Gotcha. IMHO, cash provides a number of functions where f(x) = security, privacy, or physical partitioning. And those are valuable! For functions where f(x) is something one would want to program or automate in the digital realm of money, t

Really cool project! Loaded up Gauntlet and was able to start the game but saw a lot of artifacts after my warrior moved across the screen. Did the ROM have some dust on it like my old Gauntlet cartridge? Hehe.

Sure, more important things to do. But isn't a minimal change to a plethora of formulas that simplifies things worth consideration? How far are you along the circumference of a circle? Or what's this angle in radians? Isn't

Actually, that'd be one Pi but half Tau! Ha!!
