Re: "I've been enjoying using Pascal for my Farkle game, but one..."
there is a supportive pascal community in #fpc room on irc.libera.chat. but the chan administrator afraids of bots and spam and she is a little bit overprotective about the chat.
if you cannot enter, you can go to #pascal room and ask joanna to let you in #fpc. or tell me somehow and i'll tell her.
on xmpp i have a pascal room: xmpp:pascal@conference.spyurk.am?join
or room: pascal ; conference server: conference.spyurk.am.
od if it is closed you need to tell me your jabber id so i invite you. (: i am also afraid of spam, it happens. (:

bug report: 2 triples only gave me 1500 not 2500. afraid I can't remember the two values as didn't anticipate an issue. Could be straight up bug in double triple case or could be parse issue consuming part of the double before fully matching the case.

@drh3xx thanks for the report! getting all the edge cases down was a bit challenging. I'll see if I can run some more on the triples and spot it when I get some time. currently working on a monthly leaderboard feature.

@drh3xx it was a simple bug, I just had the wrong value in there. Thanks for id'ing. fixed.
I've been enjoying using Pascal for my Farkle game, but one recent annoyance is timezones. On Linux I can't find a function that properly respects the local timezone of the machine. universaltolocal() doesn't work because tzoffset() is always 0. I just have to manually set the offset, but I feel like I shouldn't have to. Anyways, other than that, it's been fun.
