In this thread you can request a program, and i'll either make it or see if I can find it.

i would work on geometry type programs area(multi sided figures) circles if u get really good u can work on a tic tac toe + ai so ur playng the calc

[WMD54]

i just had an idea of how i could do tic-tac-toe, ummm any specific area-finding type programs (for certain shapes or something?)

[SonniE]

tic tac toe could be simple using the 1-9 keys as selections then for diff shapes yea.

yeah that's what i was thinking... and let me rephrase my question i guess. do you have a certain shape you would like me to make an area-finding program for? b/c i am lacking some inspiration here :G

yea i have a shape. try finding the volume of an egg. (without using fluid displacement) The method is called "solid of revolution". google it. if you can make a program to calculate that, ill be very impressed. =] good luck!

sweet! a challenge! lmao i'll get on it

Oh yeah it's definitely a challenge. I had to do it for a project in 9th grade. It's my fault i picked it. I had to find the volume of "The Great Gherkin (http://plus.maths.org/issue42/features/foster/gherkin_outside_web.jpg)" in London.

Turns out, it required calculus. (solid of revolution is learned at calculus level) So i taught myself just that part of calculus to finish the project. Took me quite a while. (which is why it would make a great program)

Unfortunately, without using fluid displacement, it's impossible to get the exact size. (due to the disk method) However, you can get infinitely precise measurements but never exact.

ugh... i've been swamped with homework so i haven't had time to work on either tic tac toe or that math program. i'll get some time over the thanksgiving break to work on them though, so i might have some new stuff to release soon.
