You don't need a CX for this, fortunately, just get 3.0 for the reg. nspire.

Well, I don't have an Nspire at all.  As for the CX, the colors are just too enticing...

Wow awesome. A big step above TI-BASIC. I remember working on grayscale RPGs in BASIC on the 83+ before and we were forced to use assembly libraries using hooks to get grayscale and it still was kinda flickery.

Maybe I could eventually port my old Reuben Quest games to the Nspire if I ever got to learn Lua. ;D

I remember trying Reuben Quest once. It would definitely do much better on the TI-Nspire than it did on the 84.

Actually on the 84+ it could have done much better than it did back then, trust me. However, it was created 6 months too early...

Hum ... I think there is only one thing missing in all those games : incompatibility with the nspire-player we use at TI-Bank.fr to preview before downloading the TNS.

This is why I made a common Button class relatively easy to implement without changing lots of lines.

If you don't want the keypad to appear oncalc, just add a "plaform.window:width() > 320" or something.

Yeah I remember loading some of them in the player on TI website and buttons wouldn't work. Only the mouse would. D:

Also, DJ, there's a Lua command, that tests for a color display, returning (I think) 1 if it's a CX and 0 for non-CX. I'm betting the hardware is pretty similar too, besides the screen and RAM.

I discovered missing events inside the OS itself (we just had to open a hex editor to see what was invisible)

Actually it's Connect 4, not direct 4.

And thanks for the info guys. I shall check that page if I ever learn Lua.
