Q: How does Zalgo text work?

MikeI've seen weirdly formatted text called Zalgo like below written on various forums. It's kind of annoying to look at, but it really bothers me because it undermines my notion of what a character is supposed to be. My understanding is that a character is supposed to move horizontally across a line...

 
1··1·1·1
1·1·@·@·1
11·@·@·@·1
1·1·@·@·1
1··1·1·1
 
@Qwerp-Derp yes
 
@TùxCräftîñg Really?
 
12:00 PM
@zyabin101 Yours ;)
 
Right!
 
you can simulate a basic computer to program a primality checker in
or directly mess up with logic gates
 
OK...
 
A (probably very hard) challenge: #7A3025
 
CMC: Build a primality checker in Minecraft.
 
12:01 PM
Where · is a zero, or @ is either. The trick, then, is recognizing specific lists of binary numbers
 
@seshoumara It's autogenerated by Gravatar, the service that SE uses
 
@Qwerp-Derp #commandblockmagic
 
Without command blocks.
 
Impossible to me.
 
12:03 PM
;_______________________;
 
@BetaDecay so that's why. I knew it had to be sth and not coincidence.
 
Okay, an easier one: #78A457
Okay, no one has their attention on me. Thought room confirmed.
 
Ummm
 
Another one: #A6974C
 
i will try to create a vim syntax file for logicode
 
12:06 PM
good luck
 
@TùxCräftîñg Yis thx

@zyabin101 Steven H.
 
@BetaDecay nope.

@Qwerp-Derp Nope.
 
12:09 PM
I thought it was BGR
 
@BetaDecay qwerp derp?
 
How could it be Geobits? Geobits is blue.
 
or is it converted to RGB now?
 
@DestructibleWatermelon Yes!
@Qwerp-Derp Yes.
 
Wait wot
I thought it was still BGR
Oh
 
12:09 PM
@zyabin101 Wow, that was mean :D
 
Cause BGR was blue, so I thought that was Geobits
 
What are those numbers? #78A457
 
#45636A

@ASCII-only Right!
 
Which one
ASCII-only: 1 point!
 
12:21 PM
ASCII-only!
Okay, new change: the price of a color rises with each incorrect answer.
 
But ASCII-only can just do the same thing again
Anyone can do the same thing, really
So does that count as one guess? Or multiple?
 
This applies in the next guess.
If on a color, one person guessed wrong, and another right, the another person earns 2 points.
#63614A
 
Nathan Merrill?
 
Right!
Qwerp-Derp earns one point.
#53719B
 
I did a syntax highlighter for brainfuck in kate if anyone interested?

@Fatalize There doesn't seem to be any other conversation going on, but if anyone has something else to talk about then I can move this game to its own room
 
@trichoplax I'll make one.
Game over.
 
We should probably move the game to its own room
Nooooo my 19 points
 
@zyabin101 Nice :)
 
Final scores, Destruc - 1, Qwerp - 19, ASCII - 1, Beta Decay, 2.
 
12:41 PM
@trichoplax i personally don't care but some people always complain about the transcript being full of noise
 
there aren't too many people using the chat rooms, so that's why everything is discussed here
 
ooo, just got an idea on an event, similarily scored like the thing we're been doing
 
@Qwerp-Derp
 
12:43 PM
Beautiful.
How long did it take?
@seshoumara Join the chat room!
 
a short code syntax is written and one must I don't know, guess the lang, or guess the error in it
 
@TùxCräftîñg Join the game!
 
@TùxCräftîñg You still need function/operator/parameter highlighting
 
See zyabin's post
 
12:45 PM
event repeated once a week or month. Is it good?
 
@ASCII-only ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@seshoumara Nope.
 
highlighting operators is a bad idea™ in vim
 
@TùxCräftîñg but it isn't that hard ;_;
 
it look ugly
 
12:46 PM
But we could occasionally do those if it's good?
 
@zyabin101 why not?

@betseg - I finally got around to doing your cube question. Very satisfying that I actually made it in fewer bytes than a numpy solution (which should say "with numpy" in the header really, since numpy is not part of the stdlib.
 
anyone know what highlighting files are used on this site when posting answers? I tested sed and dc and they are bad.
 
12:49 PM
since it's server-side (i think), no
 
@seshoumara Language is autodetected, if you want to specify, use <!-- lang:bash --> or something
 
:O
i have 2048 rep
4
 
I don't remember, ask someone who uses language comments
 
@ASCII-only I did, but the highlighting is completely wrong. Sed for example takes C++ comments.
sed's
 
@seshoumara Yeah, pretty sure shells aren't considered languages, and neither are gnutils
 
12:51 PM
@ASCII-only It There's no auto-detection on PPCG. Afaik, it can only be enabled for specific tags, which doesn't really help on PPCG.
 
@Dennis Oh TIL
 
Oh yay Dennis is on!
 
@seshoumara The syntax highlighting is simply bad, no way around it. For Python, it considers 1and a numeric literal...
 
@Fatalize That's how I try to judge it. If it's not causing complaints I'll let it continue
