@MDXF For what it's worth, this is the list of languages I've been looking at. It's either stuff that someone mentioned in chat/in their post, or things I stumbled across that seemed like they might work, though I haven't spent too long on any of them. pastebin.com/53VAg3t0
Weird. Thought I had enough rep to avoid that now.
On another note, I've got an answer working in everything but Grass, but I have no clue how to fix Grass. https://tio.run/##zTrLcttIkufGL8ylDLINgCRepEhLAklJtqVZd9strSU/wiQtF8EiCQsPNgCKlGU69robe5j7XPY4/zHX/Yr5hz33ZlaBL5GSuyNmIxaSgAIqKzMrX5WVpS5Nhr/9lsOLnEX@zcCPUpKyJCW92LtmsUGe3pBD6iXVckWSOFQc9cauFw5IOmTEC0fjlPQ9nyWSS1PSJKMMi4ENkiMxoz0BJvWjmOAQElz5xCPuaES6Ph0aLvE9DptEAfanLB7FDO4JCRnrkWTEXK/vuZwOYdOUhYkXhYlBPPeKTDzfJz3mw4AlcbcEyMg4WfkkSBlSL5IIXO7oDquLtzwDmJDNp8tGNObTjciIz30@60lMRyNgUsqRc2A89QKWEC9VEsJo4qEMYUjCwh6X1Ggh3YjQcHWW5NqjhAK/45jjTlicwvQMjpcMWcwAJUXig5gGRJ3EXgoiQEEekTNGY3IRM6YBFVAAS1w6A…
Hm...we ran into that with another language and I don't think it was allowed, because that caused me to go on a crazy hunt through the depths of the internet for an interpreter that didn't follow int outputs with a space
for whichever lang that was; but if we golf around it anyways that works
@snoringfrog it came up with the befunges and minkolang. But we output the number as a string which didn't have trailing spaces. I would argue that if it is possible to output as a string without a trailing space, that should be required. Otherwise, if it is truly impossible to output the right value without a trailing space, it's fine.
@MDXF Moorhens is very buggy, I would like to fix all the bugs before adding it to TIO, in which case it wouldn't be very useful because we would have to test it locally anyway to make sure it does not encounter a bug.
@WheatWizard The Alphuck interpreter in the test driver is newer than this challenge. It is considered a test abstraction for the intended interpreter which predates this challenge. It's not perfect, but it is better than not being in Tio. Moorhens could probably fall into this same line of reasoning, if you were so inclined to put a version on Tio.
note that that guide aims for portability (in particular, it doesn't move the pointer left of its starting position), although it does contain special cases for 8-bit cells
so you can often golf off a leading < if you can make assumptions about the interpreter, which you typically can on PPCG
Trigger cares about having the same character 2 or 3 times in a row; however, it also has a jump instruction that can be used to jump over awkward code
and it's currently used to jump over the bulk of the program, so moving your line somewhere in the middle seems like the best option there
Here's a situation that came up recently in chat, and I realised I'm not sure what our rules are.
A few challenges require code to run without crashing/erroring. As such, a runtime error would make the answer ineligible. For example, here's a requirement from the "add a language to a polyglot" c...
@ais523 I found something interesting with gfortran. While fortran doesn't impliment a block comment, I suspect the preprocessor reads /* block comments .
What I do is I always have a Windows Notepad window open with the working Incident tokens pasted into it, then I copy-paste the new tokens under it and see if they're the same
and if they're not the same I screw around with it until they are
I need a 3 char Moorhens token for pop that doesn't include m/s/p or a Moorhens token for roll that includes an f and doesn't have any dangerous-to-evil characters before the f
