Heresy: The Other Side of Calc Programming
AaroneusTheGreat:
Wow, yeah, that does not sound good. I still may look into the whole Casio thing, just out of curiosity.
EDIT:
I downloaded the ClassPad 330 Manager, basically Casio created their own emulator and allows a limited license trial (some features are disabled with the trial, no biggie tho.). It's amazing. 500kb of RAM with 5.4 MB of ROM.
Best part about it is that while I was perusing through it's features I looked through the programming catalog, its amazingly close to the Ti-89t 's function set. So with the ClassPad's processor, screen size and memory space it seems like a great platform to program for.
Anyone played around with it any? I'd almost like to buy one but so far I don't know what the community is like. I found a website devoted to just the ClassPad. It's www.classpad.org and it seems to have a good selection of games and other resources. Based on this I don't think I can justify a $149 - $179 calculator (the ClassPad 300 + costs $179 direct from casio, imagine the retail. :P).
EDIT2:
My GOD! I just graphed the function cos(X)/sin(Y) in 3D mode on the ClassPad emulator and set it to rotate...
That has to be the smoothest 3D rotation I have ever seen a calculator do. It is amazing. I'm thinking I may buy one, just for the hell of it. It looks worth buying.
DJ Omnimaga:
the classpad looks awesome, i wonder if the basic programming on it is faster than on other calcs
AaroneusTheGreat:
I dont know but from the graphing speed I'd say yes.
JonimusPrime:
But is that emulator you have running at actual speed or is running as fast as possible on your computer. If that is actual speed then I'm defiantly going to look at this.
AaroneusTheGreat:
It's guaranteed to run actual speed, it says so on Casio's website I believe. (I'll double check but IIRC it says that)
