@Geobits What is this one?
 
And a couple from previous years.
 
@Geobits 2spoop
 
@AlexA. A dragon? I thought it was at least recognizable :(
 
Hey @Doorknob thoughts on my truth machine catalog?
 
3:01 AM
No particular dragon, if that's what you meant.
 
@Geobits Sorry, just had to look at the larger version. It looks great. :)
 
@Geobits I recognized it
 
So yea, I need an idea for this year. I was going to do a creeperman last year, but didn't get around to it.
 
@quartata your what?
 
@Geobits Trump
Very spooky
 
3:05 AM
^
 
@AlexA. I know Halloween is supposed to be scary, but that might be a bit too scary.
 
@Doorknob a new catalog I have in the sandbox
 
/me is too lazy to go look for it
 
You're not missing anything. :P
slam
(sorry quartatoes)
 
3:11 AM
what
 
Don't worry about it.
 
@Doorknob I'll get the link one second
 
Hmm...

Q: Who has the most stars in The Nineteenth Byte?

GamrCorpsNote: this challenge involves downloading and sifting through HTML webpages. If your language cannot handle this you might not want to participate in this challenge. Introduction There are always discussions over in The Nineteenth Byte about who leads the starboard. So, lets help everyone out a...

 
chrome is giving me a lot of problems today
Can't get the permalink
 
3:17 AM
I feel like GamrCorps should have picked a starboard from a more representative day :P
 
I just did the current one, oh well
 
How is me leading the count not representative? :P
 
lol
 
Fastest tag editor in the west
 
Or at least that's what I would say if I weren't so modest about it.
I'm probably the most modest person ever.
 
3:19 AM
thanks btw, @quartata I was looking for a tag like but couldn't think of a name for it
 
np m9
 
@GamrCorps Please remove the profanity from the image. People in chat don't care but it's a good idea to keep it off the main page.
 
there is, shoot I didn't notice that, right on it!
 
Maybe just pick something else from the transcript
 
YAYYY Stable internet .-.
 
3:24 AM
Aww, I did it in red but got ninjad :(
Meta question: Can we please just put an explanation of leaderboards on Meta somewhere and link to it instead of having to do it for every question? The leaderboard itself takes up a bit of room even without having to explain in detail how it works every time.
2
 
Agreed.
 
Personally I liked how it's self contained, but maybe that's just me
 
I did at first... but then seeing it and having to scroll past it on a growing percentage of questions has changed my mind.
 
Well to be fair, one of the answer template questions recommends the header so people can get into the habit of putting it for leaderboard and non-leaderboard questions.
 
Peter will be pissed because you're asking for h1 (#) for the snippet. :P
 
3:31 AM
Why?
 
Peter wants everyone to use h2 (##).
Personally I don't care.
I probably won't switch.
 
I think that horse left the stable long ago.
 
Oh is that why he edited my calculator question by changing all the #s to ##s earlier?
 
What
 
@AlexA. h2 ftw! \o/
 
3:32 AM
@Doorknob No
@GamrCorps Yes
 
I think I have a few ##s on early answers, but I have long since jumped on the # bandwagon.
 
I personally prefer h1s
 
Me too
 
3:33 AM
@AlexA. codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/62182/… "chat does not have an official API"
 
its much easier to find specific answers that way
 
ok well looks like I'm thoroughly outnumbered
I guess that just means that lots of people are wrong
 
What I really dislike is seeing mostly h1s with a couple of h2s.
 
SAME
 
then why don't you edit the h1s into h2s? :D
 
3:33 AM
@PhiNotPi Good call, thanks.
@Doorknob I've done the reverse several times. ;)
 
@Doorknob that would be more work than needed since there are more h1s
 
What's even the difference between h1 and h2?
 
one
 
Size
lal
 
h1 is bigger, h2 is smaller
 
3:34 AM
@AlexA. That was actually made as a joke
 
h1 is nicer, h2 is crap
 
I like to use =
 
@PhiNotPi ಠ_ಠ Should I change it back?
 
I would use h2 more if h3 was not almost exactly the same size as bold.
 
@PhiNotPi GROSS! I edit that out whenever I have to edit an answer for another reason.
 
3:35 AM
Pardon my ignorance, but why is it a big deal if a HTML page has multiple <h1> tags?
 
It isn't.
Nobody cares.
 
v
 
Except for Peter and Doorknob.
 
@PhiNotPi using = and h1s give the same size
 
Yeah
 
3:36 AM
@AlexA. Amen!
 
@GamrCorps They both make h1s.
# == =
 
@AlexA. therefore, the same size
 
Yes
 
For me, it was always # -> biggest possible Markdown formattting -> belongs to head of post.

^
 
3:37 AM
^
 
# should really be a <h2>, not a <h1>
 
and ## should be a <h3>, etc.
 
@Doorknob That's what I've been saying to Peter. The font size doesn't even have to change. It's a coding style issue, if I understand it correctly.
 
@Dennis But as long as # remains a <h1> (i.e. probably forever), I still prefer to use ##.
 
Why?
 
I initially used # then switched over to ## a week or so ago. I think it fits better with the question title being an h1.
 
3:39 AM
@AlexA. because it renders as a <h2>
 
Even better: make ## create <h1> tags!
 
which is what I want
@GamrCorps ಠ_ಠ
 
Does anyone here work with game engines?
 
I sometimes use all three in a post. I can't do that if I use ## for what is supposed to be the biggest.
 
@AlienG I've done a teeny tiny bit with the Blender game engine but not enough to be a useful resource.
 
3:40 AM
How about make regular text bold, so that h1 tags look like h2 tags because of proportions?
 
I've only ever used the Blender Game Engine for physics. :P
 
@AlexA. Blender O_O (Oh god)
 
How about we all type in plain, monospace text?
 
okay
 
3:41 AM
Comic Sans is better than this.
 
No idea what that means.
 
[tag:sad-face]
 
:3
 
roflcopter
 
oh no! tags dont work!
 
3:41 AM
@AlienG What's wrong with Blender?
(I say, generally disliking Blender)
 
I prefer Maya over Blender
 
...*I* like Blender...
 
My girlfriend likes Maya.
 
@AlexA. It was meant more of a 3d modeler than a game engine...
 
Maya, not so much.
 
3:43 AM
@AlienG But there is BGE, the Blender Game Engine. There are games written in BGE.
 
For instance, I found a bug summer of 2013 where removing a light meant that attempting to save would crash Maya.
 
@AlexA. Alright, I'll allow it...
 
haha
 
Seriously. How does a professional 3D modeling program have such a fundamental bug?
 
@AlienG I've worked with Source a lot.
 
I rebel too!
Why not both?
^ He has a point.
 
1. 2 kind of but not really exists
 
@GamrCorps Not rebelling, just do know how ;_;
 
Both? Both is impossible!
@AlienG same ways as inline code when writing questions
 
@quartata Sorry, I'm getting mixed with skype...
test
 
No clue if this is working
 
Oh heh

Q: Will it ambigram?

molarmanfulFirst challenge! What is an ambigram? Ambigrams are word(s) that read the same word(s) or another word given a certain transformation and possibly stylistic alterations. Example: That's an example of a rotational ambigram; it reads the same word, even when flipped around. The Challenge Yo...

 
@AlexA. XD
 
@NewMainPosts SFOTW
 
3:47 AM
@Dennis ?
 
So I'll take it as a no for Unity 3D (Other then the 30s for @GamrCorps)
 
@quartata Slowest feed of the West.
 
@AlienG My girlfriend could help but she isn't here atm.
 
@AlexA. Ow, that hurts.
 
3:48 AM
@AlienG I thought about downloading Unity to try it out once, then decided against it. Does that count?
 
Why does it hurt...?
@PhiNotPi hahahahahahaahahaha
 
@AlexA. Lolz.
 
@AlexA. Then who can help? XD
 
NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU NOW
 
do we consider HTML + CSS a programming language?
 
3:49 AM
No
 
^^^ not a terrible slogan for the room
 
I've never used Unity but plenty of my friends swear by it. What are you trying to make?
 
He's making a FPS replacement for GNU Make
You gun down the binaries
 
@GamrCorps Nope.
@AlexA. Also, did you just imply that your girlfriend uses Unity .-.?
 
Yes
 
3:50 AM
HTML+CSS+JavaScript might count, but is cutting it close.
 
@AlienG I didn't mean to imply it, I was trying to say it directly. :P
 
@GamrCorps Yes.

A: Is CSS turing complete?

JakobYou can encode Rule 110 in CSS3, so it's Turing-complete so long as you consider an appropriate accompanying HTML file and user interactions to be part of the “execution” of CSS. A pretty good implementation is available, and another implementation is included here (JsFiddle version): <!DOCTYPE ...

 
Alien I can't help you if you don't tell me what you are making :P
 
Little aliens?
 
Babies
 
3:52 AM
Little alien babies?
 
Little alien babies
 
ha beat ya to it
 
@AlexA. Lucky man, she's a keeper.
 
wat
 
For using Unity....? I dunno....
 
3:52 AM
@Geobits Better than one who can't.
 
Well, I have to go for the night. Good night everybody!
 
@AlienG Yes, but regardless of her knowledge of Unity. :P
 
And what's with this Alien baby talk...? -.-
 
@GamrCorps Good night. Don't let the little baby aliens byte.
 
Must be the peanut butter.
 
3:53 AM
@Dennis why was that the first thing that popped into your head
 
@AlexA. I wont
 
@AlexA. Well, it's a +1
@GamrCorps They're coming for you. Bet on it.
@quartata Wan't a simple explanation of the problem?
 
Sure
 
@quartata By simple I mean quite long...
 
Long enough for a well-written SO post? >_>
 
3:55 AM
D:
 
Yes go ahead
 
@quartata I don't know why, but it did.
 
He has his own little baby alien. :P
 
@quartata Basically, I have a player with a camera looking at it at a 60D angle and when the player rotates so does the camera. The problem is that if I get a world position form a mouse position then the player spins towards that position (This part is ok) then the camera spins.... Changing the mouse position... (Get the point?)
@AlexA. Baby Aliens. (Weird)
:25047710 Course, that was mine & gamrcorp's solution.
 
Oh. I thought you were trying to pick an enginelol
 
3:57 AM
@quartata Nope. (Unity 3D)
I posted a code-golf challenge for this but all the answers were well.. code-golfed.
 
Are you rotating with the mouse?
 
@Geobits With?
 
With.
 
With.
 
Does mouse movement cause the rotation?
 
3:58 AM
@Geobits Yes.
 
I am an idiot pt 2
 
Horizontal rotation only?
 
@Geobits Yeah.
So what I have currently....
 
Ok, so why does the mouse's world position come into play at all?
