Title: Rookie request & lot of questions.
Post by: Kekishero 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
