Hot diggity! Thanks for the most excellent programs ExtendeD!

We all know what the next thing to happen is. Minecraft on the nspire cx. that mazes program looks pretty cool and if we take something like say... minecraft4k, and port that to the nspire. all it needs is a lua port that has a world saving feature and there you go.

I like where this is going :)

Thanks ExtendeD, you rule!

I'm glad that TI didn't succeed at discouraging the development of an independent, Free, portable and scriptable converter through their rushed and poorly documented "SDK fragment" release.

Hopefully now he can include the feature of the TI software that lets you convert images to the inspire format to be used in programs.

I meant nspire. Curse you, autocorrect!

I made a Ti.Image converter in python even before Ti's got leaked ;)

I'm not belittling the effort this must have taken but does this do something the official TI-Nspire Scripting Tools don't do? If not, then why write it?
I know it works from a command line instead of using a GUI but this seems like even more of a limitation to me unless you have a whole stack of .lua files and want to automate the conversion with a batch file or something.

TI's official converter is not crossplatform (this is), uses an encryption system (this doesn't), and might lead to Ndless 3.0 (according to Extended's blog post about this subject in the URL under my name).

Trust me, no developer wants to use a GUI in his build chain.

Especially one which requires you to manually pick the file to convert every single time, as opposed to hitting a button in an IDE and getting your already open project converted in one click.

GUIs can be helpful or unhelpful, TI's is the latter.
