The only problem with that is that these are "general guidelines" for the AI to follow. Much likes rules of engagement given to a soldier during combat. How well the soldier carries out those rules or rather how willingly and purposefully the AI digresses from that in it's assessment of it's own current state is what the core problem in dealing with AI.

Further complications comes from AI's interacting with one another, not just the environment.

btw Leech I'm Asclepeos on the Flashkit forums.

that's only the output. It is as profound as a trace function to debug code, it does not highlight the inner workings of the AI.

actually, that's just theoretical. just because the probability of it landing on heads or tails is 1:2 doesn't mean it will land on heads and tails 50,000 times each.

variance goes down. the limit as n approaches infinity where n is the number of trials approaches 1/2.

Object Oriented Programming is a very overrated idea. Essentially it's no more profound than encapsulating code (abstracting it) so a person wouldnt' have to bother with it later. This is useful mostly in debugging/sharing code. Other than that it's rather just a matter of 'cleanliness' in my opinion.

Flipping a coin is 'random', but flip a coin 100,000 times and half of the times it'll end up heads and half of the time it will end up tails. The same rules apply for thermodynamic properties like temperature and pressure.

microscopic and macroscopic are different things. But they are linked in the fundamental properties of probability.

That's a pretty sweet engine, I'm impressed. Why does the name 'Glen Rhodes' sound familiar?

he co-authored some books and I think "Math Creativity with Actionscript" or something. It's certainly interesting but still not as smooth as the original wolfenstein due to the amount of rays casted. Also the number of coesting entities rendered is considerably less in flash.

It's would be an accomplishment to build an entire game from scratch, but the whole point of an engine is just barebones so that other people can attach the graphics and program the actual content of the game. If all the physics stuff is 'abstracted' out of the picture all a person would need to do is pass a few params and contribute some graphics and a whole game would start to take shape.

this is also very simple to answer, I'm correct and they are wrong. They've insulted me in various ways, but all I want is the argument that it doesn't take knowledge of binary to teach a simple computer apps course. We can quibble at each other all day about who knows more like a bunch of apes and compare cocks, but that avoids the issue of contention. But you have to admit that it's all very funny.

The teacher was being discrete to the student so that he doesn't put anyone else down. She was doing her job as a teacher to teach powerpoint to people. In all honestly, I don't care whether these asshole recognize that or not, because from this hilarious thread that this will continue ad infinitum.

Don't be flattered but you're the only person worth convincing, and if I've accomplished that I'm done posting.

someone who has no idea how a computer works and has no idea what binary means should not be teaching computers, it's like teaching photography without knowing how a camera works or teaching software engeneering without knowing what an ALU is, all of these are possible but should not be done, people who don't know much in their field of expertese are not people I would hire as teachers.

But it's powerpoint for goodness sakes!

Do you understand when I say that it is "abstraced out of the picture"? OOP is all about abstraction so that people don't have to worry about lower end stuff that's been done. Binary is deeply abstracted out of the picture, it's probably one step above hardware.

Inglor,
You post at a very innoppotune(sp?) time.

here's a suggested solution: http://osflash.org/doku.php?id=flashcoders

:undocumented:flash8

Look for FileReference() and setPixel(), flash's loadMovie only nativel handles progressive jpgs, I don't know how fast the new solution to be if you can convert images to XML. Flash is really sandboxed for security reasons, there's is really not much of a workaround except to purchase more flash things like FlashCom server which has it's own protocol (RTMP) for transferring media, it's not UDP based so it's not as fast but it's reliable at transferring data.
Flash Studio 8 might not be out but MTASC 1.09 compiles swfs.

I loaded dynamic images using the java Robot Class (to output progressive jpgs) with Java sockets: one server and one client then loaded it with a simple loadMovie;

and again, what does it matter if you're teacher doesn't know any actionscript?

Something about a pot, a kettle, and the color black.

I admit I cast the first stone, simply because it was too easy. But this was in pure jest. People reply with a shove and I'll show them who has endured more. They have the nerve to list their profession as 'programmer' with only superficial knowledge of the craft. This chance at ridicule is too tempting to resist, especially if they form their bias on what.. a cheesy avatar? Please no more of you're psedo-intellectual pacificism, because why do people flame on the internet if there's really no point is as rhetoric as asking why are there wars? why do good people suffer? It's all not very profound now is it?

Now the thing you have to ask is: "Is the class just teaching computer software?" I'm assuming so, but then again I'm not sure. If it is, your arguement stands. If not, then not.

binary is still a level lower in terms of abstraction below actualy computer programming which is still higher order than say compiler design where knowledge of binary is a prerequisite.

But really... why the hell are you doing this? And what do you want? You aren't going to change anything, we aren't going to wake up and go "Hey, I'll change my entire life because some a-hole on the board is starting a flame war!" So really... just stop.

Maybe if the world were ruled by you placating girls like you there wouldn't be much conflict or suffering? Or is it that you don't understand pride/ego or progress and the unrelenting loyalty toward one's own obsession? And if you call me a sexist than I'll carelessly retort that you're too simple to understand the argument.

I'll keep this brief because it's redundant:

knowing binary hs nothing to do with teaching powerpoint.

Show us what you know then. Tell us about it. Maybe if you didn't keep on saying "I know more" without specifying anything, we'd stop launching offenses at you.

This is the internet and we're all armed with google. But regardless, I wasn't the first to bring up 'who knows more' someone else did simply because they see a lollipop and they wrongly assume that knowledge of computer programming has some relation to how much you vote/click on newgrounds. My response is well whatever, 'I know more', on the simple basis that most of you people post problems with PHP and I haven't done that since well middle school, which back then was just mostly PERL. I am not going to prove to you well because you're really annoying and I'm not going to do something because you said so alright?

I knew more when I was 12, but that's beside the point.

My stance still stands, the teacher not knowing binary has nothing to do with her ability to teach powerpoint. It doesn't make her stupid and what is worse that a person shouldn't take a lesser class, just so they can go back to insult the teacher. That's cruel if anything. That's like going back to the elementary school to put down the teacher for trying to teach a person how to divide. Completely unnecessary.

Everyone has avoided my argument and went on for personal attacks against me, well go on I'll take it but that still doesn't prove me wrong.

he doesn't know more than me. I will be money on it.

There's is not a chance that a hick would know more than me on ANYTHING.

I don't care how much he knows more than people on Newgrounds, because honestly most people here are retarded about most things especially computer programming. It's not very hard to know more than a complete novice.

The issue with the teacher not knowing what binary is, has absolutely nothing to do with her teaching abilities. Nothing. Why? because binary is two levels of abstraction down from what she's trying to teach. She's trying to teach people how to make transitions with powerpoint and how to get people to present data in powerpoint or teach the basics of excel or something. How a computer works inside is abstracted out of the picture. She serves her purpose regardless of the fact whether she knows binary or not. You're all just a bunch of arrogant know-it-all that see too narrowly into a subject matter that should if anything, humble an individual.

typical script kiddie.

how should they be separated upon output?

as long as we agree to disagree, I'm mellow jello.
