Hello,

I started a small project of writing in Lua a GUI library for the TI-Nspire. At the moment there's not much; the windows are clickable and the general floating windows thing works.
As everybody loves screenshots, I give you a screenshot:



Also here's a very early video with some content in one of the windows. I can move windows around and close them also (forgot to show that, but it works).

I'm not even sure if it will actually be that useful when I eventually manage to make something usable, but we'll see about that later.
Well that's about it for the moment.

This was quick, but it's going 1.0 now. I fixed a small bug in the title screen (pressing the up arrow in the menu would make the "pixel" in the game change position) that Scout pointed out. The dot is now controlled using either tab or enter (which also means that doing sharp rises when both are pressed is possible), because the arrow key is useless. I initially wanted the player to be able to hold the key, but because the way the OS deals with key signals is crap, it has no advantage. After all tab or enter are also more comfortable and precise. Now the player can return to the title screen at any moment by pressing ctrl + menu. I made some other minor changes and slightly changed the code. This way I have a stable and clean version to work on later. The new download links are on the website.

Yes, this pleases me, I'm in! I'll start working on my 3D RPG written in Lua right away. o/

You double posted?

But yeah I didn,t notice it, as I didn't see any edit in your other post (and double-posting within 6 hours of the last post is normally not allowed ).

Thanks for the advice, though. I decided to just mash the key over and over, since it's easier that way. By the way I love the game . I planned posting a news soon, but I was busy trying two other calc games as well, which kinda slowed me down, not to mention yesterday I worked 12 hours in a row and had two other news to post X.x

Yeah, sorry my bad. Won't happen again.

by me the saving of the highscore still doesn't work... I am not if i am doing something wrong or if its the calculator(CX) or the game itself.

Try quitting the document using Ctrl + W (which is actually the way you really quit a document), it should then ask to save it.

EDIT: Bug report, I can only press the up arrow once. If I release the key, afterward it never detects anymore arrow key holding down again so after my first jump I fall down and die, no matter if I keep the up arrow pressed.

You mean when holding the key down? If yes, well then it hasn't got much to do with the program itself, but rather the way the whole OS has been made (or whatever that deals with the key presses). It only starts sending the key signals while you hold the button down after a short delay, and there is, as far as I know, no practical and accurate way of knowing when the button is held down. The controls should be quite sensitive, so just try to get used to pressing the button rather than holding it down (at least until I find a nice way to deal with the issue).

Okay new update. First of all I changed that depressive title screen into a less depressive one (long live monochrome displays! ), and now the high score shows up there also. Then I added the "floating walls" to spice up the game, just cruising straight forward in the cave won't be enough anymore. I fine-tuned the settings and cleaned up the chamber of horrors (i.e. source code) into a polished piece of art. Also some slight performance improvements were made. Download link's there now.

Yes it does look good, but it's only decorative.
Of course I prefer games with wonderful graphics rather than text-only games.
The picture is heavier than the code, and I think that's strange... But this is not a big problem.

Well the whole point of graphics is that it's just eye candy. A well-decorated and good-looking dish is always better than the same food in a rusty old barrel.

Great !
This game looks very nice, congrats !
(But the picture on the title screen must be quite heavy and not really useful)

Well, the picture on the title screen is the title screen picture after all. It might be heavy as raw text, but once it is processed and compressed by TI's tool, it gets very light. The "not really useful" is more subjective than anything else, some people might prefer to have a text-based game without graphics at all. They could just give out all those commercial games you see in shops in a small cardboard box; the artwork doesn't add anything to the game. I personally like to have a title screen, I guess I must be a perfectionist.
