A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

petStormNon-ASCII Hello World code-golf restricted-source hello-world Background Usually, people accuse modern golfing languages for looking like Unicode line noise. Some of them ban all unicode characters in the submissions' source code in their challenges, in order to allow only practical languages to ...

AndrewThe sequence discussed in this challenge is a variant of the Descending Dungeons sequence family. Specifically, the sequence generation rules: (A_b = A's base 10 representation read as a base b number, A = A_10) A(0) = 10 A(n) = 10_(11_(12_(...(n+9)_(n+10)))) Your goal is to make a program which...

Q: How can I improve my post?

MrSiliconGuyJust recently I posted this king-of-the-hill question. It was a rock paper scissors contest, but opponents had access to each other's source codes. It wasn't very well received - it had some downvotes and will likely soon be closed. I would like to know why it was't well recieved, to keep note of...

Q: Minifying a CSS minification code with Javascript

derder56Earlier today, I was playing around and I made up a CSS minification code using Javascript. The code is very simple and goes as follows: var x = prompt("css:"); // ask for x var a = ["@", "{", "}", "[", "]", "=", ":", ";", " ", ",", "'", '"']; // define letters for (var i = 0; i < a.length; ...
