Fishing in Fortnite: decoding the Algorithm
For example, thermal fish give players a short competitive advantage by allowing them to have a thermal view, which allows spotting other players in the surrounding, even behind buildings. To understand how Fortnite generates fishes, I will need to estimate the right probability distribution function used to generate fishes, then convert it into code to simulate the same fish generator. The first choice I had in mind for the fish distribution was a lognormal distribution. The majority of the fish sizes would have been clustered around average size. However, finding the perfect tuning to create a lognormal distribution with a peak on 35/40 and an upper limit of 100 has proven challenging: the more I play with the parameters, the more the distribution mimics a normal distribution.
