@rostiger omg, this is adorable, and educative. I love this!!
I always thought the uxn mouth would sort of be within the slit that opens between the eyes.

@neauoire haha, yeah I was unsure how I would make that work with eating and didn't to think about it too long. ^^
@cblgh @neauoire lololol... yes, the big round things with the goat-like pupils are the eyes. The slit inbetween them is the 'mouth'. The little thin lines above the 'eyes' and below the ears and horns are the eyebrows XD...
Either way, @rostiger doesn't matter. Your interpretation of this design is SOOOO freakin' cute.
@rostiger @neauoire ohhh i can't wait to see your Varvara :D :D :D

@rostiger Hmm, I learned a thing! I always thought 4 bits was a nybble.
@rostiger this is such a good explanation of the basics of binary! and your little drawings of the uxn animal are so cute :3
@flbr Thanks, that motivates to make more! :)
@rostiger please do, I can totally see this as a little zine or something for the basics of binary math and/or uxn!
No pressure of course, but if you do continue to make them I'll absolutely make myself a little hard copy :D
@rostiger
Very nice and very cute
It seems to be the little-endian version
@GuyMarty I don't think I know the reference, can you elaborate?
@rostiger
Wikipedia will explain it better than I ever could

@rostiger in contexts that aren’t “C-like programming languages”, they are called words, not shorts, at least on Intel platforms, and a 4-byte integer is a double-word. in Pascal there is even a data type called a Word.
@rostiger if you want to be technical about it, 64 bits is the “word length” of the x64 platform.
there really isn’t any standard way of speaking of integer sizes other than stating the bits. not even the C short is guaranteed to be 16 bits on all platforms.
@thor Interesting, thanks for the puzzle piece. I've seen it being used like that elsewhere and was wondering about it. I'll stick with this nomenclature though since that is how it's used in the documentation.

@rostiger this is delightful ⭐️
