Just check if N is in the sequence

Phoenix

@DJMcMayhem You have to rewrite essentially Mathematica's Solve, and that doesn't always succeed.

DJMcMayhem

@totallyhuman Given N, find the number that comes after/before it in the sequence

@Phoenix Well, it wouldn't be possible for every sequence

totallyhuman

ah ok

so first i have to implement find first

i'm thinking i should allow for find first x instances of n as well

HyperNeutrino

@totallyhuman not too hard with the O(index(n)) solution

wait so why exactly are we both working on essentially the same thing xD

totallyhuman

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i've been waiting for a language that works with oeis

that hasn't happened yet

so i decided this is a great idea

HyperNeutrino

23:10

or maybe this happened

6 hours ago, by totallyhuman

@HyperNeutrino oh that's a great idea; i'm stealing it

xD :P

totallyhuman

yeah after hearing it from you :P

HyperNeutrino

lol I'm filling out an anonymous feedback form to my air cadet squadron about how the training year was any how we could improve

but I'm pretty sure anyone who reads it will know it's me xD

totallyhuman

the title of this question

HyperNeutrino

uh what

lol

Downgoat

@HyperNeutrino :O you are in air force?

wait nvm

HyperNeutrino

23:16

i am 15 xD

it is a cadet thingy which used to feed the air force a long long time ago

in a galaxy far far away

totallyhuman

@HyperNeutrino :O you are in star wars?

HyperNeutrino

Downgoat

star trek?

ATaco

star rekt

Downgoat

Idea: decompile node from x86 -> LLVM -> emscriptem -> JS. And now run node.js in JS

totallyhuman

23:28

somebody answer this question with charcoal

Downgoat

@ASCII-only ^

Is it just me or is ০ which is not 0, match 0 in a browser's find

HyperNeutrino

yup it does ><

totallyhuman

yeah

á matches a too

it's really annoying

Downgoat

though at least a is a latin-based script.

ATaco

I made an efficient Lua based Raytrace algorithm!

totallyhuman

23:36

HyperNeutrino

Not with Charcoal, but I answered it with Paintbrush :P

@ATaco ooo nice! looks good now I want to make one ><

ATaco

That's not a solid thing, it's $1000\pi \over 4$ lines.

HyperNeutrino

lol

how does your program represent the "room"?

as an image, or as vertices?

ATaco

Map of points.

HyperNeutrino

ATaco

23:39

So, kind of an image.

HyperNeutrino

ah ok

ATaco

It would be much more efficient to use vertices.

HyperNeutrino

probably

ATaco

But, this will let me easily do wolfenstein-esque 3d.

HyperNeutrino

ooo interesting

is it fast though

also I tried making a 3d thing once

it was bad

ATaco

23:41

Well, it's running that at 60FPS.

HyperNeutrino

:o nice

ToxicFrog

@ATaco pure lua? Which version?

ATaco

Löve2D, Lua 5.1

Rather simple algorithm, chunks up the map, as the ray moves it checks nearby, and because the map consists only of squares, it solves the x and y intercepts of the line with the bounds of the box, if they fit one of the sides of the box, we've got a hit.

HyperNeutrino

well rip I wanted to cap today

but I can't find any questions to answer
