Something I'm wondering about is why they chose to add a 0D compression requirement in 3.0.2, blocking all of our Lua programs, but then give us a method to create 0D-compressed files so that we can use Lua again...

Because they had no idea we'd find out about Lua and even hate them for blocking it and C and Asm.

We found out about Lua before TI even realized that 3.0.1 was glitchy. If we didn't know about how we accessed Lua, how could they remove our method of accessing Lua?

Maybe they just got sick of always blocking stuff and just said "Oh, what the hell..".

They pulled an Obama-nomics stunt and did it just so they could seem in more control while in reality they just wasted more money.  However, since it's not the country I love but rather the monopoly I hate, I can laugh at them for doing so :)

We should get an interview with someone in the corporate office and ask why they are doing this.

It's not because they're to 3rd party Lua (Well for now at least) it's because they want to stay in control. By adding the compression step it is easier for them to manage how much development we do. If teachers start complaining about Lua, then TI might require a license to develop programs which they could do easily. Honestly the worst-case scenario is if we get ndless through Lua. If that happens TI will drop it for sure.

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)

Lua seems our best bet for ndless right now though so we might soon see some problems

Can it hurt to go along with ti on this and buy their product for lua programing?  Yes it sure can.  The investment of time and money is all lost when they clamp down again.  And I can't believe for a second that ti has all of a sudden become a bunch of nice guys that want to help us create games.  As soon as their teacher clients screem NO!  NO GAMES!  Ti will screw us again.  Mean while the Casio Prizm has provided programing opportunities that the nspire still does not provide.  I think that it is clear that the Prizm, and not the nspire, is the platform in our future.
