Not a problem, that was a pretty cool problem, even though I didn't know how to finish solving it :)

Hi I have no idea what I'm doing a > b cos(theta) =(b^2 + d^2 - a^2)/2bd (by cosine rule) B = (1+(b^2 + d^2 - a^2)/2bd)/d^2 B = 1/d^2 + (b^2+d^2-a^2)/2bd^3 B = 1/2bd + 1/d^2 + (b^2-a^2)/2bd^3 Not sure what to do from here, but I'll try. We can see that when we increase d, the first two components are lowering the brightness, but the last one will raise the brightness (since a > b, b^2-a^2 is negative). Where B's peak will be will depend on the relationship between a and b. We can differentiate this with respect to d and look for roots. This will let us find local maxima and local minima. B = (1/2b)*d^(-1) + d^(-2) + ((b^2-a^2)/2b)*d^(-3) dB/dd = -(1/2b)/d^2 - 2/d^3 - 3(b^2-a^2)/2bd^4 let dB/dd = 0 3(b^2-a^2)/2bd^4 = - (1/2b)/d^2 - 2/d^3 -3(b^2-a^2)/2b = d^2/2b + 2d -3(b^2-a^2) = d^2 + 4db Now we have to complete the square d^2 + 4db + 4b^2 = b^2 + 3a^2 = (d+2b)^2 d + 2b = +/-sqrt(b^2 + 3a^2) d = +/-sqrt(b^2 + 3a^2) - 2b are the roots of dB/dd, and thus the maxima/minima of B, where we should look to maximize the quantity B.

Seems pretty easy, unless I'm missing something? Justin always wants to take the bus If Tom can assume Justin is a perfect self-interested logician, Tom wants to use the phone

Using Chrome 19, Windows 7. Can't view the player, a blank piece of page is displayed instead (but I can follow the link and it views OK on the site itself). Installing the certificate didn't help. The network tab of Chrome's console shows that a GET was made to video.php and 0 bytes were returned. I live in Australia.

Not strictly rejected, but how about the old Chrono Trigger glitched any% run that destroyed the fabric of time and space?

Another solution to the problem would be to implement 'TypingInput' or whatever it was called, where you hit once every key you want to be inputted this frame then advance the frame.

Is there any way to play the game with tiles?
No tiles exist for Brogue. They aren't really needed - the game's colourful enough that you can tell what everything is at a glance (maybe with the exception of colour-blind people, but you can mouse over things when uncertain)

Brogue is a roguelike that aims to be a modern successor to rogue - with more interesting level generation, almost every monster having a unique gimmick and your chances of success based around what equipment you use scrolls of enchanting on. It is open source and compiled for all platforms: https://sites.google.com/site/broguegame/ More importantly, barring bugs, Brogue is deterministic (it has two rngs, substantial and cosmetic, and all unimportant details are RNG'd using the cosmetic one) and has support for replays and choosing a seed to play. This means that one could scum for a seed that 1) has equipment you want to win faster with 2) has a quick route to the bottom and top of the dungeon 3) both and then replay it with full knowledge of every monster/item to maximize their speed. Luck manipulation would be done by consuming a smaller/larger amount of substantal_rng numbers. In addition, I can almost get Brogue to run in Hourglass under Windows 7 - except it refuses to accept keyboard input. Try it yourself and see if you can do better. I was planning on making a list of all the ways the substantial RNG could be altered, but it got too long, so I'll just list a few surprising ones: -Randomized radius light sources, like that of the lich, consume substantial RNGs since they have a minor gameplay effect -Most castable spells have a coinflip or 3/4 odds to be picked when the monster sees a use for them (like discord, slinging webs, slowing, hasting, spark, firebolt... but protection is casted deterministically!) -Determining the path tunneling takes -Some percent based effects, like quietus with 100%+ probability, consume RNG anyway (while calling rand_range with a minimum and a maximum the same number will not consume anything) -If you become nauseous and walk into a wall, you are consuming RNGs for your non-moves but will lose a turn if you vomit

Lots of neat touches in there, like how you dealt with the bosses. I can't figure out what the goal is, though. Is the goal to maximize destruction %? If so, shouldn't you be using more twiddles, etc?

Mandelbrot set? Approximation of penrose tiling? Stills from famous game of life patterns, such as the glider gun http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Gospers_glider_gun.gif ? Pentagrams? SMB1 1-1? Hyperbolic geometry tilings? Hyperbolically (or otherwise) distorted checkerboard pattern? Dragon curve fractal? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_curve Or its boundary?

It's been a while since I read about it, but what you want is a bayesian voting system: http://www.andymoore.ca/2010/02/bayesian-ratings-your-salvation-for-user-generated-content/

You can use one of the many eyedropper tools out there, such as this one: http://lifehacker.com/5060542/instant-eyedropper-grabs-any-color-from-your-screen To find out what color something on your screen is.
Perhaps that should be mentioned on the registration page?

I think the reason why hourglass won't work on it is because it has native OS GUI elements (drop down menus etc) that it doesn't support yet. Maybe try rerecording a dos pinball game?
