@ՊՓԼՃՐՊՃՈԲՍԼ Thanks for the advice. My teammate rejected my code review though. He didn't like protected void SomethingThatShouldntHappenInRealLife(RadTreeNode node) { ... }
First day of Programming I: "Today we're going to print Hello, world! in Java. For now, I want you to burn these magic words into your head: public static void main string args. They won't mean anything to you for a while, but we'll get there."
Yea, beginners should definitely be put into an environment where the modifiers are mostly implied or hidden, so they can be surprised to find them later.
Then you have to understand the REPL, and how it saves state. I much prefer the introduction of "Your program has one entry point and one exit point unless you screw up."
by the time I've stopped typing public static void main string args I've already finished Arrow the Flash and Daredevil and am weeping over the lack of superhero shows to watch :(
@Cyoce There are 137 episodes combined of Arrow, The Flash, and Daredevil. There are 35 characters in public static void main string args. You average approximately one character per 3.63 hours, making you the slowest typist I have ever met.
You love watching the snow falling outside, but you know it won't be snowing much longer, so you decide to make a snow animation so you can see it snowing all year.

You know how when programming games come out we sometimes have a chat dedicated to it? Like we had the TIS-100 chat and the Infinifactory chat and whatever? I'm legitimately surprised puzzling.se doesn't have a chat about The Witness.
> we propose a stronger coding strategy, which can provide higher compression ratios and higher security towards all possible ways in which of attacks while transmission
When I'm playing The Witness and taking notes, I don't usually use many words because they take a long time to write down and I know what I mean anyway. As a result, my notes for solving a puzzle in The Witness look like they themselves could be a puzzle in a different game. I won't onebox it because I guess you could technically consider it spoilers...
@Roujo One time I went to My Computer and it told me my drive had 0 bytes left. It was obviously wrong because I took a screenshot and it let me save it. :P
@Sp3000 It's really early, I just overthought this puzzle. 3/4ths of the information is unnecessary to find the solution :P
Lose/Lose is a space invaders clone but the invaders are generated based on random files on your hard drive. If you get hit, the game closes and deletes itself. Kill an enemy first? It deletes that file.
It only just occurred to me that if I'm taking notes that I'm going to want to take notes on later (e.g. copying down a map, i might want to draw on that map some ideas or something) I shouldn't write it in pencil and then darker pencil on top. If I write it in pen and then write on top with pencil I can erase just the new notes. :)

Most everyone is familiar with the Fibonacci numbers F(n):
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 ...
These are formed by the recursion function F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) with F(0)=0 and F(1)=1. A000045
A related sequence is the Lucas numbers L(m):
2, 1, 3, 4...
Angular is currently The Big Mistake floating around like a virus. There's always at least one floating around proclaiming itself The Answer with adherents growing in number constantly.
@Sp3000 Part of why you're having trouble might be that I had to invent my own notation to compensate for not having enough distinct colours. A pencil circle means "white" and a sharpie circle means "this colour but light"

The goal of this challenge is to make a program that outputs the nth letter of its source code where n is given as input to the program. Like most quine challenges, you are not allowed to read your source code as a file or use any builtin quine functions.
Input
An integer 0 <= n < len(program)....
I remember that any linear recursions can be expressed quite efficiently with iteration. The following function (Java code) is a linear recursions. It uses repeated squaring and its memory usage is O(logn).

Any single digit works, of course. Not exactly the most interesting challenge in Pyth.
