Author Topic: 3-D Grapher - In TI-BASIC! (Read 1515 times)

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.

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.

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.

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

)). Remember, this isn't exactly meant to be useful.

I thought Kerm's was the ASM one o.o

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.

YAY I want to see progress on the RPG and MLC! btw did u thought about using my RPGmaker tile i converted?

I've been mostly working on MLC lately but I'm probably going to use some of your tiles.

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
