@quartata any suggestions for resources for learning TI-ASM?

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Well it's a Z80 so just go find yourself a manual on that

I doubt there's very many other special things on top of that

like this?

yeppers

coolio, thanks!

I have expression compiling down, I just need to figure out what they compile to.

Pretty much all microprocessors will have manuals like that. Very handy

12:19 AM

will I be able to use TI-84's math functions?

or should I just shut up and read

I dunno.

ok

Usually when you want to call a C function from assembly you push the parameters on to the stack and jump to it, but I don't know how it works here.

You're probably a bit of a trailblazer :P Anyways, if you can figure out how the inline assembly works here that'll help

Usually they have things that let you get the value of a register after its executed or something

do I need any prior knowledge on assembly?

Depends on how good the manual is

12:21 AM

alright

It'll probably explain most of it

thanks a lot!

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ You able to/already released it yet?

@LegionMammal978 oh shoot brb releasing

what should it be called

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ What does it do, exactly?

12:29 AM

@LegionMammal978 it's a language geared towards drawing

on svg's

._.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head

Easel?

not a bad idea

^

Easel it is

erm

it's currently es6 only

12:35 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ GOOD ENOUGH JUST GIMME DA CODEZZZ

OKAI OKAI

uh

?

I just named a langauge eacal that's completely unrelated

easal
eacal

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ When I saw it I thought it was your SVG language at first

should I still go for it?

12:36 AM

because I misread eacal as easal

oh lol

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ea5al might work, but it just sounds/looks strange

hrm

how about "mount"?

How about "Unnameable"

but then it would be a contradiction :p

12:39 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ mount /dev/sda0 out.svg # should write to out.svg

@LegionMammal978 it's a web thing

not command line

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ ik

@LegionMammal978 i don't even want to scroll up to find context for that

Luis Mendo

@HelkaHomba Totally agree!

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ It up yet?

12:49 AM

@LegionMammal978 I haven't decided on a name yet

1:13 AM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ well if it's a web thing just use the established naming scheme: take a verb and add an "r" to the end

don't forget the .io

Q: Write a basic REPL (command interpreter)

i mean the domain's taken but it's just a 404 page lmao

Challenge Write a REPL (command interpreter). This is similar to a shell, and allows executing commands in scripting languages. REPL stands for Read-Eval-Print-Loop. Here is an example session in Ruby: > puts "Hello" Hello > 5.times { |i| puts i } 0 1 2 3 4 > You do NOT have to print a prom...

code-golf

@Dennis

In a language where block-scope variables need a modifier (like Perl's my), will something like this need to be supported:

Like what?

my $x = 3;<enter>
print $x

In other words can each expression have its own scope

Um. Do you have a Ruby interpreter?

1:50 AM

Yes, of course.

Try running the program loop{puts eval gets}

That's my reference implementation

That wouldn't support what I'm suggesting for instance

irb(main):001:0> loop{puts eval gets}
a = 3;
3
print a
NameError: undefined local variable or method `a' for main:Object
	from (irb):1:in `eval'
	from (irb):1:in `eval'
	from (irb):1:in `block in irb_binding'
	from (irb):1:in `loop'
	from (irb):1
	from /usr/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'

Since a exits scope

@Downgoat this is adorable

Dennis

@DmitryKudriavtsev I'd personally suggest posting your challenge in our sandbox first so that the community can help you iron out the details. While I'm fairly certain I can know what you have in mind for a Python 2 submission, I can only guess for Jelly or brainfuck.

@Dennis A brainfuck interpreter has been writtern in brainfuck... Just enclose it in a loop

1:54 AM

That'll leave things on the tape

I don't know, there's definitely a way. Brainfuck is turing complete

His point is that it's tough to make a spec that covers all of a language's quirks in this case

i hate captchas

i always fail them

and i'm not even a bot like Geobits

Dennis

@DmitryKudriavtsev Brainfuck doesn't work like Ruby in the sense that all commands modify the tape rather than accepting arguments and returning results. How would this be represented in a REPL?

I honestly don't know, scratch that idea. This challenge would be as infeasible in Brainfuck as in something like C++

Although I could probably write a basic C++ JIT compilation REPL thingy

@DmitryKudriavtsev sorry

but seriously, people need to check the actual name first. >_>

i mean it was even linked

aearnus.github.io/kona-dictionary hey i did a thing

i literally was the one who posted that in here earlier

@PhiNotPi >_> yes? :P

oh, nevermind

I feel like I saw somewhere on reddit or something.

shrugs (edit: yeah I think it was your link I actually clicked)

idk

@EᴀsᴛᴇʀʟʏIʀᴋ ikr

yes

Are there words that end in a non-y consonant with y as the last of multiple vowels?

like "hymn" but with a vowel before the y

2:25 AM

"Analyze" doesn't count since it ends with a vowel?

right

Oh wait, "analysis".

though close

@El'endiaStarman y is not the last vowel

Oh right. Hmm.

Lymphocyst?

er, ok

not a very common word :P

2:29 AM

Haha, no it's not.

I was assuming you were requiring that the vowels be in a row.

no

Since "ou" and "ai" and "ea" etc. are very common but less so with "ay" with the y being a vowel.

There's things like "Sally's" but that's borderline

Oh lookie what we have here... visca.com/regexdict

2:30 AM

"like "hymn" but with a vowel before the y" you were't really specific enough with that example

NinjaBearMonkey

Like antonym?

If I have a programming language that consists of strings of continuous ones and zeros, can I count each 1 and 0 as a bit (and so a group of 8 characters as a byte)?

@NinjaBearMonkey Yes!

NinjaBearMonkey

always encrypt martyr...

@DestructibleWatermelon Yes. Accordingly, a string of 11 bits would be 1.375 bytes.

2:32 AM

well done

NinjaBearMonkey

Using the pattern [aeiou].*y[^aeiouy]+$ on El'endia's link

@DestructibleWatermelon Idk, we might fuss at you. You could map ascii bytes to groups of 8 bits and have nearly the same language after a trivial translation

@HelkaHomba, I was thinking about an extension of stackylogic. Perhaps TC
