I hope I'm not in an argument with a mathematician or a physicist... The only mathematical thing in my line would be evolutionary calculation, and even then I'm not having my hopes up - The teachers over at Robot vision and pattern recognition lab openly say that it's "for those who are unable to derive properly."

Anyway all of the above is once again strictly on-topic

Quote from AndRand :

You do.

I forgot ^2 in this formula, it should be iterated k*x^2-1 with k between 1,5 and 2 and satrting x between 0 and 1.
So if you remember last result, the next one would be "random" when algorithm is unknown. Frankly random algorithms act the same with slighly more complicated formula but it acts the same.

If you want TRULY random generator: take any measurement ie. voltage (best one with amplifier multiplying false measurement) and make iterated formula to get numbers beyond precision of measurement. What you get would be pure random number.

a) I'm still not sure weather anyone understands what the **** you are on about.

b) You already said it yourself. An algorithm. Algorithms are deterministic and you need nondeterminism to create randomness.

I often take my laptop to my GF's house as she goes to bed really early for example

This can give you ideas...

This would be much more entertaining if you could see who voted what...

Long history is long.

How do you spot these things? Have you no life?

Nice to see some action in lfs anyway

Travis forgot to compile the exe again... that's why

Before I even try and do that I have a question: How is it even supposed to work? I get nothing but 'Outsim enabled' in LFS and 'Outsim timed out' in the app itself? Problem at my end (firewall blocking perhaps?) or should something else too be updated?

Quote from phoenixIlooka :

I tried to change 4 to 5, but the tool just does the same as before, like if I didn't change anything?!

Well, if you modify the source code, running the application won't do any good untill you compile it again...

The py-file is the source code. You can run it by installing the python interpreter. This code will not work with anything above version 2.5. Additionally you need the pygame-module (which is the reason newer python versions won't work).

The setup.py file is for a module called cx_freeze which is used to compile the exe out of the python file.

Quote from phoenixIlooka :

can I do anything about this? I'd really like to use the tool furthermore..

I don't suppose you tried to just change the '4' into '5' I would have tried but cba to install older python versions...


E: Dammit you irritating scotsman

Open wheel racing league for one.

LFSCART starts in a few weeks time for the 2011 season. Not necessarily the best place to start.

This is some new series we've never heard of?

Quote from butser :

good program
but it would be better to add a number of laps at the top
and by the way, does not show the gap after the first lap

Actually, the smartest thing now would be to add the lap count to the gapslot of P1...

The program does not work out the gaps by magic. Therefore everyone must complete a lap before the gaps are displayed. Currently the overlay pops up when the leader crosses the s/f line - therefore no one else besides the leader has completed a lap and you don't see gaps (because they have not been calculated yet).

Quote from Scawen :

collisions with objects...

Any chance to be able to completely remove objects (all of them)? Then you could remove an object that has just been run over instead of it respawning in it's original place.

Quote from Mustafur :

You mean like how you commented in that NASCAR topic?

Yes except just the opposite. You don't need to be a NASCAR fan to have common sense and an idea of how physics works. Interestingly though facts seem to be completely irrelevant in any way if you happen to be one..

If you make a screenplay out of something you have no interest in and have no knowledge in, does that not make you a bit of a twat? Why not something you have knowledge in?

you have to use the clutch for upshift/downshift/getting out of the pits

Just for getting out of the pits actually.. Gear changes are done without.

Quote from TFalke55 :

Eating that late makes fat, some journals say.

:doh:

I thought all NDR members had a degree in nutrition (deko has at least MSc in cheese, ellis is doing A-levels in Dinnertown high). Your ignorance amazes me.

Eating late does not make you fat. It's a common miss belief caused by people eating unhealthy when it is late.
