Title: ZPATH - Imaginary Recursive Path Plotter
Post by: brentmaas on January 23, 2015, 03:42:37 PM
Whilst bored at math, I made a small TIBasic program to plot a recursive path for imaginary numbers. I had no actual plans with it, but Cumred_Snektron told me I should post it here, so here you go.

Copy of the readme:
Made by Brent Maas
ZPATH is a program designed for plotting recursive paths of imaginary numbers.
It has been developed and successfully tested on a TI 84+, compatibility for other devices unknown.

Z(0):       The very first value of the imaginary number Z.
Z(n):       Recursive formula using Z(0) as first number. Can use all operations originally delivered by the TI OS.
            The variable N is used as replacement for Zn-1.
Iterations: Amount of times the formula will be executed.

For best results:
-Toggle AxesOff in the FORMAT menu.
-Expand your window to a suitable size in the WINDOW menu.

Reminds me of basic solvers that I write whenever our teacher gives us a new formula. This is quite more advanced than anything I've wrote. Looks nice, I might put it onto my calc.

this guy gets it.

You mean like all the quadratic solvers I wrote? :P

You made more than one? O.O

Am I the only community member who never wrote a quadratic solver? ???

Yeah, it was one of the first programs i wrote (at one point they're just slowing you down and it takes longer to do your homework, so yeah <_<)

I myself don't even know how to write one because I never really needed such program and I never bothered learning how to write my own. My first program was some sort of menu-based tool meant to be used alongside a dice+pen comic-based role playing game, then my second calc program was the ancestor of Illusiat which had menu-based battles.

Well theres a simple equasion, so it's as simple as "prompt a,b,c" and a few Disp's :P

But how do you add 3D polygon and grayscale support? <_<

what are you talking about? i mean this one eh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula)

I was kidding because there is a quadratic equation solver on ticalc.org that features grayscale graphics and requires xLIB or Doors CS 7 to run. :P

Seems like a bit of an overkill

It was meant as a joke really. Back in the days, the entire 83+ math section was just 1 folder and about 100 programs were quadratic solvers. So many were uploaded that ticalc once stopped accepting new ones, except the grayscale one was let in since it was meant to be a parody of the lack of originality on ticalc.org.

It actually came out shortly after the grayscale number guessing game.

Don't forget about the most important (http://www.omnimaga.org/computer-projects-and-ideas/quadratic-burd-solver/) Quadratic Solver. :P

Oh wow I totally forgot about that Flappy Bird clone. Probably due to being unable to run it on this computer, though. :P

However, before Flappy Bird, there was the quadratic solver+guessing game combined together. :P
