    Many of you might know the Conic sections, the Circle, Ellipse, Parabola and the Hyperbola... Well now I just made them in TPT.

    The Circle: Made by (obviously) using the normal brush to make a simple circle

    The Ellipse: Mady by using an elongated circle brush to make an... Ellipse!

    The Parabola: Harder here, you have to actually make a graph in tpt, and try to connect the points to make a parabola, do some finnicky smoothing and boom! A Parabola is born

    The Hyperbola: Made by placing a circle of whol, and shooting phot at it at an angle, this creates a hyperbola in presistent display mode, now just trace what you see on the 3-Display mode, and Pow, a Hyperbola is created.

    You can post more ideas for me to make theese kinds of mathematical figures.

    Okay, I have a really fun scripting challenge in mind, which I'm probably going to do myself in a few hours: an element called CNCS, of which when you place five, they plot a conic section with DMND which contains all five of them, then they delete themselves. If no such conic section exists, you get a message.

    There's a different way to make what I believe is a hyperbola such as


    I've recently been trying to make a perfect parabola to create parralel beams of energy particles (PHOT, PROT, ELEC), but like you said the only real way to do it is tedious graphing :/

    This is a Lua script (it's already on the script server, waiting for approval).

     

    don't flood fill with that element

    Huh, interesting, I'll see if I can compare it to the ones I made, to see how accurate they are.

    It's kind of available already if you want to check it right now :P Still not approved though.

    Hey, that does make nice hyperbolas! :D
