I Love Core Plot!!

The BQS is able to graph your quadratic now.  And through the help of the great people at Core Plot, I have added touch notations!  So if you want to find a point on the graph, just touch it!  If you are looking for a great static library that will graph for you, Core Plot is the way to go.  They have some great examples on their website, and plenty of helpful people, both at their website, and on Stackoverflow.  You should really check it out.  My next move is to update the BQS with the touch annotations, but I am making sure the App handles all kinds of uses.  I did find two errors on my part.  One, I cut short the number of decimals in my float variables so when graphing a number with something like 0.0003, it would transfer it as just zero.  So I fixed that.  Also, when rotating on the radical screen, in landscape you would lose the i's.  I just needed to adjust the struts and springs.  So these will all be addressed with the next update, but I will do an update first of iOS 5.  I am working on transferring all the code to iOS 6.  When that gets done I will update once again.  Hopefully the BQS is finished and I can start working on my next App.  A data analysis program to be used in my Physics classes!

Uploaded the BQS update

Well, I uploaded the new binary for the next version of the Blue Quadratic Solver.  It is version 2.0 and can graph your quadratic as long as it has real roots.  Apple's servers were down yesterday so I got an error; Unable to process application Info.plist validation at this time due to a general error.  A bunch of people were having the same problem.  I actually emailed Apple and they called me back in about 2 minutes to let me know what the problem was!  I just love Apple!  So I hope you enjoy the new version.  Soon, I am going to send in the update for the Cool Converter so it supports device rotation and Rankines as another temp scale.  I am also going to try and make the BQS graph equations that do not have real roots.  I will keep you posted!

Updates again!

Well, I am updating the Blue Quadratic Solver right now.  I am using a static library called Core Plot to make a graph of the equation for visualization.  It is a bit tough because many of the tuts out there are a bit old.  Also, many of the examples do not use ARC which I have only done.  So I am struggling, but all the helpful people at Stackoverflow have been very nice to me!  I have even been able to get a great looking xy scatter plot going and will upload a pic soon.  Can't wait to be done and get this up on the App Store.  I think it will be one of the best quad solvers out there!

Both got accepted!

Both the Cool Converter and the RUExempt? Update got accepted last night!  It was pretty quick.  Now I have three Apps, onward and upward.

Submitted Cool Converter

Well, I got the Cool Converter up and running the way I wanted.  So I submitted it the other day.  I also updated RUExempt? with a new panel that will calculate your total grade for the year.  That is awaiting review as well.  Hopefully I will hear soon from Apple!

Temperature Converter App

Well, I just finished another App called Cool Converter.  It is just a temperature converter, but I went on the App store to find some and looked at all the reviews and tried to make mine have some of the features that people were complaining that others did not have.  I also, used a custom keyboard, and sounds!  The keyboard keys click and if your device supports vibrate, it will vibrate on any alerts popping up.  I still have to work out a couple of things to get it fully ready, but they are minor, color and such, so I should be able to upload to the App store soon for review.  I will keep you posted.
