The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A computer program consists primarily of sequences of machine-code instructions.
- Machine code is classified as native with respect to its host CPU since it is the language that the CPU interprets directly.
- Some software interpreters translate the programming language that they interpret into a virtual machine code and process it with a P-code machine.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Machine code article was read about 120,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 66: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Machine code
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
