3-D Grapher - In TI-BASIC!
« on: December 08, 2006, 04:48:00 pm »
I know I have way too many projects, but while I was waiting for my violin lesson yesterday, I started working on a 3-D graphing program - in TI-BASIC for my Ti-84+ Silver Edition.  Right now, it actually can graph simple equations (I didn't feel like making a complicated expression parser).  I know there's already a 3-D graphing program in assembly by Detached Solutions, but this is just something to occupy my spare time when I have a calculator with me, but not a computer.  Who knows, maybe it'll actually turn out kind of useful.  For now, though, it's just kind of a neat TI-BASIC program.

I'll try to get some screenshots up.  :)smile.gif

i wonder if something like this could be done in MLC? That would pwn to have grayscale graphs

It would definitely be possible in MLC.  :)smile.gif  But note that MLC is mostly meant to be a game programming language.  

I'm going to try to make it so that this program can detect intersecting graphs, find roots, etc.  I should probably focus more on MLC and Omnimaga - The RPG though.  :Ptongue.gif

Not to boast or anything, but:

I've been having a few ideas on hidden line that I wouldn't mind implementing.  Perhaps you've had similar ideas?

That looks great!  Mine probably will have the same amount of features (or less :Ptongue.gif)).  Remember, this isn't exactly meant to be useful.

I thought Kerm's was the ASM one o.oblink.gif I guess it was DetachedSolution

Lately, I've felt less motivated to program this.  It's probably because Kerm already made is (not that it's a bad thing that you made yours - I think it's awesome).  I guess it's a good thing, in a way, because that means more progress on MLC and Omnimaga - The RPG.

I've been mostly working on MLC lately but I'm probably going to use some of your tiles.  :)smile.gif  The thing I don't like about some of them is that they just...have too many dots.  It seems like there aren't any parts where there is just one solid color, instead of a bunch of dots.  I'm still going to probably use most of them though.

well ythats what happen when you convert from 256 colors to 4 lv of gray and resize to 25%-50% of the original size x.x
