TI Z80 / Re: TruVid - 4 level grayscale video with sound
« on: July 11, 2011, 03:42:51 pm »
Can you make a smaller version of it, please?  :(
I really want to try it on my Ti-84+BE  (320kb arch free) ::)
(maybe with Nyan Cat^^)

I would be very happy, if you do that for me  ::)


I think that would be quite hard. The calculator can't decompress data efficiently since there's so much processing time used for just the sound. If you take a look at a video file for computers, it might even be several hundred megabytes, so it's hard to make it small enough to fit on a calculator! (Calc videos do have a lower resolution, but it still takes a lot of place to store both audio and video.

No, most likely not. We haven't been able to execute machine code on a CX yet.

Lua / Re: LUA script tool for mac?
« on: July 11, 2011, 10:50:16 am »
You don't need a Lua compiler - Lua is an interpreted language, and the Nspire will interpret it for you (if you've converted it to the TNS format). Or are you looking for a interpreter that can be run on a computer?

Does this count as a website?

I write about random stuff. Mostly calcs, of course.

I understand what you mean, but I can't see the purpose of doing so... On Omnimaga, you need an unique ID to make sure that someone else doesn't log on to your account and posts stuff using your user name. This issue doesn't really exist when it comes to shells, so why isn't the full name enough?

Casio Calculators / Re: Hi i accidentally erased my Casio PRIZM!!!
« on: July 10, 2011, 01:33:00 pm »
So the picture plot images are the only thing that i erased in storage?? Or there's more and i haven't been aware of.
I think those were the only ones that were deleted.
is the Prizm compatible with mac?
You can send files to and from the calculator using any operating system, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. However, I think Casio's emulator and Prizm OS updates are for Windows only.
Also should i update to the new software, available as of today on Casio's site?
You can do it if you want to, but the new update doesn't seem to add any new functions.

Hmm, that's strange. When did it show you that? After clicking on a file that you wanted to download?
it's not strange, the same thing happens with the TI-84 OS.  Safari thinks it should display the file instead of trying to download it, so you have to manually download it.
Ah, okay. I thought that Safari would be smart enough to not display a file that it doesn't know anything about. :P

The reset that you did was actually a kind of "reset to factory settings" option. :) It removes all of your content and sets the settings to their default values. However, since Casio places a few example images on all new calculators, these have now been deleted. You won't need them in order to use the Prizm - they're just examples. However, if you want to download them to your calculator, you can do it here: http://edu.casio.com/products/cg_series/materials.html

Also, you can find the add-ins here in case you lose them: https://edu.casio.com/download_service/

To transfer files from your computer to your calculator, connect it using the USB cable. A message should appear on the Prizm screen - press F1 when you see it. In your computer, the calculator will now look and act like a USB flash drive.

Oh, okay, that makes sense. I don't think Casio actually tried to lock anything up or prevent third-party development though, as TI did, so that's probably why the nSpire took so much longer to hack.
Yes, that's true.
(Why would TI want to do this, anyway?)
They want complete control over all of us, just so that there won't be any teachers complaining that kids are playing games on Nspires... They also want to make sure that we can't use programs to remove their restrictions, such as Press-to-Test mode.

Casio Calculators / Re: Compiling stuff for Prizm
« on: July 10, 2011, 03:55:34 am »
Well, you'd have to use GCC and the -m3 flag to compile C programs for the Prizm with a Mac.

Is there any tutorial available? I don't know much about GCC or compiling on the command line; I can compile a simple C program using GCC but that's about it.
I think the binaries of the GCC-based SDK only are compiled for Windows... I'm not sure how to make it work on a Mac. You could try asking on Cemetech - some of the ones who made GCC work with the Prizm usually visit that site more than Omnimaga.

358
We've come a lot farther with the Prizm in six months compared to what was done to the Nspire - it took years before code could be executed on it! Also, some of the activity has been on other forums and IRC, which is why you don't see a lot of topics here. Most of the things that we've been focusing on is opening up the Prizm, not actually creating games and programs for it. The game development is probably going to bet a boost during the summer (at least I hope so...)

« on: July 10, 2011, 03:43:25 am »
How do you know where the name ends, though? If the length isn't fixed, you have to either trawl through the entire name to find the next packet or store the size of the name in the packet.
I thought we were going to store the size of packets in the packets?
It'd also take up a lot more space than is necessary, since the user would only ever see the first four letters if they're the only things read. It's much better just to set a hard limit of 4 characters than to allow arbitrary length and deal with potential buffer overflows.
But shouldn't the user be able to see the full name even if it isn't used for sorting? If we're going to have a limit on the full name, it should be something long (like 256).

4: The file generator will take care of the details. The problem with the G3A CRC is that we don't know the generator polynomial. z80man's checksum doesn't require that, I believe.
The checksum isn't going to cause any problems as long as we're using the SDK's file generator. However, someone will probably want to do things in a different way later on, and then it's good if the checksum isn't required. Of course, it should still be possible to have a checksum if the programmer wants to.

Fixed length names are smaller and infinitely easier to parse.

Isn't it possible to just read the first four characters of that name?
