This might just be because I'm a beginner, but this is extremely impressive. I'm blown away that people can do this kind of stuff with ti basic.

I don't think they're faster, though.

I would recommend not using lists, as they are VERY slow compared to normal variables.
You should use finance variables for the variables you use the most, and normal for the rest, and maybe put them into a list when exiting the program.

I think earthnite actually wants to preserve the settings so that he doesn't have to enter them again after running another program that uses variables or lists.

Hm, I didn't know about the list inside list thing. As for preserving variables, you shouldn't need to preserve letter variables (especially X, Y, and T), and preserving lists isn't necessary either.

It looks like you're storing multiple 3d coordinates into ∟P3D.

∟P3D= {x1,y1,z1,?,?,?,boolean,?,x2,y2,z2,x3,y3,z3,x4,y4,z4,x5,y5,z5,x6,y6,z6,scale1,scale2,transl1,transl2}

You may be able to get a speedup if you used one of the following (I'm not sure which one is appropriate):

a three-row matrix
three real lists
a real list and a complex list
six or seven lists of three elements each

to store your data. What do each of the points represent, and is the output the (x,y) value of the projection of your point to display on the graph?

Additionally, I'm confused about L1. Why does it have dimension 3 at the start and dimension 2 at the end? Do you need a result in L1, or can it be in Ans? Do you need any side effects from this routine (is there something it needs to do other than return a value in L1)?

Mostly for my purposes, I replaced ∟P3D with L₃ in the code below. I made only trivial optimizations, and I assume that you only need the result in Ans, not L1. Don't replace your routine with this until I better understand what's going on.

L₁ If L₃(7 Then {L₃(9),L₃(10),L₃(11)}-Ans→L₂ {L₃(12),L₃(13),L₃(14 L₁+L₂sum(({L₃(1),L₃(2),L₃(3)}-L₁)Ans)/sum(AnsL₂){L₃(15),L₃(16),L₃(17 End {L₃(24)sum(Ans{L₃(18),L₃(19),L₃(20)}),L₃(25)sum(Ans{L₃(21),L₃(22),L₃(23 If not(L₃(7 Ans+{L₃(26),L₃(27

It wasn't working for me earlier today, when I was using google chrome, but it works in firefox.

I may be able to optimize some small time-intensive sections of the code if you post it here.

I posted this thread in 'Project Ideas' for a reason— it's only an idea. (I too would like to see the program's complete source code, like Michael2_3B.)

The gif doesn't appear to be working :/

EDIT: nevermind, i see it now :)

Where is yours? Did you post about it? I would love to see it, even if it's not that fast :)

Well, good luck. If you have any questions, I'd be glad to help you :)

I like challenges, so I might just try doing this is TI-B. Thanks, m8.

Honestly, this is hardly feasible in TI-Basic. You have to calculate the vectors and a bunch of other things I don't even know about. If you tried to do it in Basic it would be incredibly slow. Axe, ASM, or Hybrid Basic would be much better.

Btw, I think you might enjoy looking at

P.S. You're fine, that's pretty much the same thing I did when I was a newbie here ;)

Heyzzah everybody,

I was wondering if I could get any help with coding a 3D model viewer in TI-Basic. The idea I am thinking of is a basic "orbiting" camera tool that would allow one to view a 360 view of a pre-programmed model (maybe once the code is in place for viewing the model, a program to easily create models could be developed). Due to my lack of experience and complete understanding of advanced TI-Basic programming, I require a "teacher" of sorts to explain to me the advanced coding that would need to be used for this project. If you can help, just post below.

Thank you,
-Will
