Help! I think I broke math!

[ZombieNixon]

:o

So, I'm programming my game engine, as I often do when I have spare time, and I add some point and vector modification routines and all of a sudden, things don't add up. And it's not just that they give the wrong answers, they don't add. Like...addition no longer operates. It hurts. I broke math. That fact that all of this makes sense to me means I need to go to sleep! x(

1. Oh yeah, that reminds me, I have something for you...

[ZombieNixon]

3. LOL...thanks for that...I think? Maybe?

I am actually a very improper nerd, given that I violate nearly every stereotype in that thing...except the eyeballs to the screen one...:thumbsup:

6. Haha, ironically, that certificate describes me quite well.

[ZombieNixon]

8. And you're not even a computer person, are you?

What the herk?

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Haha, I am actually, but not in the typical computer nerd way.

I'm far too lazy to learn how to program (though I'd like to, closest I've gotten is XHTML/CSS, which isn't that close at all, haha) and I rarely play games. I know my way around a computer though (I built this one myself), but I spend most of my computer time downloading shit, reading, and occasionally working on art.

11. Sounds a bit like me.

I'm a computer game developer, yet I have something of a contempt for hardcore "gamers" (you know, the type who pretend to be their game personas IRL), and I develop far more games than I actually play. I'm weird. (But, we already knew that).

13. I used to have an interest in game development back in the day...

But as I've stated, I'm far too lazy.

And to further increase the irony level, I'm off to play some Silent Hill.

2. I've heard...

That deibold machines can fix math. Maybe you could try one of those.

4. I understand some of the words and some of the sentences

this sounds like every time I use a spreadsheet. Don't change it to April! It is supposed to be a four.

sleepy..

5. you suck.

WHY? WHY did you break math? How do I explain to my 6 year old that addition no longer works? Who the $%*& do you think you are???

DAMN!

:cry:

[ZombieNixon]

7. Just think. Now your kid can become a neo-cubist painter

and will be considrered mainstream because *all* art will now look like Picasso! :D

[Fleshdancer]

12. well when you put it that way....

broken math doesn't sound bad at all! :bounce:

15. Start declaring your integers

Floating point is busted as it relies upon logarithms.
