Deckbuilder UNO v2.0
This new UNO deckbuilder uses the 20 colors from UNO Ultimate Insanity (see here), plus some features from my previous version.
The starter deck features 120 cards:
- One of each card 0 to 20, Hashtag (matches any number), and Ace (matches either 1 or 10) in each of four colors (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)
- Two of each card per color: +2, -2, Skip, Reverse
- 8 Regular Wilds and 8 Wild +4
- 4 Custom Wilds
And you can get these extra cards from opening booster packs (12 cards per pack):
- Numbers 21 to 25 and negative numbers.
- The other 16 colors' cards.
- Flex Colors and Actions.
- Square Root Cards (√2, √3, √5, √6, √7, 2√2, √10, √11, 2√3, √13) - Matches with any of its four colors and any number that it lies between. Discard another card when played.
- Imaginary Cards (i to 10i) - Same as Square Root Card (4 colors), but it matches its real coefficient instead of the two numbers it lies between. When played, draw one card.
- A bunch of other actions (Colored +1, +3, +4, +5, and +6, ReverSkip, Double Skip, Discard All, Reverse Draw, Speed Number Cards, Stack, Swap, Tens Play Again, NO U, Shield, etc.)
- Irrational number cards (pi, e, phi, tau) - Matches with any of the two numbers that it lies between.
- Wild action cards (x2, /2, Swap Hand, Refresh Hand, ++2, ++4, +f(x) (decide f(x) and x), +x (roll the D20 to decide), UNO!, Number Tornado, etc.)
- Draw/Dare cards
- The legendary +15. Its color is red. There can only be one of these in a deck.
- Variable X, which you roll a D20 and a D5 before playing to decide its value (because a D25 doesn't exist).
- Wild Draw Hand, which makes you draw a hand. (For example, Wild Draw Royal Flush gives you 3 action cards, an Ace, and either a 20 or 25.)
- Loot Boxes, which make you search the deck and look for the required number of cards which you want. Starts at 4 for Silver (1 star), then doubles with each added star up to 4 (Astatine).
Exactly a million points
EXACTLY a million points. Not something you see every day.
This is how a hydra works. First, we define 5 variables:
i - the initial number of heads.
h - the current number of heads.
r - the number of heads that grow back for each one chopped.
k - the number of heads chopped off.
a - the number of iterations.
If r is equal to 1, then the Hydra does not gain any heads because net change is equal to zero.
If r is more than 1 then you cut off k heads, then net change is equal to (r-1)k. For example, you cut off 2 heads, then 2 heads grow back for each one cut off, then the net change is 2(2-1) = 2. If you cut off 3 heads, then net change is 3(2-1) = 3.
This only applies if k is any value from 1 to h-1.
If k is equal to i (if h = i) or h, then the regrowth function changes from +(k(r-1)) to h * (r^a). If h is in itself a power of r, then take log base r of h and add that to a.
So if a Hydra starts with 4 heads and grows 2 heads for each one cut off. log2(2) = 4, so the regrowth function becomes 2^a+2. So for the start, 2^(0+2) = 4 heads (since there was no iteration made), then for the first iteration (a=1), 2^(1+2) = 8 heads.
