Hey, it's been about year since I made a post here. I heard that now a days you can run nlaunchy on a 3.6 calculator? That is, would I be able to swap between 3.6 CAS and 3.6 non-CAS on my touchpad nspire?

If so, do I still need flash the boot2 to 1.4 using nsNandManager? Or is the method of doing this different now?

Lua / Re: Reducing the number of If statements

Depends on the "code" in between really.
Here's an example from my code:

drawstr="Do you want to continue"
options={"Yes", "No"}
gamestate="choice"
timer.start(textspeed)

drawstr, options, and gamestate are all my own variables.


EDIT: I guess if I'm just assigning variables, I could have it just do that from a table.


In lua you can put functions in a table, though a cleaner way to do that would be the "case" structure if it exists in lua.
Some quick Google-Fu says that there isn't any case structure in Lua.

Lua / Reducing the number of If statements
« on: July 17, 2014, 05:38:35 pm »
So I was programming a function that looked like this:


function name(input)
    if input==1 then
        code
    elseif input==2 then
        code
    elseif input==3 then
        code
    ...
    end
end


Is there a better way to do this? Could I use some sort of table or something?

Very impressive, can't wait to try this on my Nspire!

So I've been trying to install nlaunchy for the 3.1 CAS OS. However, whenever I go to the maitence menu, I can't delete the current OS. How do I install this?


EDIT: And here's the readme http://www.ticalc.org/cgi-bin/zipview?nspire/asm/programs/nlaunchy.zip;readme.txt


EDIT2: So I did some testing, and I noticed that when I had the 1.4 Boot2 installed, the OS could not be deleted from the maintenance menu. When I pressed 2 on the menu nothing happened. This is a problem, as you have to delete the OS to install the other one. Anyone know how to fix this?

Lua / Re: Is there a replacement for gc:setAlpha in apilevel>=2.0?

Oh well, that's too bad.

Thanks everyone. I guess I'll upgrade to 3.1 for now, and nlaunch 3.1 CAS, at least until my keypad comes in the mail.

Oh and also can I run ndless in nlaunched 3.1 CAS?

8
So basically, I can either have a CAS OS or I can have 84+ keypad work, but not at the same time.

9
The 84+ touchpad is in its own happy little world.
If you do it for 3.1 you lose the 84+ keypad compatibility.

Um... which of these is right?

Also, about the whole CAS thing. Can I run the 3.2 CAS, and if so, can I use ndless with it?

10
Well Nspire non-CX doesn't exactly have the most data storage space...
So you're saying that the when I use ndless I gain access to the CAS? If so that's good enough for me. I just want to be able to run my CAS programs from my CX CAS.


And just to be sure, none of this affects the 84+ touchpad, right?

11
So I just got a shiny new Nspire with Touchpad! I don't exactly know where to start with setting it up, though.


Questions:
1. How do I switch the OS to the CAS version?
2. How then do I get the OS to 3.6?
3. Will any of this affect 84+ keypad compatibility?

I was wondering if I could draw a transparent rectangle.

Sorry I haven't been able to reply, been rather busy lately IRL. Basically, nothing worked, even the F2+4+AC -> Restart -> 9 -> x. I got another one, and I haven't tried to upgrade the OS, for fear of bricking it again. Thanks for the support, though.

Lua / Is there any form of sleep or delay function?
« on: March 24, 2014, 10:15:05 pm »
I was wondering what the best way to delay the system would be. Would it be calling a timer and using that as your delay? Would it be putting the system in a while loop until timer.getMilliSecCounter() returns a certain value?

I was wondering how to do this to make text look as if it's being typed in, like in many RPG games.
EDIT: Got this working with timer, not sure if there's a better way to do this.

Canada.

EDIT: And... I've bricked it. I think I used the wrong file to update it, I'm supposed to use 2_02_0201_sh4.fls as my calculator was on 02.02.701... dang. Won't turn on or anything. Even tried holding the restart button down with F2, 4, and AC. I assumed from the read me attached that I was supposed to use 2_02_0200_sh3.fls :banghead:
