I'm trying to optimize it right now. I think a good place to start would be trying to change some of the math to fixed-point.
The Nspire is not that hard to program right now. The graphics functions are quite usable, we have things like malloc(), and from what I've heard we also have file access functions. The only essential thing we don't have right now is text I/O. The fact that most of the standard library is missing doesn't really affect game programming.

Ok, good to know. But a library with several graphics functions (sprites, tiles mapper, custom font routine) and other functions could make easier for starting.
I will later get involved in Nspire scene after I am somewhat realized in z80.

Another nice program.
ticalc has been flood with good projects, I didn't saw nothing like this. And some for a long time. Omnimaga is start to make a huge impact in reviving releases activity into ticalc.

Yeah true. It seems a lot of major stuff comes from this forums. Back then it was TCPA, RadicalSoft then later Detacheds and Macross Software. Then it was MaxCoderz and then barely anything came out. Now it definitively seems calcs have done some sort of comeback

I've been thinking about writing a library. I have some useful functions used by the ray caster (draw to a buffer, sort an array, and some math functions) and I might split them off into the beginnings of a separate "Nspire Utility Library" project.

Congrats indeed! I was wondering why you weren't featured already. Finally it turned out the staff were busy so they had like 4 or 5 features in their news queue, waiting to be posted one by one every few days. You deserve it.
* DJ Omnimaga hopes you will finish this project too and that someone makes a game ^^

Congratz on the feature! Even though I didn't try it out myself (I don't want to downgrade from 2.0.1), the screenshots are all epic! Awesome work!

Are you still planning to make a small demo game using this engine or if development for this is completly over? (noticing the lack of updates in a long while, despite school being done)

It's not over yet! I have another Nspire project that I'm working on at the moment.
