Kirk Meyer Releases Fast 3D Grapher for TI-83+
Posted by Andy on 12 August 2002, 04:44 GMT

Kirk Meyer of Detached Solutions released a flash application Graph³. It is faster than the TI-89's built-in grapher. It features rotation, zooming, tracing, and more. It also draws either wireframe or hidden surface plots (and rotation is fast with either).

Update (Andy): Version 1.0 is now available, which fixes some bugs as well as compatibility with OS version 1.13.

This really has nothing to do with the program, other than I think its a great idea, and now I can stop trying to do that with my calculator.

I'm a TI-89 programmer. Need them? Ahh, never mind. I need to keep my own group running. TI-68K programmers for Irregular Polygon are now being unofficially recruited, to sign up, all you can do is email me, there is no sign form on my website yer.

I don't believe this...the 89 has more ram than an 83 and a faster processor(am I wrong?), so how can it graph faster, and if it can, can the 89 use the same method to graph even faster? did the TI people just not know what they were doing when they made the TI-89 grapher?

Actually, I think this was (kind of) explained further down in here. Kirk's prog was more effiecent and stuff. Plus, I think the screen size also has something to do with it.

noo see 89 has a bigger screen and thus it has to deal with more video mem and im guessing here but 89 has at leas 3 times more vid mem to work with so that really slows things down

Although the extra screen size doesn't help it, the 83+ with this code would still beat the 89 at its screen size. (I ran a test run of this actually, with a fake 160x100 video RAM.)

Although the 89 has a faster processor, they wrote in C. Even the assembly code on the 83+ isn't too efficient. It took some time to optimize the math and graphics in this to make it this fast.

Re: Re: Re: I feel old.

Doors XP is a **MULTITASKING!!** GUI interface that autodetects ASM, SOS, Ash, and BASIC programs. It includes an incredibly fast mouse program and drivers for connecting a real (!!) mouse through the linkport. It is very similar to Windows XP, with a start menu, My Documents and My Pictures folders, Word XP and Excel XP, and many other incredibly cool programs such as Media Player XP that can play music! This program will be a major breakthrough in TI shells, and can be used as an alternative to the TI-OS. Once run for the first time, it can shutdown, restart, and includes the option of a secure, integrated, uncrackable password protection program. It allows multiple usernames with separate preferences for each user. Respond or email me at Kerm_Martian@yahoo.com if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions. It can multitask up to 4 programs at once! It can even make temporary interrupt programs so that a number crunching program can run while you are playing a game!

I need beta testers to test it out. I especially need skilled porters to convert it to TI-83+ ASM and Flash.

Please email me at Kerm_Martian@yahoo.com if you can help.

     14 August 2002, 19:53 GMT


It really can do all of that?
no_one_2000_  Account Info
(Web Page)

Your program can do all of that? You must have worked on it for a long time--It can play music? I assume it needs headphones/AM radio? When you say it detects "Ash", you mean it's for the TI-82 as well? If it can detect Ash, can it detect CrASH? CrASH is more popular than Ash, because it can run most Ash games.

It can communicate with all sorts of devices using TICI (pronounced "tea key"), or TI Connection Inteface. It's kind of like USB, only for calculators. Now don't start flaming me about what a stupid idea it is, because it just needs a simple 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter for the headphones. As for the Ash/CRaSh stuff, I hope to put those in Version 1.0. If you can give me any suggestions or info, please go to www.DoorsXP.tk and enter your suggestion in the Guestbook. Hope this answers your questions.

Doors XP looks cool ... a little ambitious, but if it can be done, Kerm would be hailed as the next programming genius.
And a note for Kerm: The TI-85 port of Unreal Tournament is going to be really hard or even impossible to do due to the fact that it doesn't have the Text( command and probably others that are essential to the game. So don't expect to see a TI-85 version any time soon.

You could also just connect the headphones using a stereo to stereo adapter; then you just put the left stream through the tip of the link port and the right through the middle. Base is GND.

I know plenty of girls who think geeks are sexy. And I (a female, in case you lunkheads haven't picked up on that yet) think calculators are awesome. But, ya know, "What calculators do you have?" is not a good way to express interest in a girl.

As for all the ticalc users being male.... well that's a load of crap. My two best friends come here as often as most of you guys. Many female geeks claim a male identity in cyberspace because they feel more accepted. Often they don't ever address the issue and it is just assumed that they are male. There are more of us here reading you guys' gossip than you probably think.

Well, that's pretty weird.
Here are some good sentences to start with before asking a girl out on a date.

"So... how many graphing calculators do you own?"
"Oh my gosh! I can't belive AMS 2.08 is out already!"
"Hey, want to make z80 ASM program together?"
"And, so anyway, the TI-82 doesn't have strings, and so you can't use some of those cool functions that the TI-83 has, but it's okay sometimes, because you can work around it, but it's hard, you know, because it's just so annyoing to have to do all that stuff to convert numbers to characters, but anyway, so I did it, I actually found a pretty fast way to do that and it runs okay and you know, it doesn't have any memory leaks, and so it works really great..."
I should shut up now. I've actually said things similar to girls. They usually just roll their eyes and walk away.

I have the type that you can put in and keep in for a week, then take them out, and put them in for another week. Then throw them out and get a new pair. It's really nice, because you don't have to worry about them too much.

Man, you're lucky! My optometrist (sp?) doesn't think I should have extended wear lenses. Something to do with my eyes (duh), but he didn't explain much. Although he prescribed contacts for me when I was 9, so he's pretty good. A lot of them won't let kids that young have them. Anyway, I don't wear them much, even though my vision is terrible. Just when I drive (which isn't often, ever since I hit that curb,) and special occasions where I need to see, lol.. I really should get into the habit of wearing them more often..

Yes, and now you've exemplified how not to act on message boards.

"Please be constructive and keep comment topics relevant to the article you are replying to." - Violated.
"Messages containing "first comment" boasts, requests for game ports, or criticisms of "newsworthiness" will generally be deleted." - Violated.
"Don't use language you wouldn't hear on U.S. network television." - Violated (no one would scream "first post" on national television).
Don't insult or flame other people in your comments. Keep such sentiments to private email, or better yet, avoid them completely." - Violated (you are insulting all the mature people who came here for serious calculator discussion).

Now that you've been so kind as to demonstrate barbaric and childish behavior, we can move on to the real purpose of my post. This program is very impressive, and since it runs faster than the TI-89, I think that this should show TI how much they are capable of optimizing. I'd like to see the 89/92+/Voyage 200's OS overhauled to be more efficient, like the HP calcs were. It'd really nice for the operating systems to take full advantage of the hardware for once.

Hey, let's be a little nicer, shall we? If ticalc.org really believes it's worthless, they'll delete it. You took the "Don't use language you wouldn't hear on national television." out of context, you know what they meant by that. He was replying to something relevant, and said it was cool, which means he likes it. And I don't believe he was intentionally trying to insult you. Now that you've made this post, I'm forced to respond with something that has nothing to do with the article as well. But to keep it on topic, I haven't downloaded the program yet, but it's nice and on that note, I agree with you.

Now that you've been so kind as to demonstrate barbaric and childish behavior, we can move on to the real purpose of my post. "

Jeesh, chill out. You didn't have to insult the person; you're part of the reason that drives people away from boards like this, and then you don't get the input you need. Think about it; a post that says "Woot awesome! (insert garbage here)" and a tactfully worded, "this is a good idea... (insert high vocabulary level garbage here)" essentially say the same thing: you like the program, which is why most people make these programs. Unlike yourself, who does all that Detached work that sometimes earns money, most people make the programs solely for the satisfaction of helping others. Your pompous attitude towards newbies is going to drive them away, and thus eventually cause the decline and end of sites like this.

So, Michael, GROW UP and stick to the guidelines of the board by commenting on the article, and not bashing others. And, learning a little bit of tact might be wise too; "Welcome to the board; just as a warning, they usually delete stuff like that, so watch out in the future" would be at least more civil than "Yes, and now you've exemplified how not to act on message boards." Next time, just don't post; you'll make all of us that much happier to not have to listen to your incessant ramblings.

And so this post is somewhat relevant (and so I don't get posts yelling at me the same way that he yelled at the first poster), this program looks awesome. I may occasionally have had issues with Kirk in the past, since his programs always seemed to make front page while he worked on staff, but he is a very good programmer, and this program demonstrates that well. Kudos to Kurt!

Then you do agree. Be gentle. Your criticism of him is called for, if not in that manner.

Michael, try to remember what its like to be a loser (everyone starts as one), failing at everything you try, being mocked by the greators. Then, remember what it is like to be a so-so (for lack of a better word), anxious for approval.

Think of yourself 5 years ago, or 10, or whenever you were not-so-hot (and you were at some point, we all were.)

Finally, I have to disagree with that guy's remarks about DS/TCPA. Granted, they may put on airs sometimes, but that doesn't mean that they only program for money.

Please excuse the akward phrasing of this post, I'm just trying to make a point without being eloquent.

I would like to apologize for my tone in my post last night about Mr. Vincent's comments. Although they were inappropriate, the way I responded kinda was too... especially pulling Detached Solutions into the mix. The people at DS are excellent programmers, and actually do it for free (that's the scary part). So I apologize for my comments about the group and for the rashness of my post, although I do stand by my comments about the need for Mr. Vincent to cool down.

Thank you; hopefully this can end this portion of the debate and get back to discussing Kirk's program.

Hey Guys, I got a question for all of you about C for the TI-89 and TI-92+

Alright, PLEASE answer me if you know...

Because I'm VERY confused here...

Okay, in a program, when sending variables from 1 calculator to another,

there are two functions SendCalc and GetCalc, how should I use these to send back and forth bytes, in a program? On one, do I need to use SendCalc and on the other GetCalc? Or do I just need to use one? I'm REALLY confused, because the documentation doesn't really give any help. PLEASE, PLEASE! Help me!

Re: Re: Re: Kirk Meyer Releases Fast 3D Grapher TI-83+

I know this for 83+.
Getcalc recieves a var (let's say X) and stores it to the receiver's X. It tries once and if it fails, it fails. The sending calc must be paused or inactive, not busy. For example:
Repeat X=[whatever you are waiting for]
GetCalc(X
End
I don't know about Send calc.
However, OmniCalc for 83+ has a function that keeps waiting for a byte...

Don't get a V200... I won one from TI, and I should have gotten the CBL2 instead. It's just about the same as the 89, aside from the QWERTY keyboard, oversized archive (3.7MB, very little of which can be used for things other than APPs), and its incredible bulkiness. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that an 89 is a better investment. On a side note, did anyone notice who posted this news article? Andy's back! PARADE! (::sigh:: It never seems to get old.)

I'm still thinking I will sell it. I could use the cash, and I still have an 89. If I buy one of those TI keyboards when they come out, I'll have something that is almost as good as a V200, and I'll have another $100 or so in the bank. Kirk, how did you sell yours? eBay, perchance? How much did you get for it? Congrats on your win, by the way. TI needs more contests like that. :o)
