What? Just you, one person by themselves? That’s incredible.

Thanks. The software development team is smaller than one might imagine. All of the developers that have been involved over the life of the project have each committed a fair chunk of code to the project (the others are no slouches!). At times, the development team has been larger: there’s been many valuable contributions from software developers that aren’t part of the current crew. (And, of course, the project as a whole depends on many who aren’t writing code.)

Yes, Tim has asked about that too. The precision of the arithmetic currently used by the Advanced Graphing app is insufficient for these sorts of formulas. Adding an app targeted towards integer grid plotting might be one way we could get another fun graph gallery added to the Prime. (A general integer grid plotting app along with improved PPL - Plot view interaction could make implementing games on rectangular grids an easier exercise for those so inclined.)

Liam Hays Wrote:My only complaint with the gallery is that you have to save Advanced Graphing as a new app to be able to access the equations.

Hmmmm… yes… something to think about!

(I’ve just typed in & deleted a bunch of thoughts: possibilities, options, trade-offs… I guess I was right, at first: something to think about! )
