@ATaco it would if you did from string import*

ATaco

Import in lua isn't a keyword :\

The require function is just a function.

It still amazes me that Mathematica has a Builtin to detect goats.

Destructible Watermelon

12:41 AM

well, think about it

there is no downside to making some new builtin apart from the size of the interpreter

A mathematica builtin of something just means someone made a thing, probably someone on the mathematica team, and decided to put it in

the attitude to builtins in mathematica is just different to other languages

It's not goat-specific

Downgoat

@ATaco cheddar: n->String::(1|>n=>i->i%2!=0?i:n-i+2).fuse

Can't that be shortened to >0?

en would be meaningless sentence no

I was going to ask: "what commands should a bot be able to use to request info like "what is my health?", except that health can be calculated from every time a bot is hit"

I remembered probably the score

Conor O'Brien

@Downgoat I thought en meant "in" basically

so was afk

Destructible Watermelon

but then I realised that the score should probably be provided at the start of every turn

Hey, the RProgN solution for that was also 10 bytes.

Conor O'Brien

:o

ATaco

Although used an incredibly different method.

~(aA`_091{}:).

Conor O'Brien

it looks like a forkbomb lol

ATaco

1:57 AM

Nope, aA is both Lowercase and Uppercase Alphabet, `_ is a literal _, 091{}: is a for loop with no contents, so it just pushes all numbers 0 - 9 to the stack. Because it's wrapped in (), it's all a separate stack, which . concatenates.

Conor O'Brien

2:08 AM

so what does ~ do?

ATaco

Zero Space Segment.

Conor O'Brien

so you'd have to have spaces between each char otherwise?

DJMcMayhem

¬ ~Í× almost works

ATaco

"Treats the following word as if it were a bunch of space separated words, splitting on Characters (In most cases)"

Conor O'Brien

what does ? do in rprogn?

It's currently unassigned in stacked so I'm looking for ideas

ATaco

2:11 AM

It's kind of like an if

DJMcMayhem

You guys both beat V. 11 bytes, Try it online!

ATaco

boolean function [function], if true, run the first function, if false, run the second one.

Conor O'Brien

ahh cool

@DJMcMayhem >_> stacked is a non-esolang

hmm I'm going to try to outgolf you in V

DJMcMayhem

:D I'll help you

ATaco

Wait, the RProgN solution was 14 bytes.

Ahem

Conor O'Brien

2:14 AM

is it possible to do a regex replace in insert mode? Ó doesn't work

DJMcMayhem

Not in insert mode. You'll need to escape first

Conor O'Brien

how do I insert escape on TIO

DJMcMayhem

If you add the -v flag, you can use <esc>

Conor O'Brien

9 bytes: Try it online!

8 bytes actually remove last /

user165474

I'm assuming <esc> is one byte?

Conor O'Brien

2:17 AM

yea

the actual esc byte

DJMcMayhem

But that's in the wrong order

Destructible Watermelon

what is -v doing?

Conor O'Brien

I don't think order matters

DJMcMayhem

If not then I already beat you :P

@ConorO'Brien Great solution though! A couple tips, 1) ¬ works in normal mode 2) you can take out the second slash, and 3) × == \W

homework-question

user165474

2:21 AM

...

DJMcMayhem

@ConorO'Brien It's kinda in the docs. It's the ASCII value of W with the high-bit set. So you could write it in verbose mode as <M-W>. More info

Christopher Peart

Genius right?

Every question tagged with that is auto removed

user165474

Just to make people trying to get homework help to think they're just not getting answers?

Christopher Peart

Yep

DJMcMayhem

Technically, with the mnemonics and everything, your solution is i<M-,> ~<esc><M-S><M-W>/

user165474

2:22 AM

That actually doesn't seem like a downright horrible idea.

Christopher Peart

A bot would post random comments and the question would be hidden

Conor O'Brien

2:26 AM

@DJMcMayhem what does <M-'char'> mean?

Christopher Peart

I just re read it

It is a way of weeding out questions not trolling

They could be placed in a review que

DJMcMayhem

@ConorO'Brien Use 'char' but with the high-bit set. All of the mnemonics are based off of that (because it's super easy to type in vim, you just hold 'alt')

Conor O'Brien

so, the M represents holding alt?

DJMcMayhem

So, since the mnemonic for Ó is <M-S>, you can type it in vim with alt-S, or just use the mnemonic for it in verbose mode

Conor O'Brien

cool!

DJMcMayhem

2:28 AM

@ConorO'Brien Yeah, pretty much. In vim-speak it's 'meta' but effectively alt

Conor O'Brien

that would explain the M lol

DJMcMayhem

Verbose mode

Actually, one improvement I want to make to verbose mode is to print the compressed version out to STDERR. I think that would be very convenient

Conor O'Brien

maybe add a flag to signal transpiling to V?

Noone has answered the tetris with GoL, so I'm trying to make a question to make another game with GoL

and that game is: Cookie Clicker.

Mistah Figgins

Hmm... I would say no

Matthew Roh

Why not :\

Mistah Figgins

The reason they are having trouble is because of the immensity of coding anything

ATaco

5:38 AM

How do you take input in GoL..?

Mistah Figgins

The problem is not that it is tetris, so much as it is arbitrary code for a game

Matthew Roh

@ATaco Maybe, clicking on a cell could be input

Mistah Figgins

A single cell?

Matthew Roh

Yeah

(I think)

ATaco

How awefully godly.

You've created life, arranged it in such a way that it does exactly what you want, as long as you bring cells either into life our out of life.

Mistah Figgins

5:40 AM

The way Tetris is going to work is by the creation of metapixels to emulate wireworld, where they use specific gates etc to make a computer, essentially

ATaco

Death and Rebirth as an interface is kind of horrific.

Mistah Figgins

For reference, this is a metapixel. Note the size.

Maybe once tetris is finished, it will be viable, but for now, It's just another thing on the GOL To Do list

ATaco

Note the Generations, Jesus Christ.

From ON to OFF in as little as 35,328 generations!

Mistah Figgins

And that is just one cell in the wireworld emulation

Matthew Roh

Can we do the clock with something like the gospers glider gun (in GoL)

Mistah Figgins

5:45 AM

We need the metapixel because it lets us define arbitrary rules in a simulation. If we wanted, we could emulate GOL itself

ATaco

Also, it's just Wire World, so you can do anything that can be done in Wire World.

@Zgarb How do I make a factorial function in lambda calculus?

My guess would be:

3. Combine them
4. Profit!

But I don't know how to do any of those steps in lambda calculus.

Qwerp-Derp

7:44 AM

@DLosc That's exactly my problem :(

DLosc

So maybe start with an addition function (since, from what I remember about LC, you have to use some funky combinations of functions just to represent natural numbers).

Then repeated addition can be used for multiplication.

Qwerp-Derp

@MatthewRoh @feersum There isn't really any bit-shifting involved--bits aren't even connected as numbers/bitstrings, they move independently. It's sort of like a cross between ><> and Bitwise Cyclic Tag.

so, self-editing?

If there is a bit and it moves, I call it a bit shift.
