there are just bout four preset layouts of the cards.
It’s 8 different layouts, but yes, they are only a few of them. The funny thing is that they are not hardcoded, but the result of a buggy implementation of an algorithm that could have generated millions of different layouts. The specific assembly code is explained line by line on the video.
They’re pretty cool, it’s like Tumblr but made by people who seemingly care about making something good. One of the first things you see in their homepage is
algorithm? what algorithm?
all your follows’ posts, in the order they were posted, in a timeline that goes vertically. clear and effective moderation done by humans.
They’re not federated but I still think they’re worth taking a look into.
I just skip the roulette games. If you know how to get stars on the end-of-level cards every time (be running with a full P-meter when the card comes on-screen and hit it on the left-hand side) you’ll be drowning in extra lives anyway.
I think there’s more to the coin ship, that unfortunately isn’t covered in the article. I know for a fact that the hammer bro on the World 1 map turns into a coin ship if you finish 1-1 with 55 coins AND end the level with time remaining being an odd number.
