EMU Efficiency Checker

[LIGHTspeed]

Hey all.

For some extra Algebra practice, I wrote this little EMU Efficiency Checker, which shows you how many trips you could be saving by getting 20(or whatever) more EMU.

It's rather worthless, but hey, maybe it'll help someone decide if they should spend those two extra PP on random nexus or getting ONLY 20 more EMU.(Worthless, right?)

 

 

I found out on a LARGE Iron job, I could save 10 hours of carry time by getting 20 more EMU. o.O

(Somebody has too much free time on my hands. Lol)

 

Here's the program: http://www.badongo.com/file/8112462

 

P.s. Roja, I hope you don't mind me using the EL Icon for it. It's not the actual program Icon, just the little picture on the form.

 

Another Edit: You'll need .NET 2.0 or later

This would take all of about 5 minutes to code in PHP and wouldn't require running anything apart from your web browser.

Oops, sorry... Fixed now.

 

Labrat: Probably true, but A) I don't know PHP, and B ) I mainly did it to see if I could... If anybody else can actually use it, that's just a bonus. Hehe

What is it? BASIC?

Really? It works for me. o.O

(And yeah, VB.NET... The only language I can understand well. )

Problem on my end. THIS ADDRESS HAS DOWNLOADED A TOTAL OF 909MB IN THE LAST HOUR ALREADY....The hell? Probably someone else in my family, drat...

 

I only know a little BASIC... I wish I could afford it on my home computer to make kewl works like this (really).

[LIGHTspeed]

Aphistolas, if you can do a little BASIC then try either SharpDevelop or Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express

SharpDevelop is better, in my opinion(It's smaller and does C# too), but both are free.

 

Going from BASIC to Visual Basic is very easy. The general syntax and most commands are the same.

 

Edit: Or, if you want BASIC, there's always FreeBasic.

Thanks There are two runaway-firsts in my computing science class, I am the second one. We only just started programming however, but it's certainly very interesting! My teacher refuses to tell me any C or C++ though

 

Looks to be a few intro videos...hopefully I can get into it. Thanks very much for the links!

 

PS: Wow, that download thing is going up. Now it says I've downloaded almost 1GB in the past hour.

 

 

Edit: Had a peek at that website...not sure how to download it though :/ I thought programmes needed BOTH source code & binary...yet they seem to be seperate downloads.

What happened to calculators?

[LabRat]

rl interrupted my coding.

 

http://labby.co.uk/emucalc/index.php

 

The page and the source are in the same page so you can see what it is and how it works.

 

BASIC, C and PHP are very similar and easy to transcode between each other.

[LIGHTspeed]

Really?

Cool, maybe I can do PHP then.

 

Edit: Nice, LabRat... Works better than mine.

wth!? I can write the same thing in LISP in 7 lines (but it takes 95 seconds to run).

He prolly doesn't know any

Of that I have no doubt, but I purposefully wrote it as verbosely as I could so he could grasp the algorithm and the methodology so he could translate it himself.

 

If it was not for a web page it would have been simply a case of a few gets and puts, which would have stripped the code down to no more than a few lines or so.

[LIGHTspeed]

Oh, ok, whew. I was wondering why the code for that was so long. Lol

[LabRat]

Code in C:

void main(void)
{
int cemu = 80, demu = 80, quantity = 10, weight = 1;
printf("Current EMU, Desired EMU, Quantity, Weight? ");
scanf("%d %d %d %d", &cemu, &demu, &quantity, &weight);
printf("Trips with current EMU[%.3f] Trips with desired EMU [%.3f]\nPress any key to exit", (float)((quantity*weight)/cemu), (float)((quantity*weight)/demu));
getch();
}
