putStr"|\_/|\n|-.-|" I don't think I got how this works ;)

trichoplax

@ColdGolf I'm not sure about "interestingly" but yes it's true... :)

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@HelkaHomba silos.tryitonline.net/…

ColdGolf

@trichoplax I guess so.

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

top notch language ^

R. Kap

@Sp3000 Really? Do you think it would be better if, given a mathjax polynomial input, all you have to do is output the polynomial represented by the image?

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

12:01 AM

@R.Kap that's hard

@R.Kap does SILOS beat python?

quartata

@Doorknob I've almost gotten my first monster working (cave fisher)

Destructible Watermelon

fairly sure this is shortest there is print("|\_/|\n|-.-|")

R. Kap

 print'''|\_/|
         |-.-|'''

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

saving some bytes

silos.tryitonline.net/…

whoops

quartata

I've got a fairly large pool of monsters from the giant pile of DND books I have so I should be able to make some fairly interesting things

ThreeFx

12:02 AM

@DestructibleWatermelon Can't you omit the parenthesis?

Adnan

Pretty sure that print"|\_/|\n|-.-|" is shorter

Destructible Watermelon

python 3

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

silos.tryitonline.net/…

Destructible Watermelon

I use python 3

just cos

El'endia Starman

@R.Kap You mean like convert $x^2+x-1$ to x^2+x-1? Naw, that can't be it...

R. Kap

12:02 AM

@Adnan Yeah, it is.

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

I would give a troll answer in HTML or plaintext but nahhh

R. Kap

@El'endiaStarman No, I mean given an image input of a Mathjax polynomial.

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

Or php from what I understnad

ThreeFx

@El'endiaStarman I think he means as a png or so.

Helka Homba

@ColdGolf Alright. Take in a 2-char printable ASCII string and make those his eyes. e.g. @U

|\_/|
|@.U|

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

12:03 AM

ooh

@HelkaHomba can we assume only two chars of input?

El'endia Starman

@R.Kap Oh, I see now how it's not exactly the same as your original proposal.

Helka Homba

yes

Adnan

@quartata The isaac avatar is really impressive actually.

ColdGolf

@HelkaHomba Again VTC yet another compression challenge....

Bald Bantha

@HelkaHomba "|\\_/|\n|-.-|",

quartata

12:04 AM

@ColdGolf It's just a mini challenge, don't take so seriously

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@HelkaHomba can I take input as two cla?

trichoplax

@ColdGolf Weren't you defending challenges "just for fun" earlier...?

ThreeFx

(x:y:_)->putStr$"|_/|\n|"++x:'.':y:'|'

Adnan

R. Kap

@RohanJhunjhunwala Hard? Well, that did not keep someone from answering this challenge...

Helka Homba

12:05 AM

@RohanJhunjhunwala sure

quartata

@Adnan What

trichoplax

Wow that one's really recognisable

El'endia Starman

@Adnan Woah, looks like a fractal!

ThreeFx

@Adnan Trippy, but pretty recognizable

R. Kap

@El'endiaStarman So, what do you think?

Adnan

12:05 AM

It has dogs all over the place

And a car at the bottom

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@R.Kap that is because there is a floodfilll solution

DLosc

@Adnan I see moths.

quartata

@Doorknob Hey, do you think I should make cave fisher an s (centipede class), an a (ant/insect) or t (trapper)?

This is like the hardest part

trichoplax

@Adnan I shouldn't have zoomed in on that one. Especially not shortly before sleeping...

Destructible Watermelon

lambda x,y:"|\_/|\n|%s.%s|"%(x,y)

Sp3000

12:06 AM

@R.Kap Well basically the term cancelling shouldn't need to be wrapped in an image manipulation task. It's especially bad for dupes if there's so many separate parts

Adnan

@trichoplax Hahahaha

quartata

@isaacg Please make this your avatar

Adnan

This one is really fascinating

quartata

Well, no pressure but

It's pretty cool

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@HelkaHomba done! silos.tryitonline.net/…

El'endia Starman

12:07 AM

@Sp3000 I think he's basically suggesting DeTeXify.

isaacg

@Adnan Thanks!

R. Kap

@Sp3000 All right. I see your point. Then it's more of a image recognition task than anything.

Destructible Watermelon

the funny thing is the second challenge is shorter and easier in BF than the first

speaking of which, lemme do BF now

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@Sp3000 if you do decide to complete the chat mega challenge please post it on to the bf interpreter or compiler page repectively and ping me so I can give you an upvote

Martin Ender

@HelkaHomba Retina, 19: retina.tryitonline.net/…

R. Kap

12:09 AM

Wait, what's the chat mega challenge?

Sp3000

@RohanJhunjhunwala Timewise and language knowledge wise, I don't think I'll be able to sorry - I'd probably rather write a C interpreter for Stack Cats

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@Sp3000 its ok

Martin Ender

(also congrats on your 200 silver :))

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@R.Kap write a BF interpreter in SILOS

FEel free to ask me about it in the SILOS room

whoops

ThreeFx

200 silver, that's the dream

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

</self-promotion>

trichoplax

@Sp3000 Wow that's saying something...

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@Sp3000 is SILOS really that bad of a language?

Destructible Watermelon

changed my mind about doing bf

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@Sp3000 it doesn't seem that unreadable... But what features would you say would increase its power?

ColdGolf

@RohanJhunjhunwala You made SILOS?

Sp3000

12:12 AM

@RohanJhunjhunwala Not that, it's just that I don't know it and don't intend to figure it out any time soon (not because it's bad or anything)

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

Stack Cats operates on an infinite tape of stacks. The tape has a tape head which can be moved and points at the "current" stack. Commands tend to operate locally on or near the tape head. The stacks store arbitrary-precision (signed) integers and contain an implicit, infinite amount of zeros at the bottom. Initially, all stacks but the one where the tape head starts are empty (apart from those zeros).

bends my mind

@Sp3000 oh ok, No offense taken, If it was bad I would like to be told that it is, so I can work on making it better

ThreeFx

Stack Cats sounds like a Turing machine of Turing machines gone wrong lol

Martin Ender

@HelkaHomba 18: retina.tryitonline.net/… (surprisingly nontrivial golf)

DJMcMayhem

@HelkaHomba 12 bytes: v.tryitonline.net/#code=w6EuT1xfLxvDjnlzJHw&input=MDA

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@MartinEnder I love that solution It's beautiful

(Although unreadable :) )

Destructible Watermelon

12:14 AM

the only message in the silos room was removed...

ColdGolf

@DJMcMayhem Not the same ASCII art for the eyes.

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

@DestructibleWatermelon yeah idk why

@DestructibleWatermelon if it makes you feel any better it says "yay"

Sp3000

@trichoplax Actually I'm serious here - it'd be more useful to me :)

DJMcMayhem

@ColdGolf idk what you mean

trichoplax

@Sp3000 I meant more that it would be more challenging :)

ColdGolf

12:15 AM

@DJMcMayhem HelkaHomba Made a specific shape for the eyes I think, you used a different one.

DerpfacePython

Argh js-cookie is so confusing

Can anyone help me?

DJMcMayhem

@ColdGolf I had a different input. Other than that it's the same

Releasing Helium Nuclei

f(){printf("|\_/|\n|%c.%c|",getchar(),getchar());} (reversed order for gcc)

ColdGolf

@DJMcMayhem yeah, but he demanded the same input, no?

trichoplax

@DJMcMayhem I've tested it with different input and it works fine :)

Luis Mendo

12:17 AM

@RohanJhunjhunwala np

trichoplax

@ColdGolf Have you tested it with Helka's input?

R. Kap

@RohanJhunjhunwala A "flood fill solution"?...

DLosc

Ugh, 18 bytes and pretty uninspired for Pip: pip.tryitonline.net/…

trichoplax

@ColdGolf It does work. That is the point ;)

ThreeFx

@ColdGolf What was the point then? It works.

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

12:18 AM

@R.Kap each character has a different size ( I think,) So you can identify a character by floodfilling for its size, YOu dont have to roll your own OCR library

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ

> Expression error: Unrecognised word "sqrt".

DJMcMayhem

@ColdGolf Why would anyone demand the same input? In that case there's no point to having any input

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ

I officially give up.

Destructible Watermelon

@ColdGolf ... what are you even arguing right now

quartata

Huh, I wanted to make an engulf attack that was ranged but I don't think I can do that...

Conor O'Brien

12:18 AM

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ where?

ColdGolf

@DJMcMayhem You don't get jokes, do you? haha

trichoplax

:31937681 The challenge was to take two characters and make them the eyes. The code needs to work for any two ASCII characters, and in that case it automatically works for the particular example Helka gave

ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ

@ConorO'Brien explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1017:_Backward_in_Time

R. Kap

@RohanJhunjhunwala All right. I assumed that's what you meant, but still asked just to be safe.

ThreeFx

Well to be fair, no one got it.

Rohan Jhunjhunwala

12:19 AM

Should I feature request a way to ignore user X and all replies (as an addition to the current ignoring feature)
