The algorithm behind the calorie counter.

[kyubic]

Does anyone know where I can get information on the workout mode's calorie counter? More specifically, I'd like to know how the counter works and the algorithm it uses to come out with the (usually very whacky) calories burnt information and such.

Thanks!

I'd like to know this too! I've been searching for ages but all I get is a bunch of random unsupported numbers and equations that dont make sense.

More specifically I'd like to know the equivalent of ddr to jogging/walking (IE: how far you walked/what speed/what time/calories burned)

i hear the home version does this but id like to know the equation so i can do it at the arcade since thats what i prefer

While I don't know any of the equations or methods used for their calorie counter, I do know that there is no way to convert this to a real amount of calories burned.

The problem is that it varies greatly between players. A newbie who is playing 8s or 9s and has bad form will burn many more calories than an experienced player who can play those all day without getting tired.

Your best bet is probably to count it as a sort of "generic cardio" or something and estimate based on how long you played for.
