Author Topic: MPH in Blockland  (Read 556 times)

Ok, I'm trying to figure this out. I recently noticed that a few add-ons have used the word "meter", including Badspot. In /cleearfarawaybricks, it mentions the word meter, and has 1000 as a distance. So, as soon as I remembered to do it, I'm converting the box train stuff into MPH with several options on July 31.

Here is what I have, X being the speed in half-BPS(bricks per second).
half-BPS's are just the default speed measurement.

X would be meters per second



x = x / 1000 / 1.6093
(this isn't a scripting example)

1000 =  meters in a kilometer
1.6093 = kilometers in a mile

Ok, now we have miles per second.



x = x * 60 * 60

Now we have miles per minute, then miles per hour(of course we can use times 360)



Now, does it all sound right? My calculation appears to be correct.

I think it would be x / 1000 / 1000 / 1.6093, because it would just be in one meter if it was only by 1000, correct?

The starting measurement is meters per second
