Honestly I think a greater emphasis on more viable programming platforms may help traffic. Prizm's, 83's/84's and computers are pretty unlocked while the nspire periodically gets unlocked and then blocked again a few months later. I am not by any means advocating leaving the nspire but I'm saying that we should emphasize some other kinds of  work also. I still say that if we could get the computer section up and running so that it is used a good amount more then it currently is being used then it would help the whole site. Also as others have said the prizm is here and its open a port of axe or of other languages to it may help it even more so that you could have everyone be able to develop for it.

If you could talk about chords that would be nice. I want to learn as much as I can

Image Loading Cross Post from Cemetech

I couldnt get 8 bit working but heres the function that correctly loads 16 bit SDL_Surface* LoadSCImage(Uint16* image, int x, int y)
{
SDL_Surface  *rimage, *tempsurf =  SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom(image, x, y, 16, 2*x, PZM_RMASK16,PZM_GMASK16,PZM_BMASK16,0);
rimage = SDL_DisplayFormat(tempsurf);
SDL_FreeSurface(tempsurf);
return rimage;
}
I'll compile this and a few things from hoffa's nSDL to a seperate library when i came back to work on this in August

I think I will implement that too.
I'll be putting these in a second library called pSDLlib so that my pSDL port remains SDL and pSDLlib is an addition for easier use
thanks hoffa.

I created Simon the memory game for prizm using pSDL to show the basics of what it can currently do(I'm working on image loading and I may be able to finish before I leave tomorrow).
At the first menu heres what you can do
Press 1 to start it with text at the bottom for which arrow it maps to
press AC/ON to start without the help
press esc to exit

while it is running it will who each color/help if you enabled it for 3/4 of a second and then once all are shown it will go to black and you can start inputing arrows and the screen will change to the appropriate color
if you manage to get to 25 correct you win(the game)

My code is not exactly the best example of SDL code but here it is...

EDIT: fixed error where esc could lock up calc

I brute forced it too to see if that might show something other then the bring nothing

heres the code it runs with the standard C lib
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct ChangeStruct
{
int pennies;
int nickels;
int dimes;
int quarters;
int amount;
} Change;

Change calculateChange(int amount)
{
int tempamount = amount;
Change result = {0,0,0,0,amount};
if (tempamount >= 25)
{
result.quarters = amount / 25;
tempamount -= result.quarters * 25;
}
if (tempamount >= 10)
{
result.dimes = tempamount / 10;
tempamount -= result.dimes * 10;
}
if (tempamount >= 5)
{
result.nickels = 1;
tempamount -= 5;
}
if (tempamount > 0)
{
result.pennies = tempamount;
}
return result;
}

int countCoins(Change counted)
{
int total;
total = counted.pennies + counted.nickels + counted.dimes + counted.quarters;
return total;
}

Change subtractChange(Change first, int second)
{
if (first.amount > second) return calculateChange(first.amount - second);
else return calculateChange(second - first.amount);
}

void printCoins(Change printNeeded)
{
printf("%d pennies\n%d nickels\n%d dimes\n%d quarters\n", printNeeded.pennies, printNeeded.nickels, printNeeded.dimes, printNeeded.quarters);
}

int main()
{
int smallestTotal, smallestE, currentE, smallestL, currentL, total;
Change smallestCoins, currentCoins, subtractCoins, returnCoins;
double smallestAverage=100.0, currentAverage;
for ( int i=0; i<100; i++)
{
total = 0;
currentCoins = calculateChange(i);
currentE = countCoins(currentCoins);
for ( int j=0; j<100; j++)
{
currentL = countCoins(subtractChange(currentCoins, j));
total += currentL + currentE;
}
currentAverage = total / 100.0;
if (currentAverage < smallestAverage)
{
smallestAverage = currentAverage;
smallestTotal = currentL + currentE;
smallestE = currentE;
smallestCoins = currentCoins;
}
}
printCoins(smallestCoins);
printf("With average %f\n", smallestAverage);
printf("Entered with %d coins\n", smallestE);
}

and the result was
0 pennies
0 nickels
0 dimes
0 quarters
With average 4.700000
Entered with 0 coins

This seems wrong to me so please help me find if there is an error in my code

EDIT: I fixed it so that 0 coins was an option

Though i think I'll have to port SDL_image so we can use smaller images then bmp(though I'm still not sure if bmp loading works currentlly)

EDIT: since file i/o currently doesnt work I'll find a way to implement the header based images everyone else used for SDL

time to brute force it
I could write a program to do that but i think someone should make the proof first of what is best
