- meritt 13y agoSame way you convert one-character hex to binary. Then you simply do it again.
- SimeVidas 13y agoAh of course. I forgot :-)
- Workaphobia 13y agoI didn't look at the game, but converting from hex to binary is easy since one of those bases is a power of the other. It's a 16-entry lookup table, but just like memorizing the multiplication table, there are easy-to-remember patterns. The fact that there are two digits just means to do it twice and concatenate the results (padding to 4 bits first).
- hcarvalhoalves 13y agoTips to convert fast: 1. Remember each digit is 4 bits, you can solve separately E1 -> E 1 -> 1110 0001 2. Solve as even then just flip the last bit for odd
