yea i know that.. its just a hypothetical starting point to test the formula.
Seems to me the formula is correct, and the calculator is correct too... so, no problem?

Then what is the problem, exactly? You're losing me

problem is.. either pookie's calc is off, or that formula is off.. or i lost all mathematical ability in a relatively short time span lol.

hmm well i dont think pookie's calc is off casue when i do the entries it works perfectly for what im doing

((TUP/3)*(TUP/3)+TUP/3)*7500-((CUP/3)*(CUP/3)+CUP/3)*7500-5000
TUP = 20,000
CUP = 1
(TUP/3) = (6,666.67 * 6,666.67 + 6,666.67) * 7,500 = 333,383,666,700
(CUP/3) = (.33 * .33 + .33) * 7500 = 4950 - 5000 = -50
333,383,666,700 - -50 = 333,383,666,750.
if my math is wrong please correct me.. but I don't see any problems with it.
As I said, I don't see anything wrong with either your math or the formula itself, and I'm pretty sure the calculator works just fine. If you don't like the end result, that's because, given a CUP of 1, you can't have a TUP of 20000... since you can only upgrade your UP by a multiple of 3. Try the formula for a TUP of 20002 (6667 upgrades) instead.
Hope this made sense.

aye.. well theres only one problem with that.. making the TUP go up makes the cost go up, and this formula is already spitting out numbers that are high. *shrug*

Here's my math:
For those of you who can read PHP:
In a human, mathematical form:
For those of you who can read PHP:
Code: Select all
//Let $a be the initial UP value
//Let $b be the target UP value
floor(sqrt(((3*$b)/2500)+pow($a,2)+$a))In a human, mathematical form:
Code: Select all
//Let A be the initial UP value
//Let B be the target UP value
