The programming language Lua has been around for fifteen years, and has recently gained significant traction as an introductory scripting language. As I mentioned when I first announced the LuaZM project, the TI-Nspire CX has had Lua for about a year now, Texas Instruments' uneasy relationship with hobbyist programmers notwithstanding. I'm proud to release the first beta of LuaZM to the public, along with documentation on the current features of the core program and its included libraries. Create your own .lua programs, then use LuaZM's handy graphical file browser to select a program and run it. LuaZM also includes a command line where you can test out commands and functions. LuaZM is a semi-port of Lua 5.2.1. Please try out this beta, give me feedback, and start publishing your own Prizm Lua programs! Compatibility layers for Nspire and LuaFX programs may be coming soon. Special thanks go to Juju and AHelper for the PrizmIO console library and the File Browser GUI respectively.

Edit: The current download is v0.1.1, which fixes zmg.keyMenu(), optimizes zmg.keyMenuFast(), and adds zmg.makeColor().

Pretty awesome, I'll try it as soon as I can.

Wow this looks great! This will make publishing Casio Prizm Lua much easier. Keep going on the TI-nspire and LuaFX versions too!

Note that his post was a cross-post from Cemetech, which is less oriented in general towards the Nspire, and not much was changed in it. I also think this post is less anti-Nspire as it states that TI added Lua a year ago after the community demanded more programming capabilities.

Also not to continue the PRIZM vs Nspire debate, but Casio at least gave us another chance to play nice and avoid encouraging cheating with our use of ASM/C. TI didn't even bother giving us such chance, which probably explains some people's stance against TI.

Back on-topic, I wonder how easy it will be to port Lua games between both calcs?

That would be great. On the PRIZM also we don't need to change the extension from .tns (or even .lua) to send the files to the calc so you would probably not need to require the user to do like gpSP or gbc4nspire, where they had to add an extra .tns at the end.

And how about porting a text editor so you can edit your Lua files on-calc?

zeldaking is working on that.

I tried using this link http://www.ticalc.org/pub/nspire/lua/games/ but nothing works, even lua files

[email protected]: The Lua files for the Nspire don't work directly, but if there are Nspire Lua projects you'd like to see on the Prizm, feel free to port them, once you get the original author's permission.
