[Release] GamesForPoints

[Derision]

GamesForPoints

A simple console application coded by me (Derision) in C++.

Simply type in the total number of games your team has played this week and it will tell you how many games you need for 30% (in other words, enough games to get points).

I've included a download for the source as well, for anyone who is interested.

For an arena team to get points on Tuesday, you must have 2 conditions met:

• Team has played at least 10 games
• Each member wanting points needs to have played 30% of the total games

So if your team has played games already and you want to know the minimum amount of games needed for you to get points, you can use this tool for simple calculation of how many games are needed.

(I'm assuming this is arena)
i think you screwed up the maths in your example


1) if your team has played 20 games and you need to play 30% of the TOTAL games played this week

20 + 7 = 27
27 * 0.3 = 8.1
8.1 <> 7


2) or the alternative, assuming that the program calculates IF you will get your points from the total games played
20 * 0.3 = 6
6 <> 7



After looking at the second option i think you meant to calculate the second one in which case you should divide the total games played by "0.3" instead of "1/3" since you end up with different results and you only need 30% of the games played not 33.3333

What happens is at 20 games played, you need 6 games, but because you're doing arena, there's more total games so you have to take that into account.
Look at the source, it will be easier to explain if you look at that.

thats what the first example was

the team has 20 games done so far.
you said you must do 7 additional games for you to get the points
thats 27 games in total
27 times 0.3 = 8.1 games

so you need to do 9 games (8.1 rounded up) out of the 27 games played which is impossible as your team has already done 20 games

If you were to just do 27 * 0.3 that would be 30% of 27 which isn't correct.
Your percent would build up as you did games (for example: 20 games: 0%, 21 games: x%, 22 games: >x%, etc).

[xkrim]

Each member wanting points needs to have played 30% of the total games

total games = 27
30% of 27 = 8.1

yea i know that wouldn't work either as
(27+ 8.1) * 0.3 = 10.51

but my point is that 7 games wouldn't work if you had 20 games played by other people (your example) so you would need another way to work out the % (cant think of one now :P)


From trial and error
if your team had played 20 games
you would need to play 9 games to get points

(20 + 9) * 0.3 = 8.7
8.7 < 9



now i hope i'm not making an idiot of myself but thats what i'm thinking :X

You don't need 30% of the total games after YOU have played because you raise your percent going from 20-27 in this example.

Ok you've confused the hell out of me now, ill just +rep ya and run >P

you mean this counts the number of points you have earned or how many you need till you get a certain amount of points?

interesting

How many games you need to get points from your team if you haven't done games yet but other members of the team have.

[Grezdo]

This is how it works.

3 People are in a 2v2.

2 people do 10 games in a row, each have 50&#37; of total played games.

----

This program tells you how many TOTAL games the team will need completed for that 3rd member to get points (and for everyone to at atleast have 30%)

....i think? lol

calculator addons do this itselfs... no use and just simple programing doesn't deserve +rep
