Is anyone actually making a grayscale quadratic solver, or am I free to? Very Happy

There are workarounds around that. For example, archive the variable before the Input command.

And I don't think anyone's making a grayscale quadratic equation solver.

ai-ai-ai-ai....dont give him any ideas..... on the other hand, it would round out TiCalc.org collection quite nicely:

I'm doing it anyway, if I can get the grayscale tutorials working for me.

Just keep guessing 1, your program changes the number each time.

No, not really. We don't need any more spam.

What exactly are you planning to do in grayscale? The splash screen?

I optimised Weregoose by 1 byte!!! Cool

Except for if Ans is 0 at the beginning of the program, your code exits Wink

Way to rain on my parade! Any way to use a repeat loop instead? I can't think of any, not( wouldn't save the byte.

Well, Radical Pi was able to do that while discussing string subsets in the channel. Rolling Eyes

most of my programs only get 1 or 2 optimizations. Very Happy I remember when I closed every parenthesis, and put 1 line if statements inside Then End (although that does actually make it faster).

:blush: You have to realize I'm learning from the best. And what you eventually came up with was the same as mine. Though I don't understand how it gave you an error - did you figure that out?

I think it was forgetting the space at the end of the string. ;)

In a perfect world, I wouldn't have any code left to optimize! Very Happy

but then it wouldn't be as perfect because we'd no longer be able to cut 1k out of a 5k program in a single coding session (Ive done it....and if I can goose can) and thus lose a major source of entertainment

Since the number gets re-generated every time, your probability of guessing it stays at .01 and you can optimize the code to:


Code:
Repeat 0
ClrHome
Disp "Guess my number!
Repeat not(Ans
Input ">",X
int(randE2
If Ans
Disp "Wrong!
End
Disp "Right!
rand(48
End

With a 1% chance, I think you're pretty safe optimizing it to:

Disp "Guess my number:
While 1
Input ">",X
Disp "Wrong!
End

Off topic but I didn't want to have to create a new topic for such a small problem. I have a finished project. I dont have a link to the computer for my calculator. Is it OK to upload the project in a notepad document?
