Well, I made this post very active with only one off-topic sentence...

So let's get rid of any misunderstanding and stop talking about it.

I just wanted to specify that :
1) If I want my students to know something about their calculators I get them first to TI-Planet,
2) If they want a little more, I talk about Omnimaga too... but a bunch of my students are afraid about writing... even in french, not considering english writing as a possibility. Their abilities are maths, physics and a bit on computer science... that's it.


To get back on topic, I'm pretty impressed by this new release.
I just wanted to know if it is planned to :
1) use UTF8 encoding ?
2) let users choose the place for MicroPython run ?

  That's nice, compu.
I didn't try it yet, but thanks for beeing the first to shoot...

Also, one of my students noticed that there is no key combination for the % character in nTxt. As it symbolizes "modulo" in Python, it is clearly needed, so it should be added to the priority list.

unless you mean making nTxt so that it lets people write Python code inside it instead of just plain text files, which would definitively be very great.

That's exactly what I meant. Sorry for being unclear.

In fact, it already works. Just type your Python code in nTxt, save it as "anything.py.tns" and MicroPython will launch it.
My feature requests were only to simplify some routines many times repeated when testing a new program...

With the actual version of nTxt, if you want to modify a previously saved "anything.py.tns", you have to :
- launch nTxt
- ask to open an existing document
- close the current (empty) one
- search for your document in tree hierarchy and finally open it

Then you add the ":" that you forgot, save and close for testing it again.

And you have to do it again if you want to change anything.
It can get very annoying, especially for students leaning the language and making many syntax errors.

It would be a real big plus if this could be simplified.


If nTxt is not developped anymore, maybe I or someone else could modify it to allow these features (I didn't see any license, but the sources are given...) Just asking...

Hi, everyone reading this.

I'm here to report a supposed bug of gbc4nspire.

I had a problem while playing "Zelda - Link' awakening". After finishing level 1, you have to save "Bow-wow" from the Moblins. I could do it once and even continue up to half of the level 2. But then, the save seems to have failed since I had to restart from the last save and from now on, each time I try to get to the Moblins lair, the game and the calc freeze just after I beat the first Moblin. Grey and white stripes appear on all screen and only a reset can save you.

Don't know if it is known or even if Gbc4nspire is the cause... but I think it was to be said.

Apart from that, great job from calc84maniac.
