Clever Hans
Makes horses actually useful by turning them into calculators.
About this Mod
horse named calculator
How to use the mod: - Approach a horse. - Say "Horse!" in chat to get its attention. - While you have the horse's attention, ask it a math problem. Examples: - Calculate the sum of 5 and 3! - Calculate the product of 4 and 7.3! - Calculate 2 to the power of 10! - Calculate the cube root of 81! (👀) - The horse will stomp for a bit and then give you your result.
Your message must have proper capitalization and include an exclamation point at the end.
Currently supported operations:
Basic arithmetic:
- sum (+)
- product (*)
- difference (-)
- quotient (/)
- power (a to the power of b)
Roots:
- square root (2nd root)
- cube root (3rd root)
- nth root (4th, 5th, etc.)
Trigonometry:
- sine, cosine, tangent
- arcsine / inverse sine
- arccosine / inverse cosine
- arctangent / inverse tangent
- ! You can specify deg or rad after the number (ex: "Calculate the inverse cosine of 0.5 rad!"), but if you do not, it will default to degrees.
- ! Just saying "sin", "cos", "tan", "asin", "acos", and "atan" instead of their fully spelled-out counterparts will not work.
If a horse can't produce a valid response (i.e. you inputted an incorrect number of arguments, you attempted to asin/acos a number greater than 1 or less than -1, you requested an invalid operation etc.), it will explode.
