@ATaco whoa now. let's not be hostile
 
@Poke Isn't it?
 
everyone knows in their hearts that java is the best language there is
 
@Dehodson Proper PowerShell would be to use Test-NetConnection

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

ngmHoley polynomio A polynomio is a plane polygon consisting of equally-sized squares connected at edges. A polynomino might have a hole if it contains a region completely surrounded by squares. For example, there are 37 nonominoes with holes as pictured here: (Really there are 37 equivalence c...

 
@mbomb007 Heh, you can paint the console :-) New golfing possibilities.
 
I haven't found a list of what's allowed, but some things like width, height, and background-image don't work.
 
9:39 PM
@mbomb007 :| Downgoat discovered it before (and a lot of sites use it to create fancy text to attract devs)
@mbomb007 isn't it just font things that are allowed
@mbomb007 there are also basic printf directives too, apparently
> Only functions when developer tools are opened. Otherwise, the 'console' object is undefined.
@mbomb007 So background-image actually does work on Chrome (see whitelist)
which means you can display an arbitrary image
 
Wonder if any websites only have meaningful content in the console. Like a console game.
 
9:55 PM
@Adám wow, nice
> Remember: View source is cheating.
 
@ASCII-only viewing source
 
yeah, I know
Wait.
You can actually manipulate an image using canvas then do canvas.ToDataURI() or w/e and set that as image background in console
 
@ASCII-only But you can't animate in-place, afaict.
 
@Adám well, you can just keep console.loging to emulate an animation :P
 
@ASCII-only Hm...
 
10:01 PM
it wouldn't be anywhere near as fast though since the browser would have to keep converting to/from data URIs

Q: Rolling Quine Dice

JMigstCreate a program that outputs itself. However, if the source code is repeated n times (by concatenating a copy of the source code to the end n times), then there should be 1/n probability outputting the original source code, a 1/n probability of outputting the source code repeated twice, a 1/n ...

 
@Adám Hmm. console.clear would probably make it perform better
 
10:22 PM
scale = 0.25; i = setInterval(function () { console.log('%c+', `color: transparent; font-size: 1px; padding: ${~~(canvas.height * scale / 2)}px ${~~(canvas.width * scale / 2)}px; line-height: ${canvas.height * scale}; background-size: ${~~(canvas.height * scale)}px ${~~(canvas.width * scale)}px; background-image: url(${canvas.toDataURL()})`); }, 100)
turns out console.clear doesn't work that well :/
(this would be a lot smoother if the canvas was to the console immediately after it's drawn)
 
@ASCII-only ?
 
@Adám random animation that the animation code would work on
 
@ASCII-only I don't understand how to use it. I just have a big black area with a few labelled input fields.
 
@Adám browser console >_>
 
@ASCII-only Do I have to type anything to start the animation? My console is empty.
 
10:32 PM
@Adám yeah. the message immediately above the link
I'm going to try adding an option to draw to canvas
 
@ASCII-only Now I get [nnn] debugger eval code:3:45 where nnn counts up.
 
hmm. weird
@Adám hmm. this should without any console input needed?
 
@ASCII-only Nothing in Chrome or FFQ.
 
@Adám should work now?
 
@ASCII-only Log is flooded with:
+               script.js:170:5
 
10:43 PM
on Chrome as well?
 
@ASCII-only No, Chrome animates a beautiful pattern!
 
:P
I'm assuming FF just doesn't allow background-image then
 
@ASCII-only … and is hammering the CPU.
 
@Adám change ms per frame to like 1000 then
 
@ASCII-only Nah, the heat is nice on my fingertips.
 
10:57 PM
@Adám :D
 
11:42 PM
I just overhauled my sandboxed koth, and was hoping I could get y'all to take a look at it.

Hat Wizardking-of-the-hill The following is an idea I hope to eventually make into a full king of the hill. I've never written or participated in a king of the hill so help would be appreciated. Here is how this is going to work. You are going to be able to write the brain behind a bot. Your bot will ...

 
Hat Wizard is WW, right?
 
yes
 
Is there a way to see past usernames?
