Potential Shadowrun Characters

With my character skating on the brink of death last session, I figured it's high time to build some backups, especially with what I've learned about the Shadowrun universe since I've started playing. Thoughts on any of these? Think one would fit into our campaign better than others?

Valkyrie (Human)

Valkyrie is an adrenaline junkie, but she makes up for it by being a damn good driver. She grew up on the streets of Seattle, and knows every backroad and cop-free alleyway in the city. A smuggler by trade, most of her work involves being low-profile, but she’s not adverse to hot-wiring a new ride for a quick Nuyen or two. Although not exactly a fan of getting into firefights, Val is no stranger to using a submachine gun, even while driving. No, especially while driving. She's crass at times, but that comes with the territory of growing up on the wrong side of Seattle. All told, she's developed quite a skill-set and reputation in the Seattle underground for some of her more

Prisoners and Switches

Detailed below is the problem and solution of the Prisoners and Switches problem. Do not read past the problem if you don't want to have the solution spoiled for you!

Problem

A warden of a high-sescurity prison meets with 23 new prisoners when they arrive. He gives them a deal:

If all of you can solve my puzzle, I'll let you all go. If you attempt the puzzle but don't solve it, howeever, you all will be fed to the alligators! I'll tell you the puzzle, and you may meet today to plan a strategy. But after today, you will be in isolated cells and will have no communication with one another.

Prisoner's Dilemma

Rules

• n prisoners
• All prisoners but #1 will flip B to the "on" position if they see it in the "off" position, however, they will only ever do this once.
  • If B is in the "on" position, or a prisoner has already flipped B, he or she flips A.
• Prisoner #1 will flip B to the "off" positon if B is "on". If this happens, #1 increments an internal counter.
  • If B is "off", #1 flips A, and does not increment the internal counter.
• When prisoner #1's counter reaches (n-1), he declares the experiment to be over, having concluded that all other prisoners must have been in the room at least once.

Matrix Keypad Writeup

###Goal The goal of the Matrix Keypad project was to parse data from the keypad to determine which key was being pressed, then write the key to the LCD display.

###Design

###Challenges Faced A short desicription of some of the challenges faced with completing this project, and how I went about solving them.

• Clearing the LCD: I found no elegant way to clear the LCD from the API. To get around this, I simply flooded the LCD with 32 blank spaces, then set the current LCD's position to the first position.
