After reading though the wonder paper
Pessimal Algorithms and Simplexity Analysis, I thought of a wonderful idea: a reluctant quadratic solver! I'm not very good at these things, though, so I decided to bring it out to the Omnimaga community for everyone to have a go.
Goal: Make a quadratic solver.
Constraints:
· The program must always be progressing towards the goal.
Points are awarded for:
· Inefficiency
· Novelty
· Precision
· Style
· Humor
· Choice of language
Said points will be awarded per user, with a running count in the main topic. Users are free to improve any algorithm, and will get points for the improvement accordingly. Programs can be interactive or non-interactive, but the user interaction shouldn't cause repetition.
(Note: This doesn't have to be for a language on a TI calc, but I couln't think of a better place to put it. If a mod knows where this would fit better, feel free to move it.)
Points:
Coming soon!
