A Quinquagesimal code is a
base 50 number meaning instead
of using 10 symbols like the
decimal system it uses 50 so
instead of:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
it uses:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J
K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j
k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t
this enables each digit in the
code to represent both a vertical
collumn and a blocktype
blue: you
black: indestructable blocks
magenta: breakable block
red: hunters
yellow: snipers
cyan: cowboy
each blocktype has a different set of
characters that tells the computer what
position to place the block. the
use of character set then enables
the computer to work out the respective
blocktype
these are the characters sets and their corresponding blocktype:
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 correspond to black blocks,
A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J correspond to magenta blocks,
K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T correspond to red blocks
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j correspond to yellow blocks,
and k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t correspond to cyan blocks
although the original position of red blocks doesnt
matter because they move anyway
so therefore code 0AKak would build the level
