ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

How many boxes of each mineral count are there? I'm noticing the winnings tend to be fairly small compared with the losings. There used to be a page describing how it worked, but sadly, no longer. I haven't even seen a box for 200 yet...

I still hold the top place in the looser section. :P

Nobody said the net turn on a box field was positive; as far as I know the sumtotal of all the boxes (each less 20), is negative.

Hello

it is completly random, just the "rarity" count plays any rule, like in the store...

most often: 0
often: 20 AND/OR 20-
not that often: 40 AND/OR 40-

and so on..... such higher or lower the win/loose is, such higher is it's rarity...
vi3t-x just got 540 minerals in 1 box yesterday.... lucker ^^

I built that up over time. I was actually the unluckiest for a time, and then I skyrocketed.

I'd kind of like to know these rarities/how it works. Obviously if you can get 540 in a box, there's some equation to use, or a really crazy programmer.

$magic_boxes = array(0, 1, 2); // high, medium, low
$magic_boxes[0] = array(140, 140, 80, 80, 60, 60, 60, 60, 40, 40, 40, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20);
$magic_boxes[1] = array(120, 80, 80, 80, 60, 60, 60, 60, 40, 40, 40, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20);
$magic_boxes[2] = array(60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 60, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 40, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20);
shuffle($magic_boxes);shuffle($magic_boxes);shuffle($magic_boxes);shuffle($magic_boxes);shuffle($magic_boxes);shuffle($magic_boxes);
$j = mt_rand(0,2);
for($i=count($magic_boxes[$j]);$i < 49; $i++) $magic_boxes[$j][$i] = 0;
shuffle($magic_boxes[$j]); // times 10000

I believe net gain on each set is like -20.

Is there a purpose to calling shuffle() more than once? AFAIK, assigning random keys will randomize the list equally regardless of starting order (not like actually shuffling cards).

You would think no, but from what I tested, it appears to be more helpful.

Nov 29 2008, 4:57 am DT_Battlekruser Post #16



You're tempting me to do some kind of statistical analysis on shuffle() :P

Ehhhm... so "-" has a more "rarity" then "+" ?

Rofl I clicked a box in a sure non zero and then it reset without giving me shit lol. I tryed again on the new box's and got 0.

Actually I might have just got 200 minerals... But I don't see how that's possible. Now i'm on the highscores.... Me confused :><:
