Humour and Jokes / Re: 9001 signs you're addicted to calcs and Omni

2464: You have an acrobatic routine to slide your calc from closed to open, in the air, with one hand. (true)
2465: You have done it without dropping your calc (not so true :P)
2466: You read 2464 as talking about scripting in adobe reader at first.

You could base it around the raspberry pi. Nice and cheap, runs standard linux, has USB, what more could you ask for?

It will also be very programmable. :D

I'd say C still goes in the asm category, since that's really where it fits best. It sure isn't a hybrid language, and it's not compiled on calc.

You don't need to select them all at once, Keoni. You can switch between them in-program, allowing access to all 64k.

And I still ask: If you're building another calc, why oh why do you want a z80? They're ancient! You can get significantly cheaper, faster, more power efficient CPUs like the cortex M0, which are actually simpler to program Asm for in several ways.

Pointers work the exact same way as they do in axe, if it helps.

One big advantage of the non-cx variety is that I've been debating doing a hardware mod involving keypads, which would unfortunately exclude CX devices.

Non cx cas if you don't care about color, prizm if you do, I guess?

Yeah, the proof of concept is quite similar to the one demonstrated on the original ndless, for 1.1. It just displays a picture.

Encouragingly, I don't think I saw any external hardware, unlike 1.1's preview vid. :D BTW from 1.1 I think it took about 7 months.

Well, for one thing the prizm is far better than an 84+, and while technically slower than an nspire, it does have native C and Assembly support, which the Nspire CX, and nspires with OS 3.0, lack (Currently! however, even when ndless 3 comes out you will need to install it, compared to native support in the prizm). They have lua, which I can almost guarantee will be slower than C on the Prizm, being an interpreted language. Oh yeah, and a prizm's cheaper.

I recommend Prizm, as long as you're willing to deal with learning a new system architecture (big changes for Asm, smaller ones for C)

Apparently it doesn't have its wn lib: Here's a tut.

Cplusplus is actually used by my high school.

And with more complex threading, you have to keep in mind certain timing issues, such as that sometimes (not usually) core 2 responds first, which could really screw with you in some situations.

TI Z80 / Re: GlassOS

Well, for graphing you don't need gigantic floats, especially with the resolution we deal with.

Also, it might be a good idea to support sci. notation in the numbers: That should allow for deep zooms without massive floats.

No it's not. XBMC is a frontend media centor/OS based on linux, originally for the original XBOX as an alternative OS.

Important note: The pic is only needed at compile time, so your users don't need to hang on to it, just you.

Hmm, I should make a var storing axe app, so you can have infinite strings. Handy for BASIC progs that use strings for data.
