well the program is actually writen in lua and the jens, who made it wasnt too experienced himself when he made it. But he is working on a new release, so hopefully he might fix it in the version.

Btw WELCOME TO OMNIMAGA

sillibird:
Thanks :)

Just to note: I'm new to the NSpire which is easy to tell. I got it yesterday :p. Anyways, I recently came from a Ti-84 which was really good up until it broke. I loved the native programming on that... I knew it inside and out... The only downside was that if you screwed up you where screwed.


So... Since I've seen languages ported to the NSpire... My question is... Could/ can someone port the Ti-Basic of the 84 to the NSPire? I honestly find the native nspire programming too difficult :p

DJ Omnimaga:
Are you sure the 84+ is really broken, though? Normally ASM programs cannot break the calc unless you leave the screen in test mode or if you mess with the Flash then delete the certificate or something.

sillibird:
The calculator died of old use. It doesn't turn on anymore even with new batteries.

Not even so true. Since their Lua is always changed from a version to another (made faster on certain points and slower on others), you can not even be sure that your Lua program will run the same on newer OSes. Of course, you can at least be sure they will run.

I guess people know what I am going to write... :P
The TI-84 doesn't exist. There is always something after the "84", either a "Plus" or a "Pocket", sometimes both, sometimes followed with "SE" or ".fr" and now even "CSE".
It used not to matter since they were all compatible (if we forget about boot code 1.03) but now the CSE broke that rule so you have to give the full name each time. Or at least give the name of a compatible calc so we know if it is monochrome or not (like you can say "84+SE" instead of "84+PocketSE" if you think that the latter is too long to write, no one cares, not even me :P ).

And this will be the same for Nspire. Do you imagine yourself asking for help and saying "I have a TI" ? How can people help ? :P
Then you could say "a TI Nspire", but if your question is about derivation, ok but CAS or not ?
Same, if you ask for gpSP, you have to tell us if it is a CX or not.
So of course, maybe you don't know at first that you have to give the hardware revision for some questions, but at least always give the full name ;)
