People can already check out the code on https://github.com/jimbauwens/PCspire.
However, it's not yet noob proof

But it will

Currently these things need to be fixed:
- Drawing arcs (draws a full circle now)
- When invalidating specific screen parts, it can skip a couple of pixels. Shouldn't be a problem for most programs, but it needs to be fixed anyway.
- Text offsets need to be improved
- Images need better alpha support

These things need to be added:
- Tool palette (menu system that hardly anybody uses

)
- Cursor changing. This is more hard because love2d doesn't support this directly

Stuff that I might never implement because they are very hard:
- math.eval (requires CAS engine and TI-Basic interpreter)
- D2Editor (requires rtf interpreter)
- Physics (love2d has physics, but it would be too hard to make it compatible with the chipmunk one on the nspire)

Programs I tested that work fine:
- Updated version of Cubefield
- LogoMagic
- Klondike Lua
- Some programs that use the EEPro widgets (I forgot the names, or maybe I didn't name them yet

)
- Color Tetris
- BlockBreaker Lua
- Bloxorz
- some other tiny stuff I made
