Welcome to the Xenon developer's thread. We are a company that makes math-based projects. Our current mission is to make a complete calculator in Scratch — a computation engine. Here is an example. Ours will be much simpler.

Whoops! I'll add you, too. But, checking back at the list, I'm not adding anyone else without a good reason. I don't want people who just posted 'I'll Join!' and nothing else to get credit.

No, not until all active people have posted here. I don't want people not knowing where this thread is (unlikely, but could happen).

Re: Xenon Inc. Developers' Thread

so what exactly is this going to be? Just a normal scratch project that answers stuff, or a hacked scratch?

It will function somewhat like a graphing calculator, or simply an expression evaluator.  Try out Wolfram Alpha with an expression like 5/(4+sqrt(3/2)*5.2)^2

We will not be hacking Scratch. 

Read through the previous forum topic.  That should explain what you're asking better.

Re: Xenon Inc. Developers' Thread

I think that while we're working on the 'big' project (the cal engine), we should also work on a 'mini' project. Thoughts?

PS Googling 'xenon computation engine' puts this thread at the top match!

Maybe it would help more people be active.
What would we do?
Do you mind if I ask the Inc. to be capitalized in the title?

I don't know, something easy. The point is that the calc engine will require 1 at a time work, so most of us will be waiting for the rest. A mini project will keep everyone interested, and also improve our reputation as a good collab.

Yeah, I figured out the point.  tongue
Maybe we could do something that does long division.

Good idea: maybe something to do sums, and show the steps!

Hmmm, applejack could do the number logos really well, see Virus (in his projects, I'm too lazy to link  big_smile
