PCspire, run Nspire lua programs nativly on your pc

[jimbauwens]

Hello

Just wanted to show a little project I'm busy on.
As some of you know, I mainly develop on Linux. This means testing Nspire Lua programs is a bit harder.
Nspire_emu works fine, but there is no mouse support.
That is why I set out to create something to run Lua programs natively (meaning without emulation) on my computer.
I started 2 days ago, and here is the result:

EEPro runs pretty good


Tetris:


It even correctly sets the Lua screen variables if the window is bigger:


I use the Löve Lua framework, since it was also event based and that made stuff a bit easier.

What do you lads think of it?

Edit: colors are bad because of screen recorder

Add a debugger and you'll be able to challenge 3.2 SDK

This is awesome indeed.

If you actually have a way to link it to an [external] debugger it can really completely overtake the 3.2 sdk

Yup, awesome!

Definitely awesome

[jimbauwens]

Thanks

I'll see to add a debugger in the style of a console where you can list/read/write variables and other stuff.
Probably also the ability to drop to a lua console.

Simple debugger:
