I noticed something in this and many other plaids and stripes - there is often a subsequence that is repeated in reverse after a unique middle part.
In the EClark plaid, the repeated-reversed part is 54a 8bc 4d - after the 4c that is in the middle of the repetition, it follows with the reverse 4d 8cb 54a.
I decided this appears often enough to justify a special notation.
In a sequence, if you type a left angle bracket <, then everything accumulated up to that point is made into a snapshot in reverse. When you subsequently type a right angle bracket >, that snapshot subsequence is played back.
So the EClark plaid can be shortened by using this feature, to this:
54a 8bc 4d
I won't bother with another screen shot - you can trust me that the outcome is the same.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
