4:00 PM
So if I have AAAAAA where A is hexagons I own and it turns into AAABAA does that split into two?
Also, I think this is a typo:
> Houses turn into a pine/pine (if on the beach) tree
> pine/pine
 
i hate rock traps
 
@NathanMerrill Also unless I'm missing something I don't see the map dimensions anywhere
 
 A A
A B A
 A A
like that?
 
I was thinking more like this:
 
A is still a contiguous territory
B is no longer a territory

@quartata based on the number of players. I haven't actually done the map generation yet, but the actual shape of the map is going to be randomized (Perlin noise)
 
@TùxCräftîñg T
 
@NathanMerrill All right
 
4:09 PM
@quartata No territory death occurs. A splits into two territories
 
All right, that's what I thought.
Oh, didn't see this
> If a territory splits, then the larger of the two gets all of the reserve.
woops
 
>_<
my dog attacked a watchman
halp
my dog is in a bear trap
and i cant untrap
 
4:25 PM
 
@flawr I wonder how that happened. :P
 
@zyabin101 + others finished my post! It took me a bit to ensure I got all corner cases correct. — Nathan Merrill 45 mins ago
Very, very great news!
 
@flawr a world record that will never be beaten
 
-1, he took input as the expected output. That's gotta be a standard loophole.
 
@flawr Thanks TNoodle. :P
 
4:29 PM
@NathanMerrill The rule that each tile has a 1/5 chance of spawning a tree doesn't seem right. It doesn't happen like that in either Slay or Antiyoy.
 
@El'endiaStarman TELEKINESIS!
 
Woo, second gold badge
 
\o/
Saying of voting, I'm rooting towards .
 
halp i wrote realy shitty code and i cant fix it now
 
4:31 PM
@El'endiaStarman at the start of the game
 
Ohh, I see.
 
@betseg define "shitty"
only 16 days to go to have fanatic \o/
 
@TùxCräftîñg everything starts from index 1 instead of 0
 
@TùxCräftîñg CR and SO wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole.
 
4:32 PM
fair enough
 
ideone.com is down. What have I done?! isup.me/ideone.com
 
Sorry, I tried to get the prime factors of infinity in Python, and the site apparently didn't like that.
 
@El'endiaStarman You mean an 11-foot pole?
:D
 
I was playing Project Zomboid and I thought it was a good idea to craft a molotov cocktail. Boy was I wrong! I had BURNING zombies coming after me and they JUST WOULDN'T DIE. Even though I used the cocktail in quite open ground, away from the buildings, the zombies started walking in all directions burning down the entire town. Never again! — AmazingDreams yesterday
 
@TimmyD Hmm, weird. I did that within the execution time limit.
 
4:36 PM
Oooh, @NathanMerrill, in the PC version of Slay, all trees at the start are pines, regardless of whether they're on the beach or not.
 
oh, really?
interesting
palm trees are a rather big annoyance in Antiyoy
 
ideone is back up.
 
because they definitely grow faster
 
@NathanMerrill Same in Slay. But they don't generate at the start.
 
there've been many times when I've wanted to connect territories early game, but didn't because it would cause 2 or 3 palms to grow
 
4:39 PM
Huh, that's weird. In Slay, they grow regardless of territorial boundaries.
 
oh they do
but I only have 1 warrior
 
Is anyone here into high quality firewood?
 
I either can move him on the tree, or I can use him to connect territories
 
Oh, I see.
 
anyways, it seems like palm trees wouldn't really happen early game in Slay
 
because people dying isn't that common early game
and taking out houses takes a while too
 
There may be a caveat in that the only map I can play on the PC demo generates the exact same way every time, so it's probably not random.
 
well, are there pine trees at the border?
 
On the beach? Yes. Most of the trees are on the beach, in fact.
 
4:43 PM
yeah, that's definitely different then
yeah, beach
I've actually started leaving trees recently as well
Like, if I have a house on the beach, and a palm tree next to it
then, I'll let that palm tree grow into neighboring enemy lands so they have to keep a warrior there :)
 
@TùxCräftîñg the https version of that site doesn't work
at least, on chrome
 
@TùxCräftîñg see nuthin
 
@MartinEnder well, that's kind of two tricks in one
 
even on ff
it's because it refuse to load a script on a http page from a https page
 
4:46 PM
if you look at the older submissions, you see +[<+]
that should be easier to follow
 
How do I make UnNetHack leave bones?
 
i don't know what's in the stack to the left of p, i just have gone by experimentation
@MartinEnder 12 bytes seems very short, not sure if i'm up for that level of agony yet :)
 
Finally left some bones using a testing player in UnNetHack.
 
playing on NAO
 
So, I have UnNetHack bones, that, however are strangely named.
bonM0.4.0
 
4:59 PM
Whats the best way of disposing of a deformed li-on battery?
 
Anyone knows UnNetHack here: How do I handle such bones and transfer them to my local Windows XP machine?
 
@zyabin101 I'm pretty sure you can't
 
@muddyfish microwave, for sure
 
@NathanMerrill serious answer?
 
5:01 PM
ring of adornment in the first room
 
@muddyfish well, it depends on what you mean by "best". I define "best" as "gives the best show"
 
@NathanMerrill so it won't kill me?
 
@muddyfish Rephrasing: How do I rename these bones to standard format for UnNetHack?
 
@NathanMerrill: Just played a full 17-turn game and I left a pine alone from the start. It never grew.
In the same game, I confirmed that any hexes adjacent to at least two pines grows a pine.
 
o_o
i am overly lucky in this game
 
5:09 PM
@flawr yes
 
ring of adornment at the first level and potion of item revealing at the second
 
oil + wood = very high quality fire wood
@TimmyD \o/ congrats!
 
Trying to deliberately leave bones.
Try n, natural male gnomish Healer died on DL3, but did not leave any bones. :/
 
healer is hard o_o
 
It's not, I'm just trying to deliberately leave bones to find out their standard filename format.

Ikr.
 
the third time someone link to the NH room
 
But I was enlightened by the standard filename format for NetHack bones, now trying to test a way to find the standard filename format for UnNetHack bones.
 
5:16 PM

@NathanMerrill: Palm trees only grow along the beach.
 
5:21 PM
Try M, Valkyrie died without leaving bones. Better luck next time.
I'll kill anyone who directs me to the NH room.
 
6th time
 
zaps wand of striking at feersum
 
Conversations about Nethack don't really bother me. But a conversation requires at least two people.
 
As a room owner, I'm going to say: please keep further monologues about Nethack in the Nethack room, and preferably conversations too.

I will start moving messages there if I have to.
 
5:32 PM
So basically, never talk about the greatest game ever.
So basically, never talk.
 
That's far from what I said.
Feel free to talk about it, but not so much here in TNB.
 
@El'endiaStarman I enjoy talking about nethack, and totally approve of the petition to move NH comments there. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Also, come on guys, two hours and only one answer?

Q: 4-way intersection generator

DJMcMayhemHere is an ASCII-art of a 4-way intersection: | | | | | | | | | | | | | -----+-----+----- | | - - -| |- - - | | -----+-----+----- | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Note how the horizontal roa...

</shameless plug>
 
@DJMcMayhem you think this ok? meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/10009/56721 i don't know why but i don't think it's good enough
 
First, never talking is the normalized rule of never talking about NetHack.
 
-.-
 
5:38 PM
Second, NetHack is almost every, if not fully every topic here.
Third, I disapprove of the petition to move NH comments in the NH room.
 
@betseg that looks pretty interesting. It prolly won't get a ton of answers because it looks hard, but I'd +1 it. Maybe provide a little more details about how which directions apply to which faces?
 
@zyabin101 I don't understand your second point
 
Forth, I seem to have strayed here.
Fifth, man I'm baked.
 
Sixth, I'm not sure how to play NetHack
 
@Betseg I can solve a cube, so I could probably figure it out from the examples, but it should be written for someone who knows nothing about rubiks. Maybe add some details about the starting faces too
 
5:40 PM
Seventh, I don't even know what NetHack is
 
@BetaDecay you kill monsters, retrieve a amulet and give it to your god
simple as abcd[citation-needed]
 
@DJMcMayhem i did a program that does it, but it has 250 lines (didn't count bytes yet)
 
@TùxCräftîñg No, I mean, I don't know how to use it. I downloaded it for my phone but there were no instructions
 
I should make a room where I can talk as much as I want, because just using the chat Sandbox isn't enough.
My next goal: Earn 1000 rep on +PPCG, make my own thought +SEchat room afterward. @OverTheHorizon
 
5:43 PM
@DJMcMayhem ill do it about an hour later. Noted. Will probably ask on main tomorrow
Halp my English borked how to say "a Rubik's cube that never rotated a face" or something like this
 
Lastly, I finally transferred my seeded UNH bones to my local install, so you may stop worrying about me continuing talking about NetHack.
 
Speaking of rubiks... Are you a cubist?
 
@DJMcMayhem Not much.
 
i never tried to solve a rubiks cube
 
Featured poll: Pancakes or waffles?
 
5:49 PM
@El'endiaStarman I'm pretty sure both of your pine/palm findings are in my spec
"Palm trees grow onto all unoccupied adjacent beach tiles"
 
I solved once with instructions that I found on the internet, about 10 times by destructing and rebuilding
 
"Any unoccupied tile that is adjacent to two pine trees grows another pine"
 
@NathanMerrill I knew that one was in there, but I saw the palm specification later.
 
@zyabin101 B O T H
 
also, my code for growing pine trees is so complicated
 
5:52 PM
@zyabin101 Featured poll: Pancakes or waffles?
 
mostly because I do it from the perspective of a single pine tree
aka, I iterate over the pine trees. I don't iterate over the open spots
 
I'm now officially lurking in this room, so you shouldn't expect much messages from me.
I'm readying myself for 1000 rep.
 
I think this question will make me reach 1k
 
Now idk which question should I answer with my g.py, considering it painfully lost 1 challenge.
 
@betseg untouched face?
unrotated face?
 
6:03 PM
I wrote a solved cube
 
That works
 
@zyabin101 Does not use any built-in libraries that can calculate the factorial (this includes any form of eval)
so your answer is invalid
 
whoops X_X
 
does my lock screen look cool
 
it's cool
package name?
 
6:13 PM
@TùxCräftîñg i3lock-fancy
 
@betseg Yeah!
 
kthx
@betseg dont exists in apt ;_;
 
@TùxCräftîñg does exist in AUR
Arch Linux masterrace
 
ಠ_ಠ
halp how to change the lock screen in ubuntu
 
@TùxCräftîñg can I split my factorial into a multiplication string, then eval that?
 
6:19 PM
idk

@zyabin101 ş? š? :/
 
Not easy to type.
On my machine with both the English and Russian KB layouts, I can't type these.

@Fatalize Haha I don't know how but I managed to do that accidentally
 
6:59 PM
My repos only get forked on accident ;_;
 
@TùxCräftîñg Yes, generate consonant clusters/rootwords in my conlang project >:D
 
np
i was speaking about the esowiki page
 
Should get the Peter Piper one out first Need some support first.
 
@MitchSchwartz see, the weird thing is that it seems that the tape is left of the program, and <+ actually affects the variable that is used as the depth counter for loops (which would explain why that does something to the unmatched bracket).
 
7:02 PM
@El'endiaStarman I was reading the changelog of Slay...and it says that you can attack houses on the first turn
...is that really a thing?
 
Hmm, another challenge idea: decode NetHack bones filenames.

Surreal numbers are a number system that maps ordered sets of numbers to sets of vectors in complex space off of their relation to the Julia set. Each surreal number is defined by: 1) the seed of the Julia set from which data will be drawn, which itself is a complex number, 2) the escape value for that set, 3) the number of iterations before which the escape value is reached (by which possible starting values for the complex vector are obtained), 4) the number of iterations before... (cont)
… which the escape value for the end of the vectors is reached, and 5) the length of the requested vector. All vectors of the requested length with beginnings and endings in their respective sets of valid points will be returned, and it is highly difficult (although possible) to coalesce into only one vector. Operations such as addition and multiplication are vectorized across the Cartesian product of their arguments.
@TùxCräftîñg surreal enough?
 
I'll take that as a yes
 
7:14 PM
i am creating a stack-based language compiling to redcode
 
@NathanMerrill ....I'll try that in a bit.
 
I figured you might know
I don't think I'll add it either way
 
I never tried attacking houses on the first turn.
 
its pretty powerful if you can
it gives way too much power to the first player IMO
they could nearly take out an entire nation if they wanted to

Woo! Beat my record of 17 days! New record is 16 days. :P (First map, against Very Stupid computers.)
 
What game?
 
@flawr Slay
 
@NathanMerrill: I can't attack houses on the first turn.
 
-1 not enough shooting
 
7:28 PM
good
 
-1 too much strategy
 
@flawr you can download a graphics pack: windowsgames.co.uk/slayThemes.html Feel free to make it a shooter
 
@NathanMerrill The others that came with the demo (Garden, Penguins, Mafia, Kids) look really weird. :P
 
Oh snap. I just realized I designed this all wrong
I made it so that Territories have an owner, not hexagons
but if there's a hexagon that's not in a territory, it still has an owner

Mini-challenge: Figure out what font that ^ is since I've forgotten. (It might be an Andy but all of those have different a's or else are italic)
 
3 (rational)
3.1 (rational)
3.14 (rational)
3.141 (rational)
3.1415 (rational)
3.14159 (rational)
...
Therefore, pi is rational. QED
 
@TimmyD so by induction the limit must be rational, right?
ninja'd
 
@TimmyD Only pi approximations are rational.
 
Lies.
 
Any and all pi approx. must be rational.
 
7:48 PM
@HelkaHomba Note that I think I increased the line thickness which is why the jaggy edges are there. Originally it would be smoother.
 
Via this comment ... and I agree, that's one of the best, and relatively common, mathematical erorrs.
 
@zyabin101 I tried that. You get Andy.
 
... wait, that does only recognise serif and sans serif.
 
7:53 PM
@zyabin101 I tried there too. It's not Marvaloha. identifont.com/find?similar=Andy+Bold&q=Go
@daHugLenny Close but the a's there have upper tail thingies :/
 
@HelkaHomba like serifs?
 
@HelkaHomba you used paint
 
@zyabin101 No. Look at the a in the image. No "hat".
 
Why doy ou need the font?
 
^
also @flawr you lost the pic?
 
7:57 PM
@flawr So I can update the image and use the font elsewhere
@NathanMerrill I don't think so. As far as I remember I just typed "Helka Homba" in some font in Gimp. It's not a trick question. It's really confusing me :I
@flawr it's my YouTube channel art fyi youtube.com/HelkaHomba
