It's in the tutorial, but it's worded as "just always take the last digit ", in math terms, it's the "modular 10 " of the "absolute value" of the addition or subtraction.
Absolute value means "if negative, make it positive " and is denoted with putting it in |bars|.
Modular means if you go under 0 or over the mod number (10 in this case), you end up at the other side. just imagine a circle.

The difficulty of multiplayer is everything that has to "match-up" between the 2 players. e.g. physics objects moving, the state of the world (where is everything), data-races (we both put the same thing in our inventory at a similar time).
Individual scares are actually the easiest to implement as long as they are transient, i.e. they don't change anything permanent, like moving a chair.
The fact that all terminals are networked and share the same commandline, but I can't get a hash i can write down on paper of a server remotely is also unrealistic. At the end of the day, that's just how computers are in basically all media: unrealistic.
Though... that too would be an easy fix, by making it like "oh, the report is too big to transmit in 24h by wire, so you have to use sneakernet" and have you use drives.
Password can be found in plaintext in [name].dat files.
To try and force unlock everything, open [name]_books.dat in a hexeditor (like HxD), search and replace, "hex-values", replace 4900 with 4901, replace all, save.
I would recommend you do this on a new profile, because it might have some side-effects, like marking empty entries as "new" and erasing your legitimate progress.
It should work, but I haven't checked if there are no entries missing.
I am missing some data stored on 1 or 2 laptops which have since gone bust (ha!), but I have some save data from 2019 that says my WPM hovered around 40 with an accuracy of about 95%.
Today, I can do 73 wpm without stressing too much and still 95% accuracy. Aiming for 100% drops me down to around 50 wpm. I do also own 2 typewriters I picked up on the cheap, they make good paperweights.
Now that instability edition is available again, I hope to check it out, because the only versions I still had were .99 and .9m.
Cheers to you as well!
Ooooh, I think I read somewhere before that this was the case, but I forgot.
I just have the silly and unrealistic idea of remastering it and it would show me how all the effects were achieved, exactly.
In some ways, there is a beauty to the ephemeral and incomplete nature of a software that itself tries to capture ephemera and a time long past.
You can use a hex editor to edit the save files to unlock most if not every book. This is the full list of books I have been able to unlock using this method. If you are aware of other entries not on the list, or how to obtain them legitimately, please let me know.
