A85: Why do anything and another question.
Does anyone know a Jenn Lebeck that lives in Delton, MI?
The theory behind this compiler is that even though it uses libraries is
that it will be as optimized as possible, very portable (just click a
different button and it will compile for different calculators and
different OSs), and that it can expand indefinitely. The interface
should be similar to C. I don't need to have such complicated routines
but you can do so much more with them. Square roots can be used in
raytracing, which is helpful in games like Daedalus. I even thought
about making a 2D, overhead, raytracing RPG that blacked out everything
that you couldn't see. I could use a square root for that. In my
TI-85-BASIC game QUEST which can be found on TICalc I used the square
root function to weigh the amount your maximum health would increase by
each time you got a level up. An optimized square root function would
also be faster than the default one in the calculator. Humans never
really needed telephones, but one was built and look what a success it
was. With all of these mathematical equations and algorithms we don't
need calculators so why are we all wasting our time on this list?
Because we want to.
