:(
 
@Doorknob Actually, it might
 
He said "awesome games"
 
@PhiNotPi Exactly :P
 
@Doorknob lol
 
Looks like there aren't (you have to get a runner who wants to do it) but relevant:
 
2:02 AM
@Doorknob Finally, someone who plays Nethack and reads Asimov.
 
:P
 
Doorknob : Nethack :: You : (reply)

shrugs
 
2:03 AM
ew super mario maker
pass
 
rofl
 
tell me when trihex is on
 
SET trihex TO on
 
I do see Carl Senpai in the background
That's something I suppose
 
What is super mario maker?
Besides a game maker
With Mario.
 
2:04 AM
Basically that's it
 
okay
 
Fairly straightforward
 
you don't like it?
 
No I detest it
 
To me it sounds better than perl
 
2:05 AM
Hello?
 
Hello??
 
@RikerW It's a musical instrument and a torture device for friends
 
@RikerW Most things aren't
 
rofl
@Doorknob Better than perl? :P
 
It's basically just Lunar Magic except more accessible to idiots who don't know what level design is
As a result you end up with a lot of terrible terrible levels
 
2:06 AM
Pops on January 6, 2016
Stack Exchange Winter Bash 2015 wrap-up
 
@RikerW such difficult decision between options 1/2
 
lol
@Doorknob hint: pick 2
 
@doorknob you got 33 hats? wat
 
@BlockCoder1392 I probably could have gotten more (5 o'clock would have been really easy), but I stopped trying after the first week or so. :P
> Pick one
 
2:09 AM
Dang it.
 
So far the votes say you should learn perl
 
I think I will probably just play nethack instead though.
 
Get to it
now
 
I got so close to getting hatsman, i got 10 hats :(
 
@RikerW NAO?
 
2:09 AM
Fine, i might try it.
 
If only to prove that .
 
Camel Bible
go
 
lol
 
Seriously. That's what we call it.
 
2:10 AM
> Adopted as the undisputed Perl bible soon after the first edition appeared in 1991,
 
The Camel Book.
@RikerW I mean, Larry Wall did write it.
 
And he is?
 
He made Perl.
 
> Helloworld.HelloWorld(HelloWorld.class);
 
LMG, perl creator.

Q: Find the sequence

Chris LoonamThe purpose of this challenge is to find the general term of a given arithmetic or geometric sequence. Explanation The formula for an arithmetic sequence is as follows an = a1 + (n-1)d where a1 is the first term of the sequence, n is the index of the term, and d is the common difference betw...

 
Thank you @NewMainPosts.
 
@NewMainPosts Wat.
 
Hey, Minecraft is winning? :P
 
I wouldn't mind playing Minecraft now...

NVM, wrong computer. :(((
 
Why you do this
 
I voted MC
Once
 
Thank you.
 
@BlockCoder1392 Why?
 
2:13 AM
Cuz
 
I voted MC too though, because I saw it was winning. :P
 
it's worse than Nethack
as are all other games :P
 
Cuz = I don't actually know but I saw Minecraft so I had to click on it
 
@DOorkNoB Nethack<NetHack?
 
Yes.
 
2:14 AM
@BlockCoder1392 Pretty much.
Nethack is gud.
Although speedrunning it is not.... easy.
 
Gonna play nethack now, bai.
Will still check in here though.
 
Learn Perl first
It's easier

If you do play Nethack play on NAO
So we can watch you get rekt
 
2:15 AM

telnet nethack.alt.org
 
.-.
 
It's the NET part of nethack
 
@quartata ssh nethack@nethack.alt.org is like 10 times faster
 
I though @Doorknob was missspelling now.
 
2:15 AM
@Doorknob ssh is for scrubs
Back in my day we used telnet and we liked it
Plus he's on Windows he probably doesn't have ssh
 
How old are you? like range of length 5

40 secs ago, by RikerW

Q: Separate my integers

ZgarbIntroduction In the field of mathematics known as topology, there are things called separation axioms. Intuitively, you have a set X and a collection of subsets of X, which we can think of as properties. The system is well separated, if one can distinguish between all items of X based on their p...

 
too bad my internet decided to suck
 
@quartata damn they're blazing through these levels
they're so hard lol
@quartata also look on the left one, really famous hard level
 
@RikerW Yeah, I don't admit that ಠ_ಠ is my sock because then I would be lying.
 
2:42 AM
well then

@orlp banned from chat. so good
also lost it at the "rng manipulation jokes"
very original

Q: Can the king catch the pawn?

DoorknobGiven an input of four integers x1, y1, x2, and y2, output whether a white king in chess (with coordinates (x1, y1)) could catch a black pawn (with coordinates (x2, y2)) and capture it if the pawn is moving to promote to a queen as fast as possible. The coordinates of the board are as follows:...

 
uh oh pbreak
Why did that get starred?
 
The starwall has no context.
 
@Doorknob What would be the output for 1 1 1 2?
Oh wait nvm
 
2:48 AM
@Sp3000 er... true right?
Oh wait.
 
Yeah... I was trying to see if there's a case where the pawn promotes and the king can take the promoted pawn
 
Ah.
 
Someone downvoted my king/pawn challenge.
 
But I can't think of one
 
On the one hand, ugh random unexplained downvotes.
 
2:49 AM
@quartata 100 hours of stream time
 
On the other hand, YESSSS, finally an even rep count (ending with 0/5) again
 
Someone deleted stars D:
 
his viewers must be pleased :P
 
@orlp I heard that
 
@Doorknob \o/
 
2:50 AM
crazy stuff
 
@quartata easy
p-break? 5 min
 
@orlp not p-break the 100 hours of stream time one
forget the name
 
@quartata I know
but I'm talking about the race itself
 
It seems I missed a flag party. To whomever thinks it's fun to flag: Note that abuse of chat flags is cause for a lengthy suspension. Flags are for serious issues only.

53 mins ago, by Doorknob
I scrolled up approximately five pages, glanced at the transcript, and decided the flags were justified. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
2:52 AM
@AlexA. pin it
 
I am a bird and I can perch above your car.

I am a dragon and can obliterate said car :P
 
I am a doorknob and I can open doors

I am a human being and can think.
 
I like that my serious message got two stars, one was revoked, and then my poop joke got two stars.
 
2:53 AM
Chat on mobile really sucks.
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ you gonna post your atbash palindrome challenge?
 
Very off-topic: I have finally seen the light and switched to writing dates in yyyy-mm-dd format consistently
(and yes, I know, relevant xkcd)
 
I am orlp and this message will get starred.
 
No.
 
> To whomever things it's fun to flag
I had to read that several times.
 
2:56 AM
lol
 
@Doorknob I'm assuming yes but just to double check: does the pawn have to move every turn? (As in, we can't assume some black king which we move instead)
 
@mınxomaτ ooooooops fixed thx bb
 
@quartata holy chat is brutal
'give him a mushroom'
 
I am orlp and this message will get black holed.

@orlp I know

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

geokavelMatches-like Clock Puzzle code-golf Given a valid time on a 12-hour digital clock, output the digit that requires moving the fewest lines to make it so every visible digit on the clock becomes that digit. If more than one digit is the minimum, output them all. If it is impossible to make every ...

 
I'm almost not upset that I got banned for a copypasta. The urge to look at chat has gone significantly down
 
@Sp3000 It wouldn't even matter becuase "both players play optimally (the king will move as fast as possible to catch the pawn, and the pawn will move as fast as possible to promote)."
 
@Doorknob I do that everywhere except on checks
 
Thank you @NewSandboxedPosts.
 
@RikerW CABBAGE
 
2:57 AM
(If there were a black king, it could help the pawn promote, but since it's not on the board for all purposes it doesn't exist.)
 
@Doorknob I'm thinking 1 1 1 3
 
@Sp3000 1. Kb8 a7 2. Kxa7
That's a good test case, though
 
Hello @Shog9! Welcome to The Nineteenth Byte!
 
I might add it to the challenge when I have time
 
So a7 does have to happen then, I guess
 
2:58 AM
@AlexA. fwiw, 6 people flagged that shit
 
@Shog9 Hi.
 
@Sp3000 Yes, but the pawn gets captured no matter what
 
Can we be non-beta now?
2
 
Evening
 
@Shog9 Wow. I really missed a flag party.
 
2:58 AM
@Sp3000 This is falsy, right?
 
@quartata Right
 
@Shog9 damn
@Doorknob mkay
 
@AlexA. Me too. Maybe a quick glance wasn't enough...
 
Interesting challenge
 
I peeked at a few deleted messages and all I saw was Seadrus posting a bunch of disapproval faces.
 
2:59 AM
@AlexA. yeah. On the spectrum of chat-badness, there's rude, there's spam, and then there's frowning
 
@Doorknob That's why I was asking, because what would happen if the pawn could pass instead of a7?
