Arrays are in scg now! :D :D :D :D :D :D
:D
 
@TanMath \: in Vitsy.
@El'endiaStarman Which I fixed recently. ;) That'll work perfectly.
 
Gosh, you guys really know how to advertise your languages!
> In Seriously please
 
[whistles nonchalantly]
I don't know...seriously.

ಠ_ಠ
(From an SO question.)
 
Seriously?! How many down votes? Lemme down vote it too
Where is the link?!
 
9:05 PM
So I came up with this sequence which I thought might be fun for a challenge... so I went ahead and plotted it... my first thought was "meh":
 
I found the lnik
 
but then I plotted it up to 1k instead:
 
0
Q: Why do if statements and recursive act this way?

user5618827I'm having an issue here, I'm learning python because I've always wanted to exploit and with minimal research it was easy to conclude that Python is the easiest to interpret and use. import sys def run_program(): print("[*] Palidrome Checker") word = raw_input("Enter your word:...

 
9:05 PM
 
Woah....
 
@MartinBüttner what's the sequence?
 
@MartinBüttner Whoa, that's really cool :O
 
Downvote!
 
So... Calvin's Hobbies style mini challenge: who can figure out what the sequence is :)
 
9:06 PM
@ThomasKwa ninja'd
 
Looks like a recursive one.
 
I name the sequence "The Lazy Person Sequence"
 
@El'endiaStarman nope
 
Oh! Oh! I know what sequence it is! :D
 
13 mins ago, by TanMath
Print the nth palindromic number with only squares in them. Now only if there is an OEIS page for this
 
9:07 PM
oh :P
 
my new challenge idea
 
do eet!
 
since we are talking about sequences
 
I know what sequence it is!
It's the Lazy Person Sequence!
i win now
 
Problem is, I don't even know the first 10 of them
 
9:08 PM
lol
solve the problem yourself
 
@anOKsquirrel Standard loophole: sequence name defined after the challenge was posted.
 
How should I proceed to write a program to find them?
 
@MartinBüttner whaaat
@TanMath you should recurse through numbers and test
 
So would this work?:
1. find all the squares
2. pair them all up
 
@MartinBüttner Looks like digit manipulation to me. Maybe something like "in the decimal representation of n-1, perform the permutation (0 2 3 1) on every digit following a 1".
 
9:11 PM
3. concatenate them
4. Sort them
 
sure
 
you know what....here is a much easier challenge:
Determine if a number is a palindromic square number
 
hmm
shouldn't be hard at all!
 
This Would be much easier!
Then I will post a bunch of test cases. Like 10401 (my username number) would return True and 14941 also would return True while 123 returns False
 
I thought of an interesting challenge.
 
9:13 PM
How is that for a challenge all?!
 
palidrome part is 121s_W%= in CJam
wait, you mean square digits?
 
@quartata What is your opinion? ;)
 
@TanMath So... palindromic non-trivial concatenations of single digit squares?
 
@anOKsquirrel the digits need to be square

@TanMath You don't control the room topic ;)
 
@Mego you came out of hibernation!
 
@Mego I didn't know he was talking about a challenge :/
What's the challenge?
 
9:15 PM
> write now
 
no you ruined my carrot
 
@Mego ;) typically means "I'm joking"
 
Hard to tell with TanMath.
 
I use it all the time seriously. ;)
 
hi
 
9:16 PM
@TanMath you've automatically ceded the floor due to your grammatical error
 
this is intense

yep
 
@CSᵠ It isn't normally like this. I'm not sure why but the past few days this room has been a little toxic
 
@El'endiaStarman ;) meant I am joking only

@CSᵠ Welcome to this wonderful hell.
 
this is more active than the activest in so
thank you
 
@Mego btw, is there a short and simple way to duplicate a stack n times? In seriously?
 
lang?
 
9:17 PM
@CSᵠ you are in for a treat!
 
@CSᵠ Seriously. Seriously.
 
@ThomasKwa I'm thinking something like this: gist.github.com/molarmanful/2a69721a17a274b3e2cc
 
@El'endiaStarman Can confirm, is actually a language
 
ha
 
@CSᵠ you want a tour?

in CJam, it would be ]3*~
 
not right now
 
@CSᵠ The Nineteenth Byte is easily the strangest room on SE.
 
again?!
 
@ןnɟuɐɯɹɐןoɯ a byte counter is not a converter
 
We're like the 4chan of SE.

Vitsy is seriously seriously better than Seriously in some serious things.

@TanMath C6 (╞): pop a: make a total copies of each element on stack (3 [a,b,c] -> [a,a,a,b,b,b,c,c,c])
 
if you want two-byte characters, you'll need to define their code points too.
 
@quartata We're not that bad!
....well, of SE...yeah...
 
soundfs interesting
 
9:19 PM
it is
 
@CSᵠ Have you joined our community, PPCG?
 
@Mego ok... I was looking for duplicate, should have searched copy!
 
@quartata answered some stuff..
 
@CSᵠ If you answer in this language for CG, you will be the most popular human in the land.
 
@VoteToClose wtf, why?
lol
 
9:20 PM
Because ridiculous languages are smiled upon?

My most popular answers are in Minecraft.
 
I think this post sums us all up:

Q: The Many Memes of PPCG

@VoteToClose that's the one
 
Ok, I will post it on sandbox soon

@Mego is there still no better way to do for loop?

Or a repeat command?

Now, thoughts on this?
9 mins ago, by quartata
Make a file that when interpreted as ASCII-encoded outputs Hello, World in some language but when interpreted as Morse-encoded outputs Hello, World in some other language
 
@ThomasKwa Just wondering, am I allowed to use multiple charsets at once? (Might sound stupid...) I have 256 chars, each representing a number. I'd like those to be one byte each.
 
@quartata too hard. Not much support maybe
Usually simple challenges do well
 
@ןnɟuɐɯɹɐןoɯ No.
 
@TanMath I guess what I have is unclear.
 
9:25 PM
@VoteToClose Just what I thought.
 
I mean when you turn it from binary to letters using Morse Code as the character encoding
The interpreter for your language doesn't have to understand Morse Code obviously

yey
 
@ThomasKwa What range?
 
@quartata Interesting idea, but how do you distinguish Morse letters?
 
9:27 PM
@El'endiaStarman ?
 
...---
 
@quartata Can Morse code do non-alphanumeric characters?
 
nope
 
Anonymous
Tied for the lead :D
 
@Zgarb Oh, that's a good point :P
 
9:27 PM
actually yea, but only a couple
 
I'm working on a new answer for this
 
Lemme see.
 
@quartata I take it you're intending to read the bit stream as Morse code. In that case, how do you separate "letters"?
 
@Zgarb It is digit manipulation, but your example is way off.

I outgolfed Dennis! \o/

@Zgarb It can actually do quite a couple it seems. It cannot do curly braces however
 
@quartata Bummer.
 
Can anybody help me outgolf Dennis?!
 
Mine would still win because it was submitted earlier
 
@El'endiaStarman I guess letters should be separated by some kind of special char, like a space.
 
Going now, bye all ->

I'll put those in right now. Any thoughts on that?
 
@VoteToClose I added a square function >:D
 
(~-.-)~
I have 3/4 of ASCII to go and I beat Pyth pretty often.
All I need now is base conversion (next implementation planned), prompts (already done), shell access (already done), file read/write (already done)... ;)
 
@VoteToClose Shell access?
You better tell @Dennis that. TryItOnline doesn't have any sandboxing.
 
Yeah - that's not going in the Safe jar. ;P
Dennis uses the safe jar. I leave out file I/O and other system manipulation stuff.
 
9:37 PM
Ah, good.
 
So I decided to make some even bigger plots for that sequence...
it's messed up
N = 3000:
(that asymmetry is actually there)
N = 30000:
 
Rotor's never getting an online interpreter since you can input Groovy code to it via STDIN and it'll execute it
 
When are you going to tell us what the sequence is?

I must know! D:
 
9:39 PM
@MartinBüttner The suspense is killing us. Please.

@quartata Yeah I should probably disable the raw Python code execution for the online interpreter for Seriously
 
Yay, I'm now winning xnor's bounty question
 
I actually can't code that out.
It evaluates input using Eval.xy( which is what makes it so cool.
I've added more examples to this:

@Mego so your online IDE is totally messed up!
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Just list off the 256 characters you're defining to be on it.
@ChrisJester-Young The first message ever :O
 
@StackExchange No, this is.
 
@quartata This is... what exactly?

Q: Create a language and implement it in itself... and golf it!

James LuCreate a programming language that fits these guidlines, and implement the language in the language (like PyPy).

@quartata Okay.
 
@NewMainPosts Oh boy.
 
So... self - implementation?
 
@VoteToClose Yes.
Sounds like a job for Rotor.
Matter of a fact.
It's a 0 byte job.
;)
 
Easy. In Vitsy, it's:
00k

;u filename
 
9:56 PM
Don't mind the boiler plate: new Block("your code").parse();
Just give that as input and you're all set.
 
New Main Posts's logo looks weird...
 
Or Is{}+~
 
Self code evaluation is not an implementation :/
 
@Sp3000 Awh come on here
It's a very demanding challenge.
 
@NewMainPosts This should be closed as way too broad
 
9:57 PM
@AlexA. nuke it pls
 
Our lord and savior @Doorknob beat me to it.
 
ALL HAIL
 
@Sp3000 I'm not evaluating - I'm legitimately executing code by loading it as a class.
 
(@VoteToClose I commented on your "output the ppcg logo!" andwer)

9:59 PM
*answer
 
@VoteToClose Actually you are self evaluating really
 
@Doorknob No one said that
 
ok
 
beet me 2 it
 
Closed!
