Hello
1000000000 and I were working on a solution to your problem and I had some more extensive questions I would like to ask if thats okay
I could ask them in comments but I have between 2-5 questions depending on the answers to eahc sucessive questions and I thought it might clog up the comments on the question if I asked them all at once
If you would prefer me to ask there first I will

@DJMcMayhem I forgot to ping you on the first message so you probably haven't seen this. (If you already saw this I apologize for pinging you unnecessarily)

@WheatWizard Yeah sure, ask ahead! I'm about to go bed now, and I'll be pretty busy tomorrow, but I'll try to answer any questions you have

Ah well I went to sleep about 2 minutes before you responded
but here it goes anyway
1) If a language only has binary I/O can we output the year in binary?
e.g. Brainbool
2) If a language only has graphical I/O can we output the year as a image file?
e.g. Paintfuck

@WheatWizard You shouldve pinged me, otherwise I probably won't see it. :D

@DJMcMayhem Sorry I keep forgetting
DJMcMayhem

If that's really the only way to do output, I don't see any reason why not. Of course, you should probably mention something about it in your answer

@DJMcMayhem ok thanks
@DJMcMayhem My next question is a little more specific
the braincopter interpreter takes visual input in the form of a .png image while Piet takes input in a .ppm image. Is it ok to make my polyglot a .ppm that would run in braincopter if converted to a .png.
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
Are the bytes the same?
Wheat Wizard
Wheat Wizard
@DJMcMayhem no they get changed in the conversion
DJMcMayhem

Probably not then
Wheat Wizard
Wheat Wizard
braincopter is not specific to .png but the interpreter is
ok then
If I made my own interpreter that followed the spec of the language would that be ok?
DJMcMayhem
DJMcMayhem
You know, that's seems perfectly reasonable to me, but I think it would technically make the answer non-competing. :/
Now I'm really curious to see what you do
Wheat Wizard
Wheat Wizard
ok I am writing it up now it should be up today I think.
