Heheh.. i love that. I told someone something like that. He should have known better too because he was a math major. Sometimes they miss simple things like irrational numbers... ------------- |

Bruce Perry: Western's ACM group has that comic on their Facebook page.

I've seen that comic before, but I do not understand it, given that I do not know off the top of my head an approximation to the equation. It is quite possible for an irrational number to have many zeros in succession, which thus would cause a computer to approximate it at 20. (I can prove this, but I think it is obvious.) Interesting, though, that trying to put the equation into kcalc makes it crash. __________________________________________________ |

That doesn't work. The acronym doesn't recurse that way.

Quote: The acronym doesn't recurse that way. Indeed. TINS == Tins Is Not Speedhack notice how Tins isn't an acronym in the expanded form, so it can't recurse. -- |

TINT could recurse that way, however, if we wanted it to.

Sure, but why would we want to? -- |

Given the definition TINS -> TINS is not SpeedHack It recurses infinitely as follows: TINS This cannot be varied. There is just one infinite expansion. TINT, on the other hand, has two definitions: TINT is not TINS It therefore recurses as follows: TINT or TINT As you can see, there are many possible routes of expansion. There is a whole infinite tree of infinite expansions. I vote for TINT to be founded. -- |

Well, if that's so correct then get amarillion to fix the title of the TINS site, because it clearly has "TINS Is Not Speedhack", which is an infinite expansion. Not saying that's a bad thing, it seems to work fine for PHP. I've never seen it written unacronymed (Tins) besides here. To make TINT more unique you should have to put together two games that somehow intertwine during the 72 hour period. Sort of like two competitions running parallel.;D -- |

That would mean you having two computers, and writing on two keyboards at once. [My website][CppReference][Pixelate][Allegators worldwide][Who's online] |

Neither do I, but still I need both hands on one keyboard. Not to mention that I'm not suited for this type of multitasking. [My website][CppReference][Pixelate][Allegators worldwide][Who's online] |

I can play co-op on Halo 3 by myself... dexterous toes. But they aren't quite up to the task of using a keyboard. Also, I don't play well that way.

Quote: I'm joining this year's competition myself, but I can't write code. So I'm hoping that someone pops up to do the code for me, which means getting the graphics and music and just needing to focus on the code. This may be tough to pull off, most coders want to work on their own ideas. Quote: Oh, and this time too, if I get the chance, I'll try to help other people lacking music and graphics. That plan will probably have a higher chance of success. -- |

Who is FalseMasterJ? I am curious, because my sister goes to a Huntington University, though it isn't in West Virginia... __________________________________________________ |

Is that so? I was hoping for better luck... I don't really mind, though, as long as you guys have good ideas. ---------- |
