I don’t care what they say. Out of hundreds of decks, most of the Blue decks faro smoothly once broken in. I’ve had maybe a handful of Red decks that be made to faro as well as the Blue decks.

I’m not afraid to try (I’ve done SMD soldering before) but some of these parts are plastic components with 0.2mm pitch pins. Melting is a real risk.

Hey Dallas peeps - I’m in need of a reflow oven for a custom circuit board. Does anybody know where I can rent/borrow/use one? I’ve checked a couple marker spaces and an electronics rental shop, but no luck so far.

Not a crazy idea. It is a common tactic in copy-protected programs to validate, via a hash or checksum, that the program hasn’t been modified/cracked.

@RichardGarriott - Ultima ][ was the game that inspired me to get into game development. I was 15. I shipped my first title when I was 19. Now, 35 years later, I’m still making games.
Congratulations on your defeat of Exodus, the last of the triad of evil. Now we seek one who will walk the paths of virtue. Not through some alter ego character, but as themself, their avatar, to become the avatar of virtue. I say that thou art worthy! Onward to Ultima IV! Lord British

I wanna share some neat numbers I use all the time and what I use them for. Starting with sqrt(0.5), 0.7071... The point on a circle at 45 degrees is at (r*hr, r*hr) where r=radius and hr=sqrt(0.5). To rotate 45 degrees, you can use this 2x2 matrix: mat2(hr, -hr, hr, hr)
