'the hunt for ben solo' was denied by disney, probably bc it would cheapen his sacrifice in the movies
BUT, they could do a hunt for ben solo in the force-space or w/e, e.g. trying to contact his ghost. it could be ethereal, spiritual.

still in yahtzeeland. here's the new binary format for saving gameplay in the smallest possible size.
there are 13 turns, and we get 3 rolls per turn.
as before we save an id that represents the 5 dice, 3 times.
in the final 2 rolls we save 5 newly rolled flags so we can know which dice are new.

i'd need a lookup table of 13! 6,227,020,800 entries, with each record holding 4 bits * 13, 7 bytes each. 41 gigs of ram.

it's a lot like the binary format but i throw out which dice are new rolled at a given turn.
so it's 8 bits + 8 bits + 8 bits + 4 bits, 13 times. a 364 bit number.

yahtzeeland. my ai isn't all that great, but i like the gameplay file formats, i've developed. the first one is human readable, and the second is binary.
the idea is that these formats can record gameplay but also provide everything necessary to play it back (replay).

when a company likes antrhopic announces they're 'going public' you have to ask why they're willing to share in the profits if they've in fact created money making idea
