Drunken Bishop (2023)
- GolfPopper 1y agoIt's been a while but I can't get past the first image. I keep wanting to kill the orcs and grab all those spellbooks and gems, while keeping a wary eye on the elemental. (Although since this is obviously the Elemental Plane of Air, my ascension kit should let me handle it easily enough.)
- codeduck 1y agoTime to cast Dispel Evil
- p1necone 1y agoHow universal are roguelike character mappings? Is there some central bit of knowledge that all the developers refer to to decide whether 'b' should be a bear or a beholder?
- jtolmar 1y agoPunctuation characters tend to be pretty consistent; there's a few lineages of roguelikes that copy them from each other, and only a handful of things a given mark can mean. ! means potion Letters are almost always monsters, but which monsters are in which game is anyone's guess.

- dtgriscom 1y agoI see the theoretical need for such fingerprint displays, but I can't imagine noticing that the display for one of the computers I work with has changed. Maybe if I printed them all out and posted them around my monitor...
- ethan_smith 1y agoI've found setting an alias like `alias ssh='ssh -o VisualHostKey=yes'` makes these fingerprints appear on every connection, creating muscle memory for how they should look. When something changes, it immediately feels "off" without needing to remember specific patterns.
- starry_dynamo 1y agoI love being able to see the keys that are generated. Years ago I made a high res greyscale version of the drunken bishop: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/justintrupiano/RSA-Randomart-4k/refs/heads/master/8192.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/justintrupiano/RSA-Randoma...
- mrjbq7 1y agoThat's pretty cool, do you have the algorithm described anywhere?
- starry_dynamo 1y agohttps://github.com/justintrupiano/RSA-Randomart-4k https://github.com/justintrupiano/RSA-Randomart-4k Forgive the 6 year-ago-me Processing code. It used an increase in the color value instead of iterating through characters like the original.
- bubblebeard 1y agoI am at a loss for words. This is simply an amazing read. Thank you for supplying me with this information.
- jakobnissen 1y agoThe visualisation makes it hard to see changes near the end of the string, which makes it a bad visualisation for verifying cryptographic hashes.
- Thorrez 1y agoWith cryptographic hashes, partial collisions are easier than full collisions, but still difficult. But yes, it's unfortunate that Drunken Bishop provides different amounts of protection for bits in different locations. Ideally the protection would be equal among all the bits.
- pointlessone 1y agoThese visualisations are so bland I can’t tell them apart. I mean, if looking at two side by side than sure, but if I look at them like every other day at best I can’t tell if anything has changed.
