@Dennis Could you pull Actually pretty please?

Alex A.

Do you actually want him to?

I seriously do

DJ McMayhem

Seriously?

Alex A.

Seriously v4 should be called 4REAL

Dennis

@Mego Done. <insert pun here>

In other news, I have spent the last hour and a half trying to understand MATL, and I'm no better off than when I started.

=(

hello

Hai!

@user777 Bonjour.

hi all

has anyone done a "pawns only chess" challenge?

Q: Scale up an image!

Your task is to write a program/function to scale up an image (list of strings) by a factor of n. Specs You will receive two inputs: an image, and a positive integer. The image will only contain ASCII printable characters (U+0020-U+007F). Scoring This is code-golf. Shortest solution in byte...

@Mego Are there any major differences between Seriously and Actually yet?

Kenny Lau

Seriously, there ain't actually any difference

phase

push n to reg0 I don't remember registers being in Seriously. >.>

I am guessing not :)

would anyone be interested in such a challenge?

Kenny Lau

6:36 AM

@Lembik Yes.

user81655

@Lembik There's this, but whether it's a duplicate depends on what the goal of your challenge will be.

Lembik

@user81655 thanks

I meant an actual chess engine but the start position has only 8 pawns on each side and nothing else

Oh huh, I didn't even bother looking for dupes before I started my answer :P

user81655

@Lembik Sounds interesting. Is the challenge to make an AI? If so would it be scored by king of the hill?

zyabin101

@Mego While you're at it trying to get the most of your code covered, I can suggest Coveralls.

They check only relevant lines. :P And they work with your CI.

Also:

> self.assert_serious()

You Seriously call your serious test method assert_serious()? lol

Lembik

@user81655 yes exactly

Is it generally accepted to edit a question to suggest an improvement to the question? I.e. the edit slightly changes the nature of the question but has "better rules".

user207712

@Cyoce Not really. But you can propose an edit (I think)

Cyoce

@Solver This was someone else's proposed edit and I was unsure as to whether that was ok.

user207712

@Solver If it's not your question, don't edit.

user207712

@zyabin101 Can you teach me seriously?

zyabin101

@Solver Yup. Just write something in a file and run Seriously on it. :P

@Cyoce If it clarifies the challenge, it's probably a good edit. If it adds or removes restrictions, it's probably not.

user207712

Okay, i'll try :P

zyabin101

The official online interpreter for this is seriously.tryitonline.net.

user207712

@Cyoce what mego said.

user207712

@zyabin101 I know.

Cyoce

@Solver protip: you can golf that down to ^

seriously.tryitonline.net/…

@Solver If you want to learn Seriously, you might try contacting the language's creator, as the docs are woefully incomplete right now.

user207712

True. Who made the language? I am good at writing docs.

Anonymous

Hi.

zyabin101

@Solver It's @Mego. ~_~

@Mego how's Coveralls? Or you didn't try?

Cyoce

@Solver can you write docs for a language of mine?

user207712

8:24 AM

Yes, I can.

user207712

(DOC REQUEST OVERLOAD)

Cyoce

@Solver (YOU SHOULD HAVE RUN A STRESS TEST BEFORE OFFERING DOC REQUESTS TO THE PUBLIC)

user207712

@Cyoce No, I'm actually fine. I've done all my homework.

user207712

So, Mego, teach me Seriously

Cyoce

Pretzel is getting weird. It's looking like the shortest hello, world program will be something like ”7’0, ’1!

Except they probably won't be 0 and 1

@Solver Actually (aka Seriously v2) is the better language to start with, because it's much more powerful. They both are stack-based languages, which means that all data is stored on a stack, and the various one-byte commands modify the stack. See commands.txt for a full listing.

Cyoce

@Mego is seriously v3 gonna be named "rly" ?

Anonymous

@Cyoce The names list I'm probably going to use is Seriously, Actually, Really, Definitely, Surely, Finally

Cyoce

@Mego so I was right (excluding that mine was an abbreviation)

Anonymous

@Dennis Pull Actually again pretty please?

user207712

8:45 AM

@Mego ah okay

Cyoce

@Cyoce edit: that's not it. It would be a compressed version of that (the algorithm isn't implemented yet so I can't generate it)

user207712

@Mego so your own encoding? some of the symbols do not have functions??

Anonymous

@Solver It's code page 437 for the encoding. Some of the symbols don't have commands yet, yes. It's still a work in progress.

Anonymous

I have a list of commands to implement that I've been working through.

user207712

Okay. @Mego I think I can get some docs written in mini-markdown, and you can then upload them somewhere.

zyabin101

8:55 AM

@Mego Then v6 = Obviously, which is allocated by another cool esolang.

user207712

@Mego Impressively?

Anonymous

@Solver That would be fantastic. Take a look at the docs branch; Sherlock9 has been working on some there. Just submit a pull request to that branch with what you write up.
