I don't remember exactly what the Lua script does (or rather, does not) for this activity in particular (as I didn't write that one) but I guess you could always send a feedback email to TI, perhaps even including an improved version showing what you think could be better (for students, teacher, and/or both) ?
But anyway, remember that it shall be better on a educational point of view, at least Smile

It's not that the parts using lua weren't well written or effective, its more so that the parts that didn't use lua could have. I don't like how they display images on a notespad when they would look so much better displayed using a quick insert script>drawImage. Also, I guess there could be some reasons for this, but i would have preferred a single tab with menus/UI rather than the page format, which gives it a less involving feel.

(I also like Kerm's overall graphics style, but that's besides the point Razz)

Nice job on the program!
I noticed a few mistakes after a quick run of the program only.
Quote:
She explains, "we will..." (Page 10)

I believe that "we" should be capitalized.
I'm afraid it's grammatically correct as written.

Quote:
You did not include the "M" for .10 molar concentration for the HCl but you did for .20M NaOH. (Page 11)
The M was off the edge of the screen. I changed "contains" to "holds" and now it fits.

Phenolpthalein has been... (Page 11)

Phenolphthalein
Fixed!

Quote:
The user is unable to leave the pages before the simulations. The user must press F3, F4, or Enter. F1, F2, F5, 2ND, Clear, Left, or Right result in a syntax error.
This was due to a last-minute change that prevents the help from showing after you've begun the simulation. Nice catch.

sodium bicarbonate
I agree, but the TI-Nspire activity has that phrasing, and I'm following the original activity except when it's very clear to me that they've made a factual error. Smile

Thank you very much for your thorough testing.

Nice work Kerm! Very Happy Another successful port completed; way to go! Smile

For once, I have to disagree. The dialogue is a complete sentence. Therefore, by the rules of Purdue OWL, the first letter should be capitalized. Also, it is capitalized in the TI-Nspire activity.

Alright. I believe that they are two different chemicals.

Nevertheless, congratulations on another port!

Thanks for backing that up with two sources. I have gone ahead and made that change.

You're right, so even though the original activity just says "bicarbonate" (HCO3 ?), I changed mine to say "sodium bicarbonate" and adjusted a little bit of the wording on that page to make it fit properly.

Many thanks! I'm looking forward to doing a little final testing today and releasing this.

the Zombie Apocalypse I title screen.


I thought we were on II? :p (From the student pdf, via sending files)

If we have a way of seeing how much RAM a calculator has free, that might be good. I had just over 8k, I made it partially way through and it died because of out of RAM.

First simulation, PH starts at 1.0, then goes to 1.5, then 1.10, 1.15.. Same thing when it makes it to 2.

Going into second drip simulation, it says press Enter. If one presses the right key, it skips the drip test and goes to the graph.

Was there supposed to be a Prion animation in the monitor? I didn't get one.

Otherwise, everything else seemed to work out.

Nice catch.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to check. I will add a note to the two PDFs about how much RAM free you need and how to get that RAM to be free, though.

Darn, hoist by my own decimal-rendering code. Very nice catch noticing that.

That's correct behavior. You can then press [left] to return to the simulation, advance it a bit, check the graph, go back to the sim, etc.

It was supposed to change from the folded protein to an unfolded protein around 14mL.

I greatly, greatly appreciate your testing. Smile
