Title: We Need More Quadratic Solvers!!!
Post by: ralphdspam on March 19, 2011, 06:59:42 pm
There is a huge problem on ticalc.org: as of now, they have only 144 TI-BASIC quadratic solvers. 
How are we supposed to solve the quadratic formula if we have this small amount?

In the way I see it, a growing calculator community should have thousands of quadratic solvers!

Please submit your quadratic solver before the first of April.  Make sure to make your program unique!

If 100 of us submit a quadratic solver, thousands will be happy.

I still like the tunnel idea in there ;D

One for each user! Everyone is unique; shouldn't quad solvers be as unique as we are? ;D

Clearly combining quadratic solvers and tunnel games is the way to go.

We need to have calcnet-enabled solvers, that can use all the calcs' powers as one! then we can quadratically solve all numbers!

You should improve on the interface. When given two of the coefficients, the program should predict the third coefficient, and solving for it.

I believe the future of quadratic solvers lies in sound and grayscale!

Maybe it can even have a big blue finale! (PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS ONE AT HOME!)

Hmm idea... a number guessing game merged with a tunnel clone and a quadratic solver. Type a formula, then it starts a tunnel game. Guess a number from 1 to 3 and if you guess right it lets you move in a direction and then gives you the quadratic formula answer thing after surviving 10 seconds. O.O

And don't forget the sound and 16-level grayscale.

Well, mine has a cubic solver in it.

Well, that would work, but you have to add Castlevania in it

Castlevania makes ANYTHING and EVERYTHING better :D

Is anyone really going to make a quadratic solver for April 1?  I am planning to. :P

Yeah the quadratic solver has to run crysis :P

I think imma try to make crazy one either.

I'll make a racing quadsolver.
the 'rank' you get is the A, the time you take(in frames) is the B, and the number of times crashed into something is a C
I'll start now.

Here's an idea: ask for the coefficients, and the program will find the roots. You will then be required to GUESS the roots that it solved, and if you get it wrong, you will have to survive in the tunnel for 10 seconds. Oh, and to be even more evil: to guess the number, the tunnel will expand and split into the digits, and you have to travel through the hole that corresponds to the digit you want to guess.

Someone should mod Runer's insane tunnel game to be a quadratic solver (with his permission) :P

so what do I do with quad solvers that I made?
Where do I post?

Just post them on ticalc.org.  You can link to them on this topic. :)

I posted my solver, but I have a feeling it will be denied. :\

Hehe, I am putting on the finishing touches to mine... I didn't actually make anything special, though :/ It is just a slow process selecting the coefficients... I plan to make some way where you need to input your values to begin with, then your selected coefficients are used to find the roots and then depending on how accurate your two inputs are will determine how accurate the output result is :D

Posted mine on tcalc.org...
I hope it would get approved because it's evil and its size is nicely capped at 666 bytes... >:D

What you need to do, Xeda, is write yours in Hex, if you haven't already.

I wonder if the files will be accepted.  They have 14 files pending as of now.

Post by: Ashbad on March 31, 2011, 05:09:21 pm
Mine lets you input the coefficients, but then says 'Well, those are boring numbers let's try (x), (y), (z) instead" and then it solves for them instead :P
