Today, I'm proud to release a port of Mini vMac for the TI-Nspire! Now you can run Mac System 7 on handheld, use applications such as MacPaint and more!   Recently Mini vMac was ported to SDL, which allowed me to port it to the TI-Nspire using nSDL. This is another good example showing the power of nSDL. EDIT: Touchpad support for mouse controlDownload it here: Mini vMac for the TI-NspireTI-Planet news article

I guess I have one or two more questions for now... Sorry for the slew of questions but hopefully they'll help clear things up for people besides myself as well.
- I'm assuming that we are allowed to pre-calculate and store the values of the first few prime palindromes, like the ones with 2 or fewer digits (2, 3, 5, 7, 11), correct? Some algorithms can't really find some of these on their own and instead depend upon them being given. Storing these special cases should take less space and running time than modifying the algorithm to find them itself, and in some ways modifying the algorithm to find specific values is more or less the same thing, right?
- Related to the question above, should we agree upon some hard rule about what values can be pre-calculated and stored? I assume this rule would either have to allow a precise set of values or an maximum amount of values.
Yes, I've been wondering this too. In my current approach I have 2 and 3 hardcoded, and use 5 as a starting point. Not having them predefined would make things much more complex.

I had to use a catalog function to randomize a set and store it in a Lua table (works fine), and this is the same table.
Why not use math.random? You can easily randomise a set that way. Also, where somewhere do you randomise the set (in what event?). It might be the enviroment isn't properly loaded yet when it gets executed (with OCLua it's already loaded, because it executes the code a bit different).

A couple of days ago Vogtinator released an audio player for the TI-Nspire. The audio player utilizes the GPIO pins at the dock connector, allowing it to achieve a sample rate of 10kHz! This is already quite impressive, as you can see in the video below. At the moment you can load WAV files of max 2MB, and there are still several bugs. But Vogtinator is still working on it, and he even said that higher sample rate are possible! Not only is this a milestone in calculator audio history, but it's also the first time that the GPIO ports have been used. The GPIO ports don't only allow audio, but a great range of things are possible with them.

Indeed, and choice is very good

Rotating an image in a rectangular way (90 degree, etc) wouldn't be so hard to code in pure lua. So if that's what you need it I could code it quickly.

Did the z80 calculators have a clock before?

So Here is my question, should I add a mouseOver property to controls?
I would really like some input.
You could add a mouseOver property, but would it really be useful? I don't think that on a calculator it would be used enough to be implemented by default, and it also would slow it down a bit (always need to check every control when you move the mouse ..). Or you could add it, but disable it by default. This way the programmer could enable it if he wants it.

Try doing that on a CX ^^
I suppose it might be possible with an Ndless application.

I've have been using Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS for several years now, and I have never had to put the server down because it crashed or something similar. I'd have had an uptime of more than a year and a half if I wouldn't have had to shut it down because of a hardware issue. My server has a static IP, and I use it daily for mail, sharing media, hosting a website and providing several other services. Ubuntu 10.04 has proved to me to be perfect for a server, and I will continue to use it. And I recommend it too. As for server hardware, I recommend you to also use a RAID setup. This doesn't necessarily need to be hardware RAID, but that's always better if you can get it

shows a bit of inactivity in Lua lately I've been fairly busy in the Lua world, I just don't post a lot ^^ And I'm sure others do the same
