@NewSandboxedPosts @Riley I bet you already have something like this, but just in case you don't, I've got some python code that can generate all brain-flak snippets up to a certain length. If it would help you come up with test-cases, I'd be happy to share it with you

Q: Finding the center point

Challenge: To take two points of a 2 dimensional graph and figure out the position of the point that would be between them with an equal distance to each of the other points. Example: Input: (0,0),(3.3) Output: 1.5,1.5 Input: (-1,-1),(1,1) Output: 0,0 Input: (-7,3),(2,-2) Output: -2.5,0.5...

@Downgoat cheddar has a formal grammar right? Did you manually implement it, or did you use a parser?

Riley

@DJMcMayhem That would be helpful. I wrote something quick in 05AB1E, but it runs out of memory very quickly.

@ConorO'Brien It's been a while since I've looked at the repo, but Downgoat appears to have moved it from cheddar to cheddar-parser

The parser is called Ches and I believe Downgoat wrote it themself

@ConorO'Brien I wrote a parser engine, but some stuff is implemented manually for speed

DJMcMayhem

@Riley Crap, I can't find it anywhere

Conor O'Brien

@Downgoat ok wow lol

DJMcMayhem

I'm sorry ;_;

Conor O'Brien

also @DJMcMayhem Microsoft's JScript has one thing on JavaScript: syncronous stdin reading :P

WScript.Stdin.ReadLine()

Is Scratch a valid language here?

A: Create a Paint program!

Scratch, 10 Scratch bytes Try it online!

Conor O'Brien

22:12

of course it is

tho if you're planning on trying to win with that: its not "scratch bytes", its "scratch blocs", and the byte count must be a physical representation like that below

Or, at least, that which was below

also the Try it online! link is a tad misleading, I got my hopes up for a second :P

Mendeleev

@Dennis?

Possible to phosphorus.github.io with TIO?

It is MIT licensed

Riley

@DJMcMayhem No worries. I'll write something myself.

Downgoat

@ConorO'Brien cough sync prompt cough

Conor O'Brien

cough doesn't work on windows cough

Downgoat

cough install VS cough :P

Conor O'Brien

22:21

cough what? cough

Downgoat

oh visual studio

idk why but npm says you need

ETHproductions

@Mendeleev See this meta question

Pavel

VS is bad use Clion instead

Conor O'Brien

installing visual studio to read STDIN is like installing babel to use an obscure feature >_>

@ConorO'Brien I don't think asking for C++ toolchain to use C++ is too bad of an offer

Conor O'Brien

@Downgoat idk what C++ toolchain is

ATaco

I prefer to not use c++

Conor O'Brien

and use what, java? :P

Downgoat

@ConorO'Brien C++ toolchain = C++ compiler + other things to run C++ program

Conor O'Brien

oh ok

those are necessary for the language, whilst the other things aren't

Downgoat

22:32

@ConorO'Brien Even with Java you need to make C++ bindings to do low-level things

@WheatWizard in case you haven't realized:

I know you can't edit, just poitning it out

Q: Why do grape-flavored foods taste different than actual grapes?

Grapes are one of my favorite fruits, but I typically don't like grape-flavored foods. For example, grape jelly or grape candies (like Jolly Ranchers) have a distinctly different taste. I imagine some of the taste perception has to do with water content. Why is it so different?

flavor grapes

tl;dr: grape flavoring is made from a different grape that most people eat

Interesting, Amazon released it's custom ubuntu kernel, with allegedly 30% faster kernel boot times and less deadlocks: launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-aws

Q: Make text triangle waves

I was messing around on my 'ol TI-84 CE and made a program that produced this output (it was actually bigger but that is not the point): * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ... I evolved it to take input text and make the triangle waves out of that. The final step was to also ta...
