Deep

I'm mainly looking for the key terms i need to google to get going - I know i need to do some form of fitting a normal distribution to the data and then hypothesis testing but i'm not sure on the specifics

hi guys, i have a 2 different sets of data for an exam on my course. they look like normal distributions, with two different means but similar std devs - the means are around 55 and 40 (marks out of 100). How can I mathematically show that the chance of the second mean being this much lower is very very low, and thus that we must have done worse this year due to everything that is going on?

so if you have 84.4 watts then over an hour it will output 84.4 watt-hours, which is a unit of energy, the same as joules

I'm looking for a word is this the right place to ask

hi

Do I capitalize Common Sense in a sentance?

Also, when I stream using hangouts on air, if my mouse stays still for a while, the stream stops displaying my screencast and instead displays my avater. is there a way I can turn this functionality off?

dangit.

ah, forgot to specify: I'm on Chrome OS, nd can't install any programs.

is there a way to get the audio from my pc to be streamed without picking it up via my mic?

hey guys, are you familiar with google hangouts on air?

cheers guys

I'll come back in the morning and try to fix it

so if units doubles, the three values increase the correct amount

i need player.speed, fraction and gravity to scale in proportion to one another at the moment

dyou need more info?

any ideas?

units is 34 on my screen

the 42.5 and 13.4 are completely arbitrary, but they give the intended behaviour on my screen size

player = {
        x: 0,
        y: 0,
        speed: Math.floor(units/8),
        velX: 0.02,
        velY: 0,
    },

friction = units/42.5,
gravity = player.speed/13.4,

Jumping:
player.velY = -player.speed * 2;

Movement:
player.velX+= units/8;

friction and gravity are then subtracted from the velX and velY properties, which are then added to the players x and y position

and the same for height

then canvas.width = units*tilesX

its based on the screen size:

Is that what you meant?

I'm using HTML5 Canvas, and all my own code

My game is a platformer, and its composed of tiles that are a certain number of whole pixels high, dependent on the screen, stored in units. How can I ensure that my player behaves the same way on all screen sizes, using this value?

Thanks :D

I have a question about the physics of my game. Is anyone around?

Ok, thanks guys, I'll get thinking!

alright

So, a isolated, well thought out, single player story is the way to go?

fair enough

"go win the tournament, make daddy proud" etc?

Could multiplayer be used as a plot device?

these items would be things like shields, swords and rings that cast magic, among others

there will be a large pokemon-like world which you are free to roam and explore, however, there will probably be no side quests, except small "can you fetch me x" side quests that give you more money

Its based mainly around combat, physical and magic, (like kingdom hearts, almost) It has a huge focus on items, with (planned) hundreds of unique items that will change combat in a unique way. It is 2d, with some overhead, pokemon style peaceful sections, and contra style sidescrolling battle sections

So should I explain game style, mechanics etc?

well, how can I clarify?

How important is a good storyline to an RPG?

I don't want to do a "save the town/princess" like the rest of them.

I'm working on an RPG, and I'm unsure as to how to make the story

I have a question:

alright, that sounds reasonably easy to do. Thank you.

internet back up

You've lost me. Should I come back later?
