Slope
The slope a spaceship (more generally any moving object) with displacement (n, m) is the maximum of m and n divided by the minimum of m and n if both are non-zero, zero otherwise:
Hence, the slope of an orthogonal spaceship is 0; the slope of a diagonal spaceship is 1; the slope of a knightship is 2; etc.

gollark: Nobody complained that my hatchery's automatic remove-if-sick-or-has-too-many views feature "trivializes hatching stuff" or something. Interesting. I expected the forums to say silly things like that.
gollark: So many xenowyrms in the hatchery...
gollark: y e e p
gollark: This should help people asking "can I get X for Y?"
gollark: Another idea: running surveys to get people's views on the trading value of things.
