A shell for ndless-enabled nSpires
« on: May 13, 2011, 09:44:14 pm »
I'm working on a shell, probably in C, less likely in ARM since I have no idea how to use it. I still need help with setting up graphics and making a text-drawing system. I'd rather someone contribute to these than give me too complex a set of instructions so I can put your name in the credits once I get that far. I still have to decide a name.

These are my candidates thus far:


Proton
Conch
Drawing-Board

I like proton as a name. You might want to set up a poll for that.

It would be nice, but make sure the interface is very user-friendly, to convince people to run their games from the shell rather from the documents screen.

I planned on that, the only problem is how finicky ndless C is.

Or maybe to stay in the mood of starting Ndless program names with an N, call it NanoCS or something?

Isn't there any terminal emulator with framebuffer output that could, with some effort (possibly not as much for the graphics part as for the keyboard handling and underlying system API, e.g. the POSIX layer that we don't have entirely), be ported to the Nspire ?

I just need some .c and .h files to draw sprites and text, with documentations.

This might be useful for you:
http://nspforge.unsads.com/p/nspireio
Text Input/Output + documentated header files.

And a function for drawing sprites can be found here.
