| 04:02 | | * Derakon creates a new pattern, "machinegun". |
| 04:02 | <@Derakon> | The emitter spawns fixed turrets that fire steadily at the player for a while and then explode. |
| 04:03 | <@Derakon> | Seeing as I lasted until loop 15 against it in test mode, I think I'll put it into the beginner course. |
| 04:03 | <@Derakon> | It can be the beginner's introduction to using the inflector. |
| 04:06 | <@Derakon> | (Test mode means I have only one life, but since there's only one pattern in the course, I also gain a bomb every 8 seconds or so...I should probably remove the gain-bomb-on-rank-up) |
| 04:12 | <@Reiver> | inflector being? |
| 04:12 | <@Derakon> | Attracts bullets to your ship. |
| 04:13 | <@Derakon> | It also increases your score multiplier and, given enough time, earns you extra bombs. |
| 04:13 | <@Derakon> | The key thing here is that if you pull the "turrets" offscreen, they stop firing. |
| 04:15 | <@Reiver> | Aaah, and the turrets count as guns themselves. |
| 04:17 | <@Derakon> | Bullets, yes. |
| 04:17 | <@Derakon> | Basically, everything is a bullet except your ship and the main emitter. |
| 04:17 | <@Reiver> | Nice. |

| 05:31 | <@Derakon> | Agh, why can't I figure this out? |
| 05:31 | <@Derakon> | Simple mathematical expression that spits out 30, 20, 15, 12... |
| 05:32 | <@Derakon> | Ah, there we are. |
| 05:33 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Derakon: floor(60/n)? :) |
| 05:33 | <@MyCatVerbs> | Derakon: http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/?q=30%2C20%2C15%2C12&language=englis h&go=Search <- FTW. |
| 05:34 | <@Derakon> | In this case, 600/(20+int($rank)*10) |
| 05:34 | <@Derakon> | I guess I could take out an order of magnitude there. |
| 05:36 | <@Derakon> | ...right, this goes into the Advanced course. |
| 05:36 | <@Derakon> | As soon as I figure out how to make it not impossible by rank 4. |
| 06:06 | <@Derakon> | I now have 13 patterns done. Woot. |

| 19:51 | <@Derakon> | 15 patterns~ |
| 19:51 | <@Derakon> | 5 in Beginner, 5 in Intermediate, 4 in Advanced. |
| 19:52 | <@GeekSoldier> | ehn? that usually equals 14... |
| 19:52 | <@Derakon> | ...good eye. |
| 19:52 | <@Derakon> | I was counting the duplicate pattern in my testing course. >.< |
| 19:52 | <@GeekSoldier> | hehe. that's why you have betas. |
| 19:53 | <@Derakon> | This is why I have friends who can actually do arithmetic. |
| 19:59 | <@Derakon> | ....okay, this pattern is amusing, but I don't think it'd be fun to try to navigate. O_o |
| 20:02 | <@Derakon> | Now it just looks like Brownian motion. |

| 21:14 | <@Derakon> | String formatting question: I want to turn "3.02" into "03.02". I thought "%02.2f" would get me what I want, but it doesn't. What would? |
| 21:15 | <@Finerty> | One moment... |
| 21:16 | <@Finerty> | %05.2f |
| 21:16 | <@Finerty> | the 5 is "minimum field width", not "number of digits before the decimal" |
| 21:16 | <@Derakon> | Ahh, right. |
| 21:16 | <@Derakon> | Thanks. |
| 21:18 | | * Derakon adds higher precision to the "Time survived" part of the highscores table. |

| 23:03 | <@Derakon> | Current patterns: bigspiral, chargelaser, counterspiral, crossfire, doomcircle, fandance, homebullet, machinegun, pinwheel2, pinwheel, scatterscatter, snake, subcircle, weave, windmill. |
| 23:06 | < UndeadAnno> | Do a barrel roll. |
| 23:07 | <@Consul> | You need one called triplelindey. :-P |
| 23:07 | <@Consul> | Points to whoever knows that reference. |
| 23:07 | <@Derakon> | Uh, swing dancing? |
| 23:07 | <@Consul> | Not even close. It's a movie, I'll give that hint. |
| 23:08 | <@Consul> | Err, well, it might be a term in swing dancing. |
| 23:08 | <@Derakon> | Lindy hop is a type of swing dancing. |
| 23:08 | <@Consul> | I don't know. That's not where I know it from. |
| 23:08 | <@Consul> | Ah, no. |
| 23:09 | <@Consul> | There was a Rodney Dangerfield movie called Back to School, where he was an ex-diver, and quite a good one. |
| 23:09 | <@Consul> | His signature dive was called the Triple Lindey. |
| 23:09 | <@Derakon> | Ah. |
| 23:09 | <@Consul> | It involved dropping from the high-platform, onto a springboard, then to another springboard, then to yet another springboard, then into the water. |
| 23:10 | <@Derakon> | ... |
| 23:10 | <@Consul> | Well, it was a Dangerfield comedy. :-P |
| 23:11 | <@Consul> | One of his better ones, I think. |
