Bubble Factor Calculator

I took that ICM Calculator that I wrote the other day and extended it to include a calculator for bubble factor found in Kill Everyone. For those who are not familiar it is a measure of how much it hurts to lose chips to another player in your tournament, specifically based on stack sizes. Assuming we have 3 variables containing the ICM calculated equity of each situation icm_start, icm_win, icm_lose the bubble factor is evaluated as: (icm_start - icm_lose) / (icm_win - icm_start) The code looks like such:

I know posting code screenshots sucks, but as far as I'm aware there are no code or pre tags for the DC blogs, but you know maybe I should test that instead of just assume. :P I also like the color scheme I'm using on vim though.

In any case I also got started on writing test cases for the equity function as well as the bubble_factor function.

Edit: I just found a bug in the code that I will fix tomorrow night. You can probably spot it in the screenshot, even if you're not a programmer.

New Watch

Well, like I said in my last post I've been focusing a lot on style lately as part of making my self feel better. Its been all about style, fitness, skills, and socializing for me so far. Today I bought a new watch, its called the Stiletto and you can see why. Its a minimalist, all black look as well as being an eco-drive. Its got an ultra thin profile, and the best part is I got it 35% off because the Jewelry store was closing down. (Yes I shopped around online first)

 

I'll also include a photo of me if for nothing else than to document appearance and dress style as things are changing with my wardrobe and fitness.
