News / Lua on the Nspire?
« on: April 12, 2011, 10:12:56 pm »
Earlier today, Texas Instruments introduced a seemingly innocent Periodic Table TNS Document for the Nspire.



At first usage of the "Periodic Table" page of this document, it is clear that it certainly could not be created with any of the existing Applications for the TI-Nspire.  After more investigations by members of TI-BANK it has become evident that TI used a new, mysterious application, "TI.ScriptApp", to develop this Periodic Table.  Furthermore, more searching into this tns file has shown that this language very well may be Lua.

Sadly, Texas Instruments has released no indication of allowing public users of the Nspire to develop using the "ScriptApp" application.  It is probably safe to assume that special SDK software is needed for easy development of these documents.  Nevertheless, having the ability to program in Lua on the Nspire offers many possibilities for Nspire developers.  Although it might be difficult to make an emulator in Lua, games such as simple Card Games (solitaire) and puzzle games (Block Dude) might be easily developed in this language!

Other Calculators / Re: Do you plan to purchase an Nspire CX?

I am considering buying one, but, like yunhua98, I am hoping to get one for free if I can participate/do well at ARML.

TI-Nspire / Re: TI-Nspire Character Map

This looks nice! :)

I will be sure to try it when I get some free time!

As far as I know, I do not think that this is possible to do. :(

In some math, rationalizing the numerator as opposed to the denominator can be favorable.  I guess the CAS is going on this route before returning its answer.

OmnomIRC Development / Re: Should I Allow colors in OmnomIRC?
« on: April 08, 2011, 10:07:14 pm »
The only practical purpose I can think of for colors would be for a mod to send a message, but other than that, I can't think of any.  I think it would be best to keep the colors disabled.

Did anyone try to launch Nleash or the Ndless installer?
I hope you didnt get a "document not supported" message, which would mean TI has fixed things...

I did not try this on actual hardware yet, but I can confirm that opening the ndless installer on OS 3.0 in the emulator immediately gives a "Document Type not Supported" error. :'(

Maybe they decided that it was too cruel to us. :P

No, they might have found a serious bug that they want to fix now.

Or they are changing it so the boot 2 workaround does not work anymore...

Is it just me, or are the download links in the OP and those on TI's website not working??  Likewise, TI's home page reads "Latest TI-Nspire OS - July 2010" instead of yesterday's "Latest TI-Nspire OS - April 2011". ???

I'll try as soon as I test OS 3.0, which will be tonight if I have time (I have an oral presentation that I only practiced once tomorrow...) or definitely tomorrow.

FWIW, I did on my nspire. I haven't even figured out how to make a 3d graph.

If I had to guess, I would say open a graph page, press menu, and then go to graph type and choose 3D.  This might not be right, though, as it is based on experience from older OSes.

I am really tempted to (safely) upgrade to see what the 3D graphs looks, but I don't want to risk anything going wrong...
Hopefully, emulator support will come soon! :)

I think you should news, or edit the 1st post about the downgrade protection.

The TNOC way can only work if applied before the 3.0 upgrade.
Else, you'll have to buy an RS232 interface, or send the calculator to me.

I added it!  Thank you for your tests, critor! :)

I guess TI didn't think we could beat our established record of about 2 weeks with Nleash. :P
