Luna 2.1

Luna is a portable command-line converter of Lua and Python scripts to TNS TI-Nspire documents.
Lua scripts require OS 3.0.2 or later, and Python scripts require CX II OS 5.2 or later.

It can also be used to convert any TI-Nspire problems in XML format to TNS documents.

Usage

• Lua program conversion: luna INFILE.lua OUTFILE.tns
• Problem conversion: luna Problem1.xml OUTFILE.tns
• Multiple files: luna Document.xml Problem1.xml [Problem2.xml...] OUTFILE.tns
• Python conversion: luna InFile1.py [InFile2.py...] OUTFILE.tns

If the input is -, it reads the file from the standard input.
Make sure to encode your Lua or Problem file in UTF-8 if it contains special characters. You can also pack arbitrary files like images into the TNS.
For Python, the first script will be the one that shows when the TNS document is opened.

Then you can just run make.
