R.I.P Rubberbanding

[GamingFTW]

I seemed to come into notice this mostly on pinpoint, so this should be great. WOOT

[GreaseMonkey]

And why would I use some website to do string<->binary conversions?

Code: Select all

Or, as a one-liner function:

Code: Select all

f = lambda s : ''.join([chr(eval("0b"+r)) for r in [''.join(l) for l in zip(*[s[i::8] for i in xrange(8)])]])


So in other words, it'll be proper rubberbanding, rather than teleporting D:

Aw man, rubberbanding saves my life every time I play hallway.

By preventing you from meeting anyone?

Real funny dude.
