The Nineteenth Byte

I got that far in Java, and then I wanted a "pause" and a "stop" button. I realized that detecting button presses in Java is either too hard for me or impossible, so I learned AutoIt

GamrCorps

lol

flawr

@Lembik hey lembik

Lembik

and anyone else interested in codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/69154/…

@flawr I just discovered that you can get infinity for my challenge :)

quartata

I remember almost maxing that out a long time ago (trillions of cookies, those prism things, raspberry milk)

GamrCorps

10:30 PM

its actuall fairly simple if you use multithreading because you can just stop and start the thread

flawr

@Lembik What?

quartata

Didn't get the grandma apocalypse thing though

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

wat

Lembik

@flawr is that "What?" as in what are you talking about?

or how do you do that?

or.. wow! :)

flawr

@Lembik I do not see how you can get "infinity"

Rainbolt

10:32 PM

@GamrCorps It wasn't making it stop or start that I couldn't solve. It was detecting button presses. I have no idea how to detect button presses in Java

Lembik

@flawr it's not at all obvious..it just turns out some mathematician had actually studied this problem

sadly I am not a mathematician so I can't really understand the original paper

any people who can read math here?

flawr

@Lembik So there is some kind of finding new matrices based on the smaller ones?

I can read some very few math.

GamrCorps

Use the AWT or swing button classes and just register a button action handler: docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/button.html

Lembik

@flawr it is theorem 9 of ac.els-cdn.com/S0024379513005533/… if you can read it

Rainbolt

@GamrCorps Ah, okay. Learning AutoIt was easier than learning how Java action handlers work. There's literally a function called _IsPressed

GamrCorps

10:35 PM

@Rainbolt lol, you have a point there

Rainbolt

And another one called "MouseClick"

Lembik

@flaw ah.. that is annoying

flawr

@Lembik Damn paywalls.

Oh I can get access!

44k cps

Lembik

how!

I am hoping you are a math major :)

because I can just about parse theorem 9, but I can't at all even find the proof!

let alone understand it :)

@flawr how did you access the paper?

flawr

@Lembik Via my university login.

Lembik

10:41 PM

ah I see

flawr

why would anyone call this property "negacyclic"

It is too late I think.

Lembik

@flawr I don't even understand what negacyclic means !

@flawr do you?

flawr

No, that is where I am stuck at right now=)

Lembik

well let me ask an even more trivial question

"For every prime power p" are these 2^c for all c and 3^c for all c?

etc

as in 2, 3,4,5 but not 6?

flawr

Exactly

Lembik

10:45 PM

I understand one thing! :)

@flawr Do you agree that the proof is in the older paper they talk about?

flawr

I stopped reading, sorry.

Too tired=)

boo :(

Perhaps tomorrow

ok :)

I still have some cookies to bake.

Lembik

10:48 PM

it seems the proof is supposed to be in cms.math.ca/openaccess/cjm/v23/cjm1971v23.0816-0832.pdf but I can't find it!

good luck!

we need more math people in the chat :)

← 1 message moved from VBA Rubberducking

Sorry about that. I meant to choose the Nth Monitor.

Doorknob

→ 1 message moved to The Nth Monitor

move-ception :P

ballesta25

No one wants that message, apparently.

EBrown

:( I liked that message. (It's way better in context, of course.)

Hosch250

@ballesta25 Yup. It was moved to the trash from the Nth.

Quill

10:54 PM

There was like 15 (removed) messages

of course I binned it

Hosch250

33, you mean?

I was moving an off-topic discussion from here, and Mat nuked it when I was almost done.

flawr

So what SE are you guys from?

EBrown

All of them.

Quill

ninja'd

Code Review ;)

Hosch250

Code Review.

EBrown

10:56 PM

More specifically: Code Review.

Hosch250

We got off topic in the Rubberduck room, and the mod nuked the messages while I moved them.

Then, I moved a last remaining one here by accident.

flawr

Well off-topic is an on-topic topic here too.

Hosch250

I wish I was limited to moving messages to rooms related to CR.

TanMath

what is going on?

why are CR people here?

Hosch250

I just explained.

ballesta25

10:58 PM

We're being invaded

(not really)

quartata

Was stalking Open Source's rooms when I found this:

in Chatbot Dev, Dec 29 '15 at 17:52, by Trevor Clarke

what does it mean that the ppcg is graduating

we're confusing people

TanMath

lol

Quill

@quartata the saddest meme of all

Rainbolt

@Geobits would be proud

4

TanMath

@Hosch250 you accidentally moved a message here?

Hosch250

10:59 PM

Yeah.

TanMath

82cps...

Hosch250

Then Doorknob re(-)moved it to the intended destination, and Quill moved it to the trash.

TanMath

I am a slow player..

Quill

you know what would be really good right now?

cat memes

Hosch250

No one wants it.

flawr

11:00 PM

@TanMath 133k cps

TanMath

cat memes!

@flawr how may cookies? 10 million?

Hosch250

OK, show's over, folks. Back to school.

TanMath

no!

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

lol hacked cookie clicker

I thought that it had some more security. I'm disappointed :/

flawr

I never hacked, I just played for the last two hours

Rainbolt

11:03 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You get a trophy for cheating, right?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Idk

But I'm cheating in a different, unconventional way

quartata

Hey, I didn't know about the Nth monitor.

Rainbolt

"Cheated cookies taste awful"

quartata

@Rainbolt That's only if you do it in a certain very lazy way

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

r=_=>document.getElementById("bigCookie").click();setInterval(r,10);

@Rainbolt Au contraire; I get mine with extra pixel bits.

Pixel bits

hahahahaha I'll go back to the corner of the room

Rainbolt

11:05 PM

duh dun tch

ballesta25

You do realize you can combine cats and cookie-clicker-like gameplay with Kittens Game?

flawr

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Game.ClickCookie()

o_____o

lel

RikerW

@Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ your unicorn interpreter is broken...

Geobits

@Rainbolt Very proud :D

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

11:16 PM

Oh, no they don't!

flawr

Comon, go find your image.

?

lol

Sorry about that

11:19 PM

How?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

> Game.cookies
< 6422.613333333333335

TanMath

they figured you were cheating?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@RikerW I did setInterval(r=>Game.cookies+=1000,10)

Yeah, too large of an increase in cookies :P

Or too high of an amount for what I have bought.

(i.e. nothing)

TanMath

what happened then?

flawr

I'm soon at my first time machine=)

RikerW

11:21 PM

Cooler icon...

TanMath

cool!

where is the javascript code and how can I use it on chrome?

In Game

:P

lol

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ look at my clicky goodness

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

11:22 PM

omg o-O

TanMath

I have one now...

acheivement - mouse wheel

RikerW

I literally have the clicker costing over 100 thousand...

TanMath

how many cps?

quartata

in The Nth Monitor, 1 min ago, by quartata

OK, so... I'm confused.... The messages started out in VBA Rubberducking, one of them got put in the Nineteenth Byte by Hosch, the rest got put in the Nth Monitor by Hosch, the one that ended up in the Nineteenth Byte got moved to the Nth Monitor by Doorknob, and then they all got moved to the trash by Quill... right?

RikerW

TanMath

11:24 PM

lol...

RikerW

Woah, golden cookie??

I clicked and it left...

TanMath

@RikerW what is your cps?

:(

Oh, cute

@RikerW where?

11:25 PM

BUT IT GAVE ME 4000000 cookies!!!!!!!

@flawr wtf? :P

TanMath

where is the golden cookie????

RikerW

flawr

@TanMath Appars randomly.

RikerW

@TanMath ^^

TanMath

11:25 PM

@RikerW bravo...

@flawr where but?

quartata

@TanMath Somewhere on the screen

flawr

All across the screen.

TanMath

anywhere?

RikerW

IDK.

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It happens when you increase Game.cookies directly without using the special helper function

flawr

11:27 PM

Hm, the next portal is cheaper than the next pointer.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata Oh, I see....

Idea!

Edit the helper function to increase the cookies :P

quartata

Or just use the helper function

TanMath

where is the javascript code?

RikerW

@flawr lol

quartata

Game.Earn(num);

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ

flawr

11:28 PM

100 pointers!

quartata

Also, just so you know....

Game.RuinTheFun();

try it

RikerW

TanMath

nobody giving me javascript code?

@RikerW seriously??

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@TanMath I did.

We have been.

TanMath

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ where?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

11:29 PM

It's all in the Game object.

Read the transcript

Game.Earn(num);

@flawr beat that.

@quartata XD

@RikerW CHEATER

I do not see the code still...

RikerW

11:31 PM

Yes.

@TanMath Game.earn(num) is the code....

TanMath

wait, what?

how do I use it?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Type it in the console.

TanMath

where is that in chrome?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

QUICK POLL: What should ή auto initialize to? (Value)

@TanMath Right click + Inspect element

quartata

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ newline

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

11:32 PM

That's S

TanMath

Uncaught TypeError: Game.earn is not a function

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Weird

RikerW

Game.Earn.

Cap e.

lol

TanMath

lol...

I figured it out...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@RikerW lel

TanMath

11:34 PM

it is Earn, not earn

RikerW

Yes, that is what I said the second time.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

1 min ago, by RikerW

Game.Earn.

ninja'd = me

TanMath

thanks guys!

cookie clicker = hacked!

Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ

@RikerW I broke it a long time ago but Unicorn was a one-time thing so I'm not going to bother to fix it

RikerW

Okay.

I am using it for a school project, basically transpiling the interpreter into a different JS-like language.

Maybe note that in the github?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

11:39 PM

@RikerW Tell me more about this project

And the fantastic school that offers such a project

RikerW

Dude, I am homeschooled.

:P

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@RikerW \o/ good for you! That's the best imo

RikerW

Are you homeschooled?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I wish.

TanMath

you guys still in school?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

11:42 PM

I learn a lot of what I know at home on the CPU tho

@TanMath Yeah. There are a lot of us iirc

Hosch250

@RikerW That's cool. I was too, but I'm in college now.

RikerW

NVM, I believe you.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Interesting correlation...

XD error on line 2000

Hosch250

I'm sure I'd no way be as prepared for college if I wasn't. I could study what I wanted as long as I met the quota for all my classes without needing to stay with my class.

What game are you guys hacking?

RikerW

Cookie Clicker.

BTW Nice dog @Hosch250.

Hosch250

11:43 PM

Thanks.

Doᴡɴɢᴏᴀᴛ

@RikerW Wasn't that hacked a long time ago?

TanMath

I was homeschooled...

15.197 million cps!
