Here in Sweden, the first school that everyone starts in when they're seven is called Grundskola, or Base School. It lasts for nine years, and it's the only one that's mandatory. Afterwards, there's Gymnasium (no appropriate translation) and after that, Universitet (University). There might be some minor stuff after that too, I'm not really sure...

I see, that's interesting. Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard. Remember that the Prizm is 16:9 ratio instead of 3:2, though, so if you fill the entire screen with the 83+ LCD it will look distorted.

The 4x3 ratio uses up the entire screen horizontally, but leaves a bar at the bottom. That could be used for fps, clock speed, debug info, or some sort of user interface. And this Prizm emulator I have been working on lately really helps me appreciate the simplicity of z80 asm. I am almost certain that an on calc z80 emulator will be a lot easier than an on comp SH3 emulator. 

I think a 3x3 ratio would be better - stretched screens can look quite odd.

The only things I'd imagine you'd have a problem with are hardware things like paging.

Well the 83+ writes to the flash pages sequentially. A possible example would be to only reserve a page from the Prizm OS when the 83+ OS passes into a new one.

RAM is paged, too.

The CX might have better programming capabilities. He specifically said the the Nspire and Nspire CAS don't have that function, so the CX and CX CAS might...

Welcome! Here are your peanuts:



68k BASIC isn't really the most widely-used language here, but I hope you'll be able to discuss it anyway.

Is that really a memory leak, though? You're telling the OS to continually allocate memory for Do statements. It's nothing more than infinite nesting. From what I understand, memory leaks are bugs in the code where the interpreter doesn't properly handle the memory allocations. Your example wouldn't count unless that program somehow terminates earlier than it should.

His program is an example of what has (incorrectly?) been called a memory leak for a long time in the TI community, but you are right.

Yeah, I know
That's why I used a .

Wut?  I thought Omnimaga still ran off a TI-81?

Nah, remember we switched to a TI-84 Plus in October last year

I almost have the Prizm ready to take over next month. With this upgrade Omnimaga should be 65,535 times more awesome 

Really, it should be 32,768 times as awesome. (Prizm - 65536 colors divided by 8x - 2 colors

meh, details.  Luckily the prizm fully supports the IPv6 protocols as well as IPv4.

Don't forget flash, css, java, javascript, and .net. All of those too.

Actually, it doesn't support flash.  Some kinda licensing detail.  Oh well, I mean who uses flash? 

But if there's no flash, we can emulate the 83+/84+ flash apps

gCn+nDoom is on hackaday, too:

I wonder if anyone thinks that nDoom supports gCn just because of these two articles...
