qwerty.55 imagines  it

Tired of waiting for that slow, clunky old Axe program to run? Run it from the cloud in TI-OS Live with >9000 G speeds courtesy of TI & I, the nation's fastest CALCnet provider. Plans as low as $159.99 for a new Nspire Touchpad (with mail-in rebate).
