Wow, that's a good kick XD

So what am I going to do after Halloween? I really like my new avatar... :P

Dennis

Keep it?

I'm changing mine to a ghost with a smiling face.

TheNumberOne

I will take off my costume after halloween.

@Zgarb Regarding HPR, do you have any hints on how to print the number?

nvmd, I think I found a way.

Optimizer

@TheNumberOne you mean the snake skin?

TheNumberOne

No, the witch hat :)

Yay, I solved HPR!!!!!!

Dennis

Congrats!

And thanks, I guess. :P

Optimizer

is FORTRAN still being used?

(in production systems)

@Optimizer yes, yes it is

Mortarboarded :D

The sad part about mortarboarding though is that I don't get any rep from all these upvotes I'm getting now...

TheDoctor

@quartata still read that as "motorboated"... every time

@quartata Well, you managed to beat me to it. (Although I've come within 10 points of it at least twice.)

Ziim is a great language... it's simply impossible to explain the code with anything resembling imperative pseudocode... so instead all I could do is tidy up the graph represented by the code and use that as an explanation o.O

@SuperJedi224 Why doesn't this work in MicroScript: i"em"2s"ykoops"d2sa

Outputs a bunch of spaghetti :/

TheDoctor

@MartinBüttner is there a program you used to make that graphic? or was it manually done?

Martin Büttner

Timwi provided me with a tool for doing that a while ago. I don't think it's published anywhere. It's not just a tool for generating diagrams... it's actually how I wrote the code (you can copy a text representation out of the program).

TheDoctor

hmm

Lembik

@timothymh hi

@timothymh are you about?

can anyone translate "Is it acceptable if the movement speed is defined by the key repeat speed? i.e. that the alien moves a certain amount every time a certain keystroke is pressed? " for me?

TheDoctor

:P

Vɪʜᴀɴ

@Lembik I think it means, each time the key is pressed the character moves a certain distance so the speed is determined by how often the key is pressed, or the key repeat speed

Lembik

@Vɪʜᴀɴ oh ok.. so the answer is no :)

SuperJedi224

@quartata the i instruction is numeric input, does that help you any?

quartata

@SuperJedi224 Right

I put in 3

So it should put 5 to the stack
