A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Interpret a Maximal Number of Brainf**k Variants code-challenge interpreter brainfuck A while ago in chat, I had an idea: It was prompty shot down as impossible. Because of that, I'm making it a challenge! Valid Languages The only valid brainfuck variants you can use are the languages appe...

i think that idea's been thrown around before

@totallyhuman I threw it around it chat yesterday, do you mean besides that?

@StepHen I have something alot like that

Yeah that would almost definitely be closed as a dupe of this

Q: Trivial Brainf**k Substitution Interpreter

Brainf**k is the most famous esoteric programming language and is the inspiration for hundreds of other esoteric languages. In fact, there are quite a few languages that are so heavily based off of Brainf**k that the only difference is the characters used. Your challenge is to interpret one of th...

code-golf interpreter brainfuck substitution

@MDXF no it wouldn't, this is one interpreter has to naturally figure out which variant of BF it is

Oh, really?? (non-sarcastic)

Whoa

5:04 PM

oh

hrmm

But, you don't have to account for noops

that's gonna be tough

That's the point :P

is it gonna be a test battery?

Is it gonna be code-golf or code-challenge?

(hint, code-challenge)

5:05 PM

both those questions are answered in the sandbox I posted :P

@totallyhuman it's going to be, you pick langs from esolangs.org

and then you have to give the spec's output for any valid code in any valid bf derivative you pick

I guess I better add something about program input too

@MDXF why is that unanswered

wut

it's not that hard

It was closed for a bit when it first was posted

hmm

It was closed for under an hour

I think

Actually no it was like six hours

Anyone have suggestions for a new office chair

5:08 PM

@totallyhuman then answer it :P

yeah i'm actually thinking

i'm trying to read through the whole thing to make sure that i'm not missing anything

@Poke The employee you have replaced. :-p

perfect

i might just golf up a transpiler

Yay

@wizzwizz4 ;) In this case I'm wondering for my computer at home

my current one broke

5:10 PM

Well here's a challenge based on the nun cartwheel thingy

user image

rip chair 2k17

Wow nice setup

I made a recliner

:]

:P

5:11 PM

@MDXF I soo want to make an esolang called wump

@Poke 10/10 wire management :P

def f(b,r,a,i,n,f,u,c,k): haha perfect

Though I reccomend the one office chair they always have in costco

nine arguments go perfectly

@totallyhuman arbitrary substitution for BF?

5:12 PM

@Downgoat :D some day i'll make it better. The cables in my computer are actually organized and stuff

Okay so for this sandboxed challenge that I want to post, should I allow the bonuses or not?

What's my name? code-golf internet Given a PPCG User ID, output that user's current username. Examples Input -> Output 65535 -> MD XF 2 -> Geoff Dalgas 12012 -> Dennis foo -> -3 -> Rules Input/output can be taken via any allowed means. The output must be the full username with p...

@HyperNeutrino yeah

@HyperNeutrino See the challenge I sent here

so b is gonna be the code and rainfuck is gonna be the commands

oh ok

@MDXF You're 61563 not 65535

and no, take off the bonuses

5:14 PM

@HyperNeutrino I honestly have no idea how I got that number

@MDXF 2 ** 16 - 1?

Totally. Because I do math when trying to remember my PPCG userID.

@MDXF make -1 for community mandatory and leave the rest w/e

For 1 bonus point off output HyperNeutrino for 42649 ;)

^^

somebody make rainfuck: a brainfuck variant where the code looks like ASCII art of rain

5:15 PM

@totallyhuman you go

ಠ_ಠ o_O

@totallyhuman I think they have that and it's called "unreadable"

:P

because it only uses quotes

'""'"'"''"'"'"'''"''

>.<

@totallyhuman start with the starry interpreter

What is it with me saying interpeter instead of interpreter

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

String cartwheels code-golf Someone said this but I can't remember where or when: The word "nun" is just the letter n doing a cartwheel Your challenge is to take a string and determine if it is the first letter doing a cartwheel. Rules A string is a letter doing a cartwheel if: The fir...

@StepHen is your name pet- wait nvm i'm an idiot

@totallyhuman Raincloud

lol

Ok, I removed the bonuses

Wait what it was closed the day of the challenge posting? lol

5:18 PM

So does anyone have feedback on this besides "it's impossible"?

Also I'm pretty sure the SE API won't work with the community user so I didn't include it

> The tape can have a maximum length of 30000.

@MDXF oh really? might wanna test it

@totallyhuman oh I forgot to address that, thanks

@MDXF what does that mean?

@StepHen you're welcome XD

must have 30000 or must not have above 30000?

It means I doubt -1 is a valid userID for anywhere except <site>.stackexchange.com/users/-1 @totallyhuman

5:20 PM

wut no that's not what i'm asking about

@MDXF stackoverflow.com/users/-1/community

i'm talking about the brainfuck thingy

@MDXF Community is -1 everywhere on SE

Oh you were referring to the BF thing, I thought you were talking about the SE API thingy

I'd normally wait a bit for posting because it's only been in the sandbox for 19 hours, but it's hard to get 5 upvotes even after a long time. I do suspect that this is a dupe though.

5:21 PM

@HyperNeutrino What of?

A challenge

-_-

Huh. I thought it was a dupe. I can't find a dupe though.

Same, I just looked through every stack-exchange-api challenge

@MDXF well? :P

5:24 PM

By the way my rep is 4242 right now, so if 42 is the meaning of everything, what's 4242?

101 * the meaning of life

oh, and are there any other sliding-puzzles that I didn't tag?

\o/ After weeks of hunting, and only finding products that were out of stock or marked up 100-200$, I finally found a good deal on a GTX 1070!

So excited

ooo nice

Also the name-change is for testing MD XF's challenge because dashes might break some answers (idk)

I'll change it back soon :P

@HyperNeutrino What name change?

5:29 PM

Cached as HyperNeutrino but my name is now Hyper-Neutrino

Oh ok

@HyperNeutrino how would Ceres do on this type of thing? Since it's not infix.

@StepHen D2**1+

I think

@MDXF you adding a test case for -1?

Anonymous

5:32 PM

@MDXF Why not just wait for the bot?

@StepHen no, Your program does not have to work for the Community user.

@HyperNeutrino cool, we're about the same (barring the stupid $0 for 0 indexing)

@Mego What bot?

@MDXF NMP

@StepHen oo

5:33 PM

@StepHen N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone?

@MDXF New Main Posts

Ohh

@HyperNeutrino FGITW, wow

lol

Whoa you're almost at 10k wow

I remember when I was like 500 rep away from you lol

lol

5:34 PM

It's ok you can catch up to me, I'm pretty slow

You approached my rep from segfaults and then my rep just kept going exponentially xD

Yeah lol

@HyperNeutrino Why do you need re? 0.o'

Wait no, 'cause after I stopped getting rep from segfaults I kept going up at the same rep curve

@StepHen lol

5:35 PM

But I quit for a month or so

@StepHen You were ninja'd by Mego

@HyperNeutrino not by much

@MDXF yeah mostly that's why my rep and your rep have a much larger gap now :P

@StepHen yeah in fact I'm not even sure who won :P

Yep :P

Well a lot of my rep is from challenges, so I feel fine about it

@MDXF this bot

Yes yes I know

Does anyone here know how ŒG in Jelly works

I have 5959 :)

how do you people have nice rep numbers ;_;

I have 9437 like wtf

5:46 PM

I am close to 6k :)

@HyperNeutrino oh the humanity

lol

And you are close to 10k

@Mr.Xcoder just curious, why do you think my challenge is a dupe?

It's quite a bit easier

@MDXF I personally think it is a dupe.

5:47 PM

Yes I'm asking for your reasoning

Also, anyone know how to do this? I'm trying to find a solution to my challenge

@MDXF I think one can make a trivial modification by removing the last seen date-part of the code, and removing the boilerplate message.

Final Feedback?

Proper army (Canadian Air Cadet) squadron formation code-golf ascii-art (Note: I'm not in the army so feel free to correct me if my formation is wrong, but I will not be changing the question. I will change any terminology mistakes though, because I'm trying to avoid air-cadet-specific wording c...

@MDXF Would you accept a vim answer?

@HyperNeutrino Can you add  to your answer? (plain black isn't cute)

sure

5:51 PM

Thanks

@DJMcMayhem Maybe? I mean, can you do vim commands via command line, such as vim -c?

@MDXF you can use sed

@MDXF Yes, you can

@Cowsquack how so?

@DJMcMayhem Ok, if you included that in the answer I'd accept it

Does the file only contain one line?

5:52 PM

No, three unfortunately, but the text is always on the second

specify that in the ~~challenge~~ question

@MDXF I just retracted my vote to close.

@Mr.Xcoder Thanks, how come?

Don't bother to understand my reasoning again

BTW how's the new job?

Less time-demanding than I expected

Which is why I'm here :P

Simply Beautiful Art

5:55 PM

lol

@MDXF You might want to say that URL shorteners are disallowed.

@Mr.Xcoder standard loophole. but still good idea to put it in

Also I really hope these cyclic imports don't blow up the world

@Mr.Xcoder Done

@HyperNeutrino Don't know why I was temped to use one, I'm dumb :{

xD

5:57 PM

@HyperNeutrino Still working on Jelly?

?

(to answer the challenge)?

@HyperNeutrino You were asking about ŒG..

:| ok apparently node.js's API docuemntation just died

hey mdxf do we have to account for no ops

I mean, you cannot just do .text in Jelly, right?!

5:59 PM

i have a working one right now

except for no ops

@Downgoat *documentation

Oh right. Um, no, I'm not working on it anymore
