ARRAYS, Math and case select

[cainchild]

First off, thanks Sephiroths Spawn for the tutorial from Asylum, it helped me finger out how to add the base stats I needed....

IN ruby, is it faster to...

access from an array(which I cant figure out yet) for preexisting values

Do the math on the spot

Utilize a large select case statement for 8 base stats with about 5 subordinate stats beneath it...

The whole
ie
Case @actore.int
When > 50 and < 60
SP_Bon = 6
sp_damage_bonus = 24
Prim_projec_hit% = Prim_projec_hit% + 1
sp_recover = 2
Melee_Hit% = melee_hit% +1
When
WHEN
else
end

It all depends on what you are aiming for.

It looks like what you are doing, you are branching a certain operation depending on a stat. In this case, it would probably be easier to do a case statement.

Now, when you get into complicated math problems, and searching complex things, it is good to create a cache of your searches, to speed things up. If you want an example of this, check the Curve Generator module in my test bed v.4 in my signature. But in most cases, you don't need to do something like this.
