Q: How to take multiline input?

DJ McMayhemI'm going to post a challenge that requires taking a multiple line string as input. What's the best way to go about this? I don't want any languages to be excluded because they can't take input in a certain way. Should I Let each poster determine how they want to take input? This might lead to ...

 
hi.. sorry I missed some people
any of them still here?
 
@dorothy I'm still here! I'm always here. Always...
 
I made you all this PPCG doodle in my traditional doodling style
 
I tried to onebox it for you and failed
 
10:04 PM
@AlexA. but did you ask me a question about my challenge? :)
several people did in this chat when I wasn't here
 
@AlexA. It needs an extension: i.imgur.com/bd0uPGA.jpg
 
@Doorknob冰 I was 2 ahead at one point , but then I got a downvote for the I Spy question - oh well. Not like I keep track of these sorts of things, of course
 
haha
 
@trichoplax yes :)
 
@quartata Yes, this is definitely applescript ;-). The applescript output is more fun too
 
10:13 PM
Whoa people,.
 
Happy Birthday @Doorknob冰!
That's a thing I'm doing now
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ What... is this
 
@AlexA. My doorknob sucked.
So I did I doorhandle.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That's a doorhandle, not a doorknob!
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
10:14 PM
(haha, thanks :P)
 
I would star but I've used up all of mine
 
No prob ^_^
Pixel art is like code golf, but with art
 
What's the difference between a door handle and an asymmetrical doorknob?
 
Handles don't turn
Wait
 
10:15 PM
They kind of do
 
door handles are topologically equivalent to doorknobs
 
Uhh
@undergroundmonorail No
Ascii art time, i guess?
 
o---,
 
Here's a doorknob:

10:16 PM
Anyone good enough at Japt to help me with this?
 
@ןnɟuɐɯɹɐןoɯ I can try
 
@El'endiaStarman That's not really anything special, is it?
 
It'd save me three seconds!
Actually, probably more once I get good at it.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ kthx
 
And it's good for blowing people's minds!
 
10:18 PM
It's similar to how you can join two rubber bands with a square knot without cutting them.
 
Which I've not done often, but I think I know what you're talking about.
 
@ןnɟuɐɯɹɐןoɯ Does this work? UbVr'."[^$&]
b is search IIRC
 
I personally prefer the turquoise turtle knot: fieggen.com/shoelace/turquoiseturtleknot.htm
 
@trichoplax probably knows a lot about the turquoise turtle knot.

I was going to report a R# issue, only to discover they have 706006 open tickets :O
 
10:20 PM
@mınxomaτ o_o
 
Here's a better doorknob: o
 
@AlexA. There's a what?!??
 
@AlexA. did you find yourself in it?
 
@BlockCoder1392 Here's an even better doorknob:
 
That's not ascii art.
 
10:21 PM
@BlockCoder1392 I googled for a doorknob unicode symbol and the first hit is @Doorknob冰 solving someones unicode issues on askubuntu. :D
 
@PhiNotPi that's a lot about knots
@mınxomaτ hahaha, which answer?

10:23 PM
@PhiNotPi Apparently I've always used this knot without ever knowing it.

Here's what I got:

@Doorknob冰 this kind of looks like a knob on a door
 
@Doorknob冰 Dang. Beaten by a youngster.
 
10:24 PM
@dorothy Probably best to edit that in :)
 
But seriously though, I can't remember a time when a turquoise turtle knot came untied.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That doesn't seem to work...
Seems like b is indexOf not search
 
@ןnɟuɐɯɹɐןoɯ Huh.
OH RIGHT REGEX
 
@Doorknob冰 I always used that knot too, and also never knew the name. :P
 
10:25 PM
I'm not sure it this knot would go over well: fieggen.com/shoelace/halloweenknot.htm
 
@BlockCoder1392 DOUBLESTRUCK

this looks like a doorknob too

@Doorknob冰 I'd say that looks like the Enterprise.
 
@Doorknob冰 Ukranian?
 
@ןnɟuɐɯɹɐןoɯ Japt doesn't seem to have string search o__o
 
@Doorknob冰 That is korean, not ukranian.
 
10:28 PM
@mınxomaτ No, it's not
It's definitely not Korean
 
@BlockCoder1392 I don't know, did I say cheating?
 
ukoreanian
 
@RikerW Did I?
Test
 
@BlockCoder1392 No, you didn't, I have post-traumatic amnesia and honestly couldn't remember. :P
 
Did ETHproductions make Japt? Or is he just hosting it?
 
10:30 PM
Is 2 regular 2?
 
@Doorknob冰 That symbol is not. I just now realized it is one symbol. It would look the same in korean: ㅏㅇ (though it wouldn't make sense).
 
No! @ALEXA YOU LIED
36 mins ago, by Alex A.
Italic 2 is regular 2 ;(
NOT

@mınxomaτ That... isn't really Korean. It's made up of Korean letters, but the first has no consonants and the second has no vowels (which is impossible in Korean).
 
too big :/
 
10:31 PM
@Doorknob冰 That's what I said. It wouldn't make sense.

@PhiNotPi nope
 
How to do italic backslash?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ That's sad :(
I guess that's why I went off the 256 chars for aliasing

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ He made it.

@ןnɟuɐɯɹɐןoɯ oh
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ We'll see. Hopefully.

Q: Can I live here?

DJ McMayhemIn the game Terraria, one of the game mechanics involves building houses so that an NPC can move in. There is a strict set of rules for what counts as a valid house or not. Here is the list of rules: The total area in the house must be at least 60 square tiles, but less than 750. Also, the size...

 
10:38 PM
Did you use a different Unicode character, @Doorknob冰?
 
Nope
 
@El'endiaStarman You failed as soon as you said "without cheating."
 
regular backslash: \
italic backslash: ​\​
 
@PhiNotPi By "cheating" I meant looking at Doorknob's history/"editing" his message.
 
Thank you, @New Main Posts.

@RikerW That's not at all what I said.
heh heh, 'tis okay
But also, I found out about this song because I follow that YouTube channel, and they post a few epic songs daily.

Is creating walls of Zalgo acceptable in this room?
 
@ןnɟuɐɯɹɐןoɯ No, the sandbox is okay though.

Hardly exponential.
 
It was getting there until you intervened.
It was decaying nicely, too.
 
sum_{n=1}^{k} n exhibits quadratic growth with respect to k.

What sort of creature has their mouth above their eyes?
 
What's with the quickdraw warning thingy?
 
11:37 PM
What do you mean?
 
@SuperJedi224 You mean this?
They don't want you spamming every second.
 
I mean this:
 
IT'S COMING
 
nah, just lol
sorry
 
I just noticed something interesting. Now that I have >1k rep, if I approve an edit it goes through immediately. Is that how it should work?
 
11:40 PM
Yeah.
 
I think so, but I don't have ≥1k rep so I don't know for sure.
@SuperJedi224 Where's that from?
 
@SuperJedi224 Where's that from?
 
ninjaed by me.
 
Drawception. That warning makes some sense occasionally, but it shows up far too often in my opinion.
And then there's the occasional bug where when you go to submit your drawing three copies of the confirm dialogue show up on top of eachother for some reason.
 
11:42 PM
Oh, okay. Hmm...
 
@JAtkin I can confirm.
 
@JAtkin Yes. On graduated sites, the threshold is 2k.
 
@El'endiaStarman So, shouldn't it be 2k here since we deserve to graduate? :P
 
lol @El'endiaStarman I am just wasting time on spacewar. :P
 
11:52 PM
Actually, I think that higher-than-normal privilege thresholds might be good for PPCG when we graduate. It's really easy to get rep here.
@RikerW It's so fun, isn't it? :D
 
@El'endiaStarman I know.
@El'endiaStarman Yes. I am working on a bot right now.
 
(in addition to screwing around.)
never mind, I can use the timeLeft var.
 
Is something wrong with this that caused its downvote?
 
No clue. I didn't downvote it.
I just gave it an upvote, mainly because it is freakily short. Cool language.
 
11:58 PM
But is there something inherently wrong with it that could cause its downvote?
Oh yeah thanks!
 
Not that I saw.
 
Hmm... It happened some time back with one of my other short answers.
