Conways' Game of Life is a well known cellular automaton "played" on an infinite grid, filled with cells that are either alive or dead. Once given an initial state, the board evolves according to rules indefinitely. Those rules are:
Any live cell with 2 or 3 living neighbours (the 8 cells immedi...
In a given 2d grid of positive integers (representing different types of "bubbles"), there are one of two actions that you can do each "step". You can either:
Pop an island (a connected group of bubbles) of the same type of bubbles, given that the island consists of at least 2 bubbles AND at le...
@Bubbler yea but like idk how to do flood fill so i copy paste some code online, that code i copy paste need both x and y and im too lazy to check for the y coord lol
``` D 1 2 P 0 1 D 1 1 P 1 1 D 1 2 P 2 1 D 1 1 P 3 1 D 1 2 P 4 1 D 1 1 P 5 1 D 1 2 P 6 1 D 4 1 P 0 4 D 4 2 P 1 4 D 4 1 P 2 4 D 4 2 P 3 4 D 4 1 P 4 4 D 4 2 P 5 4 D 4 1 P 6 4 ```
@emanresuA What if the requirement is "must contain a uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, number, and a symbol" which itself doesn't contain a number or uppercase letter or symbol.
How to generate a pronouncable word (Dutch lookalike) using randomized combination of alfabetic characters.
Characters: BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXZ
Vowels: AEIOUY
If neccessary also Digrams and Trigrams can be used, see an explanation of dutch variatios on: https://www.sttmedia.com/syllablefrequency-dutch
Random fact: There is a recurring subpattern that fires two gliders in two different directions. If you see it coming, you can be almost certain that it's not an answer to caird's challenge.
we're all somewhat busy irl, and a fourth mod would help with the flags + as an extra hand in case one of us gets pulled away on a more permanent basis
Tips should be on Meta
I understand that currently they can be posted on both places. However, I think that:
It makes it harder to find tips because they are scattered
It doesn't fit as a "Code Golf or Coding Challenge"
It is more related to "how this site works"
Questions "should" have an objec...
@Ginger quote the fault in our stars, "its a metaphor: you put the killing thing in your mouth but you don't give it the power to kill you". we're just nominating it, we are not even voting it
The wizard has a cunning cousin who is a witch. She looks down on the wizard, regarding him and his puzzles as mathematically naive. On reading his latest puzzle, she scorned him for always asking discrete problems with what she (unfairly) characterises as simple solutions, where the real, prope...
i'm kinda confused about "the witch will tell you the number of points on the number line with value less than or equal to y" and "There is no input in this challenge"
i think theres some confusion on what our ideas of input are here, sure theres no *user* input, but there is a random number that our program is expected to receive to do calculations on
generating it within the function itself seems weird, its like playing catch with yourself
i guess to put it another way; you are relying on some random function to exist somewhere within your code, that is the witch. it is an equivalent problem if the witch exists outside your code, and her values are taken as input. Since the challenge is just about the strategy, implementation details like that dont seem super important, and its the solver's responsibility to figure out how to test it for all the iterations necessary
@mousetail no yeah clearly theres an error, my number is way too low, but i dont have any idea how to see whats wrong with my code, it looks fine to me <: |
