To tell the truth, I actually like the results Voidious's version gives better, as it keeps a slightly higher velocity the whole way through to minimise any possible gap at the end. =) I've made a simplified version of the whole predictor based on your ideas, I'll post it just now. --[[User:Skilgannon|Skilgannon]] 11:19, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 13:19, 16 July 2009

I did a quick one-liner which gives almost exactly the same results as your getMaxVelocity(distance):

       private static final double maxVel(double distance){
         return Math.floor((Math.sqrt(1 + 4*2/Rules.DECELERATION*distance) - 1));
         
      }

The difference is that mine gives integer results, rather than all the 0.5s 0.33333s 0.25s and 0.666667s.

Hey Skilgannon, I did a test with your one-liner with the formula's on Positive/Optimal Velocity:

StartVelocity = 0.0; StartDistance = 6.0;

velocity = 0.0; distance=6.0
velocity = 1.0; distance=5.0
velocity = 2.0; distance=3.0
velocity = 2.0; distance=1.0
velocity = 1.0; distance=0.0

StartVelocity = 0.0; StartDistance = 10.0;

velocity = 0.0; distance=10.0
velocity = 1.0; distance=9.0
velocity = 2.0; distance=7.0
velocity = 3.0; distance=4.0
velocity = 3.0; distance=1.0
velocity = 1.0; distance=0.0

StartVelocity = -1.9; StartDistance = 10.0;

velocity = -1.9; distance=10.0
velocity = 0.10000000000000009; distance=9.9
velocity = 1.1; distance=8.8
velocity = 2.1; distance=6.700000000000001
velocity = 3.1; distance=3.600000000000001
velocity = 2.0; distance=1.600000000000001
velocity = 1.600000000000001; distance=0.0

StartVelocity = 8.0; StartDistance = -2.0;

velocity = 8.0; distance=-2.0
velocity = 6.0; distance=-8.0
velocity = 4.0; distance=-12.0
velocity = 2.0; distance=-14.0
velocity = -0.0; distance=-14.0
velocity = -1.0; distance=-13.0
velocity = -2.0; distance=-11.0
velocity = -3.0; distance=-8.0
velocity = -4.0; distance=-4.0
velocity = -3.0; distance=-1.0
velocity = -1.0; distance=0.0

StartVelocity = 5.0; StartDistance = 40.0;

velocity = 5.0; distance=40.0
velocity = 6.0; distance=34.0
velocity = 7.0; distance=27.0
velocity = 8.0; distance=19.0
velocity = 7.0; distance=12.0
velocity = 6.0; distance=6.0
velocity = 4.0; distance=2.0
velocity = 2.0; distance=0.0

Your solution and Voidious's one seem to preform about the same. Interesting. :) By the way, I did adjust your function to:

    private static final double maxVel(double distance){
    	if(distance<0)
    		return -maxVel(-distance);
    	if(distance<=Rules.DECELERATION)
    		return distance;
        return Math.floor((Math.sqrt(1 + 4*2/Rules.DECELERATION*distance) - 1));
     }

Otherwise it gives nextVel=0.0 on distance==0.6. --Positive 10:50, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

To tell the truth, I actually like the results Voidious's version gives better, as it keeps a slightly higher velocity the whole way through to minimise any possible gap at the end. =) I've made a simplified version of the whole predictor based on your ideas, I'll post it just now. --Skilgannon 11:19, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
