Hex board game - Blockbusters. Hex had an incarnation as the question board from the television game show Blockbusters. In order to play a "move", contestants had to answer a question correctly. The board had 5 alternating columns of 4 hexagons; the solo player could connect top-to-bottom in 4 moves, while the team of two could connect left-to-right in 5 moves. Hex board ...

Players have two colors, say "Red" and "Blue". (Of course, the colors are merely a convention and the actual colors vary from board to board and from version to version.) They alternate turns placing a piece of their color inside a hexagon, filling in that hexagon with their color. Red's goal is to form a red path connecting the top and bottom sides of the parallelogram, and Blue's goal is to form a path connecting the left and right sides. In the image on lef ...

The game can never end in a tie, a fact found by Nash: the only way to prevent your opponent from forming a connecting path is to form a path yourself. When the sides of the grid are equal, the game favors the first player. A standard non-constructive strategy-stealing argument proves that the first player has a winning strategy. It is obvious that since hex is a finite, perfect information game which cannot end in a tie, either the first or second player has a winning strategy. Note that an extra move for either player in any positio ...

Hex appears superficially to be a standard teen soap with gothic or supernatural overlays, but the overarching plot is difficult to synopsize thanks to an unexpected twist introduced early in the second series. From its outset, Hex appears to be the story of Cassie Hughes, a beautiful but withdrawn young woman who enrolls at the school but can't quite seem to fit into the social milieu. The second series twist forces the viewer to realize that Cassie was never the heroine of the piece, merely a pawn in the schemes of the ...

Hex borrows inaccurately from Biblical apocrypha, such as The Book of Enoch. For example, the fallen angels referred to in the programme as "the Nephilim" were called the Watchers or Grigori in apocryphal texts. It was the offspring of the Grigori by mortal women who were called the Nephilim. In the Apocrypha, the Nephilim were giants of great size, yet Azazeal is no taller than a commonly tall man, even in his non-human form. The spelling and pronunciation of Azazeal's name has also been altered from the Biblical version, and in that version he was a ...

A hex triplet is a six-digit, three-byte hexadecimal number used in HTML and CSS, and other computing applications, to represent colors. The bytes represent the red, green and blue components of the color. One byte represents a number in the range 00 to FF (in hexadecimal notation), or 0 to 255 in decimal notation. The hex triplet is formed by concatenating three bytes in hexadecimal notation, in the following order: Byte 1: red value Byte 2: gree ...

The flats of a hex shank can either be machined on a round shank, as in the photograph, or can be the natural flats of hex bar stock. A hex shank can be grasped by a 3-jaw drill chuck, or can be held in a custom chuck specifically for hex shanks. 1/4 inch hex shanks are common for machine screwdriver bits, and have spread from that application to be used for drill bits that are compatible with screwdriver machinery.

See also Base 64. Octal and hex are a convenient way to represent binary numbers, as used by computers. Computer mechanics often need to write out binary quantities, but in practice writing out a binary number such as 1001001101010001 is tedious, and prone to errors. Therefore, binary quantities are written in a base-8 ("octal") or, much more commonly, a base-16 ("hexadecimal" or "hex") number format. In the decimal system, there are 10 digits (0 through 9) which combine to form numbers as follows: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 ...

Treehouse of Horror XII - Hex and the City. The Simpson family visits the Ethnictown neighborhood of Springfield. When Homer sees a gypsy, he believes the gypsy is a fake. He damages her office, and she curses him, with Homer bringing bad luck to everyone he loves. As expected, Homer brings bad luck to everyone, with Marge growing a beard (which eventually covers her whole body), Lisa turning into a centaur, Bart having a rubbery neck, and Maggie becoming a ladybug. When he goes to Moe's Tavern, Moe suggests Home ...

As ROMs were never designed to facilitate modification, one has to "hack" into it, hence the term "ROM hacking". Some in the ROM hacking community object to this term due to its perceived association with cracking (mainly by those unfamiliar with ROM hacking); however, the term has been deeply ingrained in the vast majority of those in the ROM hacking scene, and doesn't appear to be changing any time soon. The spelling of the term varies; many use "romhacking" or "rom hacking", some use "ROMHacking" or "ROMhacking", and others, when contextually appropriate, simply use "hacking". Sometimes the term "h4x0r1ng" (or var ...

Many ROM hackers form or join groups for various reasons, such as for web space to host distributed hacks and/or screenshots, for the support or collaboration of/with other members of the group, for privileged status on the group's message board (if it has one), for the prestige associated with the group, or just for the camaraderie. Many hackers, however, choose to go solo. Not all group members are necessarily ROM hackers themselves; some have "retired" from the craft, others offer services such as website and/or message board administration, and some sim ...

Once a hack is completed (or an incomplete version is deemed suitable for an interim release) it is released onto the Internet for others to play. The generally-accepted way to do this is by making a patch (in IPS format) that can be applied to an unmodified ROM of the game that was hacked. This, and usually some form of documentation, is put in a ZIP file and uploaded somewhere. IPS is a format for recording the differences between two binary files (in this case, between the unmodified and hacked ROMs) and is suitable for ROM hacks. It is n ...
