The Nineteenth Byte

@MartinBüttner What about a case like a game with a programming easter egg, where the game is on Wikipedia? Does the language itself have to be the one that's documented?

@Sp3000 Sounds like you have something sinister planned. :P

Sp3000

No, just recalling that time I had to download an FPS (Unvanquished?) for a previous CnR because apparently the language was a console (debug? developer?) on the main screen of the game

I'm addicted to this Hello World quiz game.

ETHproductions

@AlexA. Never seen that before, but I got 1400 on my first try with my basic language knowledge (I haven't actually learned anything but Haxe/AS3 and Javascript, and a little Java). I think I may be addicted too....

Alex A.

4900 is the best I've gotten.

ETHproductions

@AlexA. Wow, that's pretty good....

Alex A.

I like programming languages.

ETHproductions

"Your score is 100!" LOL, I must have gotten lucky the first time.

FiM++, Shakespeare, and BF are just too easy...

Alex A.

2:01 AM

Nice, 7400.

Highest possible is 7500.

What whaaaaat

Awesome!

Alex A.

@BrainSteel Have you done the hello world quiz?

BrainSteel

I tried it many moons ago, it was fun :D I think, on my best run, I got ~1500-ish.

Alex A.

Pretty good :)

ETHproductions

I was doing something else a little while ago, and all of a sudden I thought, "Wouldn't it be funny if the game had a snippet in HQ9+?" And just now I found it... LOL

Alex A.

Haha

That was my first time seeing FiM++. Got it by process of elimination.

ETHproductions

2:31 AM

Unforgettable, though, once you get it right

Alex A.

Yes

ETHproductions

Man, I've never even heard of half of these languages...

BrainSteel

I can't tell the difference between various Javascript derivatives and I have very little knowledge of Ruby/Python/Perl, unfortunately.

ETHproductions

Is there actually a snippet in Chef? I haven't seen one yet...

Alex A.

Yes there is

ETHproductions

2:32 AM

"Hello World Cake with Chocolate Sauce", or another recipe?

Nvm, I'll find it myself

I keep getting confused between the various Java and C descendants...

Alex A.

Groovy looks like Java but it doesn't have parens around print.

BrainSteel

While I may suck at the Hello World quiz, my submission to Martin's challenge will be cool! I hope, anyway.

ETHproductions

Ah, there's Chef :)

Alex A.

@BrainSteel What language? :D

ETHproductions

@AlexA. Thanks for the Groovy tip, just ran across that

BrainSteel

2:36 AM

@AlexA. That's the fun part! You know how I only know one language... :P

Alex A.

Well you also learned Matlab recently.

BrainSteel

Ah, yes, that's true. I'm using a language I've never used here, though (mostly because it would be super obvious)

Alex A.

Hmmmmmm

BrainSteel

Though, if I do it right, it should be pretty clever. Not clever enough to win, but I think people will enjoy it :D It's taking me a long time to write, though.

Alex A.

I'll enjoy it.

BrainSteel

2:45 AM

I hope so ;) It's certainly going to take the position of "Worst code Dr. Brian Steele has ever conceived"

ETHproductions

I'm working on my own esoteric stack-based language.

BrainSteel

Ooooo?

ETHproductions

It's called 7, and it's entirely based on numbers.

I mean, the stack can only contain numbers.

BrainSteel

Is the code all numbers?

ETHproductions

That would be awesome, but no

My shortest "Hello World!" program is 45 chars long, so it's got aways to go.

If anyone's curious, that program is: 4**++o/++d*no++doo:+do:/+no---*+ro+dro--o/++o

BrainSteel

2:49 AM

Is it meant to be particularly golfy?

ETHproductions

Not really, just fun/challenging to golf.

I was hoping it would be good for golfing, but as it turns out, it's terrible ATM.

BrainSteel

I want to pronounce that code as "od no doo do no ro drooo." Very sing-song-y.

ETHproductions

I only have like the 20% most basic commands implemented, so it might turn out better than it looks right now.

LOL

'Foo' outputs 15 twice ;)

The thing that makes 7 unique is that you can only explicitly state a number at the very beginning of the program.

BrainSteel

Oh? What do you mean?

ETHproductions

All of the operations (+, -, *, /, etc.) are either made on the top two numbers on the stack, or between the top number and a 'base' number.

This base number is (by default) 7, but you can choose a custom 'base' at the beginning of the program.

BrainSteel

2:55 AM

Interesting :D

ETHproductions

Exactly :)

I'll upload the interpreter and docs somewhere after I get a few more commands working.

BrainSteel

Cool! You'll have to put a link in chat for us to look at.

ETHproductions

Will do!

I'm going to bed now; cya folks tomorrow!

Alex A.

Bye!

I'm also working on a language (half-assedly).

Alex A.

@BrainSteel Are you C only or do you dabble in C++?
