Quadratic Function Trouble

Sat, 31 Oct 2020 23:58:19 UTC

This function is supposed to return a point on a quadratic function, but it doesn't work right.

function launch(h,v,t)
return -(v*t^2)/h^2+(2*t*v)/h
end

Whenever I call this:

for i=0,80 do
pset(i,launch(40,40,i),8)
end

It appears like this:

Did I do something wrong, or is this a fault of how Pico-8 works?

You are a satellite tasked with scanning a foreign planet. Travel through the data ring hotspots while avoiding the planet’s meteor showers, asteroid belts, and electric discharges.

Controls: Hold Z to fly in the inner ring and X to fly on the outer one. You orbit faster when you are closer to the planet and slower when you are further away. Use that to your advantage!
