Not really new prizes, but maybe goodies for 3rd place :)

Good news for the TI-Nspire Lua contest!

We're adding 3 prizes for the 2nd best program in each category - 3 TI-Nspire CAS perpetual licences.

I wish zContest separates the AXE and extended TI-BASIC.
Sig wipe!

Yeah, extended BASIC's overall speed is still no match for Axe, but who knows.

I wonder if a CX license would work with a non CX calc setup for TI's Student Software... I need a license badly :(
If it does, I might make a markup language that compiles to Lua code, and submit a game made with that.

Need a few routines to run faster ? Checkout the MODS Lua Assembly Toolkit.

Some licence numbers don't work for older Nspire software versions, as the number format has changed over the years.

But it's hard to test without *using* the licence number, which is out of question here :P

If you made it with the license won for the contest, your entry would be too late for the contest O.O

I'm currently developing NSpire stuff with nspire_emu.
So I would use that for testing, submit it, and then (hopefully) win.
But at the pace I'm not making progress with, this won't happen.

* NecroBumpist will be forever limited to nspire_emu

nspire_emu is so much more accurate than the Student Software. Even as a simulator it sucks... I think TI meant for it simply as a math package, not necessarily to act like a real Nspire. Still very useful though :)

I do not intend to use the Student Software for emulation, but rather as a viable means of actually sending files to my calc.
I simply cannot get TiLP to stop giving DLL errors.

Oh right, it's the only official software for linking, isn't it? I don't have a real Nspire so I forgot about that.
