@MDXF Seems to be. Only thing I'd suggest clarifying is whether input and output can be separate; e.g., could I take input via an HTML field and output to console?

@MDXF I think, in this case, you need to be more explicit about the fact that you don't necessarily need to overwrite the input; you can output elsewhere.
@Shaggy I think the second-to-last rule makes it clear what's acceptable in this case; None of the characters of s may appear on the screen, c excepted (see previous rule).
so yes, you may output elsewhere as long as the input is still invisible
Your challenge is to read a "password" from the keyboard / standard input.
Challenge:
Read a string s invisibly.
For each of the characters in s, print a character c.
In realtime.
Rules:
You must print c in realtime. As soon as the user enters a character of s you must display c.
c must be...
Draw an XBox
Here's an X:
\ /

And here's a Box:

So, for an XBox, just draw an X in a Box:

|\ /|
| \/ |

If the \/s cross in the same character, place an X, as per Draw a big slash X

Challenge idea: Given a list of unique colour names as input, sort them in the order that they appear in Josepeh's Dreamcoat. Thoughts before I Sandbox it?
@Riker I'm just looking for feedback on the challenge idea first, before I put the work into writing it up for Sandbox. Off the top of my head, though, the first 8 are: red, yellow, green, brown, scarlet, black, ochre, peach. I think there are 29 altogether.
Just need to pick a song from Joseph now to work as a title - "Joseph's Coat" wouldn't be long enough. This gimmick I decided on of using song titles for all my challenges is gonna come back to bite me on the ass!

Anything not clear enough?
Tag suggestions?
Suggestions for test cases?
Should I allow for each name to appear more than once in the input and/or other colour names to and require that the colours in the output be unique and...
And that's me done for the day - have a good weekend, all :)
@programmer5000 IIRC I think someone already tried posting it and it failed. It's not a good challenge in its current state. I don't plan to do anything more with it.

Question: is reference counting or tracing GC better. Reference counting seem like obvious good idea but everyone use java and java use clunky tracing GC
The goal:
Build a function that takes a string of coins terminating in an item index, and generates change as a string of coins using the least amount of coins possible
