Calculators that can calculate that are prohibited in our school.

Calculators that can graph? Crazy Germans...

agree on that one

or maybe lazy/brainless american people

grrr....you can use them and we dont.Lucky I'm good at them

maybe we're lazy, but hey, i can program in math class instead of listening to the teacher re-work a problem 3 times. works for me.

and ravn, what's the point of the getkey in that program?

fishface617 · Post by **fishface617** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 2:44 pm

yea ive always wonderd what the get key does

btw nice program ravn, im gonan copy it into my calculator

The lines with getKey, While, getKey, and End are just a timing script. They'll simply display the outputted temperature until you press enter, and then it takes you back to the menu screen. Without that screen, it would show the conversion and go back to the menu in a split second. This just makes it so you can control how long it is.

i just use the pause command in the control section, it's more economic because it only uses one line, and it's much easier than coding in a bunch of getkey stuff.

and fishface, the getkey function gets a key code. like if i press the enter button, it may have the key code 101 or something like that. you can use this in programs to ive specefic keys operations to do when they are pressed.

how do you put in lower case letters when your typing in a program?

You need an flash app that will allow for them.
Omnicalc and Mirage add the function to your Flash OS.
Mirage is stupid and pointless unless you're one of the idiots who play games that other people made. Omnicalc is great, it gives you all sorts of useful, um, things. Like simplified square roots, sound, a sprite function (grab a section of a picture with multiples of 8 for the dimensions, great for games), and a few other things. Another great App is Symbolic, made by the same people (Detached Solutions), it adds tons of trig functions, like asin and stuff, allong with a number to string converter (it can be faulty sometimes) Symbolic is made to work with Omnicalc, of course. Another Flash App by Detached Solutions is a 3d grapher almost identical to the one on the 89 and 89T. It's really fast and has wireframe and shaded normal mode.

I'm personally working on learning to write Flash Apps, I'm going to make a full 3d engine for the TI-83+ / 84+, allong with a 3d game (most likely a first person shooter or something)

EDIT:
Just went and got some snapshots of my game:

wow, that thing looks sick! i wonder if it will work on a TI-86...

anyways, where's a link to this omnicalc thing? i could use it.

FleetAdmiralBacon · Post by **FleetAdmiralBacon** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 12:53 pm

It won't work on a TI-86. Flash Apps are localized to the specific calculator a lot more than a BASIC program. You should just go and a get a TI-84+ for the heck of it, it's a cheap graphing calculator, great for messing around with stuff. Anyways, I'll post updates on my progress in learning TI-83+ Flash App programming on GM.tk, if anyone's interested.

lol anyway looks great

BTW this is the one we are suppose to use:

won't work on an 86 anyways... maybe i can learn some assembly and make an os for it... and yeah, i didn't google because my mind is totally fried today and i've got band practice in only an hour and a half.

Wow... I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. We're required to have graphing calculators at my high school. You need one for Algebra and up, and you have to take Algebra to take almost any other science or math class. (I'm taking honors pre-calculus, which is a college level class, it covers the first of three semesters of calculus)

RaVNzCRoFT · Post by **RaVNzCRoFT** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 1:33 pm

Pre-Calculus is not a college-level course...

I'll be taking it as a sophomore.

Patrickssj6 · Post by **Patrickssj6** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 1:34 pm

I duno what Algebra what we were forbitten to have Graphical Calculators at school

Now we have cos and sin and we still dont use them.The german system is pretty outdated.

I am a sophomore, but it is a college level course. Calculus (as in A, B, and C) is college-level. Since Honors Pre-Calculus at my school contains Calculus A, it is a college level course. Owned by logic.

Do you have an AP exam? If not then you're not getting college credit.

Yes, but only after taking Calculus because it's a 3 semester class, one now, 2 in Calculus, then we take the AP test. [insert explicit word that also means dog here]

Right out of my course selection handbook for Advanced Placement Calculus BC (aka, the last 2/3rds of calculus):
"This course follows the College Board course of study that prepares students for the AP Calculus (BC) examination. Students who score well on the AP examination may receive college credit in Calculus."
Source: Strongsville City Schools Math Course Selection Guide

Back on the subject of TI-BASIC, I always use For(A,0,400):End for my pauses (stops, not the wait for enter key kind)

yea im a sophmore and im taking honors pre calc, and AP calc AB next year, then AP calc BC the next.

anyways, awsome game bacon, reminds me of pokemon
....*gets idea*.....
