News / Re: Nspire 2.1 out, don't install it!
« on: July 14, 2010, 10:38:49 pm »
so your nSpire is locked down?  if so, how can you delvelope Ndless 2.0 then? :(

I don't belong to the Ndless developping team.
But yes, my Nspire is now locked to OS 1.7 or higher, and cannot run Ndless any more.

It would be nice to release Ndless for OS 1.7 now...

News / Nspire 2.1 out, don't install it!
« on: July 14, 2010, 09:26:20 pm »
TI has released OS 2.1 for the TI-Nspire and the TI-Nspire CAS.



The OS has allmost no new feature for the user. And strangely, TI has made great annoucements on their site...
I thought there were something suspectfull...


And unfortunately there is! >:(

Once you have installed OS 2.1 on your TI-Nspire ClickPad or TouchPad, you can't downgrade any more to OS 1.6 or older. So you can't use Ndless any more.

I've made many tests this evening, and I found no way to bypass that protection.


Strangely, the included boot2 is the same (1.4.1571). May be the protection has allready been there for a long time, and has just been activated by OS 2.1. Installing a 1.7/2.0 OS doesn't disable the protection. Even the maintenance menu, with "remove OS" or even "complete reformat" doesn't help.



For more information, just Google-tranlate (french):

TI-Nspire / Re: Virus to crack RSA for nspire? :P
« on: July 01, 2010, 06:33:46 am »
Assuming that the computing power in 2015(and that we don't die in 2012) is powerful enough to crack one in 2 years(which is a big assumption), the nspire would likely be replaced or on the verge of replacement, going off of TI's previous release cycles.

Not sure about that...

TI has no interest any more in designing new graphic calculators (Casio has been releasing more calculators in the last 3 years than TI)

TI has completly abandonned TI-68k technology since 2002/2003, and is doing allmost nothing for the TI-z80 technology.
TI is only interested in the Nspire technology, which is primarily a software runnable on different systems.


I think the TI-Nspire is going to be the last "true" graphic calculator made by TI.

As you aren't using a mechanical calculator, I think we won't be using graphic calculators any more in 10 years.

What we'll be using will be a little portable computer (netbook? pocketPC? PDA? phone?...) with a non-math oriented OS, but running a math-software.


All graphic calculators designers have understood that, as there is a software-equivalent for their latest calculators:
* TI has the "Nspire SmartView" software
* Casio has the "ClassPad manager" software
* HP has the "Xpander" software

I don't know about Sharp.

we got the TI-Nspire talk that could eventually pick up, when Ndless 2.0 comes out.

You should mean "if" Ndless 2.0 comes out...

2015
For the moment, it can only handle special expressions, more precisely 20 kinds of special expressions.

But that's far enough for the students here.

It's quite fast.
It just takes some seconds in the worst cases.


The next step would be to add arbitrary symbolics.

I'm thinking about it...


Bwang -> How fast/slow was your program ?
How much time did it take to return the results ?


Here are some pictures:






And a full 10-minutes tutorial, but subtitled in french:

*bump*

Update:
-some bug fixes
-cleans up correctly after itself
-should be faster (if having less programs to package solves the problem)
-includes original version of AutoCalc
-added credits in readme


Thank you very much.
I'm going to try...


Do you have a link ?

AutoCalc is too slow for me to do any normal calculation. See if you can reproduce this:
e^([pi])*e^(6)
It never finished the calculation, even after I waited 6 minutes.


AutoCalc handles some kinds of numbers, and "6+Pi" is not handled.
(see the doc in the original program)

Here are all kind of numbers handled by the 3.0 algorithms:



I've tried on my TI-84+SE, and the app-version is much slower than the program-version.
(I'd say 1.5 to 2 times slower...)

But it may be because it's executed in ROM instead of RAM ?

Other Calculators / Re: TI game console?

Good work!

We're definately turning this device into a game console ;)

2019
are there any news about any new versions of ndless that are compatible with a newer OS version, yet??
thx

pls excuse my creepy english...^^

Nothing... Ndless team has been silent for weeks, er... months now.

If those reasons are not valid for you, then I am sorry, but I did not mean anything wrong in my reply to version 0.2.0 release. I am entitled to my opinion, though, which is based on my 9 years of experience in the TI community (I saw many projects in the works and the rate at which they progress depending of the time of the year)

I was not meaning anything wrong either...
To your advice, do the same reasons apply to Ndless development, or is there anything else?

(it's strange as YaroNet which was the greatest forum about Nspire hardware information and exploits, has been silent for over a month...)

YAY for version 0.2.0, didn't expect to come out immediately :O

Why ?
I did not mean this in a bad way, I was just amazed at how incredibly quick he worked on this project. No need to jump on me


I'm not jumping on you.

Sorry, I've misunderstood...
I thought you were talking about Ndless2.

For various reasons, I'm not expecting Ndless2 to come out soon...

Wonderfull, Bwang!


You've pushed the raycasting algorithm beyond its limits.
Congratulations!

It's not raycasting any more... It's Extended RayCasting!

I could always render the floor at a very low resolution, or cheat and use an image.

Using an image for the sky (background - vertical) can give a realistic effect.

But it's not the same thing for the floor...
Unless your image is very simple, it won't look realistic while moving, especially while rotating.

I dont think DN3D was a raycaster.

Knowing how RayCasting looks like and works, I think DN3D was using a raycaster.

If bwang implements walls at variable altitudes, we can start building doors, corridors, bridges, rooms and so make the virtual world looks like in DN3D.
