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.
Why doesn't someone try yo find it in the ROM?
