DIS: Re: BUS: Simulation Time
I would support this with: s/a magnitude of 100/a magnitude equal to the magnitude of their previous score plus 100/ Super curious about the simulator! Though I don't have much free time due to work commitments, I'd be happy to help, if there's a way that I can help. -- Shredder On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 5:05 PM, Kerim Aydin ke...@u.washington.edu wrote: [I started writing the following last week.

Each player's Velocity starts at 0. RR4. Gravity (G) is a real positive number equal to 10.0. RR5. Each player CAN, once each week, specify a Course Change, which must be a complex number with a magnitude of 5 or less; this number is added to eir velocity. RR6. At the beginning of each week, the following events occur in order; i. Each player i's velocity is changed by the vector sum over all other players j, of vectors with magnitude: GG * Mass(j) /(10+distance(i,j)^2) and direction towards each player j. ii. Each player's score is changed by eir velocity.

Super curious about the simulator! Though I don't have much free time due to work commitments, I'd be happy to help, if there's a way that I can help. Sorry, work just closed in on me this week too. I'll see what I can get up by this weekend (I'll re-propose the gravity change w/edits today or tomorrow, so nothing will start for 4 days anyway). -G.

Just noticing that. I'll write it so it's clear that final location is: 1. Distance from the origin of 100+(current distance from origin). 2. Random angle from origin. (As opposed to say, moving 100 further from current location). -G.

Also, what is the precision of these random complex numbers, we probably don't want the Herald to compute infinitely many digits... Greetings, Ørjan.

Scores I'm allowed to round to 5 digits by R2419, which I was planning to do at the end of (double precision) sets of calculations. But didn't occur to me that Velocities, Mass, etc. don't round. will add. -G.

Might want to make it clear that the direction is measured from player i, which I assume is intended by the similarity to Newton's law. Greetings, Ørjan.
