The Lua interpreter itself is open source, and a fairly small code base with good portability :)

oh, but they've been working on it with >10 ppl, I think, and not only on that.
(Someone should make a TI-8x Lua interpreter in Axe/Asm)

Portable code is fun to play with...
Until you brick everything :/

Wait, Lua is interpreted? I thought it was compiled?

Interpreter?! CRAP!  :mad: <--umad

EDIT to add clarity: I am generally not good with interpreters. I am not trying to degrade them in any way, shape or form. Thank you for your negative ratings. Seriously, I don't mind.

Not all interpreters are crap. Some are.

I don't think it's a wise thing to bash interpreters :P  Some, like Lua, are extremely powerful.

This actually seems it could be extremely awesome -- Lua is a really fun language to code in :) I haven't coded in it for a while, but it's fast enough to fulfill most of your needs, including game coding.

Even though Lua is a little bit slower than python and the libraries aren't as extensive, the good thing is that an interpreter is much easier to make and is well designed for less powerful systems such as calcs. Python would still be good to see, but it would be hell to code all of that OOP in an interpreted platform.

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

I wonder how Nspire Lua speed compares to TI-BASIC... someone should try making a program that draws the RPG stuff in Jhgenius01 game to compare. It's definitively better than nothing.

I wonder if in the future it could be possible to port Lua files between the TI-Nspire and Casio Classpad? The screen size differences might sometimes be an issue, though...

Interesting, I was actually trying to port it. A decent console was probably just what was missing to make it work.
