Aw man... I was really excited that it was Mohjang and not Mohjang solitaire...
Misleading title

I didn't know there was another game named Mohjang than the one he ported ^^

So any chances that this will be available for the non-cas ever?

I believe that's not a problem
(However, CX is probably a pre-requisite)

Check for your Nspire model here and download the 3.1 OS.
http://tiplanet.org/forum/archives_list.php?id=OS%20Nspire

The Nspire series is completely incompatible with both the TI-Z80 and the TI-68k series.

However, you can "easily" adapt a 68k Basic application as the language isn't very different (but don't count on any graphic-related functions in the Nspire's version. For that you should look at Lua :-) )

Actually, the utmost important thing here is to fully understand the bits and bolts of TI/Lua specific event mechanism,
(what/when/why triggers), which gives you then the real power in designing apps.

Where can one find an additional/complete documentation on that subject?

I guess you can see this article here : http://www.inspired-lua.org/2011/05/concepts-and-basics/ (basics) and http://www.inspired-lua.org/2011/05/linking-events/ (a bit more about events)
and the next ones.

More practice-oriented tutorials can be found here, then : http://compasstech.com.au/TNS_Authoring/Scripting/

Don't worry I have reported it already

(About 1,5 months ago.)

The technical explanation behind this, is (thanks to levak for pointing this out) : the string loaded is probably non-valid and returns 0, which corresponds to the current language.

It is planned as fixed for the next major release (just got that confirmed a few days ago actually)


also :

So we do have contact with TI here? Wow that's quite nice.

Yes, from programmers (to which we report these kinds of bugs) to executives (useful for sharing "higher" feedback, ideas etc.)

Copying and pasting some text might work, as would accessing TI-BASIC variables... but without external help, TI's proprietary Lua, which does not have io.* and os.* functions (i.e., among other limitations and incompatibilities with standard Lua, no external file access) cannot get text from a .tns.

I believe he's talking about the OcLua's text in page 2 which is a Notes page. So not-related with TI's Nspire-Lua. But still, it's a closed format.

The "only" easy way is to open it with the computer software. Then copy/paste it wherever you want it.


Anyway, about your script : no problems for me for any of your codes...
(Also, remember to put the least possible code (only the final graphics/screen drawing -related things) in the paint method since it's going to get called quite often and you don't want it to slow the rest

Adriweb: Yes, both Omnimaga and TI-Planet are offered as forum options in Appendix C, especially with regards to their Nspire work. I'd be happy to sign one for you and then ship it to you if you had it shipped to me; PM me.

Great, PM'ed (irc)

Also, to our French compatriots, I have the ball rolling on a French translation. If you are interested in helping with the project, or have chatted with any French publishers in the past so we can explore all our options, I'd be very interested in chatting privately.

Same, I'd be glad to help for translation (I've already done some translation jobs) at any level. But I'm still a student so having collaborator translators would be better for us (+ checkings + time saving etc.)
