Rookie request & lot of questions.
« on: October 03, 2011, 12:14:30 pm »
I don't know where I should post this, or is this even reasonable, but anyways is there a possibily of someone coding Zork to TI Nspire CX Cas, or has someone done that? Other question, is there a pokemon game/emulator for the Nspire CX Cas could someone give me a link and easy instructions how to install it? I also would like to learn to code this calculator, so links to easy tutorials how to do it. I have read all kinds of pokemon/emulator posts here but I dont understand them. Dont stone me please   ;D

Hi, and welcome here. To answer your questions;
1. No idea what Zork is or what it entails. The Nspire CX and CX CAS are limited to LUA and BASIC at the moment for programming. BASIC is unsuitable for almost all games. LUA is decent and has graphical support, but isn't good enough for overly complex things.

2.There aren't any emulators out for the CX/CX CAS yet. This would require ASM which at present is unusable on the CX/CX CAS. Their hasn't been a standalone pokemon game release as of yet either.

3.There are tutorial for LUA somewhere, but I don't program for the CX/CX CAS and I don't know the URL off hand. There are a fair amount of LUA programmers around though, so I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction. :)

If I could find the original source code (which I think I just did) I'd try my hand at it. :)

Edit2: Due to the fact that I cannot read the source code and I can't find any resources that state every command you can do at any room and their effects I don't think I can port this game. I am, however, tempted to make my own text adventure from scratch though. :D

Oh I love text adventure games :D

(As a funny side note, this might be easier to do in BASIC than in Lua!) O_o

Edit: For Lua tutorials

Have fun :D

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...
