This is a 'DPS Calculator' for calculting Damage per Second of an unit i wrote, because i couldn't find something simular. The result will be copied into your Clipboard once you cklick 'Calculate'.

Tested on Windows 7 64bit, 32bit; works under XP (thanks to Numerion for testing)

Program requires the .NET-Framework 3.5, installation of this should fix it

Please let me know about bugs or ideas

update: 12.01.2010: The majority of bugs/errors should be gone, will add dice/sides soon
thanks

As soon as I saw this in "newest tools" I had to try it. It works quite gracefully, and uses up a small amount of screen space, memory, and RAM (My computer rides on a low amount of RAM) so using it is no pain at all.
I like this 5/5

Calculating DPS is constantly something a mapper has to do so this tool is very useful to us. However, when I tried to type in real number (e.g. 2.7) with a decimal for Attack Speed it would not recognize it as one and instead treated it as 27 seconds.

One more criticism, why not do base damage, number of die and sides per die as the parameters instead of minimum and maximum damage? To know the min and max, we have to calculate them first or go in game to find it. Whereas the parameters I suggested are actually worked with in the editor.

Anyway, good tool and I hope to see it improve.

Tested it 20 Times....
If you set ASPD (Attack Speed) to 0 the Result is Infinity, and If you set the ASPD(You know it Read Above) to 0.(number) the Result would be the same as if you just type that Number itself.

Example - ASPD : 0.5 , Min DMG : 10, Max DMG : 20, Target = 1, Result = DPS : 3.00
While If i do ASPD : 5, Min DMG : 10, Max DMG : 20, Target = 1, Result = DPS : 3.00

I found a Way to counter this..... but fix it!

Instead of 0.(number) You need to type 0.(Number) + 0 Example : 0.60 to make it have the right result.....

Seems reall nice although Ive never thought about putting in DPS for a unit

Found a bug, maybe. When i put min dmg 10 and max 12 and ASPD 1 the result is 11.00. But when i put min dmg 10 and max 11 and ASPD 1 the result is not the expected result 10.50 but 10.00

Ohman found another one -.- Min dmg 1 max dmg also 1. ASPD 0.75 in the end i got 0.01 WTF

tried it several times, get 30.00 and 3.00 DPS

Excellent, as the perfectionist I am this will certainly come in handy. This will be great when you shall balance the cost of towers (based on the DPS) in TDs for example.

More simple and useful applications for the people! =)

-Ignores decimals for attack speed.

This program is useful in the sense that you can use it faster to calculate DPS 3 times faster than Microsoft's Calculator. It saves you bunches of time with the calculations. IE: ( ( [Min dmg] / [Cooldown] ) + ( [Max dmg] / [Cooldown] ) ) / 2 = [DPS] in Calculator takes a ton more time than just typing them in the fields.

Usefulness: 5/5
Appearance: 2/5
Layout/Understandability: 5/5
Overall: 86.67% (5/5)
