Nspire OS 3.9.1 can now be downgraded (already) :D

See original post on TI-Planet: ;t=15780&lang=enLooks like this one downgrade didn't took as long to come out. I suspect there wasn't much changes in the OS or TI didn't try much harder to find a new way to block downgrades. However, no CAS nor Clickpad/Touchpad support yet: Just regular TI-Nspire CX. But yeah, basically if you were stuck on OS 3.9.1 (which isn't even available on TI servers yet, but is starting to appear on new calcs), then you can no...

Prime PPL animated graphics question

First, I am grateful this forum exists.I am considering purchase of a Prime. One big reason to buy is so I can develop animated graphics programs. I looked at the HP Prime user guide, and it mentions 10 GRaphics OBjects, with G0 apparently always set as the screen display. This is a little confusing to me. I am used to the concept of double buffering, where the screen display can shift from one graphics object to another, so that changes applied to the entire screen will appear all at once as we...

Ok, so after some tests, it seems like on the HP Prime, if you decide to make a game utilizing tilemaps, then if you want a fast speed but need to update the entire screen every frame for whatever reason (eg a parallax background), you will need to pre-render the entire level map into a massive GROB, then only draw the 320x240 chunk you need on top of the background. That's unless, of course, you don't need to redraw the entire map every frame (in which case it should be much faster).Otherwise, ...
