The Tower of Epiphany | Think Like A Coder, Ep 7

TL;DR

Ethic and Hedge navigate a tower by calculating energy basin capacities to reach the Node of Creation.

Transcript

Ethic and Hedge are on the ground floor of a massive tower. Barriers of energy separate them from their quest’s second goal: the Node of Creation. To reach it, Ethic must use three energy streams to climb the tower. As soon as she steps forward a timer will begin counting down from 60 seconds. At the back of the room there’s a basin made of in... Read More
