How "TRON" Is Your Game?

Sticky this.

Haha!

It's Speed/Rubber and Trail Length/sqrt(Area), but nice idea

sinewav's a group theorist, those guys are always doing crazy stuff like using '*' for addition
and '-' for division

[Z-Man]

Well played. BUT! Hah! If they write - instead of /, then they will also write *2 instead of ^2.

Real tron has 0 rubber, correct? Zman...

[Jonathan]

Can I have some infinite walls too? Or maybe remove the arena.

[Z-Man]

I am, of course, operating on the compatification of R+ as a multiplicative topological group (which ceases to be a Lie-Group after the compactification, obviously. And a group.), which has infinity and zero included. And zero rubber or zero area just results in infinite TRON-ness. Nothing wrong with that. Or, if that disturbs you, you can regularize the speed/rubber quotient by adding a cutoff, like (speed/(rubber+speed/fps)).

Actually, I did mean the difference not the quotient. It's my opinion that is you have a negative result you should give up and start over. I guess it's my bad for putting that misleading 0 at the origin. But yeah, using the quotient gives the same effect since the scale of the chart is arbitrary.
