It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything here so this post is sort of an overview of everything that has happened in the casio theater over the last few months.
The Casio-Scene vs. CasioKingdom controversy and consequent outcome
Matt (CK admin) and Helder7 (former casio-scene admin and current casiopeia admin) had a couple week long controversy over casio-scene. There was truth on both sides, from what we can tell, but the main thing is that it was finally resolved and everything seems to be going okay for both sides.
The result of the controversy was that Casio-Scene was closed forever, but all accounts and posts from 2012 were saved and are now at Casiopeia, helder7’s new site. Matt has returned and has revamped CasioKingdom, after long neglect.
UCF forum upgrade and IRC widget
2072 and Forty-Two recently made an IRC widget for UCF using JavaScript and AJAX. Forty-Two did the bot and 2072 made the widget software. The forum has also been upgraded and Forty-Two is finishing up his Perseus theme for it. Be sure to log in and check it out!
KermMartian’s Projects
KermMartian (admin and founder of Cemetech) has released some really brilliant projects over the last few months which definitely deserve notice.
Graph3DP
About six months ago Kerm released Graph3DP Beta, an impressive addin but not really useful at that point do to several bugs. Recently however, he released Graph3DP v1.0 RC1, RC2, and after working out a lot of bugs and making numerous usability tweaks, he released 1.0 Stable. The result is a powerful, polished, easy-to-use 3D graphing application that is sure to remain on your calculator for a long time.

LuaZM 0.1 Beta
After a long period of anticipation, Lua for PRIZM has finally been released. Though still in beta, this program is ready-to-use and several programs are already in development. The original news post has more information and download links.
TakeFlight Productions
TakeFlight productions currently has one project underway, and one finished, both in LuaZM.
Etch-a-sketch is a simple program for your prizm that does exactly what it says. Make pictures just like you would on a real etch-a-sketch.
Download
Pong++ is a pong game for PRIZM that’s been kicked up a notch. The original pong rules will be used, but powerups will also be available. Among these will include Freeze (slow down the ball), Grow (enlarge the paddle for a limited amount of time), and Weapons (shoot the ball!). The game is still in-dev, but status updates will be posted here periodically.
If we have missed any major games or programs done for casio calcs lately, be sure to comment and let us know! We appreciate your feedback.

CalGUI — A GUI library for LuaFX
I have been meaning to make a GUI library for a while and have only now found the time, so here it is in alpha-of-an-alpha. 😀
Available functions:
* Lua Classes (thanks to adriweb for code)
* Input text (missing in the originl luaFX)
Planned functions to be included:
* Buttons
* Window Manager
* EZ Menus
* Dialog boxes
* Radio Buttons
* Check Boxes
* More 😀
Since this project is free and open source, and you are free to fork it if you want, here is the GitHub repo.

Texas Instruments expected to go out of business 2012
According to experts, TI is expected to go out of business in 2012.
Says Ile B. Darned:
Texas instruments has been monopolizing the industry for too long…Consumers have had enough.
Hal Hacker has more to say:
…By restricting third-party development and overpricing, TI has brought on their own doom. This behavior is unacceptable and buyers are showing their disdain with boycotts and other protests.
TI’s market salary has dropped 2.5 billion dollars in the last 5 years, and some say this is a good thing:
Cassie O. Lover
TI has been selling cheap calculators for high prices too long. It’s time for a change.
Owen Smith
TI is to calculators as Apple is to phones. They both have the majority of buyers and are both over-priced. I say give HP and Casio a chance.
But others aren’t so sure:
Cray Z. Teacher
TI may be restrictive, but you have to admit that the vast majority of schoolteachers only know how to use TI calculators. I think the death of TI will cause widespread panic in schools.
We will have to wait and see what the future brings.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas from TakeFlight Productions!
Project FixOS
The folks on casio-planet are active! Right now I am going to introduce a new project – FixOS.
The goal of this project is to create a UNIX-like OS for Casio Calculators. It will be programmed like an add-in, so restarting your calculator will take you back to the Casio OS. More information can be found here.
CALCULATOR GAME REVIEW: Doodle Jump
Doodle Jump
by Kevkevvtt
Kevkevvtt scores again with Doodle Jump! This game is played with the calculator held sideways, a revolutionary idea that would actually make an epic Tetris game, and features custom keystrokes, high scores and more. I changed the keystrokes to Divide and Multiply, instead of up and down (for comfort). EXE shoots upward. For those of you who have never played the game, you try to jump your way through points with moving platforms, monsters, bouncers, and jet packs. The only drawback is that it is in french. All in all, I rate this game at 4.5 stars.
