So what is the math behind a punnet square?

So I was playing around with some thing today, and was attempting to make a punnet square calc. but for the life of me, I can't figure out the math behind it, i only took up to high school trig tho lol.

I can do them on paper easily, but when it comes to make the computer understand what I want, I'm at a lost.

I have made the genetic wizard on www.worldofballpythons.com/wizard/ and to play with the genetics that way wasnt an easy task. (not for me anyways)

The first version took me about 30 hours to make...

Now the second version is only and I havent got all the genetic rules incorporated yet, because of some genes that acts crazy when mixing.

yea, also it doesn't add %'s which really bothers me lol, other than that its great. I just wanted to expand on it, add rules, add %'s, have it so you can type in the morphs, not have to scroll through them. Your wizard is by far the most recommended tho, I'd personally like a different layout, so thats what i'm doing.

well I came up with a method today, going to attempt to make it work, We shall see.

Edit guess yours adds %'s now, you've made an update since I last played with it

I would assume its just simple Matrix calculations. What language are you writing this in? Search for a Matrix library for your language of choice and read the docs for it.

It has had % in every version, this time its just better at adding the results together...

Which design would you like to see ?

I don't know anything about programming, i do believe this guy got it right. See what you think.

http://geneticcalculator.traxxtec.de/en/rechner.aspx

Realize there are a number of different snakes, just remember to click on Ball Python or you will go to corn snakes.

Not a complete list, but better than anything I've seen so far. Seems to be accurate too.

that was the part that really bothered me, but you fixed it. atleast for alot of them

I like typing in things better than scrolling through a list
like this one....http://www.geneticswizard.com/ its just a general calc tho, not made for snakes

you notice yours crashes for some things, like breed a banana + something x banana + something or a zebra + something x zebra +something

also zebra pastel says its a codom but when i breed zebra x zebra it spits out 25% normal/50% zebra/25%normal?

I already notice the german calc is missing "banana" is it outdated?

soo - if you can do them on paper, why not stick to it?

i either: use my head, or pen and paper - can't be assed with those genetics sites - takes too long
by the time you've found the site/typed in the info/etc - you could probably already have the answer on paper
also - you'd have a written record of your findings, so shouldn't need to re-visit the site?

once you go past 3 genes, its faster to use the calc, im not drawing 64 boxes lol. personally, I can still do 3 in my head pretty fast, but not alot of people can. its nice to have a full layout calculated for you, nice a neat, no boxes to add up and all that.

When you start doing super pastel/spider/pin/het hypo to a pastel/pin/hypo/black pastel, your looking at alot of time. lol

None of the other calculation tools you have shown works better than World of Ball Pythons Genetic Wizard...

geneticcalculator: small list of animals, and it doesnt work correct with dominant genes, and iam pretty sure that it would run into the same problems as ours with the crazy genes.

geneticswizard: same problem as our with the crazy genes, and its has no list of animals, so I think its pretty hard to use.

So we cant conclude that right there is no perfect calculator online for Balls ;)
