@MartinBüttner Can you show me where you posted an image link from wikipedia?

Martin Büttner

I tried it in my answer, but reverted the edit

you can simply do ![alt text](imageurl) in markdown with any image url

Martin Büttner

4:49 PM

@feersum Just noticed your edit. So do I have to check all 2000 existing challenges now for which sorts of edge cases they already contain?

feersum

@MartinBüttner No, you just post it and hope nobody tests it too hard, or update it if they do :)

Martin Büttner

lol okay

feersum

With Mathematica, I guess you are very safe...

Martin Büttner

well my code would fail on the different domains, same file name case

but it seems unlikely that that exists

Optimizer

with mathematica he is safe because hardly any one has mathematica :P

darn, another hole in my spec...whether linked images which are not displayed in the post should be downloaded.

Martin Büttner

no, they are links

Q: Score a game of Kingdom Builder

I want to try a new form of code golf here. Similar to bonuses, not all parts of the challenge have to be completed, but each answer has to implement a subset of certain size (and there is a core that every answer has to implement). So besides the golfing this challenge also involves choosing a s...

I don't think codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/44486/… is a dupe.

Martin Büttner

yeah I don't think so either

downvoted though

Optimizer

Jan has totally weird logic

of making it a dupe

I think these many should be enough

6:15 PM

@MartinBüttner Is it safe to say that I can make a Capture the Flag game without stepping on the toes of the weekly challenge?

Martin Büttner

@Rainbolt yes

Optimizer

current week - definitely .

Rainbolt

Or better yet, an actual King of the Hill King of the Hill

Optimizer

next week - maybe not.

Rainbolt

Wouldn't that be something

Martin Büttner

6:16 PM

@Rainbolt that would be something

Optimizer

King of King of Hill ?

Martin Büttner

@Doorknob should I just post an answer to that meta post about weekly challenges or are you still planning to do that?

@Optimizer no. King-of-the-Hill King of the Hill.

or maybe just "King of the Hill"

but that would be absurd

Rainbolt

KOTH KOTH!

Sound like cave man

Optimizer

but the winner will be King of King of Hill , no ?

Rainbolt

Always frustrating to watch people speak to each other in two different contexts even when they are joking

Optimizer

6:18 PM

I was just about to send "wiener" instead of "winner"

Martin Büttner

@Doorknob by "meta post" I mean "MSE post"

Optimizer

its soo almost close to impossible to get reversal here as anythign with -4 and below is not even shown on the main page...

Martin Büttner

yep

the two reversals we have are from a code trolling question

oh, manatwork just got the minimum possible Populist :D

Optimizer

6:33 PM

where?

Martin Büttner

here

Optimizer

ok 19 upvotes remaining :D

Martin Büttner

good luck with that

Doorknob

@MartinBüttner Ah, right. I'll do that when I get home.

Martin Büttner

@Doorknob I was thinking we could wait until Friday so we've got 3 to show off

currently we've only got 2 and one hasn't even been answered

Optimizer

6:48 PM

because its hard

the first was successful

I am hoping that the GA one will get good reception

feersum

I wasn't kidding in my topic suggestion post, when I said 'I (and very few other people) think it would be fun...'

Martin Büttner

Optimizer

GA ? or translation ?

feersum

translation

Martin Büttner

@feersum I think Befunge-98 may have been easier after all. afaik it has multiple cursors.

Optimizer

6:52 PM

so that few others was actually "very few others, maybe only 8"

Optimizer

7:11 PM

@Doorknob did you close this as dupe ?

Martin Büttner

@Optimizer obviously... :D

Optimizer

so yeah, if you want to find answers to that question, go to the "display 42" question, you will find several answers that can be easily changes to meet the requirements of this question

right ?

Martin Büttner

I never said I agreed

(In fact I'm pretty sure I said I disagreed)

Optimizer

I know

that was for Mr. Doorknob

and there is no point in even voting to reopen.

Doorknob

10:03 PM

@Optimizer Yes, for lack of a better close reason.

@Optimizer Why not?

If I had more time I'd try translation:/

Except the idea I have only works for a limited stack size (basically use g/p to manage the stacks, but the stack pointer would be limited by the char size)

feersum

@Sp3000 what do you mean char size?

Sp3000

e.g. say the stack pointer was at (1,0) and the stack was on row 2, top of stack at (2, 32). Then at (1, 0) would be a space (char 32)

feersum

right

maybe I will have to self-answer :P

The small things my work does for me are so nice. Last Monday they gave me a Pencil. Friday they brought donuts. Today they gave me 100 dollars just for being here for a year.

This stuff just randomly shows up on my desk every morning.

I got a little leprechaun figurine on St. Patrick's Day, a Santa Hat on Christmas, and other random freebies
