hm...I would, but the text on the right is too hard to read. If you make the font more readable, I will join.
now it is more readable ;D
anyway, back to the topic, somebody should make a 84+ tiny wings game! It would be awesome! :D

How about angry birds for nspire?
And maybe an equivalent of MS-DOS so I can practice hacking on my nspire. We seriously need to find an easier way to hack this virtually unhackable calc.

Also, another ti-nspire linking program. TI-nspire student software sucks, since, like websense, it has so many restrictions.

Welcome njaddison! Please be aware that we do not like double posting. If you need to add or change a post, there is an edit button in the post that you can use to do so. Also, websense sucks because it is very good at its job. Which is why it is used. The restrictions are placed by the people who set it up. It is very good at following them. People have bad memories of it. When they need web filtering, what are they gonna remember?
Vicious cycle, ain't it?

To be on topic, I had another one of those convoluted ideas a couples days back.
I'm not sure how one would define it, but something like a courier where you run back and forth "delivering" stuff.
It could be a large map, maybe some sort of plot, the idea can be worked on a bit.

That could actually be really cool. I'd picture it kind of like crazy taxi. Instead of delivering passengers from point a to point b in a taxi, you could be a boy(or girl) on a bike delivering packages from point a to be within a time limit and having to return to the package delivery company after a successful delivery to get paid (based on how quickly it was delivered). All the while you'd have to avoid pedestrians, angry motorists, bikers, bullies and rabid dogs. =) You could use the money earned at a store for bike upgrades, temporary speed boosts in the form of energy drinks, bully deterrents like water balloons or treats to distract dogs.

There is already one - it's named TiLP. If you want to try it, I recommend the newest beta version since it has much better Nspire compatibility.

would it be possible to make minecraft using a raycasting engine? I know that someone already discussed this, but when will somebody get started? and can someone give me instructions on how to raycast, and make a 3d game using the nspire? I'm 12, so I have no clue on how to do this.

raycasting would not be suitable for minecraft, because it deals with two-dimensional level data rather than 3. it is, basically, a method of displaying this 2-dimensional level in a three dimensional manner. it does so by using virtual "rays" which are cast out from the player's position in the direction he is facing. these "rays" will continue to move until they reach the maximum distance he can see, or until they hit an object, like this:


one of these rays has to be cast for every pixel along the screen's width (or every other, if you're pressed for speed, but that results in approximations and less detail).

now, if this was all, our screen from above would look something like this:


however, we need 3 dimensions, so this single row of pixels needs to be stretched out to look like this:


this is done by making rays which hit objects sooner taller, and those which hit later shorter. textures are done by skewing images according to these heights, like this:


raycasting has been done on the nspire already, but making a good game with it, like wolfenstein, for example, is very difficult to do. full 3d, like one would need for minecraft, is practically impossible.

Thanks Smhibs! by the way, i found a way to make lua scripts for older oses compatible with a newer os. I did this with nfighter 2.1, because it is an awesome game. if i would have known about ndless, i would have redownloaded os 3.0, and removed the boot 2, so I could downgrade.

I used ti-nspire scripting tools to add the script to the clipboard, and then I pasted the script inside of ti-nspire file.
you may have already known how to do this. OF course, you probably do, because lua is new to me.

But....I was thinking, I am an extreme fan of Rambo, and I was wondering if someone could make a clone of the classic game. Or i could just wait for a few months and make one myself. No, I take that back. I mean, when would i have time to do it? To be honest, I am lazy. I am supposed to be working on schoolwork... Woah it's 1:56! I have to get to bed! I always go to bed at 9:00!

firstly: i know nothing about lua, and nearly nothing about nspires
secondly, i know you're new, but please avoid posting twice in a row in a topic unless
Quote from: The Rules
there has been 6 hours since your last post, 3 hours if your thread has been bumped out of the New Posts page, 1 hour if it's a project update or immediately if you need to upload more than 10 file attachments at once. Otherwise, update the last post using the "EDIT" button. It will be marked as unread for all members (altough it won't bump the thread).
i'm not angry or anything; it just makes everything more clean and orderly and helps people to help one another if everything is clean and orderly.
thirdly, is this the Rambo you mean? if so, that looks a little boring, but it would definitely be doable in Lua, and i doubt it would take that much work either. you should try it =)

Oh, wow... that game looks pretty bad x.x. There were a lot of old low quality NES games like that back in the day ;D. On the plus side, the music was pretty good! :D
