How to make guided missiles using kOS!

[astropapi1]

After watching this video, you will perfectly understand how to guide a missile directly at it's destination. It can be done with just a few lines of code, and it's a perfect system for newbies!

Ok, I found a funny youtube video and this was my excuse for posting it here. Enjoy.

I don't know where I'm not...

[astropapi1]

But... where wasn't I?

0:41 lol.

I am not where I should be, but where I was previously. I am not where I wasn't and thus I must subtract where I am from where I wasn't.

Where the missile is not: Add-ons.

Where the missile is: off-topic lounge.

But by not being where it is, it now isn't a joke.

But by not being where it is, it now isn't a joke.

But it is where it isn't, and it isn't where it was, and where it was isn't the right place where it now is.

But it is where it isn't, and it isn't where it was, and where it was isn't the right place where it now is.

Well, by now being where it wasn't, the missile can then substract the current position by the position where it should be, and then proceed to divide the result by zero.

By completing that procedure, it now knows the number of unsuspecting visitors that will arrive to where it isn't instead of where it now is.

This is amazing!

Hmph. Missile's never gonna hit it's target. Instead of knowing where it is and subtracting where it isn't from where it should be it needs to add where it isn't to where it was multiplied by where it should be but isn't so then the missile knows it isn't where is should be and then it's where it wasn't but where it should be but not where it isn't, or where it wasn't.

Gah, I got drool in my keyboard.

P.S. This video is also in the Lazor thread.

I was hoping it was true

CONFUS

I was actually working on a KOS guided missile, might try it again.
