Finding One's Self

Here's the formulas I promised to help you find yourself in your world. Suppose you have a world that is 4x6 in size, with world map size 2x2, that would give you...

4x6 = 24 world entries
2x2 = 4 map entries

24/4 = 6 overall maps

thus,

x,y = (y-1) * cols + x = overall position

world entries - overall position/map entries = eliminated maps

overall maps - eliminated maps = found map #

found map # * map entries - overall position = alpha

map entries - alpha = real position - 1

This is how you can find where ever you are based on your world and map sizes.

Good luck!

Where The Hell Have You Been!?

"Okay...don't have me sitting here for weeks on you...waiting for you to blog...where the hell have you been!?"

Ahhh...I've been caught up in real world work, I apologize.

Ok...weeks ago I said I would present the formula for finding exactly where you are in your world based on the size of your world, down to the tile and pixels. I actually, figured out the formula 2 days after I said I would, but just got caught up in so much work (I'm the lead/sole programmer on a virtual machine/security application).

I'm actually going to take a nap right at this moment, but I will post the formula before the day is over. I promise...just way too tired to do it and explain right now, but if anyone is out there ("if they were, you've lost them now dummy...people not waiting on you.") I wanted to update the blog.

So, before the day is over...stay tuned.

I'll be baaahhhccck!
