i wrote a program today

i was intending to do it well

like good practices and everything

i think this is less readable than some golfed code i've done

project euler #54 spoilers: gist.github.com/anonymous/816fe812ff2720e671fb

(as much as you can spoil #54, i guess. there's really no trick to it. there's nothing to figure out. it's just "write a program that follows these rules")

Ahaha Project Euler, I should look at the code from when I started programming

@undergroundmonorail Oh god.

githubphagocyte

Would questions like that from project Euler make good golf questions here?

Sp3000

There'd be a copyright issue, I think

githubphagocyte

Might need a spEuler alert

@Sp3000 ah right, yes

Although I'm guessing "write a poker hand decider" isn't copyrightable

@undergroundmonorail I wonder if it's better to just assign each hand a two-tuple value, e.g. (1, 10) for a pair of 10s, (0, 13) for high card king, etc.

Then comparing

@githubphagocyte But it's been done

(also PE #54 is in the attributions)

githubphagocyte

@Sp3000 oh good :)

Now I feel like doing PE, it's been a while

1 hour later…
