#DecemberAdventure (ides of march edition) day 5

spent some more time tinkering with #uxn. got nerd-sniped by the (integer) `sqrt` routine defined in the math library (https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxntal_library.html). looks like it's a clever iterative application of the formula for the sum 1+..+n.

according to wikipedia there's plenty of ways to compute square roots. i suppose when it comes to a uxn implementation it's a matter of optimizing for need, time, and space

also! more small-brush #shodo #calligraphy practice. i really should start learning more interesting kanji (maybe next time i'll try to transcribe some sentences from actual text!)
