Algebraic Firing Solution

[TorpX]

Thank-you for your kind words.

I can promise you that I will release a program that will do these calculations and put this concept into practice. It may not fulfill my ambitions 100%, but will get the job done. Someone on the forum said, it was customary for 80% of the coding to be done in 80% of the time alloted, with the remaining 20% being done in the other 80%. Based on my personal experience, I would go along with that.

One thing I decided to incorporate, is a "sketch" function where you can have a window pop up with a graphical representation, of the solution just computed. I have it working now, but would like to polish it some more. Anyway, I'm excited about it. I think people will find it worthwhile.

And there was plenty of that, I can assure you.

My first attempt I threw out because I had the X-axis accross and half-way into it, I realised it was a mistake, and I needed to start over. The second attempt, I discarded because I was trying to make multiple algebra steps in each line and some mistakes had creeped in. I decided it was best to start over... I had to use blank paper turned sideways so I could fit the equations on one line. It made me wish I had some really large chalkboards to use.
