one my favorite game code tricks: Quake (1996) defined light styles with a simple string of alphabetic characters, with A as the brightest light value and Z as the darkest.
so style 5, "gentle pulse", is expressed as "jklmnopqrstuvwxyzyxwvutsrqponmlkj" while style 10, "fluorescent flicker", is "mmamammmmammamamaaamammma".

I'm pretty behind on my #WritingMonth project, but honestly that's okay. I'm trying to write something every day, no matter what, to keep up the habit, and if I end up with fewer pages than I hoped, that's okay.
