i just tried prime numbers under 1000, found 3868 matrices with a -1316 determinant and 6366 with a 12 as its determinant. should i have found two that multiply together to get N by now?

and it doesnt work up to 2000, i get the feeling going higher is useless, and i probably have a bug in my program somewhere i can't find. i feel kind of bad making java loop a hundred million times.

that's eerie. i found 1316 matrices which are all prime and have the determinant -1316. working on the other part though. (between the primes 2-499 that is)

202 bytes?? what else are you doing that's costing you 118 bytes? i mean i guess enemy x/y positions, your x/y positions, and maybe a level name. that's all i can think of, which shouldn't take 202 bytes.

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :o :crazy: O.O  :o :crazy: O.O
400 screens? How can you store that much data oncalc?
Aside from that, this looks sweet! I think your title screen is really neat.

12 * 7 * 400 = 33600 bytes or about 32KB
12 tiles wide, 7 high, 400 screens. this isn't counting the 16 bytes for each tile or taking compression into count.

now updated to 1.1 !!!! :D :w00t:
50% credit goes to josjuice, who made 1.2!

:D

triple post, no? ashbad, you've been here awhile and have nearly 1500 posts. you may need a refresher on the rules though. you can't post 3 times in a row within 20 minutes. there is an edit button for this purpose.

i can see it now.
winner in brainfuck: qwerty.55 for.... multiplying 3 digit numbers... yeah that's not impressive by any other language's standards...

i don't really think a week is long enough to code something substantial in x86 assembly, unless you're very proficient in it.
and brainfuck has to be a joke, right?

i've never done decimals in any other base but 10. alright, i get how that part is in base 10. so if it's in base 10 then does that answer the question or not? because it isn't in base phi^2, so it can't. does my answer work?

wait, nevermind, i see how you would do it. but i'm way too lazy to do all that math out on paper.

but the question asks to convert 10 into base phi^2... so if 11.52786 is in base 10 how does this answer the question? i believe 10 in base phi^2 is 110.52786... i messed up on the decimals the first time but try convert 11.52786 from phi^2 to base 10 and you will not get 10.

oh. you forgot the ones place.

edit: well, the "phi^2 ^ 0" place. aka the ones place.

Code: [Select]
(sqrt(5)+3)/2=phi^2→D
D is equal to phi, not phi squared.

wait: i'm wrong. my bad. i'll keep looking.

i'm pretty sure it's 110.11, a terminating decimal.

i'll have a new question soon.. just gotta think of one

yeah... i made that program for a friend of mine. it's more convenient to type in 93 and 96 as your quarter percentages than 5 * (92.5 - (93 * .4 + 96 * .4)) to figure out what % you need to get on your midterm to get an A. just posting it here if anyone else wanted to try it out.

phi^2 == 2.61803399
10 in binary is 1010 so it should be close to that. anyway.
phi^2 ^ -5 = 0.00813061876
phi^2 ^ -4 = 0.0212862363
phi^2 ^ -3 = 0.05572809
phi^2 ^ -2 = 0.145898034
phi^2 ^ -1 = 0.381966011
phi^2 ^ 0 = 1
phi^2 ^ 1 = 2.61803399
phi^2 ^ 2 = 6.85410197
phi^2 ^ 3 = 17.9442719
10 / 6.85410197 = 1.45898034, mod = 3.14589803 (that is eerily similar to pi..) 1
3.14589803 / 2.61803399 = 1.20162612, mod = .527864045                             1
.52786404 / 1 = .52786404, mod = .527864045                                               0.
.527864045 / .381966011 = 1.38196601, mod = .145898034                             1
.145898034 / .145898034 = 1, mod = 0                                                          1
0 /.... ok etc.
110.11 is 10 in the phi^2 base. there really isn't a 5th digit after the decimal place, it's assumed to be a 0.

gosh all those decimals look really bad and then i come up with the answer 110.11 which looks harmless..
