@mdiluz@mastodon.gamedev.place @aslakr@mastodon.social it’s not that scary once you find out it is just T or F in NY, NJ, or CT.

@mdiluz@mastodon.gamedev.place Compile a Karnaugh map and you'll use three possibilities for each binary value, to optimize an output 😜

@mdiluz@mastodon.gamedev.place This reads like a note you find in a lab in a sci-fi horror game.
