Hehe :D
You should have responded: "Almost all existing ones" :D

The hidden upgrade stuff never did not happen yet. I found that it was possible when figuring the update protocol out. There is a warning system set up so that the community will be warned if the enable it.

And no, I can't buy you CAS calcs :P

I was just sarcastic because of Dingus comment (acting like I was on the dark side).

But yes, we can get paid for some stuff.

3.  A few people have gone over to the dark side and paint a rosey picture of the future for nspire programming which doesn't seem to have any basis in fact and needs to be filtered by reality checks.

But it's fun! And the emperor pays more to people lying to the rebels.
I took the job that gets paid the most :)

I don't think TI hates us ..
They just don't like it.

The TI community is not dying but the Ndless community is. Chockosta almost gave up programming because of TI's actions. And Lua will never bring us any GBC emulator.
The only thing TI wants to avoid is OS launcher so stop updating it and we might have that "freedom to tinker" you keep asking for. And when I say "stop updating it", it is not "stop updating it during 3 weeks and TI will change, the update it", but "stop updating it".

I'm not the developer of OS launcher, and I'm not the one who is constantly asking for "freedom to tinker".
I think you might have mixed me with someone else.

@Hoffa, TI (TI-Nspire section) does give a damn about us. They have showed it multiple ways:
- By sending email to all magor TI-Communities
- By contacting several community members, allowing them to beta test stuff
- By listening to multiple of our sugestions

@DJ, the print command was changed for something compatibilty with their upcomming SDK. TI did not think anyone would use it (Seriously, I think they never expected sound through it). I pointed them out to some nice stuff you could do with it, and they will change/revert it in the next dev cycle.

Also, the Lua platform is just becomming popular. It's important to know the Lua enviroment was quite hidden to other people than the community until T3 2012.
TI actively showed Lua (with links to the community) to many teachers, who are now started to have fun with it (you can see the trend on the nspire google group).
Also, many Lua programs are being developed 'underground'. I got some projects I haven't posted yet about, and I'm sure others too.

Now, I don't think the TI community is dying. I think it's in a special fase, as there are many factors we did not have previously.
I have to agree with Adriweb in many points too, and I don't think we have to choose a side. TI knows that many TI-Planet admins such as Adriweb work on Ndless, yet they continue to have contact with them. TI clearly isn't forcing us into choosing a side. And if the community forces us to choose .. well then I know what side I would be on.
But this isn't the case, and I'm happy to be able to work both with TI and the Ndless dev team ;)

I just wanted to clarify some Nspire stuff

- There is no on-calc editor in 3.2. The student software comes with a SDK built in. However, there are multiple Lua programs that allow you to code on-calc, so this isn't a problem.
- TI cannot fully lock the Nspire, there will always be holes to exploit. It might take longer, but as Olivier stated he will not give up on Ndless development. And I will not either.
- TI is actively improving the Lua language, and they are very open to suggestions.
- TI isn't that evil either. I recently asked them why they removed/disabled the print command in Lua. They reason was not to annoy us, and now there is a very big chance that it will return in the OS after 3.2.

And as Albert stated, great stuff in the Nspire scene are just beginning.

Well, TI-Planet has them listed in their archives, so I don't think it is necesarry :)

Looks nice :)

What about some way to add buttons/inputs to the screen and make the arduino respond to it?
:D

What error do you get? Could you post a screenshot?

Did you somehow change the permissions of some dot files in your home directory?  (possible by editing them as root)

I have only briefly looked at the non-English TI community, but I think they are an important part of the TI community history and should be involved in this project as well.
I've been updating the TI-Planet page, and think the other TI-Planet admins will contribute too :)

Math and Science / Re: Polygon algorithm
« on: April 05, 2012, 08:13:16 am »
Well, it's for multiple stuff.
I would have put it in the math section if I knew we had one :P (I never really browse the forum using the boards)

Xeda, triangulation is fine but I rather would have bigger polygons as it will use lower resources in some of my stuff.
I'll see if I can use your method, thanks :)

Math and Science / Polygon algorithm
« on: April 05, 2012, 05:46:32 am »
Does anyone here have a good algorithm to split a concave polygon in multiple convex ones?
I've looked a bit, but can't find an easy solution. In the worst case I just could use triangulation, but that's overkill in my opinion :P

TIA :)
