Level System

[Kazz]

I have not been on here in a while and i have here a system of when the player is supposed to level up. I have the level times 800 times the level. When the levels are low its perfect but when the player hits a high level, lets say 100, i want the levels to be spread further apart, the exp needed to go from level 99 to 100 is 159,200. So basically what i am saying is i need help with better number.

Current formula: $exp_needed = $level * 800* $level

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. By the way its been 1 year since i have been coding and working on my game at the end of October, i know how to code pretty well but the math, i am not the greatest.

Here's a script i made before. Produces pretty good results.

Code: Select all

$exp_needed = floor( ($level/2) * pow( floor(($level*8)) , 4));
 

produces this:

Code: Select all

[Kazz]

Thank you so much. That helps.

[Kazz]

In the

Code: Select all

$exp_needed = floor( ($level/2) * pow( floor(($level*8)) , 4));

What does the , 4 do?

[Ark]

It's in the power of 4, like x^4

pow(4, 2) = 16

[Kazz]

That makes sense.
