Notes
- Lavery, Ships of the Line, vol. 1, p. 160.
gollark: You clearly need to make it more hacky.
gollark: You should make it also randomly segfault.
gollark: Use Amulet, by writing a C to Amulet compiler.
gollark: I'm sure there are more space-efficient approaches - you're just storing presence/non-presence of blocks, right?
gollark: Maybe just store your data more efficiently.
