Wizardry and Steamworks

Frequently Used Short Snippets (FUSS) is a collection of brief notes on various subjects that are used in a referential or repetitive manner on the Wizardry and Steamworks website or while performing tasks.

Methodology

Wizardry and Steamworks' projects (and articles) are built by integrating knowledge from FUSS content into those projects and FUSS content is sometimes derived (discovered or acquired) during the development of those projects or otherwise created (adapted, implemented or originally prototyped).
