Without the bonuses, it's just a plain, boring "get an input and output the thing from the list that matches", which has been done to death.

Hyperbolic function

In mathematics, hyperbolic functions are analogs of the ordinary trigonometric, or circular functions. The basic hyperbolic functions are the hyperbolic sine "sinh" (/ˈsɪntʃ/ or /ˈʃaɪn/), and the hyperbolic cosine "cosh" (/ˈkɒʃ/), from which are derived the hyperbolic tangent "tanh" (/ˈtæntʃ/ or /ˈθæn/), hyperbolic cosecant "csch" or "cosech" (/ˈkoʊʃɛk/ or /ˈkoʊsɛtʃ/), hyperbolic secant "sech" (/ˈʃɛk/ or /ˈsɛtʃ/), and hyperbolic cotangent "coth" (/ˈkoʊθ/ or /ˈkɒθ/), corresponding to the derived trigonometric functions. The inverse hyperbolic functions are the area hyperbolic sine "arsinh" (also...

the main idea is that you can store data at any (x, y) point

@Sp3000: I actually used Minkolang's wrap-around for something non-trivial!

and if 0 <= x and 0 <= y it's printed to the console in the right spot

@undergroundmonorail so it just prints stuff?

it also does other stuff

it can take input and you can move around on the 2d plane

Here it is: design a program that prints squares with squares. Meaning, print out number that when squared, are comprised of squares themselves. Examples of such numbers include 7 (49 has 2 and 3 squared) 13 (169 has 4 and 3 squared) and 20 (400 has 2 and 0 squared). Print at least 20 of such numbers without having it "memorized" in the program.

my code golf idea....

El'endia Starman

@Sp3000 Yeah...I'm not sure whether that's because I didn't notice I could do that (which is probably the case) or I just haven't attempted many challenges where that would be useful.

Geobits

169 also has 1 squared, yes? or does the 16 "use up" the 1 digit?

SuperJedi224

@Geobits Neither 6 nor 69 is a square

undergroundmonorail

16 is
