XP Table Example.

I'm trying to add a level up system to my game, and I'm looking for a XP formula example which makes it harder to level as you gain levels.

I've tried all sort of things, either it says my Level is Infinity or NaN.

I can fill in all the parameters myself, I just need a template of a working xp progression.

I tried exponential curve wiki page, that didn't wokr, lol.

1

2

3

5

8

13

21

..

add last two values together. Been using this for YEARS.

Also you can use exponential to level

1 = 1

2 = 4

3 = 9

4 = 16

5 = 25

been using this one for a while too.

It's important to determine your range. Higher levels best use linear increases. less level should use curved increases.

So I have a global variable XP and global variable Level.

I want generate a formula which calculates the XP needed for a specific level exponentially, so I don't have to input each level manually, and just in-case I choose to add more levels in later, it would be easier.

I've tried Int((XP/250)^Level), which caused the Level to be set to Infinity.

Basically, I want to create a formula that specifies a growth rate, and calculates my xp needed per level based on that.

Doesn't Level^Level work ?

You could do the base Xp and multiply that by the current level ...

BaseXP : 10 ; Level: 5

Xp needed ... 50

Okay. I have setup a formula to calculate and increase you level every set amount of exp.

I also have a XpNeeded and a LastXpNeeded globals.

Want I want to know is, how do I set my LastXpNeeded to the last value before Xpneeded changed.

For example. I'm level 5, my XpNeeded is...lets say 500, I level up to level 6, and it becomes 600.

At this point I want XpNeeded to equal 600, and LastXPNeeded to equal 500 (that last value of Xpneeded)
