Topic: Kongregate / My 5-year Anniversary (birthday) on Kong!

On this day 5 years ago, I played my first game on Kongregate, Protector ! Thank you undefined !

I remember when I came here there were like only 300 badges.

666 consecutive days of playing on the 908th day of playing.

Topic: General Gaming / Color Pic-a-Pix Light Vol 2 - abused by ability to "check for errors"

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy playing this puzzle series, I enjoy spending 20 minutes to solve one puzzle, I enjoy solving puzzles in legit ways.

But one thing really annoys me. The solution to Color Pic-a-Pix Light Vol 2 can be revealed by abusing the ability to “check for errors”:

Fill the whole picture by empty squares symbols (a dot), and then just click the check mark and the solution is revealed.

Hmm, easiest medium badge ever?

Topic: General Gaming / What is the point of making a platformer "slippery"?

A game should be challenging enough to be fun to play. But I think making a platform game challenging by making its control “slippery” (or over-sensitive, whatever) is not a right direction.

Other than Vertigo: Gravity Llama , which brought this thread, the first game that comes to my mind is the meat boy series , and the second one is Box Clever .

Topic: Kongregate / New badge discussion

A rating of 3.12 ? I’m a bit surprise because I think it is not that bad.
Where does this game rank among the lowest rated badged games on Kong?

Topic: Kongregate / Multiplayer card games badges blooming

Starting from the Kingdoms CCG badges til the Berserk: The Cataclysm ones, there are:

19 total badged games,
6 badged multiplayer games (32% of total),
4 badged multiplayer CCGs (21% of total),

44 total badges,
13 multiplayer badges (30% of total),
8 multiplayer CCG badges (18% of total)

Is it a bit … too much? (For both multiplayer games and CCGs)

Topic: Time World / For unwanted ships: Salvage or suicide attack?

What about salvage VS losing attack?

Topic: Time World / For unwanted ships: Salvage or suicide attack?

Attacking someone will give me back some resources for lost ships (I don’t know how much though).

Salvage will give me back about half of the resources of the ships.

Which one will give better resources?

That is a sure thing. But I need to ensure the correctness of the formulas beforehand.

Great to know this. It is much easier to write stuff step by step.

Do not get discouraged, this is an amazing idea, and the info that is part of this guide is helpful to all, but the formatting needs serious work. condense when needed, bold only important info, and sort the items a little better. Great job but needs work.

How can I be discouraged by those constructive criticisms? They are all valuable to me. That’s all I expect to have in a BETA thread.

Regarding the formatting, do you prefer formulas to be written in one line (this is the common practice in guides found in this forum) or expanded to “code like” form (this is my practice in this beta guide) or something in between? (Comparison can be found in the post 3 replies above yours)

Protip: When making a guide, just copy pasting large swatches of code and removing the indentation leads to a mess. I’d be amazed if anyone ever consults this for anything.

I will never post any “code” in a guide because not everybody know them. And all the above things are solely mathematics (with a little bit human language), but no “codes”

I was under the impression he just copy pasted large sections of the game code to make this without any regards to formatting.

Which one do you prefer,




(Invisible Ally Drop chance) = (IA prerequisite) × { (Rare check) × (Base IA Drop chance) + [ 1 – (Rare check) ] × { [ 1 – (evolve check 1) ] × 0% + (evolve check 1) × { [ 1 – (evolve check 2) ] × (Base IA Drop chance) × (Zone Rare mob chance) × (Rare rate) × 7 + (evolve check 2) × 0% } } } × { [ 1 – (Triangle Spooky Pyramid status) ] × (Drop rate multiplier) + (Triangle Spooky Pyramid status) × 1 }




or




(Invisible Ally Drop chance)
=
(IA prerequisite)
×
{
    (Rare check) × (Base IA Drop chance)
    +
    [ 1 – (Rare check) ]
    ×
    {

        }
    }
}
×

The way it is written I feel nauseous just from looking up at the thing. I would rather read directly from the game code.

edit: can you please not bold everything either? Bolding serves to mark emphasis, if every new item starts in its own line there is no need to emphasize anything – line breaking does that by default.

I want to present the formula in the most “compact” way, that is to include everything in ONE huge equation. Plus this is an Excel-ready formula, i.e. I already translated something like “In case of” into Excel form of language (of course the exact one, but basically). Yes I admit if things are written like this it is rather “nauseous” for HUMAN to look up those variables, but at least not for Excel.

Things that are presented in procedural form (Step 1 multiply A by B to get C. Step 2 in case of Worst Moon, multiply C by D) may be more readable. But I think this also produces many inaccuracies and ambiguities. and this is not a mathematically formal way of presenting calculations.

Battle Arena calculator

Google Doc:
http://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtTw61zoP1yedEhGNFBBMUg3RmppendEZnN4dVF3Zmc

Excel: Download

This is a spreadsheet calculator to calculate Battle Arena numbers. It is a Beta and so it is very primitive at the moment. It only calculates your Min and Max Damage, Critical Damage, Base Drop Rate and IA Drop Rate at the moment. If things go well many BA stats will be included. Please help test these things out.

The Google Doc version is open to edit. So if it is spoiled by someone you can still download the Excel version.

Got it.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

Thanks.

But I really can’t find where areaDamagePct declaration/value assignment locate. Ctrl + F “areaDamagePct” all sources already :(

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

Hi, I am reading some codes of the game and I don’t understand some variables.
May I ask what do arenaBot and areaDamagePct mean?

(I want to study how exactly dealt damage is calculated)

Reference:

botMult = Math.floor(2 – arenaBot / 24000);
.
.
(skipped)
.
.
damageDealt = Math.ceil(((minDamage + random(maxDamage – minDamage + 1)) * (skillPower / 100) – enemy.defense * (100 – ignoreDefense) / 100) * (areaDamagePct / 100) * botMult);

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

Thanks for answering.

(I always want to make an “Excel calculator” to calculate BA-related numbers like Damage, Drop rate etc, so that I can find the answer myself (and also the answer to whether 4 atk 1 crit is really the golden ratio, and many more).
All I need is the precise and updated formula of those stuff.)

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

As an orange bonus, which one is generally better, Hit Chance or Accuracy?
(And also Dodge chance / Evasion)

As a purple bonus, which one is generally better, Equipment Attack or Attack Power?
(And also Equipment Defense / Defense Power)

Topic: Time World / Chapter N - Map pieces

How often do they drop?

And for those who have finished Chapter N, how many times did you attack the Chap N enemy before gathering all 5 pieces?
