Well, they would have enough power to program the periodic table app.
Even if they don't release an SDK, we would still have their libs to use.

Also, I am not going to jump on any conclusions at all.  All of my statements are pure speculation.

how can anything be slower than Nspire BASIC?
True.  A three-toed sloth going across the US from east coast to west coast would finish before the NSpire could count to 999.

Both of which would finish before the Prizm could draw a stick figure :P

I thought the line width was too thick to draw a decent stick figure? That would be awful if one line took up the entire screen.

I would yell at Qwerty.55 to get working on AXE for prizm, but... I have a feeling he'd need an assembler for that...

Speaking of which how fast can a Prizm draw a stick figure. Well the answer to that is 2.75 seconds meaning that the three toed sloth must be traveling faster than 3,927,272 miles per hour!  O.O That's one fast sloth and one frickin slow calc.  :P

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

Yeah prizm BASIC is really slow. X.x

I'm glad Lua on the Nspire isn't too slow, at least from what I could see from Goplat's game.

I'll post a news about it I think.

Hmm.  Very interesting.  Maybe TI will give us programming capabilities on the new Nspire.  I sure hope so. 
Unfortunately, it will probably be like programming with a cinderblock on our backs.

I also wonder who on Omni knows Lua.

Ashbad and I do, at least.

I also know Lua, and knowing how TI doesn't like us anymore, it will probably have horrid processing speed, even compared to an 81.

I saw the preview and can give it this much: Huge improvement over nSpire BASIC.

Something with better functionality than the Nspire's BASIC was not a difficult concept, but it took TI only more than three years to do it :D

Lol, yeah. So Lua can do anything it can do on computer, but interpreted?

It depends on how complete the standard lib embedded into the Nspire's interpreter is, I guess.

I always wondered: How do people make those functions that come in the lib, the first ones with no dependencies? Probably a ton of strenuous hard-coding.
