third programming language made by me :D

GamrCorps

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ neat! Also happy that I pronounced it right without looking at how

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@GamrCorps Nice one ^_^ approving thumb

Sp3000

For certain definitions of "language" :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Sp3000 Oh well. this was accepted as a language, that must be.

Sp3000

Personally I wouldn't consider that one a language either, more an encoding. But who am I to decide? :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:01 AM

IDK

El'endia Starman

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It's easy to make programming languages. Not so easy to make them good or useful. :P

GamrCorps

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman Granted. Though 2/3 of mine are useful. Sacred is a joke.

GamrCorps

whats the third one?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Simplex

GamrCorps

1:05 AM

really? I never knew that.

El'endia Starman

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Nary seems like it might be a meta-language.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman It sort of is. But it's practical.

PhiNotPi

I'm going to cast my vote for "Nary doesn't qualify as a programming language"

GamrCorps

strawpoll it

El'endia Starman

Well, MetaGolfScript isn't much liked.

PhiNotPi

1:07 AM

strawpoll.me/5853513

El'endia Starman

Nary might run afoul of that particular loophole (generalized).

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Lol. On my profile page I have it classified as a joke, calm down. ಠ_ಠ

GamrCorps

I gotcha Conor

Sp3000

Having said that, I wouldn't really count Unary/Lenguage either, but shrugs that one's better received for some reason

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

My profile

El'endia Starman

1:09 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You need to add Simplex.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman Ik. I haven't gotten a stable enough of an implementation nor the time.

Sp3000

Just add a stub?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Sp3000 You are wonderful. I sincerely mean that. I never thought of that :P

Sp3000

I'd add all the commands as well, but like you I'm in the "not really stable, things will probably change" stage too

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

BTW I can't wait until Gol><> becomes stable

El'endia Starman

1:12 AM

I wonder if I will ever beat Sp3000 at Gol><> and/or if he will ever beat me at Minko. :P

TheDoctor

the twentieth byte

Sp3000

I'm sure Minko's better at some things atm, e.g. recursion's more painful for Gol><>

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

the e^pi - pi th byte

GamrCorps

the e^(pi*i) + 20 th byte

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Actually, it's probably better that Nary isn't a programming language. Looking at this question, it'd score 5 bytes ಠ_ಠ if done properly

Sp3000

1:15 AM

btw @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ one thing I'm curious is about is why your Simplex dropsort is so long

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Sp3000 1) I don't have support for tuple-inputs/eval. 2) Merely accessing the element from within the map function costs 2 bytes. 3) Simplex is Brainfuck, except golfier.

Sp3000

You can read one int at a time though, right?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Yeah, u{vnRux} o_o I'm sure there's a way to make that down to about ~4 bytes, but I haven't found it yet.

Sp3000

o_O

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Whoops. Wrong command put. It should be u{viRux}

El'endia Starman

1:19 AM

Is that a loop or is it just a single get-integer-from-input?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman {...} is a loop, and loops until } is met whilst the pointer is on a zero-cell

El'endia Starman

ah-ha

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

holy frick what have I become!? I know Simplex better than I know JavaScript! Ahhhhhh

El'endia Starman

....well yeah, you made it.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I know, but it's still creepy. ~~It's like knowing your daughter/son better than your wife/husband.~~

El'endia Starman

1:23 AM

.......that's an interesting metaphor and not one I would've chosen. :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

It's the first one that came to mind ;-; any suggestions?

El'endia Starman

Three dashes.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ No, because I don't think it's weird or creepy. :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman Omg thanks XD and huh.

~~strike------througs~~

GamrCorps

Its like knowing the back of your hand better than you know your address

El'endia Starman

Nope. Cannot strikethrough a single dash. :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:25 AM

--- - ---

Sp3000

I... think I know my address better :P

El'endia Starman

Same.

:P

GamrCorps

Well then you don't have this problem

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@GamrCorps XD

El'endia Starman

I'd say I know Python and Minkolang about equally well. The reason being that I don't actually fully know how Minkolang should behave in all possible situations.

Doorknob

1:27 AM

I know Snowman better than Haskell

(I don't know Haskell)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Doorknob I was about to say...!

GamrCorps

I know {language I know} better than {language I don't}

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I know ES6 better than ES5 :P

Sp3000

I'd say I still know Python better, but still not as well as I need to

El'endia Starman

(As in, the Esolangs page is "Fish".)

Yeah.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I hate Simplex sometimes. Copying a string from one strip to another is this: sdRlMy@u&yᴠy.

El'endia Starman

1:38 AM

Sounds like a job for a built-in! :P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman that awkward moment when all the characters are used

El'endia Starman

Time to re-assign some of them!

Or start using two-character commands.

Minkolang had $ as a functionality toggle early on and that definitely helped me save characters to be assigned later.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@El'endiaStarman AFAIK the only way to do that is to reserve a character to indicate one.

GamrCorps

or map 2+ commands to certain characters like CJam (I dont know simplex so I don't know if this will work or not)

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

~~Wait what?~~

El'endia Starman

1:40 AM

Most of those are going to go bye-bye soon though, when I implement a bunch of useful features.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@GamrCorps You mean like mapping command X to a character, say, Δ?

GamrCorps

For example (In CJam), % has like 3 different functions: mod, split, and map, depending on what is on the top of the stack

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Oh, yeah, I've done that.

Though Simplex only has two data types: numbers (interpreted as integers and reals) and tuples.

GamrCorps

chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/24992107#24992107 strings arent one?

El'endia Starman

...now I've started considering making it possible to have lists and strings as elements on the stack...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:43 AM

^

El'endia Starman

@GamrCorps A string is a list of ASCII codes.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@GamrCorps No. It's like Brainfuck (^)

GamrCorps

Oh, I see

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

And really, the "string" command in simplex turns the strip into this: [s ASCII value, t ASCII value...]

Well, this is my uniqchar: sdRlMy@u&yᴠy{@uz{R}lMyR&^Q?[&s]}

El'endia Starman

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Is that where you print out only unique characters (of the input string)?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:45 AM

@El'endiaStarman Yup. I could probably do something with mapping now that I think about it

El'endia Starman

...[slow grin]...

$oS$O.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Those six characters hurt me deeply XD

El'endia Starman

hehehe

S does the magic. It's the remove-duplicates command.

The mnemonic is "set".

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1:47 AM

Idt you can use builtins

El'endia Starman

If you want the unique characters to be sorted, then it's $oSs$O..

GamrCorps

"No built-ins for finding unique elements in an array can be used"

ah, okay then

phews

Given a string consisting of printable ASCII chars, produce an output consisting of its unique chars in the original order. In other words, the output is the same as the input except that a char is removed if it has appeared previously. No built-ins for finding unique elements in an array can be...

Oh that would be so cool!

El'endia Starman

@Sp3000 I do use the codebox.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Sp3000

-1 on EOF, but E doesn't check for that any more

Still working out what to do on EOF actually, now that that's changed

Donner Party

The Donner Party (sometimes called the Donner-Reed Party) was a group of American pioneers led by George Donner and James F. Reed who set out for California in a wagon train. Delayed by a series of mishaps and mistakes, they spent the winter of 1846–47 snowbound in the Sierra Nevada. Some of the migrants resorted to cannibalism to survive. The journey west usually took between four and six months, but the Donner Party was slowed by following a new route called Hastings Cutoff, which crossed Utah's Wasatch Mountains and Great Salt Lake Desert. The rugged terrain, and difficulties encountered while...

@Optimizer I haven't posted it, since I don't have a byte count yet.

ah, we already have some answers in this language

see this codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/48556/…

timothymh

Ah, okay, I'll do that then. Thanks!

Optimizer

some answers simply mentioned X blocks for questions which were not code-golf

though you dont need to mention at all in those cases

Haha, I knew this was by @Martin by just looking at the name:

> The Combinatorics of Transistor

^ What's a good name for that pattern?

How??

Optimizer

Imagination :P

@Calvin'sHobbies Circles everywhere!

Also, it looks like it's recursive. Am I right?

Yeah, it's totally a recursive pattern.

I want to see level 3! :P

Calvin's Hobbies

@El'endiaStarman Yeah. It could have more levels but I didn't want to edit them in.

El'endia Starman

But anyway, what do you mean by "name"?

I'm making a graphical-output for it and I need a title like "Draw Fancy Circles"

El'endia Starman

Gotcha.

"Partially nest circles, recursively!"

Calvin's Hobbies

The recursion won't be part of the challenge :/

El'endia Starman

oh :(

"Overflowing nests"?

Calvin's Hobbies

Hmm

Optimizer

"Weird circle thingy"?

@Calvin'sHobbies the context was that somebody wanted to add a logic-based challenge and couldn't find anything similar, but I found a (probable) duplicate because I remembered aspects of it; I suggested adding this tag to make it easier

I'm pretty sure there are more challenges that fit the tag, but not most challenges, as (IMO) this is supposed to be for problems about logical deduction, not just involving logical deduction

Calvin's Hobbies

Is there a way to get around the 15 char minimum for question titles? I've got 14

@Doorknob would know this

aditsu

unicode?

insert zero-width space..
