Amazing on horse combat. There's gameplay to shove up your ass Memo.

The English honours system isn't at the same level as a Scottish honours apparently :D
The only reason the English courses give the honours title is so that an English degree doesn't sound inferior to a Scottish one, even though it is :D
That might not be true, but our lecturer told us something along those lines.
Anyway, I dount the workload is more intense, we do 10 individual modules per year on our course, adding up to a total of 40 modules over the four years including a year long project in fourth year. I doubt that's any less intense per year than what you do.
Plus, I can apply for jobs in England at the same leevl as students who have completed a 3 year degree down south. I know that because I've asked a CEO of a Cambridge based company.

Three years for a Hons over here, that means more intense work, but a year extra to start earning back the bucks - unless I have to resit. :o)

Yeah, but isn't that just a tad obvious?

If you take a photo of someone, then look at the photo, the things in it ARE 3D, but the pciture isn't.
None of your blah de blah uni stuff.

Now, there's an argument I couldn't win if I was actually stupid enough to start it.
Since you're in Uni that makes you better than me, I'm only doing my highers at the moment.
:(

Arguing about fractions!!! You people need to get lives!!!!

Nope, I'm Scottish, and because we are clever, we do four year BSc degrees with Honous ;)
This year I will have a BSc, next year I'll hopefully have a BSc (Hons) :D

Arghh, a Lab session beckons. I'm assuming you've almost finished your last year project then?
It'll take a little while.
You've just got to start thinking out of the usual things you have been taught, and remember that everything has been simplified.
It shows you there how the standard dimentions are figured out, and even shows that 2 can be expressed as a fraction, when it says
2logN/logN = 2 dimensions :D
2 is just simplified and taught at lower levels so that people don't get really confused.
It is useful to simplify dimensions 95% of the time, unless you are dealing with fractal dimensions, and computer games are increasingly using fractal representations of objects to allow for real time deformations of terrain :D
I would guess that even as far back as Magic Carpet, fractals were in use in 3D games. The earthquakes in that game actually deformed the landscape. You could also use midpoint displacement (a form of fractal terrain generation) to simulate craters formed by meteors or rockets, actually during gameplay

Ah, thank yee, I'm guessing this will take some time to get my head round. Never liked logarithms.
