A: Remapping ASCII

Mwr247JavaScript (ES6), 3791 3172 3169 2548 2144 2104 Code J='' for(t=95;t--;)J+=String.fromCharCode(t*53%95+32) alert(J) Output Jt?i4^)S}Hr=g2\'Q{Fp;e0Z%OyDn9c.X#MwBl7a,V!Ku@j5_*T~Is>h3](R|Gq<f1[&PzEo:d/Y$NxCm8b-W"LvAk6`+U

Is the v+ part of (v,i)=>v+i*3%95+32 necessary? It seems to me that it simply adds 0 every time since the array is filled with 0s....

@UndefinedFunction It seems not. Didn't focus too hard on optimizing, since I was working on an alternative method that ended up shorter anyways. Thanks! =)

UndefinedFunction
for(w=95;w-->0;) can be for(w=95;w--;), because 0 is falsy and 1, 2, 3... are truthy.

@UndefinedFunction Wow, how did I not think of that! You just shaved 56 points off of my best, bringing it to 2144 now :D Still trying to get it below 2000 though...

Easy improvement: use newlines instead of semicolons to separate statements. Newlines count as 1.

Down another 40 to 2104. Almost there!

@Mwr247 move t=95 to the top, and replace your for(t=95;t--;) with while(t=t-1) .... down to 2067! :D
Mwr247
Mwr247
I can either do (for 2172)

t=96
while(t=t-1)

or (for 2071)

t=95
while(t--)
unless I'm missing something
to do

t=96
while(t=t-1)

gives me a missing " "

This is what I was thinking: jsfiddle link
but on 2nd thought that seems to leave off the last space
Mwr247
Mwr247
Yeah, missing the space " " on the end
yeah
same thing, but with -- instead of =t-1 gets close
UndefinedFunction
UndefinedFunction
yeah that's probably the best option

71 more...
given the other optimizations we've made as way, I may be able to run it through the different modulo permutations again and find one lower than 53 was
UndefinedFunction

soooo close now!
Mwr247
Mwr247
I think I have it. one sec...
big time
i=''
S=t=95
while(t--)i+=String.fromCharCode(t*11%S+32)
alert(i)
1885! :D

Nice! :D
Mwr247
Mwr247
yeah, that's the best permutation that I could find, and much better than I expected
I think I'll let it be for now haha
thanks for your help! really trimmed that down
impressed JS can score so well
especially since there's no good way around String.fromCharCode()
