Collaborative editing can quickly become a textual rap battle fought with increasingly convoluted invocations of U+202a to U+202e.

quartata

@El'endiaStarman You don't, really.

ev3commander

guess what THOSE are

FlagAsSpam

SLOWLY move your cursor up from the caret in the message below the ಠ_ಠ

El'endia Starman

@Mego That doesn't seem to work in CoderPad.

quartata

Dec 1, 2015 22:00

You can get input with Console.ReadLine()

But you can't evaluate it like Python does

It'll just be a string.

@El'endiaStarman ?

ev3commander

@FlagAsSpam un-starable

@El'endiaStarman I dunno if CoderPad does weird stuff but that's how it should work

@FlagAsSpam I'd star that but I literally can't.

I can't get my mouse over the star button.

Optimizer

@FlagAsSpam ಠ_ಠ just do the zero height one and leave it there. dont post anything else until someone else has posted above and below your zero height

ev3commander

FlagAsSpam

Oh, well, yeah, because it has to show my name.

It's just a half-box on its own..

@Optimizer There's a button for that

@ev3commander that is zero width char.

ev3commander

Optimizer

ev3commander

Dec 1, 2015 22:08

aka u+200b

FlagAsSpam

zero-width ≠ zero-height

ev3commander

still

FlagAsSpam

That's the common one anyways. :P You can still do it with about 600 other unicode characters.

(I counted. :D)

And the whole setup is just a trap to capture escaping logicians. None of the doors actually lead out.

If I'm making a simple challenge, is it customary to prefix the title with "Simple"?

How do you add the tag-like styling?

I missed it, how do you write it?

FlagAsSpam

Dec 1, 2015 22:21

Would've thought the escape character did something funky.

@Optimizer

Optimizer

I meant your original zero height one

FlagAsSpam

Yeah.

Magic.

Actually really simple on Mac. xD

Optimizer

so u0000 is your original zero height?

FlagAsSpam

Yes.

ev3commander

Optimizer

Dec 1, 2015 22:22

It's uncopyable. So don't try. xD

You gets cookie.

FlagAsSpam

Dec 1, 2015 22:24

ಠ_ಠ cheater.

Optimizer

because windows wont copy anything below 0020

FlagAsSpam

No cookie for you.

Side note: I can't think of an OS that does.

Mac doesn't.

Ubuntu doesn't.

SuperJedi224

Optimizer

but on windows, unicode are hard to type as well. ascii code is easy to type

Rainbolt

Someone who figured it out should post because meta.stackexchange.com/search?q=zero+height+chat

Dec 1, 2015 22:25

I figured it out originally, I think. ;)

Optimizer

flasp figured

FlagAsSpam

I'll ask for a fix. :P

Rainbolt

I knew the trick eight years ago but I don't want to spoil it

Optimizer

well, even before that, we figured the u202 one
