In some cases, you may also need to use moslow. When you have very old
games made to be used on x86, 186 and 286 CPUs and yours is just TO
fast, like a plain 60 MHz Pentium.
Typical cases from old role playing games:
You get out and immediately die. Looking at the log, you found that you
died from starvation, but where absolutely loaded with rations.
You travel and sudently die. You find that a single zombie very slowly
approatched your party, and lesurely killed you over over 100 rounds.

I recall the Wing Commander series suffering from this issue.
moslow should also help with programs that crash with a "division by
zero" error message right at startup.
(Background: Back then, the fastest real-time clock in a PC operated at
18.2Hz; to allow for higher precision - typically at a millisecond level
- real-time delays were often implemented as a delay loop, which was
calibrated at startup; Turbo Pascal's runtime library became notorious
for doing this by running the loop a fixed number of times and measuring
the number of 18.2Hz ticks elapsed, which tended to lead to said
division by zero on machines fast enough to do that initial loop
calibration in less than a tick.)

I actually like the irregular plating a lot. Can you publish the source
code?
Such a plating could be great as floor of rooms, in some of my scenes.
Besides, I am managing a ship building wharf, too. ;-)

publish that source code here? I would be happy.

It looks to be based on the crackle pattern with a form Something
