Topic, The Formula for "If x is a perfect square, then ..."

  Why is this in the flash game development section? You said you're using GM. xD

  Got ya there. xD

  I see a fundemental flaw in your formula, gary-gates:

Perfection Is Impossible! >:D

Therefore, it is impossible to trigger <action 1>... :P

  Oh god, mathematics!

  You press butons and add actions, and the prgram scripts it for you, that's pretty cool, but you need to get the hang of it first.

  Most good games made in Game Maker are made by using code. :/

  Yeah, they look pretty decent... the Super Mario Galaxy one looked pretty good when I saw it. :/

  Gamemaker is a prgram to make games by pressing buttons :P
But, i saw some games made in gamemaker, and I must say some of them are very cool.

  Game Maker isn't very good IMO, but good enough. :/

  You use Game Maker? How good is it? :/

  oh, nice.
Could come to handy.

  I found this formula when I am currently making my own game in Game Maker 8.

  He just found a formula to point out if a square is perfect, gameinsky.

This could be used while programming etc.

  And what are you trying to say ?

  If (sqrt x) = (floor sqrt x), then <action1>.
This means that if x is a perfect square, then performs <action1>.

...else <action2>
This means that if x is not a perfect square, then performs <action2>.

  and the point is ???????

  This is my newfound formula. This helps!

sqrt (x) = floor [sqrt (x)]

This is known as "Perfect Square Determinant".
