Ocarina of Time Multiworld Randomizer

HN Theater has aggregated all Hacker News stories and comments that mention ZFG's video "Ocarina of Time Multiworld Randomizer".
Youtube Summary
Multiworld is a randomizer mode where multiple players can play an interactive randomizer together where they get items for each other. Each players world will have items designated for them self or the other player(s). If a player gets an item that says "(Other player) got an item" then the other player will immediately receive that item. Required items are often in the other persons game, and both players need to work together so they can both complete the game.

Because this obviously requires an internet connection, currently this can only be played on emulator (bizhawk). Emu sucks btw.

The settings used for this were regular accessible tournament settings (mostly no glitches logic) + shopsanity, where shops sell random items. We may do another one eventually with no logic and more sanity settings on, but didn't want to for this one in case it might end up taking too long.

> edit: to add, an interesting human-readable and memorable base52 alphabet that I've never found a use for is to use playing cards

I encountered something similar to this a while ago when watching a multiplayer mod of Ocarina of Time[0]. They use a string of inventory item symbols to denote the identity of the server to connect to. “Hook shot, hook shot, master sword, deku nut” is a whole lot easier to remember than a long string of ascii.

I guess it’d be something like a Base62 encoding.
