Nice!

You can try removing a few of the HAVE_* defines in SDL_config_prizm.h, as SDL does implement a few of the functions. Also doesn't the Prizm have a 320x240 usable screen (EDIT: apparently it doesn't indeed)?

The "programmer" view (raw keyboard representation) should remain available

What's the purpose of this raw keyboard representation?

I'd say it's a tiny bit more practical to have a clear tabular view of keys and their status without the eye candy.

I've now updated nSDL to 0.3.2. I've done some major housekeeping, the code should be a lot cleaner and everything should be nicely organized (the current video code for instance (here) is nearly twice as small as 0.2.0's 400-liner (here)). I've purged all crap from everywhere, no more mouse support because it wasn't perfect when using SDL_PollEvent() and I couldn't bother to debug it (and I think Lua's better for that kind of stuff), no more diagonal arrow key support I added in the previous version. Removing those two simplified the event fetching code to a simple little loop, which means it's faster and I'm much more content with it. It's such a rewarding feeling to clean shit up.

Anyway I also added SDL_gfx and updated fdlibm no one's heard about (it's a working, fast, Sun's full implementation of math.h functions; newlib's math functions don't work): https://github.com/Hoffa/nSDL/wiki/Additional-libraries
I haven't really tested SDL_gfx THAT MUCH, but it should run alright. SDL_gfx allows you to rotate and stretch images, draw anti-aliased lines, circles, triangles and all of your deepest fantasies. If I remember correctly it should do some heavy surface conversions on the fly so it might be pretty damn slow on a calculator, but I haven't tested so what do I know.

So here are the changes:
- Removed mouse, diagonal arrow key support
- Using SDL_GetVideoInfo() should now always give accurate information
- Faster event loop
- A LOT of cleaning up
- Apart from nSDL itself, added SDL_gfx and updated fdlibm

I think I'm finally ready to leave my baby for quite a long time.

Is there any way of easily finding where you made changes to the SDL source? I would like to look a little to see what it takes to port it to a new platform

Sure. Check out the source code here: https://github.com/Hoffa/nSDL
If you don't see "Initial commit." next to the file, it means I've changed something. Click on the message the view the changes of that commit. You can browse different commits here also: https://github.com/Hoffa/nSDL/commits/master
Most of the interesting stuff is in the src/ folder obviously.

Now that SDL for the TI-Nspire works rather well and has been under development for some time, I will probably (despite my finals) try and port a very fast software implementation of OpenGL (based on TinyGL). That could mean some serious 3D stuff soon. There'll also be a very last update for nSDL that basically does some final cleaning up to leave a nice little package before I go.

Actually it is multi-platform, except for the TI-Nspire-specific functions that are not part of standard SDL (which you can view here). That means you won't be able to use nSDL's font system to draw strings on your PC basically (it could be integrated into a custom PC SDL build without too much trouble however, as it's not just a bunch of separate files dependent on nothing but standard SDL). So just write your SDL games using 320x240 resolution and 16-bit color depth and you'll be fine (of course no audio support on TI-Nspire as you can imagine)

You guys should update the rules (cheating isn't mentioned) to impose a few limits, at least we'll know what to expect next time.

Alright let's settle this once and for all.

In the other thread we tried to explain our self, yet:

Quote from: Hoffa

If you want to keep sucking TI's corporate dick, fine, but don't go around judging other guys' acts based on your deluded ideas.

And other things pointing that we where ridiculous. I stayed calm in that thread, but I see this thread almost as a direct attack against us.

That is a language-related issue, and I agree that using the word "dick" might be a bit harsh, but it does not alter the substance of my post, which was mostly targeted at Haleya who said comp was disrespectful towards all of the coders, that he destroyed all hope and whatnot. I just now reread the thread, and I have to admit the language was inappropriate; I apologize for that.

We were just messing a bit on this topic because I think these kind of internal wars about PTT etc. shouldn't even happen. It's ridiculous to fight about these 'issues' and this is how we showed it. Accept my apologies for this n00bish behavior but I couldn't resist. Talking about "cheating" etc. like the way you did just made me laugh a bit ("miserable hobo" part) at least that's a good part in these topics.
(Also, you're speaking about decency etc. but you've been swearing...).

I understand fully. As far as the swearing is concerned, that's just the way I express myself, and it does not directly imply disrespect.

I've expressed my opinion about such PTTKillers tools only once today, and I didn't intend to argue. Maybe I'm totally wrong, but this is not the point here.

Hoffa, I have nothing against you, but your post in the previous thread was allready border-line:
http://ourl.ca/16356/305301

And the last one above is totally unacceptable on Omnimaga:
http://ourl.ca/16362/305390

It's insulting and you're showing absolutely no respect towards people who don't share your ideas.
You're behaving exactly like the angsty 15-year-old teenagers you describe and maybe even worse...

I've reported your post to moderators, and hope that you'll grow up and learn to accept and respect people who don't agree with you in the future.

For my defense, I'd say I was merely giving back what I got with that comment. I could see the genuine maliciousness in that little act (which is not often the case for me). I rarely am angry at anyone, it's just the way I dip my sentences in swear words and metaphors that makes it look like I'm an intolerant prick. Without exaggerating, I'm probably one of the most tolerant people around, but I won't go into that.

This should not happen in the future, but just so that you know, I rarely am as furious as I might seem. I'm the very calm type of guy really (but with opinions, and respectful towards those of others), but as mentioned numerous times, the way I express myself might be deceiving of my true nature or of my intentions.

Anyway I do not have the time nor do I wish to spend the whole day arguing here; I give my sincere apologies for whoever who felt attacked, insulted, or disrespected in any way.

I hope this'll settle the matter and that we can peacefully coexist--although with different opinions--in the future.
