A Goblin's Tale ^{(by PROXY)}

<<Quests are a special thing in A goblin's tale. The ultimate goal is, to gain Reputation in Rivershire. You obviously start with 0 reputation, at a neutral level. Every action you do, everey quest you fullfil adds positivly to your reputation or negativly. And here comes the speciality of many of the quests in ~ A goblin's tale ~: Multiple decisions. For example, a guard is complaining about a witch, which resides in the forest nearby. You can decide now, do you want to kill her and bring the guard her head, giving you an extra Bonus from the guard, or do you keep her alive, telling the guard only that she agreed to leave the forest, giving you the normal reward from the guard + the witch will sell you recipes for potions.>>

Type: SPRPG

Lordaeron: The Aftermath ^{(by Goblinkingsp)}

<<Set just after the events of Reign of Chaos, Illidan has cast a spell damaging the Frozen Throne and countless minions of the Lich King have rebelled. Sensing an opportunity to strike the Legions Dreadlords plot Arthas's downfall whilst the broken Alliance Remnants also battle for control of their ravaged homeland. Take control of the Blood Elves, Scourge, the Legion, the Dalaran Remnants, Dwarves, Trolls, Forsaken, the Cult of the Damned or the Silver Hand. Battle for supremacy of the shattered land of Lordaeron in a grand strategy for the ages!>>

Doomlord · Mar 9, 2013

What project received the "Hosted Project of the Year 2012" award?

- Warcraft III Paranoia

What's different this time around in the resource spotlight? (Layout-wise)

- We have the Top+ for 2 successive months instead of 1

Kerrigan's vengeance is directed at who in Heart of the Swarm?

- Arcturus Mengsk

Off-topic: WEEEEEE. Two of my resources are featured in this news batch. Hurray!

GreeN!X · Mar 10, 2013

What field of mathematics can be used to easily rotate a set of coordinates onto a plane?

-cartesian system

What project received the "Hosted Project of the Year 2012" award?

-Paranoia

*cartesian coordinate system

Incorrect

field of mathematics

like Algebra, Geomtry, etc. Cartesian Coordinate System is not a field of mathematics, lol.

edit
Almia is disqualified from q2 since I accidentally gave him the answer >.<. He asked me what it was and then he asked me q3 and I recognized the questions, haha... didnt' give him q3 though, so... =D

Almia · Mar 10, 2013

What project received the "Hosted Project of the Year 2012" award?

Grievous1's Paranoia

What data structure is used when allocating scalar values?

all i "see" is Perl. but i guess its Malloc.

What field of mathematics can be used to easily rotate a set of coordinates onto a plane?

Trigonometry?

Nestharus · Mar 10, 2013

Wrong

Wrong

Oh, Yeah.. LOL

If it's OK to try again, I guess It would be geometry. Amiright?

Ender · Mar 10, 2013

What field of mathematics can be used to easily rotate a set of coordinates onto a plane?

polar geometry.

What data structure is used when allocating scalar values?

doesn't that depend on what you want to do with them? You could use a stack, or if you wanted search it you would use a binary tree, on the other hand if you wanted to maintain list order you would use a queue.

Given an ordered set of data, how many operations in the worst case scenario would it take to find an integer in that set? Give the complexity in Big O Notation.

isn't that O(n)?

Ender · Mar 10, 2013

isn't that O(n)?

scratch that, its O(log n)

Nestharus · Mar 10, 2013

polar geometry.

Wrong

doesn't that depend on what you want to do with them? You could use a stack, or if you wanted search it you would use a binary tree, on the other hand if you wanted to maintain list order you would use a queue.

Answer 1 data structure, not 3

As 2 answers are not acceptable, wrong ;o

scratch that, its O(log n)

Good job : )

Wrong

Ender · Mar 10, 2013

What data structure is used when allocating scalar values?

Then I guess I'll go with stack.

What field of mathematics can be used to easily rotate a set of coordinates onto a plane?

Calculus.

Nestharus · Mar 10, 2013

Good

Calculus.

Wrong again

rulerofiron99 · Mar 10, 2013

Linear algebra.

Almia · Mar 10, 2013

wow nice

Chaosy · Mar 10, 2013

Site:
[Easy] What project received the "Hosted Project of the Year 2012" award?: Paranoia
[Easy] What's different this time around in the resource spotlight?: there is two extra tabs, one for each month

Almia · Mar 11, 2013

What's different this time around in the resource spotlight?

Starcraft and WoW related news(even Diablo) is seperated from the News Batch.

DaggerBreath · Mar 11, 2013

Kerrigan's vengeance is directed at who in Heart of the Swarm?

mengsk

Deaod · Mar 17, 2013

What data structure is used when allocating scalar values?

Stack, heap or static memory. The JASS2 VM doesnt allow dynamic allocation, so in the case of WC3 theres no heap for scalar types of data.

Magtheridon96 · Mar 17, 2013

I forgot to attend to this.
All coding questions are answered.
Deaod, your answer was more complete, so I commend you for that. Have some rep.

Almia · Mar 28, 2013

[Easy] What field of mathematics can be used to easily rotate a set of coordinates onto a plane?

Matrix.This was my original answer before(seriously) when i searched in the Internet,but Nes corrects another answer to confuse me,or i am the one who was confused.

Deaod · Mar 29, 2013

I forgot, if youre trying to search for an integer value in a sorted linked list, the complexity is O(n). The question didnt specify how the data is laid out in memory.

Magtheridon96 · Mar 29, 2013

Actually, you're right.

Whether it's a binary search tree or a linked list, the worst case is O(n) because the binary search tree is never guarenteed to be in perfect balance on both sides.

(+3)

Almia · Mar 30, 2013

Never thought it was really O(n),i thought it was O(log n) XD
