 It's a script I wrote that downloads and configures MTG-forge, the free and
 open source version of Magic. It's a little old, a little jank, but you get
 all the cards for free. All the way up to the most current expansions.
 
 Multiplayer is a bit harder than Arena, I think it's bugged or something, but
 it's great for testing out decks against a computer. If I like one then I'll
 usually buy it to play with my IRL friends.

 Wowchat - wow-chat : dks should summon more than one minion a'la cov. There
 should be two beefy armored skeletons, three rabid hack/slash, and one
 necromancer or lich, depending on if they've died since you last cast the
 summon spell. You should be able to move them around with keyboard commands.
 They should be your primary action type, aside from dark purple bolts that sap
 health, often targeting the nearest ally in need of health to the target. How
 much health? Doesn't matter, it'll target them just the same. So long as they
 have at least some missing.
 
 Could also cast dark hexes or boons. Boom, three talent trees: dark volts,
 support spells (never healing), or curses (never damage dealing)
 
 But remember, most of what you do is targeting your allies.
 
 Drag, drop, now a target gets [inspirationed, but pronounced "healed"]
 
 Alternatively, move "attack my target" to the minion type and they'll do as
 you move. "go-to". "circle this target and attack intruders". "go man the
 nethermines". "yes... YES! More monsters i know how to raise. They're all
 accessible at level 10 but they cost more each than a level whatever
 adventurer could afford. You can definitely get all of them by like, level 30
 or so. After that its learning ranks to raise higher level ones, and boom free
 undead army risen from the bones of your ally's slain."
 
 ... Anyway, could be fun to briefly possess one of your bones. Could let you
 see what the flag carrier is up to in WSG. Could let you know when enough
 minerals have been mined that you can operate the forgets and build metal
 armor for your boned ones. Or to equip nearby recruits, anything you'd like.
 This is wow-chat after all, any things possible. Anything at all.

    train the ai from the perspective of the game master. the one who arbites
 the rules. whose word is law, and the rules of the game are then given. the one
 who deals the cards, who picks the game, who hosts and brings snacks... you
 know, the reason the game exists at all.
 
 take star realms - there are actually three players in that game. player 1,
 player 2, and the invisible third player who plays the role of "chance". who
 decides the cards to play? is it random, or is it weighted? perhaps with enough
 oomph that a whole player was designed for that role.
 
 but how would they be scored? what kind of game is theirs to play?
 
    choosing the board is such a fun role, like designing a story or helping
 with chores. you're building something special, unique and so charmed.

═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────────
 the cardgame "war" except a deckbuilding game. each player requires a regular
 deck of cards and a deck of tarot cards (optional) - the tarot cards act the
 same way that spirit cards work in Spirit Island - basically they define the
 rules for your particular character. Anyway, everyone starts by building their
 own trade row out of their deck of cards. Then, they deal themselves 6 cards -
 the three highest diamonds and the lowest spade, heart, and club.
 
 well, might want to do 2s of every card type. heart, club, spade, and diamond.
 
 here are the rules.
 
 play area is set up by players placing all four of their cards down face up.
 trade row is set up by players taking turns placing a card and the opponent
 mirroring them. whenever a player reveals a card and updates the trade row,
 the opponent must reveal the same card and set that as their trade row as well.
 the trade row has no maximum size, but if a player has more than 6 in their
 trade row then they don't update a new one when buying a card.
 
 players alternate playing a single card face up into their play area.
 these cards stay in play and activate every turn until they are destroyed.
 
 hearts   are your life points. if you ever run out of life, you die.
 clubs    block damage and act as a renewable shield between you and your enemy.
 diamonds are currency, and can be used in more than one way.
 spades   deal damage, first to clubs, then to other spades, then to hearts.
 
 diamonds, on your turn, can be used in three ways: spent and sent to the
 discard
 pile in order acquire a card from the trade row, or discarding itself from the
 play area to play an extra card from your deck of equal or lesser value.
 
 on a player's turn, they may play a single card from their deck (their choice)
 on a player's turn, all their active spades deal damage to other player's cards
 if a spade destroys a heart card, it is removed from the game. All other cards
 are placed in the discard pile. The owner of the spade may pick their targets.
 
 a spade deals damage equal to it's number and destroys any card with equal or
 lesser value. these destroyed cards go into the player's discard pile, and each
 turn the player may pick one from their deck to play onto the board. if the
 deck
 is empty, the discard pile becomes the new deck. The player may organize their
 deck however they'd wish, but care must be taken as to the timing of when they
 play each card as they'll need to play all of them before they can replay any 
 destroyed cards. a tactical opponent will take advantage of that.

 a D&D rulebook can double as tarot if you need it. place one hand/bookmark       │
 at the start of a chapter, and the other at the end. flip to a page randomly,    │
 or randomly gain a percentage value from physical objects and then use that      │
 value to determine roughly where in the chapter you jump to. then, read words    │
 randomly, jumping back and forth, or try and divine some meaning from the        │
 words that are printed there. with D&D it's easy because you can say "ah I       │
 landed on the rogue section, that means this guy is probably pretty suave"       │
 (confirming your expectations) "hmmm, here's the rules for fatigue and           │
 drowning. maybe I need to take a break." (validating your unconscious            │
 decisionmaking) "oh neat, treasure!" (needs to explanation) but with other       │
 kinds of books it's usually better to pick the next-best word from the things    │
 your subconscious eyes can take in and process multi-laterally (you lost your    │
 audience, circle back) oh uh so if you wanna randomize it just put the words     │
 in the page in an array and pick one random.                                     │
(you lost your audience, circle back) oh uh so if you wanna randomize it just put the words in the page in an array and compare llm embeddings on each of them and see which has the highest score. this is a language-based truth serum, a way of divining exactly how something is seen to be by the model in use and mixed with a dash of randomized causality.

 If you have numbers, envelop your foes.
 
 If you are elite, pierce to their heart.
 
 If you only have numbers, give your commanders bodyguards.
 
 If you only have elite, become undiscoverable.
 
 EDIT:
 If you are fast, hit from the side.
 
 if you are only fast, keep them just out of sight.
 
 If you are strong, deal crushing blows
 
 if you are only strong, you no longer have any foes.

 Is my formatting pretty or does it make you angry?
screenshots of C and Lua code that have strange formatting. The style is designed such that the readers eyes "flow" across the code like the gradual descent of water down a sloping riverbed, following a logical progression from top left to bottom right (generally) while returning to the left side whenever a new operation is performed or something is repeated.  This particular picture is of a simple if check:  if a creature's rank is equal to "four" or "two", then the creature is a rare monster type. Otherwise, they are not a rare monster type. Lua code to determine whether or not a character in a video game is available to be ambushed by a randomly generated monster.  There are several checks applied, checking things like "is the character sitting down" or "are they underwater", in which case a message is printed to the log and no further action is taken.  If all of the checks pass, and the character is free to be ambushed, then it runs the "spawnAndAttackPlayer()" function. A long string of "if" statements checking whether individual bits in a very small data structure are set. There's nine of them total, and they are arranged in a grid - this project was for a tic-tac-toe game, where there are nine total squares to play in. Setting up some location variables for a player unit. It starts by setting an X, Y, Z, and O for orientation value to a player's current location. Then it steps through and sets them to more accurate values. The reason for this ordering is so that if the function to find the more accurate value fails, it can fall back on the player's current location instead.  The interesting formatting is due to the layout of the "set" operations - they are ordered in a two dimensional grid rather than a top-to-bottom list like how most people would organize it.
