RE: SIZE DIFFERENT - anna Acanthus - 11-13-2013 01:09 AM
Thanks Liri
Although i was keeping tabs on all my teacups and toys for a good while up untill 2013 and two of my families actually were producing sizes more often, and others, never; if KCR officially says they are totally random i guess thats it.
As the pattern was there i didn't really try to imagine any other factors which could've contributed.

Thanks Liri, that's pretty clear.
And thank you gals for the welcome.

I would still be curious to know if it still holds true. Since we have brought up the subject and seen all these updates and the major one with introducing the petite, bigger de big, and megapuss. Liri if you find it I am interested to know what was said, if at the time it wasn't or if they would not put the coding into do it.

If it's a simple non-referring (to a any other variable in the KC! database system) randomizer, then changing an update to include petites, BdB and Megapusses would be a simple matter of changing a single line of code:
If it previously looked something like this: (and I have no idea about the size distribution proportions)
Roll electronic dice d100:
If result = 1-5 > teacup
If result = 6-10 > toy
If result = 11- 100 > normal
and then you do an update to add BdB and Megapusses (this is just an example - I know they weren't added in that order)
Roll electronic dice d100:
If result = 1-5 > teacup
If result = 6-10 > toy
If result = 11-15 > petite
If result = 16-90 > normal
If result = 91-95 > bigger de big
If result = 96-100 > Megapuss.
It's really just one line of code (or a few small short ones).
Now there's another piece of folklore out there that says that you don't get a Megapuss until after you have 100 cats, or you have 100 live cats.
IF they can query other things in the database structure for the algorithm... it would have be be some kind of subroutine which would function like:
If result= 96-100 > Megapuss then see [User#] and check [Total number of cats in pedigree].
If [Total number of cats in pedigree] > 100, then Megapuss
If [Total number of cats in pedigree] < 100, then Normal.
So the question becomes, does the randomization query other fields in the KittyCats! database.

I'm pretty sure that at least is not true, because I got a MegaPuss the other day and I counted my cats and I definitely have less than 100, even counting boxes and my son's kitties.

but if I wanted to partner normal with teacup, is it possible?

Yes, you can partner any two cats that are of opposite genders. Even a MegaPuss with a Teacup

Hmmm....pretty interesting concept there. If this is accurate, then I can see why I got so many megapusses on my other avatar because I had over 300 kitty boxes and breeded about 40 kitties at the same time. With my current avi, I only have about 100 kitty boxes and I have have gotten bigger de big, petite, and toy for sizes. I would like to test try this theory.
RE: SIZE DIFFERENT - Ivy Norsk - 11-15-2013 09:11 AM
Well, Ylva has given us a datapoint that suggests - more than suggests - that the theory is false:
Quote:I'm pretty sure that at least is not true, because I got a MegaPuss the other day and I counted my cats and I definitely have less than 100, even counting boxes and my son's kitties.
I'd still like to know if any of KittyCats!' algorithms query other database fields. It might have other implications.
