1-TICK ARCHDAEMON This Archdaemon is responsible for Daemons that cast once each tick, keeping their stacks each cast. It achieves this by saving the Daemon's hex in a list containing its stack. As with all other Archdaemons, it stores these in a dedicated focus the Archdaemon points to. Use case e...

Daemon Cores have undergone many changes in the past few months, and I thought 0.11.4's release would be a good opportunity to upload an updated guide. WHY USE A DAEMON CORE? Before starting to explain anything, let me explain what a daemon is for those who are not in the know. A Daemon is a backgro...

Hex Delegate Archdaemon: Tier 2 Summary This is a more complicated version of the original Hex Delegate Archdaemon. It is however significantly more powerful, safer and more intuitive to use. You can think of it as a tier up, if you're willing to go through the effort. If not, I recommend making th...

Enqueue Archdaemon Yes, I'm copying the name. Summary The Enqueue Archdaemon allows for delayed hexes. Saving a hex along with its intended delay will start a counter that goes down every tick.

A daemon is a background hex that continuously evaluates every a se...

I spent a little while wondering about ways to optimize out the removal of that duplicate context iota, while not causing a memory leak in the process. I finally figured it out; since directly evaluating a jump iota causes a replacement of the current evaluation frame, can we not use this to "r...

Yes! That was one of my ideas, too. By embedding a dictionary within the payload and using the first argument as the key (maybe a pattern, a la Akasha's Distillation), you could implement multiple instance methods. The initial state of the internal context can be treated as the argument list to its ...

When I came back to Hex Casting, my first warm-up hex was a quine. I ended up on the following solution: Introspection Consideration Bookkeeper: - Hermes Gambit Consideration Bookkeeper: - Numerical Reflection: 4 Prospector Gambit Surgeon Exaltation Retrospection (note: I exclusively use considerati...
