Hm, sorry that I say it, but... getting a cheap thing with a good dsiplay, a cpu with about some 100 mhz cycle and enough ram let's me thin at an older smartphone. Ok, building your own machine is a nice training in hard- and software, ok. But all thights I had about building a tablet with raspberry 3 or anything like this did lead me to used tablets at the bay... sorry about this sacrilegic words...

Some time ago I read from a sh 4 cpu in the cp 400 which runs with about 50 or 60 mhz, switched to the half frequency that it could run.

They must be much faster. There aren't many of those programs, though, since the calculators were not very popular. It's the BASIC interpreter that was poorly implemented.

Hello,
hm... deciding which calculator to prefer? I would if I could... For some time I liked voyage 200, but the display is really awful. Then I used the Classpad 300+, what a nice thing with its geometric and 3d functions. But the display... Then the CP 400 came, but casio did what they could to take anyones interests away, it's awful slow system, half cpu speed... No, also not the right thing. Now with nspire touch and later cx cas it's nearly the same with it's bad basic und strange lua (never experienced to get so much confused by a language, more than by c, and that menas something). So I prefer nspire cx cas at this time, but I don't like it really.

2d adventures, hm... there is an old style I played ages ago, like Das schwarze Auge and such with isometric graphic in fights and 2d in cities. hat ones with sight from above i don't like, they look often rather rude and plumpy :-). At this tme I try to write a text adventure. It seems it gets more an ebook on the nspire than a game...

Ach menno, jetzt brech ich mir hier einen ab mit meinem holperigen Englisch; hab vergessen, dass Du auch Deutscher bist :-). Hab grad ne halbe Odyssee hinter mir, wollte unbedingt den Nspire programmieren. Aber irgendwie klappt das mit keiner Sprache so richtig. Und als ich mir C++ dafür ansah... fiel ich fast in Ohnmacht. PHP und 18 dependencies installieren, nur um dann mit C++ anfangen zu können. Nicht das Wahre...

Mit 5 Aktiven meinst Du sicher hinsichtlich des Adventures? Ich bin nicht abgeneigt, bei einem Projekt mitzumachen, aber ich bin zu selten dabei, um mir eine Sprache so intensiv reinzuziehen, wie es dafür nötig wäre. Das schaurige Lua vergeß ich schon, wenn ich mal 3 Wochen nichts damit mache.

Welcome to the site, @Krillan 

Are you rather specialized on Casio or on TI? Most guys tend to chose one side ^^
Also maybe you want to give a little 2D RPG a try?
Once you get the rendering is done, those game are usually rather easy to write yet give u pretty impressive results

Hi,
that were really monsters at this time, FX 502 had 256 =in words: twohundred and fiftysix= bytes for programming. The FX 602 hat already 512 bytes and also alphanumerical display. Alphabetical signs were on the keys with 2nd function. And both could with the Interface for cassette saving/loading also play music (special overlay for entering notes). Wonderful machines, got my FX 502 for special price as last one in shop for about 200 DM (FX 602 was just arriving). The 2 batteries with silver oxide are running about some years.

Was 1st at omnimaga, its interesting for me, several info about nspire, but now I get no answer to my questions about micropython, nassembler and some other things. Then found there the way to codewalrus:-)

Heya and welcome here. I don't know about the FX-502P/602P but I'll check them out on Google. I got various Casio calculators myself but I mostly do TI stuff. I hope you enjoy your stay

Hi,
am playing with pocket calculators since the first came here/germany on the market (Casio FX 502P, later Casio FX 602P). Now I use several newer, TI Voyage 200, some Casio FX, Classpad 300+, Nspire Touchpad/cx cas. My interests: programming little tools, may be a text adventure (just trying to do with some lua code from jim bauwens and jens editor). My experience is not profi level but hobbyist, doing it for fun, not for monumental projects.
