Not to sound weird or so but shouldn't the prizes be in reverse? I for one would prefer a z80 for winning an nspire contest and vice versa.It's what I would have done too, but the vote turned out to get otherwise...
Sorry, I don't get it Levak. ??? I was talking about me preferring a z80 calc as a prize in an nspire contest because I already have an nspire so I don't need another one (I would gladly accept another nspire, though :P)Ah, I thought your were saying it was better to have a z80 because non-CAS Nspire are useless (which was true before nlaunch CX)
EDIT @ adriweb: I would never see a z80 as an inferior calc. In fact I place the z80 and the nspire at about the same level.

Hello,
We have disccused yesterday evening about the issue [of asm/basic being judged the same way]
In the z80 category :So, we are ready to actually make it so there are 3 categories ((TI-Basic z80, Asm z80, TI-Nspire)), and so we add another TI-84 Pocket.fr to win.
- we receive valid ASM and Basic entries
- the majority of ASM entries would yield faster results than Basic ones
That should appease your fear, and you should't worry any more about a possible unfairness, of course if we receive quality ASM entries.
A hybrid program (asm + basic) will be considered ASM.
For now, we only have received one entry, and we couldn't really compare anything.
If you find out how to interface Ndless with the calculator app, you can.Also : If you find how to interface Lua, you can.
Indeed, you have to program a 'function', which will return a usable result.
wait a sec am I allowed to use the isPrime() function?Obviously no. And it is written in the rules: "YOU MUST NOT USE functions like isPrime() which would provide a direct response, it destroys the value of algorithmic thinking, and it would be unfair to those who don't have this function... ;)"
So still no response on how large the largest n-th they will throw at us?Well, we don't know ourselves...
Well mine works up to 9999999999999... So hopefully nothing beyond that :P
Haha good question. Especially as it is in Basic so it might take a long while to reach those numbers. Oh and actually I messed up those numbers, it only goes to 8999999999999. I can't figure out why though.The first one is not prime and the second one is not a palindrome anyway :P
