@JonathanAllan Nice! ” is just ⁶. × doing string multiplication is a bug, so it's better to use ⁶ẋ, which has the same effect. Also, if you rewrite ż@ as ⁸ż, you can use Y instead of j⁷.
The Hanoi KoTH
The KoTH is like this:
Two stacks of height-4 towers are on either side of a total of 6 pegs, and are coloured red and blue.
(Like this: [["R4", "R3", "R2", "R1"], [], [], [], [], ["B4", "B3", "B2", "B1"]] - each array is a peg.)
The objective is to move your entire tower to th...
@DerpfacePython An alternative input method would just be to specify starting and destination pegs, since that unambiguously defines a move (if one exists)
Ok, Thanks, I only ask because I am going to add a macro system for it. It will be just an iliterate version of C's #define. I also aim to add some limited support for strings and escape characters.
hey i was wondering if anyone can give me some feedback here on this sandbox post. Sorry if it seems like self promotion, but I am soon to put this onto the main sight.

<self promotion> https://github.com/rjhunjhunwala/S.I.L.O.S </selfpromotion> @HWalters essentially I plan to just allow aliasing of keywords through the define statements. That way a programmer can alias print and alias lbl and func to be reasonably more readable
define String Replacement String2 Replacement code goes here more codez
and then I just run through the code before execution and perform the replacement
Glancing, it looks like you have implicit arguments... per line function, arg arg, like a shell... yeah, I can see function-like macros not fitting in well with that
@HWalters yeah thats the plan, my language already has somewhat of a (shady) stack using GOSUB style of BASIC so yeah essentially the Bash styled aliasing to allow programmers to tweak the keywords for greater readability

Slimes are cube shaped enemies in Minecraft that break into multiple smaller versions of themselves when killed. For the purposes of this challenge we'll depict them as an 8×8 pixel image with 3 colors:
← True 8×8 version.
The precise RGB colors are:
0, 0, 0 for the eyes and mouth
110, 170...
Huh, does Python not have something where I can insert an item into a list but if the list index is out of bounds it fills the list with Nones appropriately?
I get the random attempts for common PHP/SQL/whatever vulnerabilities, but SSH won't even tell you if the server accepts passwords. Mine doesn't.
Reminds me of the crappy host I had before. I use a VPS as personal mail server, and somebody tried to get into one of the email accounts by brute force. The host took the VPS offline (without notifying me) because I had "too many SMTP connection and they do not tolerate spam".
@RohanJhunjhunwala The computers that launch these attacks are usually infected by some worm, and it's rather useless to try to keep track of them. Anyway, the worst damage they'll be able to do on my server is polluting my logs with authorization attempts.
@Dennis oh wow. It is a sad testament to the human condition that we create this awesome way to distribute information, and large quantities of traffic across it is malicious nonsense.
@RohanJhunjhunwala Large is an understatement. The amount of email spam has decreased lately (no doubt due to better prevention by email providers), but it was estimated that 9 out of 10 emails were spam a few years ago.
So it turns out (see comments) that actually there are only 39 names, not 40. Here they are in order:
and they are of course all

Same as the old one, since having a fancy server while I'm doing nothing more than building it would be a waste of money. Once I'm done, it will get upgraded though.
Thankfully, the VPS' by my provider are easily scalable.
Find the Watermark
At the moment, I don't have time to outline this properly. The idea is simple: Find the watermark in an image. The implementation, however, is obviously not simple. Since watermarks can have a variety of characteristics, I'd like to admit a variety of answer styles and make it...
whispering and SHOUTING

Typing in all caps on the internet is often called "shouting". For the sake of this challenge, I'll call typing in all-lowercase "whispering".

Another CMC: Print this exact string in fewer bytes than the string itself "Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before."
