Where N is the number of features I have in the game.

And none of this silly programming business! That is only O(N*log(N)) time.

I know you guys have a secret method.

There is no formula for the time it takes to produce games, it's too varied depending on several factors (no fixed variation either). Log won't help you nao.

Number of features is not well-defined. Learn to form questions.

No, I think it'd rather be:

Lazy bum's game = "Wet dreams for the sake of nrop"
Lazy bum's game.time_taken = Lazyness * normal duration
normal duration = 8 months
Lazyness = over ninethousand

In case you haven't noticed yet, this isn't my main anymore. PM me here.

Fine then, let N resent the number of females helplessly attracted to me once the game is released.

Tell me the secret method!

N needs to be the basic operation... I don't think the number of functions you is a good pick at all.
Also I'm pretty sure it's impossible to make a game at O(n) efficiency.

Unless you work for an age, N will be 0.
As such, the only point in which the equation will work is for N=0.

Hence, just publish a blank file.

Don't doubt my logic; I do maths.

Doomsday-One, working on stuff better than preloaders.

By the way, I made the 'Create an Animated Sprite' preloader for Sprite TV 3!

N is such a jealous guy huh. Damn two-minute lifespan ninja dude.

Female attraction does not correlate with how a game is made. So there isn't a relevant answer.

My hopes and dreams are crushed

Anyone know a O(N) method to kill yourself?

Where N represents how dead you are.

Well if N represents how dead you are than you'd want a O(N!) method.

While I wonder how you stumbled apon the term of big O notation clearly you have no idea what it actually means :P

Does anybody have a O(N) method to provide a counterpoint to this?

Where N is the amount of words used.

(He has no idea how to use big O notation nor does he want to)
O(1) efficiency , even better.

Being able to actually under it.... O(N!) but there is a chance!

Does anybody have an O(N) method to describe how completely boring O(1) is?

Where N is the number of sighs and instances of sarcasm.
