Educational Lua scripts samples
« on: May 21, 2011, 11:06:27 am »
Did some of you know about these Lua samples? The page has been removed by its author but the TNS and Lua source files are still available.

They seem to have been produced by the official (currently private) Lua SDK.

Whoa... So there really is an SDK. I wonder what TI'll do with it.

Nice find!  I wonder if we'll ever see that SDK.

It's even nicer than I initially thought. I urge you to search for "tools" on the Lua source file page (as long as it's still there).

This is real cool!
Lets hope TI will release the SDK open to the public!

But "open to the public" isn't really this.

Is it just me, or did the /scripting directory get taken down?
PS- First post  :)

Yes. We have backups of the files, so a mirror might appear soon.

The site owner has probably notice heavy downloads and taken it down.
But a mirror would be illegal.

Yes, you're right. We'll have to be careful.

I'm the kind of person who usually doesn't care about legal issues :P

Takedown-resistant hosting would remain illegal, but hard to take down.

I moved this to the news section. Interesting stuff.

I guess they leaked it but it was a mistake.

I definitively think they plan to release a SDK in the future, but will it be free?

I wonder if the following news was related? http://ti.bank.free.fr/index.php?mod=news&ac=commentaires&id=1109 It talks about some TI-BANK staff having been contacted by TI to test something allowing them to create Lua files, but couldn't tell more, because the rest of the info remains confidential for now.

Right afterward, a TI-Nspire Lua website opened: http://www.inspired-lua.org/

I do not know if the latter is by the community or not, though, but there seems to be some clues that a SDK or tool to create Lua files for OS 3.0.2 might arrive.

Why?
Would it be more illegal than hosting old TI OSes/softwares for exemple? In what way?

Well, after the leak, even if they wanted, they'd have a hard time selling the SDK...

The TI-Bank news #1109 is related, indeed.
