Some ad examples with different snippets

the multiple pictures aren't to say there'll be multiple ad submissions

they're rather examples of what the final ad could be

~~unless of course we did submit multiple ads and do a little group voting~~

the general concept is really good

i'd probably lean against the quine one and more towards the fenwick tree one

but the general framing is perfect

It's inspired by the language bar ad that shows the actual language bars

Maybe show a solution with an explanation?

@emanresuA not enough space

Besides, the idea is to make someone curious enough to click the ad and ask what it means here

lyxal

I think the code box fonts need to be a little bigger too

just testing different spacings/sizes

CMQ: What snippet for the ad?

Perhaps something that shows off the syntax highlighting? (any good snippets with nested loops or something?)

4 hours later…

The thing is, you say "Readable" but people probably won't think that's readable.

maybe you should explain it or something

@Steffan not enough space

+ if they don't know what it means, and they're curious they'll click the ad and be sent here where they can get a much better explanation than the ad could provide

emanresu A

Then put it all in the code box

lyxal

There's still not enough space

Explanations take several lines

You'd have to remove the footer box, which gets rid of the signature tag line

Y'all realise there's space restrictions right? It has to be 500x600

So I can't just go expanding boxes as I please

emanresu A

Can put the tagline in the code box, and shrink the font

that would lose some symmetry but not a bad idea

lyxal

It's an ad - you don't want to have to spend 5 minutes squinting at a smaller font when you can have big font to catch people's attention and then get them here, explain the ad and then teach the rest of the language
