I wonder if 3d graphing means it gets 3d rendering hardware?

and quite possibly might support a Form of OpenGL ^-^ just maybe

Wow, that would be awesome. If we can program on that, imagine what we could do...

I was looking at an article about this online, and it said 3d graphing in grayscale is to be added to the older nspires. This makes me less hopeful :(

I thought your OpenGL thing was for the 83+, not the Nspire? ???

And yeah 3D is all software-generated. The 83+ has no native 3D graphing function, yet you can still do 3D on the calc or make your own 3D grapher.

Even the original doom, running on pc's did everything with software.

First off, congrats on the 1000th post.

And basically, that letter says to me that you shouldn't ask questions, hush now... Oh well, let's try once someone actually gets one.  (Any volunteers?)

Stefan Bauwens already did, about Getkey, to the Belgian division of TI-Cares. Here's the topic: http://ourl.ca/9364
I don't think this will help someone who wants to use the getkey command on an nspire but because I was interested to know if there would be an update(ever) to have the getket command, I contacted TI.

This is what I wrote:

---- Original Message ----
Country: BelgiumDutch
Name: Stefan
Email: [email protected]
Type of Service: CalcOrProcedure
Computer Software Setup/Usage:
Product Group: GrphHH
Product: TI-Nspire with ClickPad
Purchase Time: nomonth/noyearselected
Customer Type: NotSelected
Product Serial#:
Computer OS: NotSelected
Comments: HI,

I have a question about the ti-nspire.
I heard that you can program for it. But I also have heard that you can't use the function 'getkey()'.
This is quite important in many programs. I program 68k basic programs and I see this as a very negative point.

Isn't the ti nspire supposed to be more 'advanced' than the 68k calcs?

I would be pleased that in a future update this function can be used.

Waiting for a reply,

Stefan

And this is what I received:
Code: [Select]
Dear Stefan,

The TI-Nspire indeed does not have the getkey() programming function.
Actually, the only I/O command is 'disp'.
In general, programming on the TI-Nspire was not meant for real programming, but more for writing small programs requiring one input (entered before program execution) to e.g. automate calculations which need to be done frequently. There are currently no plans to make changes in the programming abilities of the TI-Npsire and TI-Nspire CAS models.

The TI-83/84 Plus series, Voyage 200 and TI-89 Titanium have greater programming capabilities. They do support a full range of I/O commands, hence being the better calculators to suit your needs.

Kind regards,

BERT VERMEIREN

This all happened today in case you would want to know.
Also because I'm from Belgium, it looks like the guy is too.(He has a dutch name.)
NOTE: I do not have a ti-nspire, but I was thinking I could ever buy one because I heard it has almost the same language as the 68k family.

I just post this in case any of you guys were interested or were expecting TI to make an update 'fixing' that function.
