The sturdy squares question has a complete list of sturdy squares, which is inside a code block with vertical scroll bars.

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I got rid of the designer partial class, compiler/debugger decorators, and shoved it all into one file

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Oh. lol

Ok good, 1839 is quite a lot of bytes

I was wondering... would this be considered a valid codegolf answer?

A: Hello World 0.0!

Hieroglyphy With 0s, 6129 Golfed down from a generated expression in pure hieroglyphy (itself a variant of the infamous JSF***) which was 7999 bytes long. Basically exploits the oddities of javascript's type system to generate the string using only the character set [](){}+!0. [][(![]+[])[!0+!...

Is there a list of language syntax highlighting tags?

Anonymous

Like language: lang-python and language: lang-c++?

SuperJedi224

There may be one.

El'endia Starman

Yes, on Meta.SE.

Google it.

Any Microscript II feature requests?

quartata

El'endia Starman

@SuperJedi224 Does anyone else USE Microscript II?

If not, you are the one that requests features. :P

@quartata When do you become unmortarboarded?

SuperJedi224

I haven't actually officially released it yet. I have seen other users using the original.

@quartata It already has implicit printing of the first variable

El'endia Starman

Already +1'd...

SuperJedi224

I can add a "print the stack" instruction as well, I suppose.

quartata

@SuperJedi224 It does? Oh.

What this tells me is that I'm the only one insane enough to answer in VB.NET

I upvoted all of your answers

El'endia Starman

@SuperJedi224 We know. :P

They hate me. That's why they are doing this.

El'endia Starman

It's fun being able to torture someone by simply upvoting. :P

flint + stick + feather yay!

SuperJedi224

Also, I have now run out of flint.

El'endia Starman

Do you have gravel?

SuperJedi224

Yes.

El'endia Starman

Every time you break gravel, there is a chance it will drop flint instead.

Regardless of whether you placed it or not.

SuperJedi224

23:16

Yeah, I know.

El'endia Starman

So, build a gravel tower, shovel down, repeat. :P

SuperJedi224

I'm busy replanting my sugar cane right now.

El'endia Starman

Replanting? Just chop off the top blocks and leave the bottom block untouched.

Unless you're moving it...

SuperJedi224

You know, that would probably be a good idea, but I keep forgetting.

Thomas Kwa

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You may want to sort the dictionary by approximate frequency in English

El'endia Starman

23:22

A fairly good idea, but probably won't help that much.

SuperJedi224

Maybe I can make an automatic sugar cane harvester like the one I have for my pumpkins.

I'd have to move my sugar cane further from my nether portal building first though

El'endia Starman

You can just write the for that word, so doing that would only be helpful for 4-character words.

SuperJedi224

My sugar cane patch at present:

El'endia Starman

I wonder how many 4-letter words there are in that list. If there are less than 93, then that'd be good.

SuperJedi224

Why 93?

El'endia Starman

23:27

In @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ's new language Chaine, you can get any dictionary word by doing :...:, where the ... is treated as a base-93 number and :...: gets the word at that index in the dictionary.

Question: How does one use Bubblegum?

SuperJedi224

Luckily, I have 12 stacks of iron.

Thomas Kwa

Actually, how does one use download and use any interpreter for a language?

SuperJedi224

@ThomasKwa: The article provides a reference implementation in Python. You'll need a python interpreter, but I'm sure Google can find one for you.

:P

Thomas Kwa

I already have one

@SuperJedi224 my question is about using the command line/shell to run it

SuperJedi224

If python doesn't add a python command, you can add one yourself by editing the path variable to add a path to the directory containing python.exe

Thomas Kwa

what?

(I have a Mac)

What's a path, and what's a path variable?

SuperJedi224

Windows has a %PATH% system variable which contains a list of directory paths

It looks for executables, batch files, etc. located in those directories when resolving most terminal commands

mınxomaτ

PATH is accessible from the currently active terminal session in Windows. You can put executables or Batch files there.

Damn, sniped :)

Anonymous

23:37

On mac, open a terminal, export PATH=$PATH:path/to/python

mınxomaτ

Of course, OS X has PATH, too

Anonymous

Yep, OS X is just FreeBSD with an expensive desktop environment

Thomas Kwa

@Mego What directory do I run it from, and what does that do?

Anonymous

@ThomasKwa Any directory, it just appends your python executable's directory to your PATH envvar

@Mego My terminal entry command is export PATH=$PATH:~/Library/Android/sdk/tools:~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools && clear

So if your python was on your desktop, export PATH=$PATH:~/Desktop/Python/bin

Q: Alex is sometimes right

This challenge is to lift the spirits of our mod Alex A., who is usually wrong. Suppose you have a friend named Alex who needs help with basic logic and math, specifically mathematical equivalence. He gives you a list of equations of the form [variable] = [variable] where a [variable] is alwa...

Looks like someone beat you to it. ;)

SuperJedi224

Alright, I think I've got enough.

TheDoctor

@Mauris is there an online gs2 interpreter?

Mauris

Not that I know of. Here's the interpreter (for Python 2).

SuperJedi224

Next step: Block of the end and find some water

TheDoctor

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gs2.py", line 299, in run

SuperJedi224

I need another 8 pistons...

:(

TheDoctor

@SuperJedi224 what are you building?

SuperJedi224

I'm upgrading my sugar cane plot. The new version will include an automatic harvester.

TheDoctor

@Mauris am I running it wrong?

SuperJedi224

And after I crafted another 8 I only wound up needing 6.
