I can to it with 8 bit integers! It won't be a even slightly accurate simulation, of course, but... :laugh:

er, bits? But, as we all know - palletized images suck when it comes to performing any real manipulation on them, since you're stuck with looking-up the 24 bit values anyway. Alpha-blending images with a pallette? :shudder: Uhhhrgh! Please dont make me do that again. Recomputing a new pallete is more effort than the image processing itself.

Mine isn't nearly as accurate. Wind fields in real-life are surprisingly non-deterministic and literally change with the phase of the moon.

no, BYTEs. doubles are 8 bytes each. 3x8 = 24 bytes.

You find yourself in a small Sailboat 10 miles East of Cuba. There is a Class 5 Hurricane approaching from the South at 10 miles per hour.

You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Most of my work four places is good enough and I wrote a hurricane damage simulator.

Well, how much precision do you need to say $15 billion (or whatever the number is in billions of dollar?) Marc

Someone, somewhere, is thinking "I am a hurricane damage simulator".

cheers Chris Maunder

So, provided I can do 11 mph due north, I'm fine and dandy! (I don't want to go to Cuba today - I don't smoke)

Instead of running before a speeding object, I'd recommend stepping aside. Go West.

You are not supposed to point out flaws in my argument!

Depends how fast I can move, and the size and initial distance to the storm. Going west means I need to move faster than running directly away.

Size! ..that's the thing I did not take into account. Ah, just a small bug :laugh:

There's always something, isn't there? :laugh:

Not always, but very often :rolleyes:

:doh: Of course. Must be about time for bed for me... Those images sure do get pretty big, pretty quick, at that rate of memory consumption.

I work on stuff where 15 digits is marginally OK, using plenty of trickery.

I'll have my math float away, thank you! :D
