Re: the Imperial Mint Firebirds question
ah I found it in the Player's Companion book.<P>The Firebird is actually made to be broken up into halves-Crests and quarters-Wings.<P>I guess after you break them up its pretty much broken?<P>Apparently every House and the Fiefs there within mint their own currencies... Criticorum is supposed to ha...

yeah that's the way I initially saw it...the League eventually ends up with all of the Firebirds...the League pretty much does all of the trading. <P>They go to one world give a peasant 1 firebird for his goods and sells him for two firebirds of someone else's goods.<P>Eventually the peasant runs ou...

the Imperial Mint Firebirds question
eh...I ran across this interesting paradox.<P>The Imperial Mint on B2 is the only place in the Known Worlds that can mint Firebirds. You need a cyclotron and a rare alloy found only on B2 to make them. The Mint has been shut-down since Vladimir's death..and Alexis has just started with the idea of m...

Re: What is your favorite house?
For Role-playing in spec with FS..the Decados are the most fun, normally though I just like to free-style a House into something that it traditionally is not.<P>Playing in FS role..the al-Malik are too hard..all that flower speak and such. The Li Halan are fun when you play with a Japanese Silk and ...

Re: Graphics programming
The demos under the ExoticaX .dll are the ones to run for the checking the FPS rate for your particular machine...mine tops off at 60 fps...a fairly good rate for moving bitmaps. GeForce 2 and AMD 1ghz.<P>Remember though that the goal of using Euphoria in this context is that you want to re-build EF...

Re: Fading Suns II
On the subject of making a bin convertor program-<P>it would never amount to anything productive. A .bin to a program is just a one byte after the next..EE EE E0..while you can easily know the difference in values..it is near impossible to program something that can determine what a coherent image i...
