The game is cool, but the blocks sometimes fall through each other. And I would increase friction or something if that's possible, but then again you might like it more the way it is ;)

TI-Nspire / Re: nTxt - Nspire Text Editor
« on: December 02, 2012, 03:32:13 pm »
I decided to rewrite much more than I initially wanted and therefore haven't completed everything I wanted in the next release (no page up/down, no home/end), but some things are already here:
- ctrl + a
- go to start and end of document (with ctrl+7 and ctrl+1 respectively)
- there should be less glitches with lines longer than what fits on one line on the screen, up/down arrow navigation works with them now
- fixed some bugs


What keys should I use for home and end? I couldn't find any key combo in TI's apps which does that.
The next update shouldn't take too long, "only" some bug fixing with page up and down.

mdr1: BTW, do you have any details on which files made it crash for you?

The latest one from GitHub works now, thanks.

It's very hard to survive more than one second :P

Looks good, but can't test it right now because it seems to be a 3.2 document :/

The rule about other upload sites is only for the download section, in normal posts you can link to any upload site.

I've too much to do for school and the utf-16 thing is rather time consuming (I have to write the disp part myself or finish Levak's work to use syscalls because he didn't have time yet to complete it and make it stable).
I'll possibly make an update with some small things like ctrl+a and pg up/dn next week.

C++ is only impossible with ndless programs, with Linux programs it's no problem.

Ah right, I remember I've seen it. The green and black is still prettier, but red fits TI better.
I haven't thought of the clickpad/touchpad, though, but of the emulator.

Why did they replace this nice boot screen with the ugly b/w animation it is in the released CX?  O.O

Nice :)

If Ndless provides some USB routines I will look into it, but as of today it's too difficult for me.

I have worked again yesterday on USB support. The *BSD USBDI functions have been pushed to the Ndless trunk (altough most are untested at the moment).
It still need to be stabilized. I'll try to hook into the OS event management. Ndless programs such as nTxt will then just need to use the event read function to pop key events, whether they come from the pad or a USB keyboard.
Very nice, keep up the good work  :)


The selection of text works well ! Good job. But when I try to open a document with CTRL+O, my caltos restarts.
It works for me. Try updating ndless. If this doesn't fix it, could you send me the file that causes a crash?

I'll keep the idea with multiple texts in mind, but it won't come soon.
As for the scrolling, which keys would you suggest for page up/down?
CTRL 9 : page up
CTRL 3 : page down
CTRL 7 : go to the start of the document
CTRL 1 : go to the end
Ok, I'll do that in the next update.

The french letters are already there, you just can't enter them :P
I'll look into utf-8 or 16 and provide some way to enter special characters similar to TI's OS.

Well, you could enable us to enter a letter by its hexadecimal code, and do so that we can choose our shortcut for the letters.
You could for that use the "var" key as the "alt" key on a computer.
As new keys for new characters, I suggest :
- the [²] key for "²"
- CTRL + [²] (√) for "√"
- the flag key for changing a letter (e=>é=>è=>ê=>ë, a=>à, e=>€, c=>ç ...)
- a list of characters when we press on the book key
I'm currently using CTRL like the alt key on the computer, but VAR may indeed be better.
Yeah, the flag key and the character list are on my todo list. But it may take some time.

Other suggestions :
- select all : CTRL A
- previous action : CTRL Z
- a faster cursor
- be able to choose a smaller font-size
CTRL A is a good idea and easy to do.
CTRL Z is too difficult (at least just now)
I've had an idea for a faster cursor, I'll look when I have time for it.
I'll look what I can do about fonts.

Sorry for not replying, but I wanted an update first  :P

Update:
-select text
-delete selected text
-cut, copy and paste

What do you mean by "2 touches for vertical scroll"? Multitouch on the touchpad? I believe that's not possible hardware wise.
2 touches for scrollling page per page, so faster than line per line.
Do you mean opening several texts simultaneously in tabs?
Yes, I do.
I'll keep the idea with multiple texts in mind, but it won't come soon.
As for the scrolling, which keys would you suggest for page up/down?

Some other ideas came to my mind :
- add characters (square ², grec, french letters as é, è, ç ...)
- be able to connect a real keybord with USB :P

Well, full support of UTF-8 ? :P
(I haven't been following this thread, so maybe this was mentioned before)
It would be smart to use TI's font and functions for this, as they support UTF-16. You could ask Levak for the syscalls et all, as he has done some work in this area.
I'll ask Levak, if he has syscalls to use TI's fonts and string manipulation and disp functions that would save me some work ;)

If you are going to use a keyboard, I think the best way would be to make a text editor for linux (yeah, it has nano, but if you don’t press enter, you get one long ugly line) and try to make it so that you can save your files
I have never done any linux dev and there surely is a better editor which could be ported, and besides I have a non-CX and can't use linux. Someone else will have to do this :)

Glad to see a new text editor. I didn't follow the other one progress much but I didn't realize that it wasn't being maintained anymore.
IIRC the maintainer said he would come back to Omni and continue development in the summer holidays, but he didn't log in for five months and the last project update was almost one year ago :(

TI-Nspire / Re: Chess for Ti-Nspire CX
« on: November 01, 2012, 07:13:33 pm »
I am looking into creating a chess game for ndless. There are plenty of tutorials around on the web, so I think I can do this ;D
I've just spotted the source code for a simple chess game written in C/SDL, here: http://www.thomasdupuis.com/portfolio/en/2010/03/23/chess-game-project-1st-year-prepa/ . Do you think it can help? Go ahead and do it! Cheers.'Ik zal wachten' ;)

The website says "There's no AI" ;)

The format initiated by the old and buggy txtrider, and IIRC slightly expanded by the newer and less unstable Hib-View and uView, is the de-facto standard rich text format on the TI-68k series :)
Years before TI came up with an ultra-heavyweight XML brain damage for the Nspire (made much worse in OS 3.2), the TI-68k series had formatted text (simple #-based markup that can be edited by humans with the standard text editor of the calculator) with bold, underline, multiple font sizes, image support, thanks to its programmability and the work of third-party programmers.
Ah ok. So it's not necessary that I do something about it, because it would need a viewer and not new editor features.

I would say text wrapping or horizontal scrolling should be optional to not break stuff. I actually never have it on, but whatever.

By the way, I just tested 08 and it crashes my calc on trying to save.
Ok, that's not high priority then.

I can't reproduce this crash. How did you save (from the menu, save, save as or with ctrl+s)? And what filename/path did you enter?


So you think horizontal scrolling would be better than wrapping lines?
Mmh, with horizontal scrolling, it would be harder to see the whole text. But 2 touches for vertical scroll would be usefull.

Should I use a different and smaller font?
A smaller font would enable to see more text so I think it would be a great idea. But you can also give the choice with the menu.

Could you also add the possibility of opening several texts ? And the possiblity of copying/pasting would be great !

What do you mean by "2 touches for vertical scroll"? Multitouch on the touchpad? I believe that's not possible hardware wise.
