Getting Started

Hey me again!

I have started actually testing the math on one of the abilities in the game. The ability is my ultimate ability. The ultimate ability should technically do the most damage of the abilities. My ultimate does 200%-400% of my base weapon damage. My base weapon damage is 1676 so I took that number and multiplies it by 0.2 and 0.4 to get my range which was 3352-6704. All of the numbers we had were within that range but we only tested it about 20 times. I am still wondering if there are other things that we should be including that will affect the numbers. I will keep testing and i actually hope i find a flaw.

A New Beggining

This year for my passion project i have decided to play a video game called Runescape. Last year we did passion projects and I didn't get what I wanted to out of mine. Runescape is a MMO which stands for Massive Multiplayer Online, what that means is that you actually are playing with other people around the world. Video games have always been a passion of mine and I have always wondered how they worked. For my passion project I will not be only playing and progressing through the game I will also be testing some of the math in the game such as critical hit chances and what not. How i will be testing the math is by writing down the number that i hit and the turning on the ability and averaging out to actually see if the numbers on the abilities are actually correct. That's all for now ill have an update soon and hopefully some pictures.
