Lua nHancer
« on: December 07, 2011, 08:01:20 pm »
I thought of this idea when i was using tiny-3d viewer in study hall. such an awesome program thanks to chocksta   ;). But animation and typing is so slow! this gets on my nerves. So, I want to make or have a program that runs lua scripted tns files in full screen, and speeds up the frame rate. All you have to do is rename your lua scripts like this <example.lua.tns> replacing example with the name of your lua script. This is kinda like a lua emulator, except the whole concept is not an emulator, it is a more enhanced way to use lua programs and games. such a good idea, isn't it?

You should also have it add the parts of Lua that TI removed, such as print.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

(Note: I don't actually have an Nspire, so I might not be completely correct.)

While this would be useful, I don't think it is feasible (at least not right now). The OS is very complicated, and inserting code that affects nearly everything about how Lua programs are run is incredibly complex, especially because the OS wasn't intended to be modified by programs. Even if all of that was possible, you can't simply increase the frame rate because you want to. You'd need to do some serious optimization (without any access to the source code at all!), but an overclock might be easier. Actually, overclocking grayscale Nspires is already possible, so maybe that could be possible on OS 3.0/3.1 at some point in the future. You won't get a special Lua "launcher", but the speed will be increased.

Do you mean  a better/faster version of Lua for the Nspire? It might be better to wait a bit in case TI improves the current Lua language, though, because IIRC they're supposed to improve it a lot eventually, so it would suck if nHancer took off only to be obsoleted by an even better TI version of Lua.
