00:16.53AAA_awrightIs it divided by zero anywhere?
00:18.31blast007AAA_awright: it's probably used in division somewhere, yes

00:19.03AAA_awrightblast007: For velocity? I can't imagine why you would want to
00:19.18AAA_awrightLinear velocity, I mean
00:19.24joevanoJeffM: quake knocked down my wife's Grandma's brick fence in Mexicali and threw tons of stuff to the floor, no electricity... and everyone is outside
00:19.42blast007joevano: he left ;)
00:20.05joevanono one is really sure about structural damage yet... no outright failures
00:20.19blast007sucks
00:20.25joevanooh, he did, I looked and didn't see it

03:22.20jcpIf I were to create a wiki page about how to set up JZBot to connect to a BZFlag server, would that be accepted favorably by the devs?
03:22.34jcp(read: or would there be devs mad at me over that?)
03:23.08jcpAnd I'd be happy to include the usual "don't connect bots to servers you don't run, and don't be stupid and send their passwords to other people" disclaimer on the article
03:26.34jcptakes the silence as a "yes, that's ok" type of remark

06:35.11Constitutionanyone know of a straightforward way to determine y, where 2^y = x, when given x?
06:35.26Constitutionaside from repeatedly dividing by 2?

06:37.21Constitutionah, thanks
06:37.37Constitutionknew it had to be simple :)
06:47.39AAA_awrightlg(x) or just log(2)/log(2). Constitution: Do you need a floating point representation?
06:47.58AAA_awrightIf you don't, it's FAR faster to use a bitwise operation
06:48.13ConstitutionAAA_awright: just int
06:48.46AAA_awrightlog() is calculated by doing just that, repeatedly dividing in a for() loop, it's not exactly very fast.
06:49.33Constitutionok... been so long I forgot
06:50.58ConstitutionI use it infrequently, so that's fine
06:51.50AAA_awrightThere is a fast operation that uses polynomial multiplication, ln(x+1) for an x close to 1 iirc... you are just finding the most significant bit that is non-zero? That should be fast... I haven't actually thought about it... k
06:52.39ConstitutionAAA_awright: I don't know what you mean
06:52.53ConstitutionI am trying to determine what root of 2 a given number is
06:53.17ConstitutionI need it to determine the number of recursion levels for a function
06:54.42AAA_awrighthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_logarithm#Integer looks helpful
06:55.27Constitutionthanks
06:57.39BulletCatcherlog2(x) *is* the mathematically correct answer.  Don't spend time on optimization you don't need.
06:57.51AAA_awrightYeah sorry if that's confusing. If it's a hack log(x)/log(2) should be good enough (though if x is really close to an exponent of 2 it might be wrong due to floating-point error, for fairly small numbers shouldn't be a problem)
