| 00:53 | <@Derakon> | So...not only can I get my player sprite wedged into a block such that the player gets stuck; doing so also gets the *program* wedged such that I must kill -9 it. |
| 00:56 | <@Mahal> | Oh dear. |
| 00:56 | <@Vornicus> | sweet! |
| 00:58 | <@Derakon> | Oh, duh. |
| 00:58 | <@Derakon> | Hey, engine! I want to back out of this polygon along the vector <0, 0>. How far do I have to go? |
| 01:04 | <@Vornicus> | Heh |
| 01:04 | <@ToxicFrog> | Pfft |
| 01:04 | <@ToxicFrog> | <Program> Hang on, let me think about this for a moment |

| 01:06 | | * ToxicFrog ;.; at La-Mulana |
| 01:06 | <@ToxicFrog> | I think I'm going to need to write a program to solve this puzzle. |
| 01:06 | <@Derakon> | Heh. |
| 01:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | For some reason I can't twist my brain into the right shape for it. |
| 01:07 | <@Derakon> | Shouldn't the YouTube videos show you what to do? |
| 01:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | Wtfspoilers. |
| 01:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | No thanks. |
| 01:07 | <@Derakon> | Fair enough. |
| 01:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | And I know what I need to do, it's the precise sequence of actions. |
| 01:07 | <@Derakon> | Ahh. |
| 01:07 | <@ToxicFrog> | Basically, I have three widgets, each one of which can be in one of three states. |
| 01:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | Frobbing a widget changes all three widgets based on their current symbols and which one you frobbed (the one you frobbed follows one pattern, the one to the left another, and the one to the right a third) |
| 01:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | I have all the patterns figured out. |
| 01:09 | <@ToxicFrog> | I need to get all three widgets into a certain state. |
| 01:19 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aughdjshsdkjfhgsdjfhsdf |
| 01:22 | <@Vornicus> | poor TF. |
| 01:22 | <@Vornicus> | Why do you play this game? You know what the reward will be. |
| 01:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | No, I don't. |
| 01:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | That was the uber-secret easter egg dungeon. |
| 01:41 | <@ToxicFrog> | Which I have no intention of actually playing. |
| 01:41 | <@Derakon> | Heh. |
| 01:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | Ahahahaha!@ |
| 01:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | Helmet got! |
| 01:49 | <@ToxicFrog> | (I decided to take a break from the widget puzzle) |
| 01:58 | <@Derakon> | Interesting. Megabyte has three rows of teeth. |
| 01:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | ...oh, that's just not right! |
| 01:58 | <@ToxicFrog> | The warp point for the water temple is underwater! |
| 01:59 | <@Derakon> | ...and? |
| 01:59 | <@ToxicFrog> | Water, to your character, is equivalent to a horribly corrosive acid. |
| 01:59 | <@Derakon> | ...ooookay. |
| 01:59 | <@ToxicFrog> | On the plus side, he can jump off it ninja-style. |
| 02:00 | <@ToxicFrog> | (you can get an item that lets you swim without taking obscene amounts of damage, but I don't have it yet) |

| 23:07 | < Takyoji> | How would I be able to make an equation to form data like this? http://www.deltalabs.net/othercrap/graph.gif |
| 23:07 | < Takyoji> | I mean, for the result to turn out like that |
| 23:08 | <@Vornicus> | Well, let's see. |
| 23:08 | < Takyoji> | It's basically for animative purposes |
| 23:08 | <@Vornicus> | You can use the circle x^2 + y^2 = r^2 |
| 23:09 | < Takyoji> | But how would I be able to use that in a 'while' statement? |
| 23:09 | <@Vornicus> | plenty of ways. |
| 23:09 | < Takyoji> | Such as: WHILE (y < b) { (the function } |
| 23:10 | <@Vornicus> | you can use the regular: y = sqrt(r^2 - x^2) |
| 23:11 | < Takyoji> | On way I thought of increasing the value by an exponent, and slowly decreasing the rate.. |
| 23:11 | <@Vornicus> | or the parametric: y = sin(t), x = cos(t) |
| 23:11 | < Takyoji> | where r equals? |
| 23:11 | <@Vornicus> | the radius of the circle? |
| 23:11 | < Takyoji> | oh |
| 23:11 | < Takyoji> | But this may be a value in which is oval-ish |
| 23:12 | < Takyoji> | For example, a = 0, b = 100, and s = 5 |
| 23:12 | < Takyoji> | to the graph |
| 23:12 | <@Vornicus> | not a problem, multiple x or y by the appropriate ratios |
| 23:12 | < Takyoji> | To put this in perspective: x is time, and y is opacity of an element I'm changing |
| 23:14 | < Takyoji> | How would the ratio be calculated from the graph's variables? |
| 23:14 | < Takyoji> | I'm sorry, I'm in 9th grade math in Minnesota, so I'm not VERY well educated... |

| 23:26 | < Takyoji> | Stupid question: What 'appropriate ratios'? |
| 23:27 | | You're now known as TheWatcher[T-2] |
| 23:29 | < Takyoji> | Do you mean 's' to 'b'? |
| 23:30 | | You're now known as TheWatcher[zZzz] |
| 23:35 | < Takyoji> | I just need to solve for 'y' using 'x' |
| 23:37 | < Takyoji> | Then when, 'x' = 's'; 'y' needs to equal 'b' |
| 23:38 | < Takyoji> | I just don't know how to manipulate the equation y = sqrt(r^2 - x^2) to my needs |
| 23:56 | <@gnolam> | Off the top of my head? |
| 23:56 | <@gnolam> | (b-a)*sqrt(s^2-(x-s)^2)+a |
| 23:56 | <@gnolam> | (Contents of sqrt left unsimplified as an exercise to the reader) |
| 23:57 | <@gnolam> | Err. |
| 23:57 | <@gnolam> | (b-a)*sqrt(s^2-(x-s)^2)/b+a |
| 23:57 | <@gnolam> | Still hung over. ^-^ |
| 23:59 | <@gnolam> | And it's probably horribly overcomplicated anyway. But should work. |
