Nspire BASIC isn't that bad, though, in the way it does math stuff much faster than other calcs, and I believe some graphical stuff is faster too, but not all of it. However, the only way to have interactivity in games, a function similar to Input, kinda ruins it. Also, the only reason why the language in overall is much faster is most likely due to the fact it's running at 90 MHz, not 6 or 15.

Aah ok. Well, in BASIC' the farthest you could go to is some sort of strategy game with sprites made of lines and the like I think, and to select a building/spot on the map, you would need to input it in number form. It would be so complicated. For a RPG, you would number each door in a room, then type the number of the location you want to go to. Does Nspire BASIC even support For()/Pause command, though?

Nspire basic does have an input command, but it uses a dialog box, which ruins it for games. Also, graphics output sucks, because there is no way to create a new line/circle/etc, you have to link an existing object to a variable, and change it. I started programming a minesweeper game. It needed parametric functions for the numbers. Since then ndless came out, and I have been using C ever since.

fb39ca4 really? O.o wow that's worse than I could have imagined. I guess that we're stuck with ASCII-art based RPGs like Illusiat 81, and having to cope with the intrusive dialog box, and if the Nspire fonts are not monospace, then we're screwed x.x

I seriously doubt the font has ever been monospaced. I might be wrong, though, seeing as I don't own an Nspire. :P

"Not a whole lot to say other than download it when you can.  The TE
software has changed a TON!!  Looks like amazing file management
possibilities.  More stuff to figure out during the summer!
Also looking forward to the new ways to sort bar graphs!  I was
putting together TI-nspire notes for my AP Statistics class at the end
of the school year, and there was an example I was putting in that I
wanted the ability to sort alphabetically to show a point....and I
couldn't at the time.  PERFECT TIMING TI!!
What are your thoughts and impressions on the new update?"


"Slider improvements, YAY!"


Seriously, this crap makes me gag

Moreover, all documents created by the 2.1 TE can't be opened on calculators with previous OSes.

Downloading the 2.1 TE & sharing documents, is like forcing all user of the documents to upgrade to 2.1 OS.

That's exactly what TI wants...

No one cares about sorting bar graphs or sliding stuff, I hope they go away.
