I'm still trying to figure out how I want Slip's output to work :( (eg whether to return strings in addition to matched cells, whether to have cells matched multiple times included more than once...)
It's about time I did this anyway :P makes writing unit tests easier
@AlexA. The girlfriend has night shifts this week, and with me not having any lectures and the code jam the other day I sorta got dragged into her sleep cycle.
Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs... Polynesia: A Mustard for Sausage.
(As an aside, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a great horror game. Stuff like that doesn't usually frighten me, but that game made me so tense I almost threw up. Real talk.)
It's kind of neat. I distinctly remember a long conversation about how it seems probability experimentally follows our mathematical model, but by probability alone it would be impossible to verify... or something. And yeah, in a perfect world (which ours isn't) we would each have 3+ :P
seeing that this is the third time I had to put together a list like this, I figured I could just do it right for once, so it doesn't take as long next time :D
Ah, I forgot something. There's a great sampler done by oxide tones, called Ode to an Unspoken Movement (they had a kickstarter for it, but didn't get funded, but released the album as a download anyway). There's a lot of great stuff on that sampler.
(in addition to instrumental stuff, there are also two amazing tracks by the UK math rock band Monsters Build Mean Robots. check out 24. A Town Called Tourettes.)
@AlexA. I played accordion and keyboard for years (like... 9 or so) as a kid, but in a pretty shitty music school, so I sort of gave it up. maybe I'll pick up proper piano lessons again some day, or start drums or something.
This has now happened three times in recent history:

Stringing a Pearl Necklace
How do I get more Klotski in my life?
All questions have technically correct and unambiguous win conditions. However I strongly believe that their way of scoring is anti-fun.

Challenge idea: print the longest prefix of a given text with an N-by-N codeblock (N is arbitrary) while there is no row or column with two of the same character in it.
Flit - a simple board game for bots

Note: adjacency is vertical or horizontal - for this game there are no diagonal neighbours.

The board is a square grid. Each bot starts with 2 pieces of their colour, and gains more pieces by converting neutral pieces that appe...
Well, the main difference, in terms of movement, is that players have a "strength" meter which determines how far they can move that turn. It basically allows sprinting for short periods of time.
(I think we are going to have to implement a more advanced way to determine which moves are safe.)
Quiz time. Which ones of these regexes compiles in Java: A. "(?<=.*a)" B. "(?<=a.*)" C. "(?<=.*a.*)" D. "(?<=.*a.*.*)" E. "(?<=.*)" F. "(?<=.*..*..*..*..*)"
Would someone mind editing my post's name in the Sandbox list? It's currently under 'A New Kind of KOTH - Work with other bots', but I've changed it so much that the title is now misleading.
Generating Euclidean rhythms
Did you know that the Euclidean algorithm is capable of generating traditional musical rhythms? Here's how it works.
Pick a positive integer n, the total number of beats, and a positive integer k, the number of beats which are sounded. We can think of the rhythm as ...
