when I was searching for a N900 calculator that suits my purposes I didn't found one. Either they were too simple and didn't provide any of the basic functions or they were so overloaded with functions they were inefficient for daily use (buttons too small / only accessible via shift).
So I'd program my own calculator with Python/QT4 and I'm really happy with it.
The features:
- All basic scientific functions (sqrt, pow, trigonometrics, log)
- Direct formula edit/input in the textedit box
- Everything accessible in one window
The code is quite simple so if you like any other feature, just implement it ;-)
If you like calcIng, don't hesitate to write a .deb installer and distribute it for I have no time right now to do that. Just send me a message for I would be interested to help where I can.
How to get it to run:
Install python / pyqt4
execute the code ;-)
It will run on windows/linux/mac-machines also, since it needs only python and pyqt4 installed.
FYI: What does "calcIng" mean?
I'm an mechanical engineering student, hence the name calc"Ing", from the german word "Ingenieur" which means engineer... ;-)
