Honestly, I got interested in programming on a whim. It was something I thought about infrequently as a curiosity for a long time. One day, I was reading some design goals a team had put forward for a game I liked, and there was a sentence that said something along the lines of "... we agreed on these [things] before we wrote the first line of code..." and I kind of looked at it and wondered but what is a line of code? And then I googled it.
I'm interested in a supply of good problems. :D In the beginning, I was really interested in applying maths that I knew and making my computer do something. I started game programming 'cause it had both of those things and was a ton of fun.
I was just using a couple of circles for the top half and a couple quartic polynomials for the bottom half. Unfortunately, it just don't look like a heart.
i'm trying to compile my app with buildozer, which uses python-for-android. the problematic part is writing a recipe so that p4a will compile my cython code
Before my girlfriend bought her own car, we shared mine. Whenever she would need the car but I'd be out somewhere with it, she would ask if I had taken it. I would response simply with this:
@Geobits By the way, thanks for mentioning Fifteen Puzzle. I set it up fairly quickly, and on my first few prototype test runs, the programs can fairly consistently solve puzzles that have been shuffled with about 5 moves after ~12 generations, with 10,000 individuals. Runs that far in ~15 seconds. Then it kinda gets stuck :/
Scale up a Diamond Tiling
code-golfascii-art
Any regular hexagon can be tiled with diamonds, for instance like so:
______
/_/_/\_\
/_/\_\/\_\
/\_\/_/\/_/\
\/_/\_\/_/\/
\_\/_/\_\/
\_\_\/_/
We'll consider the above a tiling of size 1 (since the diamonds' sides are made of one / or \ e...
ASCII Art of the Day Series
My new found love for ASCII art has lead me to a lot of good (trivial and non-trivial) ideas for ASCII ART challenges. Here are the ideas :
1. Double Knot
2. Flow Snake

Starting to feel like I'm on an island. It pours down heavy rain exactly once a day for the last week for ten minutes. Then it stops and the sun comes out.
I came across this really nice snow-flake like ASCII fractal by Michael Naylor [citation needed but not found]. Just like a fractal, it grows exponentially in size with each order/iteration. Below are the details about the construction and a few examples for various orders:
Order 1 Flow Snake:

I'd rather hardcode an edit to your snippet that removed my name from the AAoD leaderboard on crossover entries. Then I'd be complete where I show up :P
