00:00 <Lumindia> my current stockpile

00:00 <Schism> Not bad so far.

00:00 <Lumindia> I have a shopping list of materials

00:00 <Lumindia> this list will get ARM, CRP, WVR, and ALC to 70

00:00 <Lumindia> err, 80

00:01 <Schism> Noice.  o3o

00:03 <LunaticHell> Somehow alc always ends on my shopping list, too

00:03 <LunaticHell> Diluted in liquor

00:04 <Jackie> Thought you're talking about Magic there, Lumindia.

00:04 <Lumindia> MTG?

00:04 <Schism> LunaticHell, Noita is evil, by the way.  "Okay, so I've got a wand that fires off five spells at once.  Let's add some sawblades and see what happens."  And that's when I got cut in twain by a flaming, rebounding sawblade.

08:49 * Cepheid decodes more game data.

08:52 * Cepheid is using tonight to experiment.

09:06 <Cepheid> So, interesting bit.

09:07 <Cepheid> There's a 4-byte integer which, from the start of a new save file, counts from 0 upwards.

09:07 <Ali> That SC2 is boring as hell due to is GO GO GO mechancis

09:07 <Ali> My god, how did I typo that so much

09:07 <Cepheid> Heh.

09:08 <Cepheid> The counter increments rapidly from 0, up to 587C7(362,439 decimal), then just... stops incrementing.

09:08 <Cepheid> And to make matters weirder,  if you try to set it above that, the game, for once, resets the value upon loading.

09:08 <Cepheid> If it's set to any value above 362,439, it's reset to 362,439, and never increments further.

09:09 <Cepheid> There is nothing in the game's UI that might indicate what it's for.

09:10 <Ali> You know I don't understand anything you're saying

09:11 <Cepheid> Yes.

09:12 <Cepheid> But here's the kicker.

09:12 <Cepheid> You don't understand what I'm saying, but what I'm saying?  I'm just saying that I don't understand something.

09:12 <Cepheid> So we're both in the same boat, effectively.  Just in different parts.

09:13 <Cepheid> I'm thinking it's just a number used to help randomize the dice rolls.

09:14 <Cepheid> Computers are not truly random.

09:14 <Cepheid> Can certainly do our best to make it look like they are, though.

09:15 <Cepheid> Number generators are designed such that their results are close to uniform over a range.  That is, with a six-sided dice, the chance of getting any one value is 1/6th.  Unfortunately, due to the nature of attempting to make things random, and how the various algorithms of random number generators are, this uniformity is not exact.

09:16 <Cepheid> For example, in reality, it may be that a 1 has a 1/7th chance of happening, while a 2 has a 1/5th chance of happening, and so on, and so on.

09:16 <Cepheid> The other half of the problem is that they're deterministic.  The numbers aren't actually random.

09:18 <Cepheid> If you set up a trivial random nunmber generator, and then roll a six-sided dice once, you get 2.  Roll again, 5.  Roll again, 1.  Doesn't appear to have any noticeable pattern, but here's where the fun starts.  If the number generator is trivial enough, and you "reset it", you'll get the same sequence of values.  2, 5, 1, etc.

09:19 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-8q0glj.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)

09:19 <Cepheid> This is because in a computer, variables are initialized to default values.  Those default values will always be the same, etc.

09:20 <Cepheid> For random number generators, the only way around it is to use some sort of changing data as a default value.

09:20 <Cepheid> Most RNGs are usually set up by time, since time is always ever moving forward.  The time variable is always incrementing, and it's usually set with a value for the current real-world time.  So between computer reboots, and as the computer is running, it will always provide new values.  To a degree.

09:21 <Cepheid> Access the time frequently enough in a short time frame, and you might actually get the same value back multiple times.

09:21 <Cepheid> Depends on how often the time updates per second.
