First, there's a lot of backstory that really doesn't impact the game at all. There's a lot of talk about computers and bit consolidation, so I thought it might have something to do with writing in hexadecimal without making too big a number or something nerdy like that. I think just having one line of \"arrange like tiles in groups of 8 or more to score\" would have sufficed.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld42\/98247-b138cc5100edc6d09e2718683e1975c5.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/GnarlyNarwhal\/Ludum-Dare-42","text":"Source code"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1XMUZP49DxGE8KB5OEtUxoEArjhHcM4Ju","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"44899","g_author":"1007242","g_event":"LD42","g_eventkey":"73","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"242810","g_title":"Memory","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"98247","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"98247","n_urlkey":"242810","n_parent":"97793","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/42\/memory-1","n_slug":"memory-1","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"7242","n_created":"1531342551","n_modified":"1534137103","n_version":"323528","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":98247,"parent":97793,"superparent":9,"author":7242,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2018-08-13T00:06:32Z","created":"2018-07-11T20:55:51Z","modified":"2018-08-13T05:11:43Z","version":323528,"slug":"memory-1","name":"Memory","body":"## Premise\n\nThe year is 1534132376 since the epoch.
