I mean, it's definitely more sensible that it doesn't work, but the rules really don't make that clear, I'd say (and moreover, I don't even see why they mention the Clap specially in the first place, instead of just using (c in all sequences)
pretty cool, at the end, there's like a "cutscene" where all levels are played back in reverse (without the cursor), such that you see each possible pattern emerging from the centre... and they also play the corresponding soundtrack backwards... and it actually sounds fairly decent

@Doorknob冰 thanks for the ping! Very interesting discussion. I share this code base with an Android app (java 1.6) and the java.util.Base64 is from java 1.8, but since you mentioned I realize I can move this utility method to a 1.8 project. Big thanks to @feersum. Thanks also to @FryAmTheEggman and @Rainbolt for good advice on how to post codegolf questions. As you may have noticed, I mostly hang out on StackOverflow.
Also, I'm not sure how to solve this using Java strings since strings in Java are 16 bits and not all 2-byte combinations are legal characters, right?
@Lembik I don't think so. You might want to think about what you want to explicitly exclude, because fold + and test is pretty boring.
As for the recent challenge: I didn't bother with it because I had a sneaking suspicion that if I spent 30 minutes thinking about it I would end up voting to close as a duplicate of one of your earlier questions rather than posting an answer.
@PeterTaylor If I can be completely honest, I slightly screwed up the question
@PeterTaylor although maybe I should admit it now there is a bounty
@PeterTaylor I meant for there to be different probabilities for the -1,0,1 which means you aren't just counting
I am not sure why I have this reputation for asking similar questions though. According to codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/9206/… I asked a related question in November and another one in May
@Lembik You asked three questions in May, all of which were closely related, and the last of them is the one which I suspected the new one essentially dupes.
+ for rationals will be implemented for some languages natively. For most other languages, + is likely to be the most interesting part of the answer.
The Caesar Cypher is a very simple substitution cypher where each letter is shifted by a fixed offset (looping around Z to A). We can also a Caesar cypher for the set of printable ASCII characters. These are the 95 characters from code points 0x20 to 0x7E. For a given offset d, we map the code po...
@PeterTaylor re: +. Right, I need to exclude built in addition of fraction adding
@PeterTaylor right it is more related to that last may one than I wanted (although the symmetries are different which is where almost all the non-coding work is as are the bit tricks). As I said, my intention was to but probabilities on -1,0,1 that meant you had to do more than count.
s/but/put
it wasn't until I got the first answer that I realised I had forgotten to specific the probabilities!
this stuff is hard to balance sometimes, because it can easily happen, that a naive implementation still outscores a clever fast one, just because it can be so much shorter
@Optimizer Bearing in mind that at most one answer to a given question can be Enlightened and that the highly upvoted answers tend to cluster (especially in questions which hit the HNQ), 1 in 30 seems quite good.
So, If I get serial voted by someone. like 50 rep. and then hit repcap that day, with wasted 40 rep. Do they only remove the 10 rep while removing serial voted reps ?
Serial votes count towards your rep cap. If it gets reversed, you'll just miss out on that much rep for the day. I recall Martin discussing this before.
They cursed us. Esoteric programmer they called us. They cursed us, and drove us away. And we wept, Marbelous, we wept to be so alone. And we forgot the syntax of C++... the functions of python... the philosophy of JavaScript. We even forgot ... Java. Marbelous.
