Oh nice. I wonder if it can be easily integrated into a pre-made software. I know TI-Planet uses PhpBB3, but a lot of the portal was edited by Critor and others.

Well it integrates into the phpBB registration thing, it has nothing to do with the portal (well, just the coode to show the button, that's all). Maybe there is a forum plugin directly, I don't remember

It may just be me, but it seems like that would invite more spambots.

I don't think so (at least it's never been the case for us)

Can it run the programs too or do you still need the TINCS/Handheld to test? (I guess the latter )

Indeed this is just for editing.

But then you have for example Luna, which you can use in a shell script to build your files and open the .tns in the software etc, all that called from within the IDE with a build configuration.

We use that for FormulaPro : https://github.com/adriweb/EEPro-for-Nspire/blob/master/build.sh

Edit : however, if you want to test out some algorithms for example, written in "pure" lua, it will run indeed in the console

(for that you have to install Lua for your computer tho)

Lua / Nspire-Lua IDE : plugin for Intellij IDEA

« on: October 18, 2012, 04:58:12 pm »

I have talked about "Intellij IDEA" on

the tinspire group as a Lua IDE (thanks to its wonderful Lua plugin), and I believe it can be quite good for you guys, especially for big projects where the current SDK isn't efficient (no support of multiple files etc.).

Here's some details on how to setup what you can see at the bottom of this post

Basically, you can do either :
This (longer but it will make seperate SDKs for normal computer Lua and Nspire Lua)

Download Lua for windows 5.1
Add a new Lua SDK in Intellij (you can find that in the module settings, for example)
Select the Lua folder in program files as the lua sdk folder.
Download my addon and decompress it somewhere
Add from my addon the folder "nspirelua-api" as an external classpath folder in your new SDK
Save, apply, etc.

or (easier/faster but it will make computer lua think it has nspire lua API available) :

In Intellij's ( / module's ) settings, edit the KahLua SDK
Download my addon and decompress it somewhere
Add from my addon the folder "nspirelua-api" as an external classpath folder in your new SDK
Save, apply, etc.

After all that, create a new Lua project, and in the libraries on the left side, you should see not only the stdlib (of which you can unlink the io and debug API which aren't present on the Nspire), and you should be able to enjoy Intellij's Lua plugin things but for the Nspire Lua API too.
This it what it looks like when it's set up, on my computer :

Autocompletion example (of the events and other functions ) :

Auto-completion + arguments help :

Interactive documentation based onInspired-Lua's wiki : (Ctrl-Q on a word)

Good luck and have fun :)[/list][/list]

Other Calculators / Re: What graphing calculators do your school have?

« on: October 18, 2012, 02:15:05 am »

My engineer school generally doesn't allow calculators, simply. However, for exams where it is really needed (rarely, according to them...), they have about 100-150 TI-30X II

.

My High school however allowed any calc for exams/tests, but since I live in France, students pay for (and bring) their own calc... I don't know if the school actually even has some calculators of its own to lend to students when needed. (Btw, I was in a private school but I believe it's kinda the same for anywhere, anyway)

In my year of High School, I remember the school were advising TI-84+ (and TI-89T IIRC?) for the students to buy (useful for homework etc.) but they also have 84+ anyway to lend.
