So, I've been doing a ton of thinking about dividing by zero (been bored, ok?). It's always undefined, or just saying "you can't do that". And yet, dividing is seeing how many times one number goes into another number.

With that in mind, let's look at this:

1/0

This is asking how many times 0 goes into 1. Wouldn't it technically go in an infinite amount of times? As 0 has no actual value, it can go an infinite amount of times into any number. Or, we can just have the answer be zero.

I guess my actual question is, wouldn't the answer to any /0 problem just be infinity or 0?

As said earlier, it makes sense that it depends on the field.

And boing: it could -technically- be any number between 0 and infinity. Though in division, you take the largest possible number of times the denominator can go into the numerator. So, it would be infinity.

Not sure how well a physical example works for this... why would you have to divide by 0 to cut a pie? xD But more seriously, you can't really have a physical representation of infinity (unless you count the sideways 8). This is pretty much theoretical. Hell, infinity is just a word we use for all numbers that are larger than 0. It's more a set of numbers. For lack of the infinity symbol, I'm going to put oo.

oo is an element of the set of real numbers (forget the algebraic way of writing that :-P)
oo>0

Because, in division, we take the largest number, if we divide by zero, zero can go in any number of times. once, twice, 57 times, 5k times, 1,345 times, etc. It can go in 983423407*10^100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times. In all of those examples, zero can go into the number, it just doesn't change it, as zero is nothing. There is no cap on numbers, so following that zero can go into a number without changing it as many times as you want, there is no cap on that, either. The answer would have to be infinity.

Or, if you're using a computer, it would be undefined, as calculators and such like that try to get an exact, numerical answer. I think is would make sense if calculators started listing problems with division by zero as infinity. My calculator right here (iPod Touch) has the infinity symbol (forgot how I got it the one time I did), but when given a division by zero, it just has error. It would be beneficial, in my opinion, to have calculators list that answer as the infinity symbol.... but then again, I'm not sure how many people would have to do division by zero hehe

Well, infinity is endless numbers. I guess my explanation was kinda fucked... just tough to explain. I probably explained it differently how I view it.... ugh. I can only think of explaining infinity as an infinite amount of numbers, and that's basically using a word to define itself.....

Completely disregard my last post. I was tired and apparantly really confused myself . Reading it over, it makes almost no sense.

My only point for my answer is that when you divide, you take the largest amount possible. For example, 8/2. You can't say 2, because 2*2=4, but that's still less than 8. One more 2, and you have 4, which is the answer. Going by that logic, 0 has to go into any number an infinite amount of times, as we can keep adding it without it being larger than x.

This is tough to explain... hope this one made more sense and what I actually mean!

I always thought that whole dividing-by-zero thing was weird myself.

If you have 1 slice of pizza in your hand, and you want to divide it by 1, then basically it is saying you want to divide it by itself, which you can't do, so it makes sense that you are left with the 1 slice that is still in your hands.

Now, if you have 8 slices, and you want to divide by 1, you can't divide 8 slices into 1, unless you are giving somebody the whole pie, so it makes sense to me that you are still left with 8 slices. If you give somebody that whole pie, you are giving them 1 WHOLE pie, which consists of 8 slices, so that whole dividing-by-one thing makes sense.

Then they say that anything divided by zero, whether it be 8, 5, or 9, is 0.

I have that same slice of pizza in my hand, and now I want to divide it by 0. I don't LOSE that slice. I still have it.

According to mathematics, I would lose that slice, which is impossible. If I am dividing it by 0, I am not dividing it by anything, so I still HAVE that 1 slice.


My earlier point still stands that a physical example just does not work for this. Though thinking along the lines of a (pizza) pie may help you understand division in general, it isn't a valid model for this. You can't divide a pizza by zero, because you can't end up with no slices or an infinite amount of slices.

sounds fun. Never really done too many tabletop games (I kinda sorta made on outta paper when I was little, though hehe). I'd like to hear more, as it all sounds like it would be a cool thing to play, with the drafts, etc.

So, yes, tell us MOAR! lol

Poe's Law indeed.

I was a little worried at first that this may ACTUALLY be real. But there is one thing that makes it clear to me that this is fake:

Near the bottom, they "condemn" MGS4. One screenshot has the item viewer looking at the back of an iPod. If you hold your mouse over it, you get the alt text:

"Snake carries an apple. It has a bite taken out of it. Trophy from the Fall?"

That tears it, this can't be real hahaha

That sounds like a much more efficient way of doing it, nightkev. But only in some cases. It would be very difficult to mass vote using only forum posts. Then again, I guess we could find a way.

Also, I would love to make a video of the final results. Either that, or we could select people who could make a video introducing the results for each category. Thoughts on that?

I was recently poking around the Fraxy site (translated with yahoo babelfish), and found an archive of all the Try file commands and their functions. While it's a computer translation and, therefore, a little tough to understand, I thought it would be a great reference for anyone getting into Try files.

http://66.196.80.202/babelfish/translate_url_content?.intl=us&lp=ja_en&trurl=http%3a%2f%2fmokeron.hp.infoseek.co.jp%2fzg%2ffraxy%2freference%2ffraxy_try_ref_index.html

let's hope that works properly... If not, just open up Yahoo Babelfish and enter http://mokeron.hp.infoseek.co.jp/zg/hage.html as the site and look around. It's japanese-english, and I hope it helps!

Sadly, it doesn't look like it. I hope we do it for 2009 since 2008 is all gone

Definately not the board.

That's board2 code. The original Acmlm boards have been around longer...


maybe something like... almost 8 years?! lol

I really have no idea, but the acmlm boards is my best guess.

Some very good ideas there, Zax. I especially like the "reticle" in the editor to show the actual playing area. Now for some ideas I've had recently...

1) Joints that move AND turn- To save parts on large, opening shells and such, there could be a part that is a combination of the move and turn joints. The turn angle, forward/backward movement, speed, and other such can be done with several preset move actions, and be further customized by Extra Parameters.

2) "Shot Turn" player weapon- if you've played the game Rayhound (by the people who made Warning Forever), you'll know what I'm talking about. When the weapon is used, a circle is emitted from the player. Any enemy shots in the circle are then changed in favor of the player and begin to orbit the player ship as long as the mouse is held down, and are sent flying straight when the mouse is released. This would just bend lasers and sonic waves.

3) More aesthetics- more plates and such would be a happy addition, as there is still only so much you can do with the current parts. A nice addition could be "hilts", which look good as sword hilts, but could also double as a cockpit or somesuch.

4) Fighter Core Alts- The fighter cores, same behavior and such, but the booster flame is not shown.

5) Effector ideas:
"Hider"- Hides enemy fire within a certain radius.
"Booster"- Shows the booster flame, but the size is varied and no real thrust is given.

6) Bullet Pull- A gravity well that affects the shots of the enemy and the player (chosen which by attack actions).

That's what I've got for now, I may be back later hehe
