@quartata also, fun idea: pink and lime are now team colored paints, so you are now a breast cancer awareness scout on red and a medi[redacted] on blue
The Third Flak
code-golf brain-flak
This challenge was posted as part of the April 2018 LotM challenge
Brain-Flak is a turing-tarpit language which has gained quite a lot of fame here on PPCG. The memory of the language is composed by two stacks, but a "hidden" third stack was discovered by ...
@ASCII-only If the language is not TC, it's the language's fault. If it is but have some I/O limitation (e.g. Brain-Flak where only number I/O is allowed), you can make another language variant that allows more flexible I/O (similar to the -a and -A flag in Brain-Flak (right?))
Languages no one uses that I've personally asked dennis to add: Python (Jython), Python (Stackless), Alice ML, Assembly (JWasm), BitBitJump, Boo, Ceylon, .NET Assembly [CIL], Curry, Emacs Lisp, Emotinomicon, MUMPS, OSH, Phoenix, Prolog (Ciao), Felix, SNOBOL, yash, UBasic, Maxima, Mathics, and probably a few others.
There's also a couple I've requested that people do actually use, like Kotlin
Some languages are impossible to pull directly (Reflections, Reng <-- made by ConorO'Brien, used in the polyglot challenge), although there exists way to make it work server-side (node js + jsdom is a way I know)
I don't know if I should count Gaot++. I requested that first, and did so at least 5 times, but ultimately Dennis added it after someone else requested it.
Let's start by defining a reflection of a character in a string:
Given a string with distinct lowercase alphabetical letters with no spaces such
as abcdefg, define a reflection of a letter in the string c as
moving it (without changing the order of any other letter) to a new
place in th...
@Riker tio highlight.js is currently broken because it relies on an asset stored on a-ta.co, which is currently down because I can’t afford to pay the web host at the moment
Browse or get link to information about any APL concept. Supported concepts are:
∘ Symbols for primitive functions and operators
∘ Control structures and syntactic symbols
∘ System functions, operators, variables, and constants
∘ System and user commands
∘ GUI objects, properties, methods, and events
∘ Error messages
Unrecognised concepts will be searched for as free text in the help system.
@EsolangingFruit doesn't really use any language features. plus it's not the easiest of all the languages to write an interpreter for, and it would take a while to write.
also: where did everyone working on Cauliflower go
Or you can go through CJam's builtin list and see if anything either (1) should be a builtin in Cauliflower or (2) couldn't be simply implemented in Cauliflower in its current state
I also don't see any bloated SNUSP implementations on TIO. I'm kind of tempted to make an optimizing compiler (since there's no self-modification, you can directly turn the program into a control-flow graph) that supports the toroidal extension as well as adjustments to cell size.
Checkers Checker
code-golf
The goal of this challenge is to determine if a move is a legal (English) checkers move.
This challenge will use an 8x8 board. A moved piece should be treated as a man (not a king) that can only move diagonally forward. The board will have 0 or more black pieces, an...
@EsolangingFruit the hexagony code is all on the first line so it doesn't matter how large the hexagon is. It's the Cubix that changes size occasionally, but even that is fine most of the time.
@ASCII-only There's often stuff on tabs that I want to keep alive but will die if I bookmark it (such as TIO). Also, when I bookmark something it gets promptly erased from my memory, never to be seen there again
because I never go back through my bookmarks
for the same reason I don't go back through my tabs
@EsolangingFruit not really a browser, but close enough. assume it's really basic so no scrolling and flexbox and crap like that, all it needs to do is calculate positions/sizes correctly on different screen sizes
@ASCII-only I think this is something that varies between Firefox and Chrome. Chrome makes tabs tiny when you have a lot open, Firefox introduces horizontal scrolling
Sandbox notes
Is the polyglot tag appropriate? It requires some similar strategies,
Double Language Supersets

For the purposes of this challenge:
A language is a mapping from programs (strings of bytes) to outputs (streams of bytes). ...
@FrownyFrog I guess we could, but -∘1 is not exactly verbose, and certainly much clearer. Also, there are other dyadic-only functions which could be filled with more useful functions, like = and ≠ for nub(sieve), and ⊤/⊥ for to/from binary — especially when we get Under (dual). However, user commands (like those I discussed) are easily changed, while primitives are forever, so we need to be really careful to make the right decisions…
@ASCII-only "hard" by what standard? Using both halves?
Because that's like saying running is hard because nobody can do a 3-minute mile.
Fueue is confusing because in order to perform loops you have to get the queue set up in such a way that (1) your data is where you want it and (2) the program has the right instructions to set itself up the same way again.
@user202729 I wonder that because I wonder whether the creation of such polyglots is easy (i.e. automatable) enough that it could be considered a portability solution
