Suggestion - show a string of success/fail for perk duplication violations

[necauqua]

In scripts/magic/null_room/check.lua, the "coin flip" for if you get permanently polymorphed/cessated if you're in a parallel world is entirely seed-dependent:

local in_parallel_worlds = true
local par_x, par_y = GetParallelWorldPosition( pos_x, pos_y )
if( par_x == 0 and par_y == 0 ) then in_parallel_worlds = false end

-- 50% chance of perma polymorph in parallel worlds
if( in_parallel_worlds ) then

	local par_poly_violations = tonumber(GlobalsGetValue("PARALLEL_POLYMORPH_VIOLATIONS", "0"))
	SetRandomSeed( 64687, par_poly_violations )
	-- 50% chance of perma polymorph
	if( Random( 1, 100 ) <= 50 ) then
		permapolymorph_entity( entity_id )
		message = "$logdesc_gods_are_very_angry"
		steve_file = "data/entities/animals/sheep.xml"
	end

	par_poly_violations = par_poly_violations + 1
	GlobalsSetValue( "PARALLEL_POLYMORPH_VIOLATIONS", tostring( par_poly_violations ) )
end

I've actually looked through all seeds and found one with 33 consecutive successes - 302690999 (unverified, could've hit an edge case in my noita rng impl?. but statistically 33 consecutive coinflips over 2^32 seeds does check out).

It seems that it would be trivial to show this information in noitool, as a list of success/failure, or maybe with a counter (for how many times you did it) or something.

That's awesome! I'm not actively developing Noitool, but still maintaining it.

Is that something that you can implement? I'll happily do a code review and merge the thing. (Reach out if you need any assistance!)

Yeah I'm interested, but it might be a while as I'm allocating all of my (not that large currently sadly) free time budget into hopefully finally launching twitch plays noita 🙃
