Hi, I'm making a car simulation game not just a simple one, one that closely matches the kinds of Gran Turismo, therefore, it has to be extremely precise and realistic and use real life physics. I have been searching around for information regarding this subject and was able to get some...

Hi guys. A question came to me as I'm playing a card game with 4 players. Let's say the full deck (of 52 playing cards) are all dealt to each player, one at a time into player's hands in a direction. All the cards are fully dealt before a player views the cards in his hands. Assume player...

Anyone watching the game? 1-1 right now (36th minute), two beautiful goals ...

I thought this was a fun game. http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/future-weapons/games/cannon/cannon.html"

When a single person shouts at a football game, the sound intensity level at the center of the field is 63.3dB. When all the people shout together, the intensity level increases to 115dB. Assuming that each person generates the same sound intensity at the center of the field, how many people are...

Around 3 years back, I had a stall setup at my school's fun fair. It was a simple gambling setup. You put your money on either of 3 things: i] Above 7, ii] Lucky 7 or iii] Below 7. And then, you roll the dice [2 of 'em]. If you put on either below 7 or above 7 and the dice sums up to below 7...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory I am confused about this. Can someone give me an example of a game with perfect information in which neither player has a winning strategy?

What is it that puts one persons thoughts above another's? please do not quote some thoughts from people that have not been tested beyond reasonable doubt.

*** CLICK HERE TO VOTE *** So, for the last few years I've been doing this "Game of the Year" poll with this voting script I made. This poll is different from most polls you've seen-- in normal polls like this you have maybe five or so options, and you pick the one you like best. This poll...

It's been a while since I last did this, and we've had a bunch of new members sign up since, so let's have another round of the same, wot? As usual, I refer the newcomers to earlier rounds of this game: Part I Part II Solutions to Part II HOW THE GAME WORKS: I make up cryptic...

The Game ---------------- We used to play a card game called 24 that a friend of mine invented. Remove all the face cards from the deck so that you're left with nothing but 2-10's and Ace's. Ace's are worth 1, everything else is at its face value. Each of the two players (this only really...

[SOLVED] Probability of Pairings in Chess Game Homework Statement The chess clubs of two schools consist of, respectively, 8 and 9 players. Four members from each club are randomly chosen to participate in a contest between the two schools. The chosen players from one team are then randomly...

Bagatelle Board One has a square board with nails that one rolls a steel ball down from top to bottom. At the bottom there is a box as long as the board that has a number of receptacles for the ball to fall into. The board is held upright and slanted at 45 degrees, so that it rolls down...

Hello all physicists/engineers! I am currently in my last year of college and will be leaving to go to university next year (in the U.K). I am having real trouble deciding whcih course I want to take, so just to be on the safe side I have decided to take physics, just plain physics (maybe...

No thread yet on the NFL? Between two channels, three game winning field goals in less than two minutes. Denver-Buffalo was first and best. They made a first down and could have spiked the ball to stop the clock. Instead, they rush the field goal team out with about 10 seconds on the...

http://www.11alive.com/news/article_news.aspx?storyid=102478&provider=top I am thinking something similar was also pulled off at the Rose Bowl in the 60's. Hmm this kid may become the next Karl Rove. edit: Ah ha history repeats itself. http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/pranks/rosebowl.html

Using a dictionary, pick a world. The more obscure and hard-to-understand the better. Post it. The next person posts the definition of the previous word, a funny comment about it and then a new word. You may consult a dictionary. I'll start: Contumelious

Apart from all the path breaking works by Neumann and Nash on this subject, i was wondering if one could actually use this to explain the behaviour of subatomic particles or vice versa which by all means tend to attain stability.If one can work back from evolution games down to the actions of...

The "What is It?" Game continued This picture reminded me of our old "What is It?" game. This was in the news recently. Can anyone guess what it is? If you guess it, you or another member can post their "what is it?". It can be either a picture or a question. I'll even give a hint "think...

Hi, In a n-person game theory.. I have encountered these terms, superadditivity and imputation, however i do not understand much their definition. Anyone have a simple explanation to this terms? Somebody here knows where can I find a dictionary of mathematical expressions/equations in...

this game is a varient of the wikipedia game, though it teaches a strange lesson. use dictionary.com or someother dictionary site and take any word, look up its definition and then look up those definitions until you get back to the original word... what it shows is that words are defined...

Has anybody here ever played this game when you were bored? First you go on Wikipedia and select some random article. Then, you find a link on the page and go to the article it links to. Continue this process for long enough and you'll eventually end up at some article which you would never...

I ve got this simple problem and I can can not find the solution. Two men play head and tails. Each man flips the coin n times, every time he has head, he should add one point to his score. At the end, they compare the scores, whose score has more points , the man is the winner. A is the...

this is my game based on my wheel theory, the question is how many non-repetitive combinations of letters that link (eg. ab, bc, cd, and ag, gy, ly ect.) can be found in this game, i don't know it myself and i figure this is the best place to post the question since it's a bit involved. bonus...

hey just wondering there are some computer strategy games like Empire Earth where beating hard computers seems very impossible , but how can some manage i mean, in this game, the computer can manage troops on the whole map while you can only control one zone at a time and the pc attacks...

Has anyone ever heard of this: http://www.frogstar.com/fault/index.asp I thought it would be interesting to play here on PF, but I'm not sure how it would work with multiple players. Any ideas?

Very interesting clip about a scientist who mapped neuron cell firing patterns in a monkey's brain while the monkey was playing a simple video game. The scientist then makes a breakthrough discovery that you will see...

I am designing a map game, using PHP and MYSQL. I don't know how to make the players who sign-in to the website to see other players who are also connected to the site and be able to chat with one another. I want to design the game in such a way that 2 players can play with each other and...

You know the one -- your plane crashes on a desert island: you can take -10 novels -10 albums -10 DVD's (I'll even be nicer than most and also allow you to take a "friend" with you.. and also, the plane was filled with cargo containing toothpaste and deodorant and stuff) hope this thread...

So I want to screencast something along the lines of . I'm using CamStudio. The problem is that the resulting video fades into black and fades out of it A LOT, resulting in (a) eyestrain and (b) an incomplete video. Can anyone suggest any solutions such that I could screencast such a video?

Hi. I was wondering if it's possible to calculate bullet accuracy in terms of percentage in a series of ranges, given bullet's max effective range, a series of ranges, bullet mass and velocity with gravity (assuming no wind resistance, or any frictional resistance). I'm looking for a...

Dear All, I'm still only on my second book of learning C++ although I've had plenty of programming experience writing snippets for games before. The first book was about 350 pages and introduced to me to everything up to and including OOP and inheritance. Now I'm reading one targetted at...

I would like to learn more about the uses for the applied mathematics of Game Theory. I am most familiar with this excellent reference [inside viewable on Amazon]: Dynamic Noncooperative Game Theory (Classics in Applied Mathematics) (Paperback) by Tamer Basar, Geert Jan Olsder Question 1...

I have a great deal of respect for John Baez and This Week's Finds [TWF] and his colleges, David Corfield and Urs Schreiber, at n-Category Cafe [n-CC]. I struggle to understand the mathematics since my perspective is more physiological than mechanical physics. I probably misinterpret much of...

In the applied mathematics of Game Theory, dimensions are considered alternative strategies. I have been reading a classic from the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics [SIAM]: Tamer Basar and Geert Jan Olsder. 'Dynamic Noncooperative Game Theory', revised 1999 from 1982. The authors...

Fill the word ,game... In this thread am going to have a new word game...can say it as a word game...hmmm... I'll think of a word and will post it here...not fully...i.e I won't fill the whole word...I'll be leaving dashes in between the letters...you must finally guess the total word by...

The aim of the game is simple (similar to the Math Q&A game). I will post a brain teaser, the first person to give the correct answer gets to set the next question, the first person to then answer this question correctly gets to set the following question... ad infinitum. A few rules before we...

Hi all, ok there are 3 piles containing objects; Pile A, Pile B and Pile C. Let the Nim-sum of all 3 piles be denoted as X. Let Pile A and Pile B and Pile C contain objects. ( In Nim-Sum ) A + X = D B + X = E C + X = F As we are currently in research of a math project, we...

I can't remember the name of the game, but I think it was made in the 90's. It features a flying ship where you attack ground and air targets. You get multiple upgrades that upgrade weapons, etc. It was in 32bit color, I think. I had a dream about this game but could not remember what it was...

What is the name of that game where you have a triangle shaped board with 15 (10?) holes and 14 (9?) pegs, and you have to jump each peg and your goal is to be left with one peg? Usually found at Cracker Barrel, and some other restaurants. Often says if you leave one you are a genius, 2 smart...

Hi all, I want to make a very basic text editor for editing save game files. I already know the locations in the file I need to edit, but I'm not sure how to go about finding them in a bit file(right term?). I'm pretty familiar with general visual basic.net programming and I can get along well...

Hey guys how's it going this is my first post so take it easy on me :wink: . I'm in my last year of electrical engineering technology, and we need to design and construct a final project. On the list of possible topics was the idea of a bio-med game interface. It would be biomed probes detecting...

Hey, I am making a simple game engine for a university computer graphics course, and I'm running into a (simple?) problem with rotations of boxes. I am using bounding box collisions, where a vertex of the box which enters another box receives a force to push it away. At the end of each...

Alright, basically you have to think of a song that in some way relates to a planet, star, moon, astronomer, concept, theory, astronomical term, etc. Expect some to be funny. I'll start off: I still haven't found what I'm looking for - U2 - Dark matter/energy Here comes the Sun - The Beatles...
