    I didn’t read the article but I know that in the card game, the cards aren’t shuffled at all, there are just about four preset layouts of the cards.

      there are just bout four preset layouts of the cards.

      It’s 8 different layouts, but yes, they are only a few of them. The funny thing is that they are not hardcoded, but the result of a buggy implementation of an algorithm that could have generated millions of different layouts. The specific assembly code is explained line by line on the video.
