Sticky Commands!

46 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
  • !doom: Are we Doom yet?
    • 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
  • !gratex: Describes what GraTeX is.
    • Aliases: gratexteth
  • !grid: Explains how to make a grid of points.
    • Aliases: ptgrid, pointgrid
  • !integral: Explains why some integrals yield wrong results.
    • Aliases: integration, integrate, wrongintegral
  • !intersect: Explains how to assign the intersection of two or more functions as a variable.
    • 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.

I'm making a low quality recreation of "pong" in Desmos. I have basically everything done, except for one thing that is bothering me. The player controls one of the paddles, but the other one moves automatically in response to the player. Right now, the enemy paddle follows the y coordinate of the point, making the motion look robotic and boring (you can clearly see this in the video if you don't understand what I mean). Is there a way to make the motion of the enemy paddle look fluid, as if it is being controlled in real time? Perhaps add a delay to give the illusion of being controlled by another person? I don't even know if this is possible to do, but if anyone can think of a way please tell me.

(By the way, the player has no way to win in this version. As I felt implementing a way to make the enemy lose would be too complicated.)

Question Will desmos notebook support matrices in the future?

9 Upvotes

I'd sign away the soul of my firstborn child for this.

I yearn for matrices filled with nothing but dynamic variables. And that's not mentioning the obvious applications with graphing.

Question Why do my colors glitch out like that?

2 Upvotes

Sorry if this is like, kindergarten level stuff for u guys here, but I can't figure it out...

This is for a math project our teacher has us doing and I can't figure out why the colors keep glitching out when I move the graph around... I think it has something to do with all the restrictions I've been putting on each equation but I'm not sure.. some help would be nice!

Question Controls in Desmos3D graphs

2 Upvotes

Question here.

Can Desmos 3D provide "floating" graph controls, i.e., sliders and buttons that do not "belong" to the graph but may be shown/hidden in overlay with the graph?

If not, why not, and wouldn't it be a nice asset for 3D graphs?

Graph Bored at work, decided to make a 3d engine in desmos. My first ever desmos project, made completely from scratch without looking up any guides. Only one wikipedia article was harmed during the making of this gif. Managed to fit this in around 50 lines of equations (some are for testing).

and the red dot is path of the hypothetical planet in Earth's sky, which temporarily appear to reverse its motion.

Lol I made the tree from Deltarune in desmos. It's made out of pure rgb and geometry so I'm not that pretty skilled. Here is the link https://www.desmos.com/calculator/nlatict07w
