the math mod

[fringe skiff]

This actually came from a joker by a couple of people (me @brittle crystal and @mighty flare ), that a mod all about math would be funny.

It was so funny that we eventually started to have good ideas. So we decided to open a thread about it!

[mighty flare]

To be more specific, all about stuff ranging from equation symbols to stuff as convoluted as imaginary numbers, like pi, e, i, and the Golden Ratio itself

[brittle crystal]

oh god let me see if i can format all the stuff we came up with into a readable message lmao

[fringe skiff]

This might or might not be made into a mod in the future XD

[mighty flare]

Just channel the power of all mathematicians into this one project to make Balatro involve as much MATH as possible

[merry monolith]

spiral joker:

[fringe skiff]

The Chinese philosophies mod

[gilded jetty]

Sad that I already concepted Collatz Conjecture for Ortalab

[fringe skiff]

That’s me after trying to make Flip-Flop a thing

[gilded jetty]

All I can think of other than that is Ana and Kata

Which is just made up for 4D Golf

I don't know if those are the real names for the dimension

[merry monolith]

i changed it to pi/8 and the display works in the current version

[mighty flare]

Why was WarioWare the first thing that came to mind when I saw those names?

[fringe skiff]

Wtf is that XD

[mighty flare]

ENGLISH, please

[merry monolith]

it's 10 + 7cos(pi/8 * $$) in the current build

[gilded jetty]

Jumpscared by math

[fringe skiff]

Me too XD

[merry monolith]

same as well

[fringe skiff]

My guy took the liquify tool and said yes

[mighty flare]

Also, I don't even know what cos is, so how am I supposed to solve that Einstein-esque math riddle you posed with Spiral?

[gilded jetty]

...

wha

Your sanity is saved then

[devout pendant]

cos is a number between -1 and 1

thats all you need to know

[mighty flare]

Haven't gone to college yet, that's why

[merry monolith]

cos is college maths? what?

[fringe skiff]

Time to add weirdly calculated critical hits

[devout pendant]

schools dont teach anything anymore

[mighty flare]

At least, I think it is. Never had to put up with that in high-school

[devout pendant]

CRITICAL HITS LETS GOOOOO

[brittle crystal]

Here’s some of the highlights for ideas we threw around

Function Cards
Playing cards that have a equation symbol instead of a rank (may or may not have a suit), which score based on the cards either side of it.

For instance, a + card would score the chips of the added ranks on either side of it, or a - card would score the difference of the ranks either side.

Irrational Hands
Hands that are composed of specific ranked cards, based on various irrational numbers;

• Pi Hand made of 3, 1, 4, 1, 5
• Tau Hand made of 6, 2, 8, 3, 1
• Golden Ratio Hand of 1, 6, 1, 8 (and maybe a 0?)

Variable Enhancement
A new enhancement that is essentially “wild but for the rank instead.” We didn’t quite reach a consensus on what prompts it to decide what rank it counts as but I’m sure we’ll figure it out.

• Probably needs to be made to not count for jokers that look for specific ranks so it doesn’t break shit wide open

[devout pendant]

also good luck to whoever tries to implement ranks that arent numbers LOL

[brittle crystal]

that’s all i could remember us discussing without having to tab out of the thread and lose the whole message lmao

[fringe skiff]

Yay…

[mighty flare]

We've done it with Face cards, I'm sure we can solve it with equations...

[brittle crystal]

Itay you have already good mod ideas to focus on you don’t need to dare to take this one on too hdkdndkdkdmdm

[gilded jetty]

I will warn you on that last idea you will have to manip a ton of the jokers if you're gonna let any card be considered several ranks at the same time

[devout pendant]

also have fun figuring out how to change card.base.value on the fly because you'll need to

[fringe skiff]

Yeah ik

[merry monolith]

should tau hand be 6 2 8 3 1?

[brittle crystal]

FUCK

i typoed 😔

[devout pendant]

since basically every mod checks that directly

[fringe skiff]

I have fusion and codex

[merry monolith]

also golden ratio should be 1 6 1 8 10

[brittle crystal]

i promise i got the tau hand right when we first talked about it

[fringe skiff]

Yeah that’s sad

[devout pendant]

i have more projects than itay tbh

[fringe skiff]

Yup you do

But I release mine so…

XD

[devout pendant]

hhhhhh

[frank lance]

so real

[devout pendant]

im not DONE YET UGHHHH

[brittle crystal]

tbf i didn’t say any of these were good and/or reasonable to make

[mighty flare]

XD Shade thrown, much?

[devout pendant]

stop bullyinging meeee

[fringe skiff]

Okay sorry

[frank lance]

github jumpscare

[devout pendant]

is joke

is okay

[fringe skiff]

XD

[devout pendant]

IsaacMod will depend on the APIs ive been cooking, so those will likely release first

[fringe skiff]

Ooh

What are you cooking?

[devout pendant]

Usable Jokers, Oddity API, a secret third thing

[fringe skiff]

Ooh a secret

Interesting

[gilded jetty]

What if suit or hand Xmult joker series were the several ways you can prove the Pythagorean theorem.

[mighty flare]

Maybe we could word the effects that treat their ranks as multiple ones as something like 'All -A-s are also counted as -B-s and vise versa', or however it'd be worded?

[mighty flare]

Like one being a²+b²+c²?

[merry monolith]

that is the pythagorean theorem

[brittle crystal]

Yeah maybe having jokers that do the variable stuff/decide certain ranks are the same might be a safer option

[merry monolith]

isn't there a joker in ortalab that makes faces wild with each other?

[devout pendant]

Variable Cards
all instances of x, y, z cards are the same value. increasing any of them with e.g. hiker increases all of them. maybe special jokers for them directly.

[brittle crystal]

maybe? i haven’t had the chance to dig through the whole ortalab thread so i have no clue whats in there

[gilded jetty]

Imposter Syndrome?

[crisp fjord]

have a card that says it uses a unsolved math problem like the riemann hypothesis to calculate the multiplier when in reality it's just like a random 1-100 roll

[brittle crystal]

pffffft

[fringe skiff]

Time for hexadecimal ranks

[merry monolith]

each played card gives
+ζ(-2 * n) mult equal to
its rank

[fringe skiff]

Ooh I have an idea

[fringe skiff]

Function enhancement

[brittle crystal]

Okay but i literally thought about suggesting a mod that makes the deck be in a different base before

[gilded jetty]

Random idea
Boss Blind: The Limit
all randomization is disables

[fringe skiff]

Does thief but the function is a joker you get

[gilded jetty]

idk if this is accurate to limits in math

[merry monolith]

(this does nothing)

[gilded jetty]

I'm not taking Calculus, you can't make me

[devout pendant]

im not retaking calculus just to understand this

[brittle crystal]

unfortunately that’s not at all what limits really are but i think it’s still a good name for a boss blind regardless

[frank lance]

calc is so fun

cowards

[merry monolith]

harmonic series
gives infinite mult if you play four straights

[crisp fjord]

a card which description says it uses a physics calculation to determine multiplier because you have actually pick up the card and shake it a lot

[merry monolith]

that's very inaccurate

[mighty flare]

Could also work with something like 'All chance based effects are disabled'

[fringe skiff]

That will not be hard probably

Just change pseudorandom to always false

[merry monolith]

uppercase pi
gives mult equal to the product of the value of the cards held in hand

[fringe skiff]

Yessssss

[brittle crystal]

Oooooo

[mighty flare]

Fascinating

[brittle crystal]

Jokers that do math with the ranks of the hand might be a reasonable option to go with

[gilded jetty]

Do these jokers have the mult that would be gives displayed for do we say fuck it do the math yourself

[fringe skiff]

The cool math mod

[brittle crystal]

I think it’d be in the spirit of the nonsense to say “do it yourself, coward” about math jokers

[crisp fjord]

schrodinger's joker: shows as a flipped card base with a strong base multiplier with randomized hidden requirement which when triggered flips it to it's face and now you've collapsed the wave function and the joker is now defunct

[brittle crystal]

What would be the point of a math mod if you didn’t have to do the math yourself?

[fringe skiff]

Sunday????

[mighty flare]

Just make it an option/setting

[fringe skiff]

Chicken wing boy?

[crisp fjord]

i do play star rail but no lol

[gilded jetty]

lmao

[brittle crystal]

As much as I’d love to stay and continue doing silly math ideas it is 2:30 in the morning here and my boyfriend is gonna kill me (/lh) if i sleep in past 2pm again

Buh bye

[mighty flare]

Understandable. Have a good night, Baymax

[fringe skiff]

Goodnight!

[mighty flare]

Nonetheless... Time to solve this slice of pi for Balatro. XD

[frank lance]

x1 mult if a hand has a digit of pi

[fringe skiff]

Will this be feder’s next mod?

[mighty flare]

-Shrug- Maybe we could make the 'Pi-Faced Joker' still involve Aces, 3s, and 4s in some capacity

[merry monolith]

isn't there already a pi joker mod?

[frank lance]

oh yeah i remember that

[mighty flare]

Hang on, there is?

[merry monolith]

also this is absurdly op, you get 1331 mult if you have 3 aces in hand

[devout pendant]

will this be feders last mod.... (no)

[gilded jetty]

Well, nobody would know cause who would do the math the figure that out

xdd

[mighty flare]

Maybe it could give you the sum of the value of cards held in hand times the number of cards held in hand?

[merry monolith]

even just sigma (give mult equal to the sum of the values of cards held in hand) is strong actually

[mighty flare]

Hmm... Then mayhaps we could have it add Chips instead of Multi?

[raven bolt]

No, that's been the names for years

[merry monolith]

but then that's extremely weak

[mighty flare]

Then maybe something more off-bar, like ×1 Multi for every 2 (or 3) cards held in hand?

[merry monolith]

absurdly strong in a high card build, just alright otherwise

also doesn't fit the actual function of the symbol

[mighty flare]

So many issues, and not enough solutions to dissolve them into... -Alchemy homage!-

Then what's the function of Sigma?

[tall raft]

Oh goodness

[merry monolith]

sigma just adds all of the numbers that it recieves, pretty much

(not 100% accurate but i dont care)

[raven bolt]

lowercase sigma is the standard deviation, which is the square root of the mean squared distance from average

[mighty flare]

Hmm. Not half bad for the Maverick leader (Megaman X reference)

[merry monolith]

this is true

+2x the difference between the highest and lowest scored card to mult?

[tall raft]

I'm wondering what a derivative Joker would be.

[mighty flare]

That could definitely be interesting

[raven bolt]

that's range

[merry monolith]

that is true

but i feel it'd be easier to mentally calculate

ranger joker could be a good name though actually

[tall raft]

Derivative Joker: Gives +mult equal to the numerical value on the joker next to it to a certain power. (^0.5 for chips jokers, ^1 for +mult jokers, ^2 for xmult jokers)

...maybe 0.5 is a little low.

Probably should also specify left or right.

[merry monolith]

that's like +15 mult from 1.0.1 stuntman

[tall raft]

Yeah...

That's the problem.

Because +15 mult from stuntman seems a tad weak?

[raven bolt]

15x250=3750

[tall raft]

Maybe ^0.6?

[raven bolt]

So you can just play whatever and clear the first 4 Antes

[tall raft]

Well yeah, but that requires this exact combo, and you can do the same thing with Abstract + Stuntman + literally any three other jokers.

Stuntman will get anything to ante 5.

Hm.

[raven bolt]

Fair

[tall raft]

I think ^0.6 would be better.

That's ~27 from stuntman.

16 from a 100 chip joker.

[mighty flare]

How would ^0.75 work with it? (Just curious, since I'm a sucker for more rounded numbers in 25 increments)

[tall raft]

Very strong.

[mighty flare]

Alrighty. XD

[tall raft]

62 mult from stuntman.

31 from any 100 chip joker.

[raven bolt]

Can confirm, 2.50^0.75=2

[tall raft]

Yeah.

Anyways, I guess this would look at the joker to the right?

Since it discourages use with X mult if it looks left.

[merry monolith]

could be crazy with ca[in][in]o

[tall raft]

Canio?

[merry monolith]

yeah

[tall raft]

I forget what Canio does.

[merry monolith]

+1x mult for each destroyed face card

[tall raft]

Oh crap, yeah.

[merry monolith]

so it would make it cubic scaling

[tall raft]

If you destroy all 12, that's +144 mult, then x12 on that.

Almost a guaranteed run winner.

Hm.

[merry monolith]

slotting blueprint in doesn't work though

[tall raft]

Sadly no.

[merry monolith]

nor brainstorm

[tall raft]

Brainstorm could still do stuff somewhere.

Chips, probably.

[merry monolith]

you can't get a second canio trigger

which is what really matters

[tall raft]

Yeah...

[ivory gale]

I approve of this mod

[pseudo zinc]

I like this mod idea. But uh- idk if it was me being blind or what, I didnt see the link for it-

or is it still a WIP and not made yet? (if this is the case id be happy to help with ideas ^^)

[lapis falcon]

cycles through digits of pi, if hand contains scored card with rank equal to next digit in pi, [some benefit]

[brittle crystal]

this mod isn’t even in the WIP stage yet lol, this was fully just me and a couple other folks sharing some ideas we had (none of us intend to make the mod, we were just putting it out there in case someone else was interested in taking it)

[pseudo zinc]

Aaaah. I see i see. Lol

[pseudo zinc]

Pythagoras Joker
If played hand contais 3 cards that have ranks such as a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Gain x3 Mult, Starts at x1 Mult

Imaginary Joker
When Boss Blind is Selected, give Negative to a random Math Joker until end of round. Gain +1 hand size for each Negative Math Joker.

Natural Joker
Each scored card with the letter "E" in its name gives x2.7 Mult. Each scored card without the letter "E" in their name give x0.27 Mult.

[fringe skiff]

XD

[pseudo zinc]

what 🙂

[fringe skiff]

Idk I just think this idea is mad funny

[pseudo zinc]

ye- the buff is pretty good but the downside also is big thus balancing it out a lot

[mighty flare]

You've definitely caught my interest with these ideas already, but I am partially confused on how Pythagoras Joker actually works. Would that just be like playing a 3, a 4, and a 5, since 3² (9) + 4² (16) = 5² (25)?

[pseudo zinc]

Pythagoras will need 3 cards to score

but ye- if you have a scoring 3, 4 and 5, it activates

[mighty flare]

Ah, nice. Also, I think 3-4-5 is the only set of squares that could trigger it, due to how much space there is between each square as you go up

[pseudo zinc]

3 4 5
6 8 10
5 Q K (if we count Q as 12 and K as 13)

tho ig the 3rd one doesnt count since face cards are treated as rank 10

(looking at Raised Fist Joker)

[mighty flare]

So it'd actually make the 6-8-10 option a lot easier to go for and a lot more potent for Face card builds

Meanwhile, 3-4-5 is a Hack paradise

[brittle crystal]

I mean, even if other jokers count it a diff way, we can still make it so the math jokers ranks the face cards as 11-12-13 if we want too lol

[pseudo zinc]

true

[brittle crystal]

So I’d say 5-Q-K is still viable

[pseudo zinc]

that would only come up in a Flush funnily enough

but still funny to have it there

3-4-5 can be Flush/Straight/Straight Flush

and so can 6-8-10

[mighty flare]

Set all that up with Jokers that care about playing few cards, like Square Joker and Wee Joker (I think), and that'll quickly jump the grid

[pseudo zinc]

Wee joker wants you to play '2' specifically

not two cards

[mighty flare]

Oh, ok. What one was the one that got boosted if you played three cards, again?

[pseudo zinc]

maybe making Pythagoras check all played cards instead of Scored cards would make it better

[mighty flare]

Probably, since you'd need other similar cards in order to score the Pythagoras trio, which might not be the best to do if you ended up going for a different/specific poker hand type

[pseudo zinc]

true

[mighty flare]

Plus, some of them are harder to pull off than others when it comes to matching- 5 Q K only really works on Flush hands unless it's played instead of scored

[pseudo zinc]

yea-

guess Pythagoras is more usable with 'played'

[mighty flare]

And the other two (3-4-5 and 6-8-10) are already partially Straights, which can have some ludicrously high end-game potential, especially in the form of Hack for the first one

[pseudo zinc]

ble- i just realized a smol mistake i did with writing pythagoras-

[mighty flare]

How so?

[pseudo zinc]

hope it is more clear now ^^

Binary Joker
1 in 2 chance for scored odd rank cards to give +10 mult.
1 in 2 chance for scored even rank cards give +11 chips.

[mighty flare]

Ah, nice. Meanwhile, I also love the 'high-risk, high-reward' aspect of Natural Joker, but would in include the word version of the numbers? (AKA would 3s, 5s, 7s, 8s, 9s, and 10s give the boost, or would they still give the penalty?)

[fringe skiff]

Do yo consider queen as 12 and king as 13?

[pseudo zinc]

they'd give the penalty

[fringe skiff]

If so, 5,12,13 is a Pythagorean trio

Then you can do 3,4,5,12,13 for double

[pseudo zinc]

we had a small talk about that and decided to count em as such for pythagoras to have 3 trios that trigger it

[mighty flare]

Ah, ok. Also, that basically means that anything that isn't a Heart or Spade gets penalized

[pseudo zinc]

that would be funny to have

[pseudo zinc]

I love the Checkered Deck

XD

[mighty flare]

That'd be surprisingly cursed yet funny to see as a hand- 3, 4, 5, Queen, King

[pseudo zinc]

yup

cant imagine how cursed and funny pythagoras would be, considering mod mixing and stuff-
specially with that 1 mod joker that lets you play more than 5 cards

[fringe skiff]

God I really wanna work on this mod now XD

[pseudo zinc]

imma try to help as much as I can-

[fringe skiff]

Nah I have like 2-3 mods I am working on rn

[pseudo zinc]

im decent at coding

not that much at LUA in particular
but i learn fast

[fringe skiff]

I don’t think I have time for it XD

[pseudo zinc]

oh dam- thats a lot

[mighty flare]

You mean this one?

[pseudo zinc]

yupp

[fringe skiff]

Yeah I have:

• Codex Arcanum version 1.1
• Fusion Jokers version 1.0
• A mystery mod

[pseudo zinc]

I fckin love Codex Arcanum

[fringe skiff]

Huh, what mod is that?

[fringe skiff]

Thank you so very much!

[pseudo zinc]

I think its the JellyMod

[mighty flare]

I admittedly have no idea- I just have a picture of it saved

[pseudo zinc]

yeh, JellyMod

[fringe skiff]

Interesting

[pseudo zinc]

on the topic of that- Aero (the Alechemy card that draws 4, does nothing when used xd)

[fringe skiff]

Interesting… what version are you on (both steamodded and balatro), and what mods do you have on?

[pseudo zinc]

imma need to check

[fringe skiff]

Also under what conditions did you use the card?

[pseudo zinc]

only moment i could use it is before playing a hand, while facing any of the blinds (like all other alchemy cards)
and it just dissapears when used, without doing the draw 4

[mighty flare]

??? Aero works just fine for me

[fringe skiff]

Odd

[pseudo zinc]

might be something from the other mods ig- imma give it a try without the other mods when I can

and let you know

[mighty flare]

I just thought of something that'd be really hilarious, despite it likely not being possible, due to how Jellymod tends to overrule almost everything else, and it involves Pierrot

Using a Six Suit mod (either Ink/Color or Star/Moon), make a 3-4-5-6-8-10 Spectrum hand with each number being a different suit

[pseudo zinc]

nice

[mighty flare]

That would be hilarious to see happen- All of those suits and still managing to pull off advanced math

[pseudo zinc]

yupp

[gilded jetty]

Who knew making this look good is incredibly difficult.

(Trying to make the pythag joker lineup I suggested previously)

[gilded jetty]

This is the reference

This more accurate?

[tall raft]

Half Joker?

[tall raft]

Probably should swap which numbers give chips and mult. 10 is 2 and 11 is 3 in binary.

[pseudo zinc]

I know

[tall raft]

I guess it's done the way you did it to mirror and

?

[raven bolt]

the only ranks that do that are 3,4,5. unless we're also counting 5,Q,K?

oh i forgot about 6,8,10

[rough basin]

7.8/10 Too much math

[ivory gale]

Random Walk - Common
2/3 chance to gain +1 mult for each card scored, else -1 mult

Exponential Growth - Rare
X1.1 Mult, multiply this Mult by 1.1 at end of round

Multiplication - Uncommon
Gain chips equal to the product of the first two scored cards’ chip values in played hand

Reimann - Legendary
Adds the imaginary part of the nth nontrivial zero of the Reimann Zeta function to mult, where n is the number of chips when triggered

^For a sense of scale, even a 50 chip hand would be +143.11… mult, and a 1000 chip hand would be +1419.42… mult (diminishing returns)

[pseudo zinc]

Mhm

[devout pendant]

or make your choice....

[pseudo zinc]

for what?

[pseudo zinc]

∀ Joker
Lengendary Joker
When Blind is selected, this Joker gains the abilities of a random Math Joker.

Union Joker
Legendary Joker
This Joker gains the abilities of the Joker directly to its Right and Directly to its Left.

(Might make it Rare and have it only be able to Synergize with Math Jokers)

[pseudo zinc]

ε Joker
Disabled Cards Score 0.1 Chips and 0.1 Mult each instead.

[warm stag]

wait what is this

[pseudo zinc]

Epsilon (the smallest positive number)

[mossy scarab]

Taylor’s Joker
Change mult from current mult to (1+current mult+(current mult)^2/2+(current mult)^3/6+(current mult)^4/24…)

[ivory gale]

e^x

[mossy scarab]

yeah but its funnier if you write it as a taylor series

[ivory gale]

True

[warm stag]

wait holdup what

lats say x is current mult for reference

so you wanna se current mult

to (1+x+x^2/2+x^3/6+x^4/24...

[mossy scarab]

yes

[warm stag]

what is the pattern ;-;

[mossy scarab]

its the taylor series for e^x

x^0+x^1+x^2/2!+x^3/3!+x^4/4!

...

[warm stag]

as smart as i am, what?

will i ever need to use it

[mossy scarab]

its an sum that aproximates e^x as you add more and more terms

if you have infinite terms it is e^x

in summation notation it would be written as

[ivory gale]

You can use it to estimate the values of functions by hand 🤓

[onyx cedar]

ermmmmm

[lapis falcon]

[name required]
when this joker is scored, chips and mult are both rounded up to the nearest primes

[warm stag]

Prime Joker?

[errant swan]

Prime Peter

[warm stag]

QUESTION

would you let me tag team with yall

i have a joker :>

[fringe skiff]

sure, what is it? we would love to hear it

[warm stag]

cubic joker

if you play a hand where the chips equal a perfect cube the joker doubles its mult

i have all the code

you just need to change it to ur mod i think

[mighty flare]

Jokemus Prime

[pseudo zinc]

I feel like this would do better as an entire deck theme (like Plazma Deck)

3 60 Joker
Gains ×1.5Mult for each Math Joker.
Current Mult x1.

[pseudo zinc]

I has question- what are the dimensions for the jokers?

[fringe skiff]

71 width, 95 height

[pseudo zinc]

aighty- thank you

[warm stag]

Hey would you mind if I send you the code n assets for it?

I’ve tested it and it works perfectly as of yet :D

[ivory gale]

Aleph Zero (Uncommon)
Sets Mult to naneinf if highest score this run is naneinf.

More of a joke idea

[pseudo zinc]

Lol

Make it- "Sell this joker to set score to naneinf if naneinf been scored previously this run"

So if you find it. You only keep it for something you know you cant beat normally

[ivory gale]

It could be like Mr Bones and just sets score to naneinf to save the run regardless

“Sets score to blind requirement when sold if highest score this run is above blind requirement”

[pseudo zinc]

Ooo- that too works

I have a name idea for that sort of joker--

Delta Error 0%

Its basically Mr Bones but the condition is you have scored a hand in the round that's bigger than the blind you at.

[warm stag]

should I send my like 3 math jokers here by chance

[fringe skiff]

that would be lovely

[warm stag]

ok cool

im being sure it doesnt explode one sec

[warm stag]

ok so i wanna change some of the assets but i cant :(

the only good photo editor i know doesnt let me save any more today

or at least the only one thats free

i have all the base assets

but i was gonna give em all numbers :>

(even joker has 2 jokers, so theres 1 and 2, odd has 3, so theres 1 2 and 3, cubic was gonna have "^3" on their hat)

[warm stag]

idk if i can send files here but either way i can send the code here n dm you the assets if needed :>

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/yucupoyare.pgsql

thats the joker codes :>

oh that worked!

thats the entire code if you need it

just make sure to change any "mittmods" to your mod name

(also by many it means 3 and i havent even tested one of em yet

aaand neither of them are working now.

[warm stag]

Fixed em!

contains all 3 jokers :D

[quick dawn]

you could do something with colltaz:
if scored chips are even, get 0,5x mult
if scored chips are odd, get 3x + 1 mult

[ivory gale]

Suggested this exact same idea and it’s in the Ortalab Demo now

Great minds think alike

[quick dawn]

or:
get +5 mult for every scoring card that is a unit in the cyclic group of order equal to your highest scoring card

axoim of chance:
copies the effect of one randomly chosen joker of every rarity, changes every blind

not confident about that idea but something has to be done with axiom of choice, at least

this could also inspire the thoeretically best joker in the game, which also happens to be functionally useless

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Petersburg_paradox

what cards have so far been implemented?

[ivory gale]

Collatz is in Ortalab and there’s this mod which has some math jokers: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1230363683679502396

Don’t know of any other math jokers in mods yet

[warm stag]

yoooo

that’s literally my mod :D

[pseudo zinc]

Martingale Joker
Gain xN Mult after each hand scored. Resets every round. N is its current Mult.
Starts at x1.

[lethal schooner]

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem

a joker about that would be cool

maybe 2 jokers one for the first theorem and another one for the second

[tawdry shoal]

Where's the dynamic programming Joker that computes the optimal risk-neutral discard strategy for you 🤔

Maybe a Joker that changes the rank ordering to be Sharkovskii's ordering

Odd positive integers starting from 3 < 2*Odd positive integers < … < (2^n)*Odd positive integers < … < … < 2^n < … < 8 < 4 < 2 < 1.

I suppose the reverse ordering works too if you prefer 3 to be the greatest number instead of 1. Neither alternative is well-ordered anyways.

so is the mod made yet

[worldly forge]

Why are we still necroing threads

[raven bolt]

I don't know, why did this thread randomly show up as one of my active threads

[raven bolt]

also, i want to have this mod

[ivory gale]

so code it

[raven bolt]

do i look like i know lua

[ivory gale]

I learned Lua from modding Balatro

[gusty burrow]

same, along with pixel art

[ivory gale]

I think I made a grand total of one asset for Cryptid

And that was to replace a Joker whose texture was so bad I couldn’t look at it anymore

[tawdry shoal]

Me too re: Lua and pixel art

The true Balatro was the education we made along the way

[raven bolt]

please give this

[pliant grove]

Exclamatory - Rare
!mult 5% of mult (occurs before any scoring)

[tender ice]

Can someone show me the download link for this? Thanks.
