Can other developers give their input on this? Is it acceptable or too much to require at least short comments like these ones before tables of numbers in the source code? /* Copied from https://oeis.org/A000055 */ /* Computed with =IF(MOD(A1;2)=0;A1/2;3*A1+1) */ /* Adjusted to match decoding of samples/$dir/*.xxx with screenshots from the game. */ They are IMHO necessary to let other people learn from the source code, which is the difference between Libre Software and non-Libre Software. They may probably be useful for the author themself if they come back much later. Regards, -- Nicolas George
