3-D Cube Rotating
« on: October 12, 2006, 10:08:00 am »
If you thought the 3-D environment was cool, I made a program that lets the user rotate a 3-D cube vertically and horizontally, all in pure TI-BASIC (which required a lot of mathematics).  B)cool.gif

Here's a screenshot of it running on a regular TI-83+ (and note that it is unoptimized):

I'll try to get a download link up soon.

 O_Oshocked2.gif That must have taken a LOT of math knowledge.

Yeah, it involved quite a bit of mathematics.

could you post the formula/code?

Yeah.  There's this one line of code that is really important, and determines the coordinates of the points in terms of radian angles:

c1-->
CODE
ec1:iPart(Q(sin(RL2))+40→L1c2
ec2

hmm I c, I should try to study some 3d stuff a bit more in case i decided to do some 3d prog in the future on PC or if I ever learned a language faster than TI-BASIC

Basic can get so complicated...

I'm not impressed by the video or that it constantly redraws, but the mere fact that you did it in Basic is lolzomgwtfzorsinmypants. And like you said, it can probably get alot faster.
Good job.
One of these days I'll get a sig I'm really proud of.

Looks pretty cool! Kudos.

I have a n00b question: I know when programming in C/C++, you can write screen data to a buffer before you send it to the screen, which increases frame rate and reduces flicker. Is there a way to do that in BASIC?

in pure basic, no. WIth xLIB commands you can choose to send it immediately or just save it to graph buffer. It's cool cuz then I ended up being able to make a DDR clone with animated background with arrows moving up
