Calculator

[Zehper48]

Hey,
i was wondering if anybody has made a calculator with game editor. if anybody has could they upload it? or if anybody has ideas how to make one could they tell me?

thanks

I thought about trying to make a calculator in ge, but I never got around to trying it. If anybody has made one, I'd be curious to see how they did it too!

[asmodeus]

I'll try it!

there's one type of calculator very easy to make:
u just take three textboxes, write a number in there and have the buttons: +, -, x and :
if u press +,

Code: Select all

txb3.textNumber = txb1.textNumber + txb2.textNumber;

with -

Code: Select all

txb3.textNumber = txb1.textNumber - txb2.textNumber;

with x

Code: Select all

txb3.textNumber = txb1.textNumber * txb2.textNumber;

with :

Code: Select all

txb3.textNumber = txb1.textNumber / txb2.textNumber;

txb1,txb2,txb3 are the names of the textboxes.
+ is plus
- is minus
x is multiplying
: is dividing.

I think that should work
(at least in theory)

Heres a calculator. It's not that great but its good for a reference.

Yeah...basic calculator is so easy...but, how about scientific calculator???Which use :
sin, cos, tan, inv, hyp, rand, etc...

Or graphical calculator?

[Game A Gogo]

Graphical calulator, would be possible, USE CANVAS 83 but although, there could be some tricky places

[Bee-Ant]

Btw, could you all make other mathematic programs???like Matrix, Aljabar, Logarithm, etc...oh yah, do you know how to find x1 and x2 from x^2+5x+4=0 for example...

[Kalladdolf]

with some geometric figures?
should be actually possible, like using phytagoras' law or something

[Kalladdolf]

actually entering mathemathical laws into GE should be the EASIEST thing on earth...
I mean, we actually don't do anything else when programming!

[Game A Gogo]

although, GE does not have the sin-1, cos-1 and tan-1, like the inverse of sin, cos and tan.

[Bee-Ant]

No, I think if GE could make Math program...we dont need our notes to study before exam...just open your PPC with Math program inside to pass all questions...Muahahahahah...
It would make so easy

I would beleive you are wrong about this one Game-a-Gogo. asin(), acos(), atan() would be the arcsin, arcosin, and arctan respectively in this case, which are the inverses. IMPORTANT NOTICE: this reders the angle values in radians and NOT degrees. To do this conversion, use the radtodeg() function. For those of you who do not know about radians, it is simply another method of representing an angle in the mathematics field. A radian basically uses the measure of the lenght of the arc of a sector(piece of a circle) of 1 unit radius to represent angles, it is superior to degrees in many applications.

That's all for now!

Code: Select all

txb3.textNumber = txb1.textNumber + txb2.textNumber;

Although it certainly works, for a serious application I would not suggest using textNumber for things like this. Use properly named global variables.
