Hi newbie here. I'm playing this RPG that offers many different shields, and I was wondering if one shield blocks an 15% of an attack 22% of the time, but the other blocks 22% of an attack 15% of the time, which one is better? Thanks -- 2connect4 ( talk) 11:30, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, that's what happens in a game with a lot of customization. Thank you so very much for all your help, you opened my eyes to so much lol. I'm not really sure what you mean by approximation, is this the right wikipedia article to read about? Orders of approximation -- 2connect4 ( talk) 01:29, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
My belated thank you very much, sir. 2connect4 ( talk) 17:02, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
I am trying to remember the name of those wonderful swirly patterns the edges of which are recursive repeats of themselves as you zoom in on them. I used to have some fascinating programs on old 3.5" disks that drew them for you but I had to scrap them when PCs had evolved so far that they wouldn't run them any more.
Can anyone remember what the patterns were called? The name is (annoyingly) on the tip of my tongue.
