Android has cheaper tablets! Also it had two humble bundles! Go Android! 

You can buy both for a bit above 100 dollars. Nspire still enjoys Lua Programming, so it still has some programmability. Casio development is probably a bit more active on Cemetech though...

Well, here's a version I put together with some sprites. It looks pretty nice, but the program runs noticeably slower... Any ideas on making it faster?

Thanks, jim.  The only thing is that I have to add all the new lines, but that is much easier than eliminating everything else.
Btw, I dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows XP.

Current method to put Lua file from Calc to Comp.
1. Install ndless.
2. Use TNS2XML by excale to turn TI-Notepad document into two .xml files. http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9295&p=124483
3. Send the problem.xml to your computer.
4. Use http://bwns.be/jim/xml2lua.html to delete extra stuff.
5. Add newlines and check for correct code
6. Done! 

Edit: A few < and > were dropped off. And the sprite had \\ instead of \ in many places.

Thanks! That's pretty cool. So now I have the XML file on my computer, but the source is caught up in all sorts of nodes, leafs, words, and whatnot. Is there any easy way to clean up the XML just to get the source?

Here is the working scripted dumper for TI-Nspire basic 3.0.1
You'll need to wait a bit so  that I'll search for the other addresses (OS dependant)

Ok Thanks. So basically, all I do is put it in a bash file and then run it after I launch my document in nspire_emu?

Well, what about TNS2XML

(oops I just leaked some info )

It should be posted soon tho

Edit : I don't know when, it's not fully ready.
(but I dont know since I'm not the author )

Um ok. TNS2XML sounds interesting.

Well, Lua development certainly has slowed down a bit. Anyways, I now introduce my latest project, Runner Jumper! It's kinda based off Canabalt. You run across the rooftops and go as far as possible. Although you don't see in the screenie, it gets faster as you go on.

Hiscore actually works with this program. I have been programming on-calc, so the program is being run on nspire_emu with oclua.

I'm probably going to add a better, moving sprite. Dimensions are 10*15 if you're interested.

Screenie is attached and suggestions are welcome!  

Edit: I just noticed how choppy the screenshot was. It's not actually that bad in the game

Yay! It's working again. Good to hear.
