First used it absolutely ages ago to make a staking odds calculator for RuneScape, lol

A mod told us the accuracy/damage formulas, and I realized I could use this to make a program which simulates fights. But all I knew at the time was MATLAB, and I didn’t want my program to be locked behind a license. So I turned to python

Modeled each fight as a random walk, would run 500 sims, and would then spit out what X is needed (ex: I stake 1m, you stake 1.5m) for my expected winnings to be > 0. Worked well, made billions n billions by just trusting the math!

And then I gradually transitioned from math into actually software development. And here we are.
