PlatEspiColxMath

Okay,I've been dealing with my platform engine so long…

First time I did platform,the person flew away. Then they wouldn't jump, and now they have a clip problem with landing. But all is well, because I finally made the engine work, basically. This makes it so that Espion now has 2 engines running,the shooter engine and the platform engine. Shooter fine, though I had to take away the scope getting set off because I don't know how to calculate the mouse coordinates based on monitor coordinates…any advice? Ya, so now I'm gonna start to integrate the above view once I design the platform level, and anyone who reads these blogs/my comments knows that I'm bad at designing levels…We'll see if I can learn.

In other things, I finally got in the Top20 list of ColumnsX at 92K. Ya, now I just need to focus on super glyphing, defeating the nice AI that made me think I was doing online play and somehow setup a 7x combo…I'm trying to figure a setup on paper for that one.

And in non-virtual life, I found out that I can't just skip G9 math and start half learning in G10 math. That's annoying, because I derive everything I do so that I need to learn my math before my neural nets freeze and I have to focus on memorizing everything. Hence, I'm going to have to learn how to memorize derivations…Ya, its a piss off. So my logicistics have frozen to the point that I'll probably never be able to fully understand dimensions above 3 and the theory of relativity…how sad…Oh, and to note, the only thing that I can't get even after like 5+explainations,what are polynomials? They just don't make sense, since I thought they were expressions only comprised of addition.

Polynomials are easy peasy. They're graphs that have a power of x larger than 1. Examples:

y = x^2 + x + 2

y = x^6 + x^3 + x^1

I see…

So they have to have an exponent,for some reason they can't be like 4/x and its really x^1 would be accepted…I'd think…

Do they have to have an exponent?

Can't an exponent also be addition though,just like how 4x+x^2 could x+x+x+x+x+x…?

a polynomial is an algebraic expression made up of two or more terms, and is defined as a summation of terms

also no, they don't have to have an exponent

Okay…I think I'm starting to get this…I just have so many conflicting definitions…
