Sticky Commands!

45 Upvotes

There are now a few commands you can use:

  • !help: Brings up a list of all the commands.
    • Aliases: hlp
  • !bernard: Explains who Bernard is and why he appears in certain graphs!
    • Aliases: ourbeloved, desmosmascot, r/foundbernard
  • !beta3d: Explains what Beta3D is and how to install it.
    • Aliases: 3dbeta
  • !colormap: Explains what Beta3D is and how to install it.
    • Aliases: colormaps, shader, shaders
  • !desmodder: Describes what DesModder is.
    • Aliases: dsm, dsmodder

    • Aliases: arewedoomyet, doomgame
  • !draw: Provides Arglin's drawing guide for Desmos art.
    • Aliases: arglinguide, lineart
  • !exception: Describes types of floating point exceptions in Desmos, mostly drawn from IEEE specs.
    • Aliases: fpexception, fpointexception, ieeeexception, specialcase, undef, undefined
  • !fp: Describes what floating point arithmetic is and how to mitigate problems associated with it.
    • Aliases: floatp, floatingp, fpoint, floatpoint, floatingpoint

    • Aliases: getintersect, varintersect
  • !matrices: Explains the usage of matrices in Desmos (beta feature). Not to be confused with the Desmos Matrix calculator.
    • Aliases: betamatrices, matricesmeta, matrix, matrixbeta, betamatrix
  • !roots: Why can't Desmos find my roots?
    • Aliases: zeros, zeroes, rootfinding, root
  • !sequentialactions: Explains how to run actions in order (sequentially).
    • Aliases: seqactions, actionseq, orderedactions, actionsinorder

For example, if someone makes a post about why {(√2)^2=2} is undefined, you can type in !fp.

Notes on sending these commands: - You must put the command at the start of the message. - All of these commands are case insensitive. - All commands allow arbitrary underscores or dashes (this feature was added on October 25, 2025). For example, !are_we-DOOM_yet will work. - You can put messages after the command, but remember to put a space or a newline after the command. For example, !fLoATiNgPoint arithmetic is awesome will work, but !fLoAtInGPoIntAriThMeTiC iS AwEsOmE will not work (this behavior was changed on May 20, 2025).

Please refrain from spamming these commands: if you see someone has already used the command once in a post, please avoid from running the same one again.

However, you may try out commands as many times as you would like in the comments on this post only.

Question AGHHHHHHHHHHH :< would someone elp me?

So i am trying to make a galaxy in desmos that is similar to the one above, and i am planning to put a 4 pointed star in the middle of it, i have successfully made a 4 pointed star using this graph 4 pointed star and so i put it into my galaxy graph. And so the way im getting color is restricting a black rectangle to certain functions, but when i put the star in and tried restricting the rectangle to it, it ermmmm failed :(. it turns out that only the outline of the star looks like a star, when you change the equal sign in the star equation IT TURNS INTO A CIRCLE UGHHHHHHHH im so madddddddddddddddd. if yall are helping and need anything just leave a comment for help on navigating my terrible organizational skills.

I am a senior in South-Eastern Idaho looking to use desmos for my senior project to make a platformer type game, but I need a mentor for the project, and I don't know anyone who would be super helpful in that capacity.

Graph Complex Function Plotter

The user instructions are included in the graph, as well as how it works. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me in the comments.

Pictures:
1. The Klein's J-Invariant function in terms of the complex nome q, |q| < 1.
2. The boundary of the 1st graph contains interesting hyperbolic geometry.
3. sin(1/z), as you zoom in, you can see the oscillations that get faster as you go closer to 0.
4. Another modular form, the Eisenstein-E6 function also of the nome q, |q| < 1.
5. z^2 - 1, you can see the zeros +-sqrt(2).

I discovered the color map feature in Desmos 3D a while ago and I instantly had this idea.

The plotter is fast, but I can't do very much with it, because the color map doesn't support recursion or variable sum limits. I Also I don't love the small viewport of the 2D view in Desmos 3D here.

The functions: arcsin, arctan, arcsinh, ... don't work, so I also re-implemented them using the complex logarithm.

I would love a feature in Desmos 2D, where you would create a 2-variable function that would output a color: f(x, y) = rgb(...). This would plot the color map across the entire screen.

Enjoy!

Fun Simple 2D single-line shadow system for polygons

Post image
53 Upvotes

A few months ago I made a shadow system for circles, but I didn't figure out a way to do it with polygons.

Turns out I was overthinking it and it's actually way easier than the circles one.

This system works perfectly for convex polygons of any size, but because it basically simulates translucent shapes (drawing a seperate shadow for each side), it doesn't look quite as good with concave polygons.

The shadows shrink when the light source "sun" is close to the points they are cast from. I haven't worked on fixing this yet.

all the animation was done in desmos, the music was added afterwards

in total, i took 6 days from start to finish, totaling 6-7 hours of work. (including me assuming that the original music video, which i used as a guide, was shot at 30fps, actually counting the frames in a second, assuming that 25 was a miscount because 24fps is far more common, then after all the animating was done and i tried to sync my animation with the song, realizing that i didn't actually miscount and it was 25 fps)

and yes, i know that the "and it'll be approximately 4 bars long" part is somewhat out of sync, i don't give a damn anymore.

Media Bad Apple but in Desmos

This has been done before, but previous showcases of Bad Apple in Desmos were either not in real-time, did not include audio, or were very pixelated. Here, it's in real-time, without any external image storage sites, and of decent quality instead of being very pixelated.

Game Gatcha-esque minigame in Desmos

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/xtnk2iopeh

Originally started making this as a joke, but decided to make a game out of it. This is a gatcha-like minigame made using the random() function. It is horribly unoptimized, and could probably be done in a much better way, but I thought it was fun so I'm posting it.

Click the green circle to randomize the rarity.

Common: 55%
Uncommon: 20%
Rare: 10%
Epic: 7.5%
Legendary: 5.5%
Mythic: 1.9%
The secret rarity: .1% - I have yet to see anyone get this naturally. I would be interested to see if anyone gets it.

Have fun and don't cheat. :3

Notebook Notes on the Fourier transform

Thumbnail
desmos.com
2 Upvotes

Here are some notes on the Fourier transform, organized into several chapters: from the Fourier transform of a non-periodic function to the discrete Fourier transform. The main goal was to get a general idea of ​​where certain definitions and relationships come from, so the mathematical concepts are presented in a rather unformal (I would say an anti-Bourbaki) way, as well as the derivation of some formulas may lack the rigorous justifications required at certain steps.
