Some of the new bugs have been fixed.

I know it is restricted. And that is why we asked TI to improve it :)
They understood that the functionality could have good use. However I do not know if/when/how it will be done.

Yup, you can get data from Library documents using [lua]math.eval[/lua] or [lua]var.recall[/lua] :)
The only annoying thing is that you will need to know the name of the external library.

I and Adrien have talked to TI regarding the matter, showing where it could be useful. TI might improve external reading/writing in the future.
(also, you can already read external files)

Lua / TI & Lua

TI updated their scripting page a bit a couple of days ago:
http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/nonProductSingle/nspire-scripting.html

Some interesting statements:

For programmers and the programming community
The wider programming community gains a potential programming and gaming platform that can well suit their needs. We look forward to seeing programmers band together through existing online communities to share their work and learn from one another.

At least they recognize that there is/was a need. And because several members of the community have close contact with TI, stuff will only get better :)
Also, they clearly don't mind games ..

Getting started with Lua scripting for TI-Nspire technology
Try a series of tutorials that will take you from getting started to creating TI-Nspire documents with the Script Editor. Learn more

These tutorials use OcLua (made by ExtendeD)  ;D

Both things show that they slowly start appreciating the community again. This is because it benefits them too. (So if they would open up to native programming, it would benefit them a great deal). If TI continues with this trend I think we will see some great stuff happening :)

Levak, the platform, math, etc libs do get loaded before on.construction runs. However, the display window isn't initialized yet, so platform.window:height() and platform.window:height() return 0.
It would be a good idea to put this code in on.resize.
on.construction is still good for var, document, math, local and other stuff.

Art_of_camelot: Thank you :)
Also, maybe this topic could be pinned ? I think it's pretty useful for people :)

Edit: yay, it is pinned !

Lua / Re: Taking my hand at Lua
« on: June 08, 2012, 10:14:56 am »
The events [lua]on.arrowUp[/lua] and [lua]on.arrowDown[/lua] will be called when pressing up/down.
In this function you will need increment/decrement an variable that contains a number representing the menu item that is selected.
After setting this variable you need to run [lua]platform.window:invalidate()[/lua]. This will trigger the display to be invalidate, so [lua]on.paint[/lua] will run.
In on.paint you need to draw your menu stuff.

This sounds probably too complex for a beginner :P

Added a link to the API doc :)

Okay, I'll try to harden my skin a bit then :P
Anyway, thank you for being this calm now.

Also, I'm sorry for going of track and acting ridiculous, but somehow I could not resist. Anyway you will not see posts like that of me anymore.

It is not like you where showing respect to us.

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 me.

Oh my, this is just amazing!
Are you also going to add google docs support so students can exchange stuff ?

TI-Nspire / Re: PTTKiller - Enable access to documents in PTT mode
« on: June 07, 2012, 11:10:07 am »
Indeed, they blocked it before such tools where available, in order to prevent it. (Not that I am defending them)
But, this program might make things worse. That's all I'm trying to say.

Lionel, I'm not trying to make anyone of you feel bad.

However, I think it's not a good idea, because it might make matters for people using the TI-Nspire much worse.
I know that you (and compu probably) are angry at TI, but doing this is in my opinion not a good step.
The sole reason why they block Ndless is to prevent these things. While we did not even do it before, this might make them lock the device down even more.
And then we can start looking at a Lua only future for the TI-Nspire.
