	: When saving your game, code ~~goes~~ by on the classic computer screen. This code is 6502 assembly code that ~~was designed to be very similar~~ to the code ~~that runs when you save your game when playing~~ the ~~FDS~~ version of Metroid ~~for the Famicom~~. ~~Keep~~ in ~~mind that the FDS persists data to the floppy disk and saves on either the~~ game over ~~screen~~ or ~~the~~ quit ~~screen accessed~~ by pressing Up + A on the player 2 controller ~~instead of being able to do it~~ in ~~game~~.		: When saving your game in Fracterebus, there is code that scrolls by on the classic computer screen in the save room. This code is based on the 6502 assembly code that is used to produce and display the "pass word" code on the NES version of Metroid. This assembly code is executed in Metroid when you game over or quit by pressing Up + A on the player 2 controller. The code is from several places in the Metroid code, and is shown without addresses.

New page

This is a measure of the player skill. It allows the world to be generated with more flexible key and lock combinations.

For example, in a situation where there is a heated room there are several ways to get through it. On normal skill it is assumed that you simply must have the heat protection suit and the world will be generated in a way that guarantees it is available without the need to pass through the heated room. In hard difficulty, the lock for the heated room may also allow a hell run to be required. Meaning that the room could be considered passable if a certain number of energy capsules are available instead of the heat suit.

			= Keys / Locks =
			Objective planning follows the key/lock pattern. This can mean literally keys and locks like "you need the red key to go through the door with the red lock," but it also could mean "you need to have high jump boots to get up here." Some logic needs to be used to prevent unbeatable worlds. For example, it would be an unbeatable situation to put the high jump boots after the ledge that is too high to get up to without the high jump boots. You'd never be able to get to any part of the world past that point.

			== Objective Planning ==
			The first thing that happens when generating the world is objective planning. This process builds an objective traversal graph structure that goes from the escape pod through all of the bosses while laying out all of the items. It also ensures items needed to progress are in the available somewhere in the graph before the lock that needs them. This helps to guarantee that worlds are generated that can be fully explored.

	The seed code is the definition of the world you will play in. It includes things that drive random world generation as well as baked in settings that will be used when playing. The code is made up of 60-bits of information, but is shared using a 12-character [[Base32]] code. Some values affect world generation and others do not. Currently there are 44-bits of entropy in a seed code. That means that it is currently possible to generate 17,592,186,044,416 (roughly 17.5 trillion) worlds.
