You are an assistant game designer working on a puzzle game.
In the game, tiles appear every few seconds, and sometimes a tile has a powerup.
The lead designer tells you to balance the game so that players see
5 powerups per game, on average.
Note: Not all of the numbers below are editable.
0) {
// draw a tile
$currentTime -= $frequency;
$totalTiles++;
// did we draw a powerup?
if (randFloat()*100 <= $chance) {
$totalPowerups++;
// possible to get into an infinite loop if time bonus is too high.
// that's OK - PHP page will bail eventually
$currentTime += $timeBonus;
$totalTime += $timeBonus;
}
}
}

echo round($totalPowerups/$trials, 1)." powerups. \n";
echo "After ".$trials." tries, each game had an average of ";
echo round($totalTiles/$trials, 1)." tiles. \n";
