OK, since you guys are being such smarta$$e$... sorry, it's really my fault. Revised rules:
No trig functions. I want to see the *real* way that the sin function is calculated. Go out and Google it to see if you can find the real way.
The reason I don't want people posting code is because once someone finds the *real* way then everyone else is gonna just rip it.
Wait, no... I forgot.
I am rating this challenge through an arbitary method where each entry gains "challenge points". This simply means that if you submit a good entry, you will gain many challenge points, and if you submit something bad you won't gain as many. The measure is *completely* arbitary, so don't go submitting something really bad loads of times to try to get heaps of points. In any event, you can now post code here, but do it quick cos the actual formula is worth loads of challenge points.
Toonski84 is the leader, he submitted the code that made me realise that the challenge rules wern't up to scratch. But it works so he has 3 challenge points, he is winning.
ps: alternatively, you can submit code to me, I will review it and tell you how much you get, and your method stays secret. However, you risk someone else finding the formula and displaying it to the world and gaining big points if you do this.
Once again, sorry about the rules. Now get posting!
