| 11:25:33 | vogon_jeltz | is away: a bit of Tribes2 |
| 13:05:14 | vogon_jeltz | is away: TV |
| 13:51:52 | tvon | ah piss |
| 13:52:19 | tvon | ah, better |
| 14:23:27 | Chestal | re |
| 16:38:38 | captain_proton | hmmmm...how to test if a point is on a line segment... |
| 16:52:52 | |ks| | subtract the starting point of the line from the point and the other end, then compare the slopes of the two vectors? |
| 16:54:01 | captain_proton | i can't use division |
| 17:00:55 | captain_proton | argh |
| 17:03:59 | |ks| | can't... use... division? |
| 17:04:24 | |ks| | use the line drawing algorithm to walk the line, and compare each point? =) |
| 17:04:45 | |ks| | can you even use multiplication? |
| 17:05:26 | captain_proton | i can use multiplication |
| 17:05:37 | |ks| | easy, then... |
| 17:05:44 | captain_proton | the line drawing algorithm won't work because i'm dealing with arbitrary precision numbers... |
| 17:06:07 | |ks| | to compare fractions: An/Ad <=> Bn/Bd can be expressed as An * Bd <=> Bn * Ad |
| 17:06:27 | captain_proton | true... |
| 17:07:10 | |ks| | so what are you doing that you can't use division? |
| 17:07:36 | captain_proton | the only reason I can't use division is because the TA doesn't want us to |
| 17:08:01 | |ks| | ah... so this is an assignment... oops =} |
| 17:08:14 | captain_proton | yes |
| 17:08:42 | |ks| | i thought you were working on a bz tightrope or something =) |
| 17:09:09 | captain_proton | lol no |
| 20:46:31 | captain_proton | staples his algorithms assignment and smiles |
