Some extra math functions

[Mr. crash]

HOW DO PEOPLE COME UP WITH THESE KINDS OF SCRIPTS! Compared to this script i have the skills of a cheesecake..............a dead cheesecake. I probably just don't know scripting language that well

yea I don't know really much about scripting too.... I know some normal things like some variables and spawning...

[Mystery]

When i started thyme all i could do was copy and paste code into the console from there i worked my ways up, every time i saw a scene i would work out how the codes work (With the exception of kilinch's scenes )

Same but I know a programming language so thyme became easy to learn. Kilinch's scenes aren't that complicated. All he does it but things down to there basics and then codes it from there.

The level of math Kilinch uses is beyond what I've learnt the code structure i can understand perfectly.

It was easy to learn and I've never programmed before ;P

Learning time isn't hard. In fact, it is really easy.
Just follow a thyme tutorial off the forums or if you really want so more help, I *might* make a video tutorial for everyone.

Could you not use ^-2 instead of an if command?

Thats what I use.

[Rideg]

yes I always use that do keep the code length down and cuz Ima lazy

About the logarithm-coding with thyme: I used

Code: Select all

scene.my.intln2of:=(a,b)=>{
{a>2}?{c=a/2.0;d=b+1;scene.my.intln2of(c,d)}:{[a,b]}}

which returns [a/2^highestpowerof2,highestpowerof2]
then i do

Code: Select all

scene.my.logar:=(k)=>{m=scene.my.intln2of(k,0); q=m(0);r=m(1);
t=q^0.125;
x=t-1;
xx=x*x;
xxx=xx*x;­
xxxxxx=xxx*xxx;
z=x-xx/2+xxx/3-xxx*x/4+xxx*xx/5-x­xxxxx/6+xxxxxx*x/7-xxxxxx*xx/8+xxxxxx*xxx/9;
resu=­r*0.6931471806+8*z;
}

which gives e.g. ln(1.999)= 0.69264704
nice in comparison to the real 0.692647055
or ln(12345)=9.421007
nice in comparison to the real 9.4210064

There are built-in-functions now for logarithm now, which are
math.log for natural logarithm, and
math.log10 for the base 10 log.

That was a massive bump! 7 years...
