Beastie's Babbles Topic #2... a bit lighter this time.
There is a bunch of geometry in Ricochet. On that note, when a carpenter, engineer, designer, or your average home owner need to check angles, they will often pull a level. Let's just say he/she is hanging a picture on a wall. This level will tell him/her that the frame hangs evenly on the wall, and that one side is not set higher on the wall than the other.
A level seems like a simple tool. Most of us have seen one, it contains a small tube of liquid and a tiny air bubble inside. If you place it just right, the bubble sits in the middle. If it is offset, the bubble will go to the side that is higher off the ground. Simple? I have just one question this week.
#1 What is a level... level to?
I will have a couple more questions for you as this one evolves.
