btw, whats TI-83?
*novice programer*
Apparently, it's the new way of teaching math to kids these days. Ah, back in ye olden days, when we had such sophisticated tools as our heads, and pen n paper. No programmable calculators for me. If something comes up that a simple calculator or pen and paper can't fix, Matlab is my next stop.
I agree. Its crazy my TI 84 hooks into my computer and downloads software. What ever happened to 1+1+1+=4.....oh thats probibly why I need a calculator.

hmm, the formula seem to be a little different to what i was expecting.
you have a b^2, hmmmm.
these are my formula i work out quite some time ago
Total Naq need for up number x: 15000(3x+1)
Total Naq need for up giving you x untrained per day: 5000(x-1)
Total Naq needed to get UP to number x: 7500x(x+1)
Total Naq needed to get up giving you x untrained per day: 833.33(x^2+x-2)
i suppose you are using the first one, but really, shouldnt you be using the last 1?

I'll just post the source again, since I recently updated it a bit (well, mostly so that the source is cleaner and easier to edit).
Code: Select all
<?php
$a = $HTTP_GET_VARS['a'];
$b = $HTTP_GET_VARS['b'];
$c = $HTTP_GET_VARS['c'];
$p = $HTTP_GET_VARS['p'];

My UP formula is
-((a-b)/3)((15000((b-1)/3)+15000((a+2)/3))/2)
Bryan's last formula is good, except that it can only calculate the cost if you're starting at 0 (or 1) UP. Mine can start from wherever and end wherever.
All the formulas are in the code. They can be seen as whatever is after a $ans = thingy.

{1,15000}
{ans(1)+3,ans(2)+15000}
U.P. For ti-83, though that shows all the levels, not specific amounts.
{0,6000}
{ans(1)+1,ans(2)*2}
Spy levels, none reps. For reps, just divide by 10 and times by 9.
Now, i don't know how to make these programs on my Ti-83, but if you guys know how, do it up.

Don't divide by 10 and then multiply by 9, just multiply by 0.9.
Anyways, the TI-83 (will work with TI-84 too, duh
) program should be (type this in the program editor, of course, the ":" does not need to be typed, it just means that it is a new line. If you have a TI-whatever, you ought to know what I'm referring to):
Code: Select all
:Disp "A=CURRENT UP"
:Disp "B=DESIRED UP"
:Prompt A,B
:Disp (-1((A-B)/3)((15000((B-1)/3)+15000((B+2)/3))/2))

ti programming is a lot of fun, im currently attempting to build a basic intergration by parts program. it will be interesting to see if i can.
thats not my problem agapooka, my formula is easy to get from a - b, just subtract a. the problem is that your formula looks completely different, not even the constants or basic fom is the same.

Everything that I do in the matter of arithmetics is unorthodox.
I make my own theorems for my classes, and the teachers don't understand them, they just see that they work...
Oh well.

Back to the divide by 10 times by 9. I find myself doing things like that quite often. I can never go simple, complex. Grrr oh well, and i don't know how to create calculator programs. If i did know, I probably would have a lot of the games formulas programmed.

Thanks guys, this was really helpful. Does anyone have any more formulas for actions? Strike action, def, covert, got it for MS, thanks to vinny.

I could always make some. It shouldn't be too hard, actually.

That would be great Agapooka.

I've heard those formulas were on The Deity's guide, but I cant find it anymore, can someone mail me it or pm please?

This isn't about Deity; besides, what formulas are you even referring to?

The formulas for basicly everything game related were in it
. Thanks for the source Pooks - seems pretty basic once you know the numbers...
It wouldn't be too hard for the game administration to impliment into the game either...
Little popup window on the side with a php calc based on what you have ingame...
