Q: Scoring 6,5,4 (AKA Ship, Captain, and Crew)

VeskahInspired and looted from this dice challenge by Arnauld Input You are given a 5x1 or 1x5 (your choice) dice matrix which consist of binary 3x3 sub-matrices. Goal Given a valid dice matrix (both forms of 2, 3, and 6 included), you are to score it using the rules of 6,5,4 which are as follows: ...

@wastl Imgur is having problems, I think. I was unable to add a new image through SE's interface. I tried when I made this question.
Also, a bunch of avatars aren't showing up. Mine isn't.

imagine how confused people with screen readers are, every day :P

Yeah I was wrong, you need to star with a letter and cannot end with whitespace
I guess 0 is a letter
Fun fact: 0 ''s username is that because it is the lexographically first possible username.

Q: crossed out 44 is still regular 44 ;(

Kevin CruijssenIntroduction On March 24th, 2015 @isaacg golfed his Pyth answer from 44 to 42 bytes. Since a crossed out 44 (44) looks a lot like a regular 44, @Optimizer made the following comment: striked out 44 is still normal 44 :( After that, on October 21st, 2015, @Doorknob♦ golfed his Ruby answer f...

AJFaradayWhen you roll a die, you have a 6:1 chance of any given option. There's a bookmaker taking bets on die rolls. He owns £20 at the start of the game. The bookmaker offers odds of 3:1, but gamblers take it, because there's money on offer. There are 10 gamblers. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J. E...

@Mayube wouldn't be surprised if one of the JS experts goes and golfs another 30% off
 
probably
I'm not the best at golfing JS, and even after posting managed to golf around another 100 bytes, although most of that was due to the OP confirming that the table format doesn't matter as long as it is recognizable as a table

@LuisfelipeDejesusMunoz then the |0 isn't needed
not sure if it can be considered random though
 
d.toString() => d+""
 
@ASCII-only yeah if I add the one before echoing out I can remove t altogether and use r in the ternaries
 
@ASCII-only right, Not random at all
 
12:36 PM
managed to knock it down to 432b with these changes :D
I'll avoid using Date for defining r because the challenge calls for a random number and I'm not sure that would fall under PPCG's standard definition of random

oh that's clever. I was trying to find a way to assign repeat to a variable, didn't realise you could do it like that
although your version will output the roll value from 0-5 not 1-6

@Mayube but we're not JS experts :P

exactly xD I dont know too much about js
 
also y[4]+=g(c(p+=r?-1:4,2)+'|')
ok well on the other hand i've used JS a lot
 
Some of these changes were things I didn't know about in JS, but a lot of them just come down to me being bad at golfing
 
i could possibly match the JS golfers? but it'd probably take me too many edits

@ASCII-only wait can you explain what you did to the padding function?
@LuisfelipeDejesusMunoz I have facepalmed so many times in the past 10 minutes :C
 
@Mayube i split it into the 4-digit one and 2-digit one, the 2-digit one appends '|' and also space if n is not >9
 
oh interesting
putting all those variable declarations in the for loop doesn't lower bytes though, just reduces readability :/

also just to avoid readability confusion with regards to x the unused argument and x the variable, i changed the unused argument to $

@LuisfelipeDejesusMunoz this doesn't work, p isn't always 10, only on the first turn
@ASCII-only this still has the same problem
 
@Mayube problem?
 
look at your output
the letters disappear over multiple rounds
 
@Mayube You declare j value before changing p so it works. I think...
 
the number of letters being show is equal to how much money the players have
@LuisfelipeDejesusMunoz no because j is redeclared every turn, p is declared once before the turn, and changed each turn

@Mayube on a side note, this is oddly close to 30%
hmm. looks like not that much more can be done. maybe minor arithmetic and formatting changes, so i'll probably go to sleep now
 
@ASCII-only wouldn't that fail if b goes negative?
if either of the first 2 turns rolls a 1 b will go to -10 or -20
 
@Mayube is that not <0
-something * positive = big -something
 
yeah gotcha
ignore me
28.70%
for an actual 30% we'd need to get the bytecount down to 317
the word bytes is officially onto the next line in my post
in d is the template needed? Would (n+'') be shorter?
no, same length :P

Can you take a look at this please and give me your thoughts codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/16769/…

my bad xD but did you read it already?
 
Yeah haha. I don't see a problem with copying the answer as long as you admit that you copied it
(or people never find out) ;)
 
Hmmm....
I have two meetings scheduled at the same time comin up. One of them is actually important, but at the other one there are cookies provided
 
@Neil come on, don't give up, I'm pretty sure that you will only need to do 1/4 of the checks

labmannWe take an array, then write a function that will traverse the array and generate the array in a format given in the example below. For example, given the array: Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Tom [age] => 32 [key] => Array ( [0] => abc [1] => def ...

 
Is it just me or is there an unusually high number of KOTH posts right now.
 
Seems to be one every week or so
Compared to about 6 months ago, where it was once/month

@EriktheOutgolfer I don't actually know if there are other ways of determining the time in a Novell login script, and I'm too lazy to install Novell and a client in a couple of VMs to try it by trial and error anyway

They posted the same thing twice, with the code formatting fixed this time

Q: Toggle some bits and get a square

ArnauldGiven an integer \$N>3\$, you have to find the minimum number of bits that need to be inverted in \$N\$ to turn it into a square number. You are only allowed to invert bits below the most significant one. Examples \$N=4\$ already is a square number (\$2^2\$), so the expected output is \$0\$. \...
