Author Topic: Blockland Measurement Theory  (Read 3706 times)


So total standardization in blockland?

1 in.= 0.33 squares.


You do the rest to figure it all out.

Even thought this is totally inaccurate.


Look at the bedroom map.

If an average bed is about 2 1/2 ft - 3 ft it would make us less then 2 feet, which is what this theory is trying to sell.

So...


OBJECTION! Your theory has been proven to be wrong. So kindly shut the forget up and let Einstein take over.

You do know that Einstein made mistakes as well, and he is also dead, Right?
God... Anyway im doing re-calculation.

So put on your big boy pants and stop whining about how failed this is.

I like 1 stud is 1 foot.


Here's my take at the subject:

Let's say the blockhead is one inch tall.
He's also about 42/3 bricks tall. That makes 42/3 bricks about 1 inch tall.
12 * 42/3 = 56, so 56 bricks stacked on top of each other are about a foot tall.
Each brick is 3 plates tall, and 56 * 3 = 168. So 168 stacked plates are about a foot tall.
168 / 12 = 14, so 14 stacked plates are an inch tall.

In torque units, a 1x1f plate is 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.2.
14 * 0.2 = 2.8, so 2.8 torque units are an inch.
2.8 * 12 = 33.6, so 33.6 torque units are a foot.

In conclusion:
1 inch = 1 blockhead = 42/3 bricks = 14 plates = 2.8 torque units.
1 foot = 12 blockheads = 56 bricks = 168 plates = 33.6 torque units.

However, these measurements only apply to blockland, as the blockhead is around half the size of the default torque player which is probably intended to be around 6 feet tall.

I say screw all your measurements.

One Blockometer = 5 bricks

I say screw all your measurements.

One Blockometer = 5 bricks
I tried googling that...
It failed. Make a definition for it, for all we know you could be talking about pregnant hippos smoking crack. "One pregnant hippo smoking crack = 5 bricks"

Edit: The only reason I hate polls is because of bandwagon >:\

What...?

I'm suggesting that one "Block-O-Meter" should equal five bricks. How in the hell does that translate to pregnant hippos smoking crack?! That's like saying that a centimeter is really a bellydancing platypus that eats babies...It makes virtually no sense...



2 horizontal studs = 5 plate heights = 1 Torque Unit (the unit of measurement used in the engine for positions and stuff)

It's also referred to in some Torque games as "meters" but that doesn't make much sense for Blockland. I'd estimate two bricks as just over 1cm for a 'real world' size. (compared to Lego bricks)

All it takes is a pencile and a blockhead feels short.

I always wondered, 3 plates take up 1 brick, but 3 does not divide into 1 evenly. If you stacked about a ton of plates and a ton of normal bricks, would it eventually look as if they were not aligned?

50 bricks = 75 feet
It depends if you have 75 64X64 bricks thats a big differance 75 1x1 bricks

You're an idiot.
