The "Entropy", as the probability of things happening, under someone's control ... this is the real source of witchcraft.

If you are a Marvel fan: You surely know the Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) - that's what she does. Altering probabilities, the entropy.

Nice answer LigH 

we are working on many ideas for shadow icons right now but isnt easy to represent a shadow ..heh

if you have any suggestions ;o otherwise we got at least 2-3 to show to you later.

I always read entropy as the state of disorder or chaos. It can be linked to probability in that in any given reaction, things are more likely to get disordered than otherwise, and that entropy is always increasing.

Either way, the icon's good.

A shadow icon, huh? Um....black heptagon with darker-than-normal red around it? I dunno.

* Karyuu kidnaps the Entropy icon for the client.

[Nikodemus]

Shouldn't it have higher resolution for the client?

[Durwyn]

Shouldn't it have higher resolution for the client?

i think he can get modify as needed ;o i remember a sentence from Karyuu talking about that but dont remember from which thread. am i wrong?

[Karyuu]

64x64 would be preferred :]

[Durwyn]

well be sure the next ones will be in that resolution in a big pack

Woot! Thanks a ton, these are lovely. I'm trying to think of what else I may request while I can!

Entropy is a very interesting and complex subject, so complex that Wikipedia has an 'Introduction to entropy' article. I also think of entropy as a measure of disorder and a good excuse to be inactive. You see, the more you get around and do stuff, the greater the increase in entropy and the sooner the heat death of the universe occurs. My lazyness is a public service. 

The icons are brilliant too! Keep 'em coming.

Possible that I saw the "entropy" a little more from the view of the "Information Theory". Here, the entropy is related to the probability of specific data to appear in a stream. The family of "Entropy Encoders" (most famous: Huffman) tries to use shorter code symbols for more probable data symbols to reduce the encoded size.

The first famous simple "entropy code" was founded by Samuel Morse... - Also you can count Stenography in.

hi everybody !

Hey the "shadow" have an icon for long long time now ! look at

greetings,
i was thinking about crafting while im crafting..strange uh? lol
correct me if im wrong but the "red hot blades" "super heated" "heated" and so on do needs an icon no?

maybe a future feature to think about ;o

edit :
lol i just heard this from a newcomer : "why do you burn books in the furnaces?"

so i think i will speak with her to do something for these icons

I am oddly reminded of Scary Movie when looking at the fear-icon...

[Quq Leque]

isnt there allready an entropy icon?
