C# everyone, good night.

@Dennis FAP for life!

Is it possible to do a hidden reply?

Did that ping you, Dennis?

Can you use the message ID anywhere? :23602582

It appears not.

TheNumberOne

[:23602582]()

Doesn't work :(

Alex A.

I think your link construct is backwards.

Dennis

It didn't, but it should have.

Ping is broken for me lately.

Alex A.

@Dennis Ping

Dennis

That pinged.

Alex A.

Oh, okay

Dennis

21:38

I just created my first esolang. For the next Hello World competition, I'm covered. :P

Help, WarDoq!

Mauris

Hahaha. This is excellent.

Alex A.

@Dennis You implemented it in CJam?

It may be the first programming language implemented in a golfing language.

Mauris

You should've gone for "C: interpret the rest of the program as a CJam program."

Dennis

I was going to, but I wanted it to barely count as a programming language. :P

Alex A.

Mauris

21:46

Yeah, maybe it's more in-your-face like this!

You're such a cheater. ^^

Alex A.

@Mauris ?

Mauris

(See, in gs2 the program f prints all of FizzBuzz, because I, too, love messing with code golf contests.)

Alex A.

Was it Dennis' submission or something?

Mauris

Nah, I was jokingly calling out Dennis on cheating (re: his language) while mine does something equally silly.

Alex A.

Oh, gs2 is yours?

Mauris

21:51

Yeah.

Alex A.

Cool.

Q: Zig-zag strings

Zig-zag strings Given a string and a positive integer, output the string in a zig-zag wave pattern with a peak amplitude and character spacing equal to the integer. Input Input can be read from STDIN or taken as function arguments. Input is a string without newlines and a positive integer. Ou...

@Mauris Did you change your username? IIRC, it was different when you wrote this answer.

Mauris

It was "nooodl" once, yeah.

Dennis

Heck, if you had not changed it, I would have cracked your answer.

@AlexA. No. codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/interpreter

Alex A.

22:15

@PeterTaylor Oh, okay.

For the zig-zag challenge on main, I'd probably call it a duplicate of the challenge Martin mentioned was closely related. I don't think it really adds anything beyond that. Thoughts?

Optimizer

it takes away

Alex A.

I thought you went to bed. ;)

Isn't it like 4am there?

Optimizer

not yet

and stop spilling it out will ya?

Alex A.

Spilling what out?

Optimizer

22:30

my personal information :P

Alex A.

Oh sorry! I can't delete that anymore. :|

Is it just me, or is wchar_t in C++ just garbage?

Optimizer

Is it just me or are you actually writing code in C++?

Alex A.

I'm working on it :P

Beta Decay

22:55

sigh I'm tired of summer... I just want it to get cold and snowy now :/

Alex A.

Blasphemy.

Beta Decay

Not if you're a snowboarder ;)

Alex A.

I'm not, so I can claim it's blasphemy. :P

Beta Decay

I mean it's not blasphemous for me :P

Optimizer

what if its so cold that the snow freezes?

Alex A.

23:01

You'd have hypersnow.

Beta Decay

I still like ice :D

@AlexA. Seattle isn't as humid as it is here... I can't bear it much longer :P

Alex A.

Seattle was a tad humid last week. It's been pleasantly warm the past few days.

Beta Decay

Sounds nice :)

Alex A.

It is! Seattle has a reputation of being all rain all the time, but that's really not true. We have great summers. (And then it rains the rest of the time.)

@Dennis You know, before we brought in Foo I had a few other insta-print languages on my list

I only just found an interpreter for one of them

23:20

I just found this neat tool for collapsing stackexchange answers.

Martin Büttner

23:35

@Sp3000 now that you've cracked MarioLANG I could finally sandbox another challenge :D

Sp3000

What's that got to do with anything? :P

Martin Büttner

it would have (might have) given away the solution

Sp3000

... oh

Convert Brainfuck to MarioLANG code-golf code-generation MarioLANG is a two-dimensional programming language where the source code resembles a Super Mario Bros. level. Furthermore, its instruction set is very similar to Brainfuck's. This means that MarioLANG is essentially a 2-D Brainfuck where...

@Sp3000 Three incarnations of the same idea and each worked in another language... :(

Sp3000

I'm not sure why it works either - I kind of expected Tiny to need line numbers from the wiki

Reto Koradi

@Dennis I have problems understanding the definition of comments in your new programming language. If (space) starts a comment, and the next non-space character ends it, does this mean that comments can only be spaces? Because, as soon as you put anything else in a comment, it's by definition the end of the comment?

Dennis

Yes, but characters that do not correspond to commands are no-ops.

It's a joke, really.

@Sp3000 I'm guessing the dot aborts execution since it's a syntax error in that part of the program.
