RL's Notes - FLIP
What I do is start with String-1 and run through the flip options from 0 to 5.
I study the way the game has gone in the history and kind of get an idea on how many I think will flip.
Many times I see more than one value that looks good so what I do is, lets say that a flip of 2 or 3 looks most likely.
That means that for pick-3 there will be 2 or 3 that repeat.
My goal is to set the flip/repeat/wild values to allow for a flip of 2 or 3.
If we don't watch what we are doing it's easy to rule out certain combinations.
Again, lets say we set 2 flips and 2 repeat values.
The program will then allow lines with 2 or 3 total flips to pass.
However, if we don't set or string values to allow both then it's like setting the flip to a single value instead of allowing it to have some wiggle room.
Most of the time I will then back off the flip value completely and let the strings control the lines generated.
I think it's somewhere around 65% of the games will have either a flip of 2 or 3.
Not sure as it's been awhile since I checked but it's close.
Think about what you need to do with the strings to make sure your settings will fall within the flip range you think will show next.
I don't fret over my settings too much and on the days nothing looks good to me I skip playing.
My hope is that my String 1 & 2 settings will produce fewer than 30 lines which I can then hit with the new tool to reduce.
Looking at the flips vertical lines for 2 and 3 gives me a good idea.
They seem to have a flow that may be predictable.
OMJ seems to be doing well using the slider and flip together but the slider brings back bad memories for me being that I deleted the source code by mistake.
That whole program came about by way of a dream.
It was one of those dreams where one wishes they could wake up.
I think I would rather try to empty the ocean with a shovel then suffer through that again.
All night I felt captive and numbers were running through my head to the point it hurt.
It was like some advanced entity was forcing me to learn something I could not understand.
All at once I was able to understand the concept and woke wide awake.
I jumped up and started programming it before it faded away.
I got enough done that I would have been able to figure the rest out, and released a early unfinished version.
I had big plans for it but deleted the source code by mistake and no matter how hard I tried I could not remember
the algorithms.
Since then I don't think I have viewed it 3 or 4 times.
I was sick when I seen I had deleted it.
