	The mapcode.bin is a file format that assigns physical characteristics to each face of the grid.bin file where each face receives two hex digit values identifiers.		The mapcode.bin is a file format that assigns physical characteristics to each face of the grid.bin file where each face receives two hex digit values identifiers.

	The formatting for the mapcode is ~~0xYY~~ (the x here is not the digit, ~~the Ys~~ are.) For example, 0x00 would give a face ~~with~~ full ~~friction~~, Pikmin seeds can root, and it uses grass walking sound effects. Refer to the table below for more information.		The formatting for the mapcode is 0xAB (the x here is not the digit, A and B are). A determines the traction (the amount of control leaders have on a face if it's an incline) and whether Pikmin seeds root or die, B determines the footstep sounds.

			For example, 0x00 would give a face full traction, Pikmin seeds can root, and it uses grass walking sound effects. Refer to the table below for more information.

Hello, I'm Wyatt James, a basketball fan and web publisher. I follow the Los Angeles Lakers closely and I maintain the Los Angeles Lakers schedule site, a fan-made project that lists all 80 regular-season games of the 2026-27 season with dates, opponents, start times and TV information, including the 40 home games at Crypto.com Arena and the 34 nationally televised games. I built it because I wanted one clean page where fans can find the next game quickly, follow home stands and road trips, and keep track of highlights like the season opener against the Golden State Warriors, the Christmas Day game against the Philadelphia 76ers, and the NBA Cup fixtures. Outside basketball I enjoy learning how wikis are organised and contributing small fixes where I can. I joined this wiki to take part in the community, help with edits when I have something useful to add, and connect with other members. If you want to check a game date or just talk basketball, my schedule page is the best place to find my work.
