Nope :| Still a ghost, but it's just common now, too bad

Update: it looks like the live version of the algorithm is slightly different, probably changed because of these leaks. As such the app predictions aren't accurate, sorry

Huh weird, they must have changed the algorithm up due to the leaks. Would be pretty easy, there's a constant seed variable so they'd just need to change that, figured they might. Too bad, sorry this didn't work out

Neat! That's a great write up, cool to see others looking into it. I do wonder if they're going to do anything with the stats and shinies bit. Seems like the main piece of code for buddies that's going to handle hatching them tomorrow is still missing (comments mention a missing /buddy/index file), so maybe it'll use them there.

It is still Avcoat, that's just the name for the epoxy+silica 'honey.' But yeah they got rid of the honeycomb structure due to labour to manually fill the cells costing too much. Seems like kind of a dumb place to draw a line with the budget considering all the overruns it already has, means that now the Avcoat is being used in a design it wasn't originally meant for

For those who don't know, Claude Code's source got leaked earlier today, and it included plans for an April Fools easter egg, a Tamagotchi-esque virtual buddy. There are 18 possible species, and a bunch of stats, accessories, and attributes, all determined algorithmically based on your account UUID. Since we know the algorithm we can check what the outcome will be ahead of time, and find out what your pet is ahead of tomorrow's release.

I threw this site together to do just that, walks you through finding your UUID and lets you check the pet generated for any arbitrary string.

In terms of security the site runs entirely locally in a single html file, and your account ID isn't a credential anyways, just a identifier, can't authenticate anything.

Don't mean to brag but I got a legendary ghost.

It is one of those, "we're not lined up for any of this. It's basically impossible." things Completely different orbits, would need a ton of extra fuel, not at all possible for Artemis (or any other mission for that matter)
