Title: Would this be possible?
Post by: Scipi on March 03, 2011, 05:07:05 pm

Since the nSpire is able to handle 3d games like nDOOM easily, I was wondering if it would be possible to create a 3d graphing program. Also, with raycasting, could it even be turnable to view from different angles.

Well, nspire CX will hav 3d graphing capability so...
And I believe there is already a raycasting for nspire.

3D graphin is not my expertise, but it has nothing to do with raycasting.  raycasting is the process of portraying a 2D map into pseudo 3D.  3D graphing is a totally different process.

But yes, it's entirely possible :)  in fact I think OS 3.0 will include it ;)

yeah, Nspire OS 3.0 includes it, as long as it doesnt lock the calc down again.  ;)  However, this is a good project form someone to take as TI's probably not going to let OS 3.0 keep compatibility with Ndless  :P

I wonder what will be the speed...

seeing as the z80 line calcs can handle quick 3d graphing, one wouldn't even need to worry about optimising in order to create an nspire counterpart.

Yeah, but we're talking about TI code, here. We never know with them. O.O
