Wasn't there that issue though on the 83+ when it came to flash. Can't certain functions only be done from page 0 in flash which the OS controls. I think one of them was unlocking the flash.

Is it even possible to change the number seed at all on Casio calcs? On the 83+ I know you could do for example 17->Rand, but I'm not sure about Casio
Yes you can, by using Ran# (any integer between 1 and 9) which generates a number between 0 and 1. You can also use 0 as a seed but then 0 is always generated.

...C has full access over lower level parts of the OS and the hardware itself...
Technical Correction: C has partial access to the lower level parts of the OS and the hardware itself. Some things just can't be done without dipping into inline ASM. C does a heck of the lot, though, to be fair.
Just to go farther there are some things you can't do in asm either. Take windows for example, you can't get full control of the cpu due to the way the virtual memory is organized. In fact only Windows itself is allowed to view the physical memory. For some things you have to rely on the OS to do some things, which can be both good and bad. In some cases syscalls are very well written plus it prevents programs from corrupting the system. But as we know with TI many syscalls are very poorly written, but we are forced to use them.

So it seems that the Prizm's cpu, the 7305, borrows hardware from several different Renesas SuperH procs. I've already determined that the 7305 uses the exact same interrupt controller as the 7730 which is an SH4A type. The BSC also appears to be the same, but is difficult to tell as Insight only does memory reads at the longword level. The mmu though does not appear to be the same address's. One thing to note is that the 7730 does not have a built in usb controller, but I'm still convinced that Casio used a built in Renesas one. We do already know that it is not the same usb controller as the 7705 or the 7720 so checking an SH4A with a usb controller would be a good idea such as the 7763.

Inflation happens when the symbolic money cannot be physically backed up. The US treasury maintains an enormous sum of gold used to back up the dollar. When the symbolic paper dollar is produced in mass quantities each dollar then represents a smaller portion of that gold, therefore decreasing its value.

I have heard though that the stack can be overflowed in Lua. That's were the possibility of an ndless exploit is right now.

Well that's not all that surprising as the screen is 16 bit color and is a much higher resolution than the 84+. Also code size is significantly higher too. I'm just wondering if the OS ever uses all of that ram though.

They might send a request to me in the future to brainwash me back to their side  I'm into all that Casio stuff now and am hurting their nspire sales

Are you planning on transitioning at any point to gcc? I'm currently working on porting the Insight source to compile under gcc. The advantage with using gcc is that compilation is simpler and it is more optimized.

Is this using gcc or the 9860g SDK to compile?

So is this dots or is it polygons. I would recommend using polygons as they are faster to render. And I agree with Sir on that it is much less code than I expected.

I think the funniest comments are when people call calculator games fake. Stuff like:
"the sound is so obviously faked because TI calcs don't have sound cards"
"That's impossible, There is no 3D graphics card on the TI 84+"
"Haha look there's more than one shade on the screen. Calcs only have monochrome screen so this was edited in"
"You can't do that on a calculator, The basic language is too slow for that"
"You can't trick me, the TI 84+ SE can't run PC games"

I need to get more calcs to compete with you guys. I have just an 84+ SE and an fx-cg10 aka a Prizm. Maybe I should buy one or ten this summer

I suggest if you buy a color calc, don't buy the NSpire CX -- it only has Lua, and a decently slow implementation at that. I wouldn't be surprised if the Prizm had Lua support within the next month or two.
I hope you mean Casio has an interpreter, because there's no way I'm going to get a acceptable version of Khavi out that soon
We don't know what Casio is going to do yet. My guess is that they will have an OS update sometime in August or possibly July. And this update will include something big.
