The Internet™ tells me to tell you to try :set backspace=indent,eol,start
(specifically, a SO question and a vimwikia page :P)
 
It can't be reading my vimrc though because it wasn't handling tabs correctly
 
put something like potatoes in your vimrc and open vim
 
pavlov:~ ararslan$ vim
Error detected while processing /Users/ararslan/.vimrc:
line    1:
E492: Not an editor command: potatoes
Press ENTER or type command to continue
 
so your vimrc is being read

The Internet™ tells me to tell you to try :set backspace=indent,eol,start
 
Okay, that works, but I'm upset that I need it.
 
2:05 AM
Just stick it in your vimrc.
 
But why would I need it now where I didn't before?

A: How can I fix my delete key in VIM over ssh? (Mac OS X)

natb1This worked for me: :set backspace=indent,eol,start I'm not sure exactly what it does but it is listed as a possible solution here and here.

@AlexA. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
:/ okay
Thanks for your help!
 
No problem!
 
@PhiNotPi I would like to add this to your koth server. I think everything will work (I didn't see if java 8 is supported). If something is wrong let me know
 
2:10 AM
@JAtkin Woo! First customer! Give me a couple minutes (time to boot up linux)
 
@PhiNotPi What's this about a koth server I hear?
 
@PhiNotPi lol.. I think java Main is wrong, since I don't have linux...
Its the line I highlighted in the link.

Q: Introducing a KOTH server!

PhiNotPiThe Motivation The desire for a KOTH server has been around for a while. There have been a couple notable meta discussions about it in the past: Creating an official place to become a King of the Hill tester How could we run KotHs in a distributed fashion? By being able to host KOTHs on a se...

 
@JAtkin Thanks!
 
Funnily enough, I happen to (sorta) be developing a KotH server as well, though it probably won't be as general-purpose as PhiNotPi's. :P
 
Okay, I'm in Linux now. Time to see if my server still works.
 
2:18 AM
@PhiNotPi ElementaryOS?
 
Yes
 
Still liking it?
 
It's okay
I've been using Windows more frequently
Mostly for Finale
 
Is there any decent music composition software for Linux?
 
@AlexA. MuseScore
 
2:26 AM
@Doorknob冰 @PhiNotPi ^
 
Does it have a good synthesizer?
 
@PhiNotPi @Doorknob冰 ^
 
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Okay, so this is Connect-n time on the server koth-phinotpi.rhcloud.com/runkoth.pl?Connect-n=view
but obviously the run command does not work
 
2:31 AM
I'm updating it with the command javac *.java; java Main
 
That's some excellent Java right there
/bin/bash: julia: command not found

shell returned 127

Press ENTER or type command to continue
@Doorknob冰 halp
:!julia %
 
... well, do you have a julia command?
 
Yes
It's in my path
 
$ which julia
 
Well, the controller is still borken on my server
 
2:34 AM
pavlov:~ ararslan$ which julia
/Applications/Julia-0.4.2.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia
 
From vim: :!echo $PATH
 
Restarted Terminal.app and now it works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@JAtkin Where is the scoreboard.txt created?
At the top level of the current directory (in Connect-in Time) or in /src/java ?
 
In my IDE it lands in the root dir, but if that doesn't work try searching for ScoreBoard.txt in the build dir.
 
2:51 AM
@JAtkin Does your controller work by trawling cg.se for updated answers, or by you having the competitor source files on github?
 
sorry how to print file structure of current directory in BATCH/CMD
?
Or python
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ get a sane shell, and then ls -R
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ dir
 
@Doorknob冰 that takes too long
@AlexA. thanks. I know you've told me before >_<
Is there a way to recursively do that on subfolders as well?
 
2:54 AM
dir /s
 
1 min ago, by Doorknob 冰
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ get a sane shell, and then ls -R
 
@AlexA. :D thanks
 
No problem
I've had to do a fair bit of Batch scripting for work.
 
@JAtkin Well, then the controller command also has to include the commands to get the updates from github
Which I guess I'll figure out
 
Huh. I didn't think of that. If it's too much trouble don't worry about it - the challenge is almost done and I can do it easily.
 
2:58 AM
@JAtkin You said this was Java 8?
 
Yes
 
Okay, I just checked and the server has Java 7
What to do?
 
Don't worry about it. ^^^^^
 
Split the difference and get Java 7.5
 
^ He's right on average.
 
3:09 AM
Or java 7b50
Bye! @PhiNotPi Thanks for trying anyway!

@Cyoce Need help?
 
No I got it
I'm gonna use the new ES6 function*(){} yield

But cross-browser support!
 
then I might....

@Cyoce You... renamed the language?
 
how does that work?
Apparently I just discovered another language

That bot is messed up
 
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ So then I just use alert like I normally would?
 
nice
I can do the same with prompt?
 
3:39 AM
I have it implemented here in Jolf.
You should be able to.
 
That's an elegant solution. Nice!
 
Thanks! ^_^
That made my day.
 
As soon as I think I know JavaScript, another weird thing I didn't think was possible appears.
 
^ Yup.
That pretty much never stops happening.
 
Is there a way to make it wait?
Like blocking between alert statements?
 
3:44 AM
Like, a pause?
 
Waiting for a keypress/click
Or having prompt wait for input
 
I couldn't think of a way to do that without the generator function yield statement
 
You could set up a setTimeout loop within the anonymous function including your code logic.
 
That's ugly, but I guess it's not so bad in dynamically generated code...
 
3:47 AM
It really is ugly ._.
Generator functions are best, but are only (?) implemented in Firefox
 
Chrome too

Really that many people view your coding blog on the #1 browser for downloading another browser?
 
4:05 AM
@Cyoce I know! It's weird O_O
 
Maybe I just detect what browser they're on and give them the crappy default alert if they don't support it

That could work, too.

4:55 AM
@BlueBerry-Vignesh4303 well, Im about to leave but here is my two cents: dont allow code obfuscation, add an explanation on what answers people should upvote, describe the wanted output in words, don't require an input of how long to run, etc.
 
yeah the same one which "newmetapost" quoted
 
I don't think it could be
means there is one exact thing you need to do (or something very similar)
 
good point.
 
@GamrCorps ok shall i reframe like this : i will remove code -obfuscation,and let users print only letters not numbers,
will it be fine?
ok
 
"The matrix effect" is vague, and you would need to describe exactly how it would need to be implemented, and what the pattern would need to be
 
4:57 AM
^
 
Otherwise they can just output random characters and say "matrix effect"
for example:
 
Try posting it on the sandbox. You will probably get more help on actually building the question there.
 
while(true) alert(String.fromCharCode((Math.random()*255)|0)
There! Random characters! Matrix effect!
 
@Cyoce Well, that's for a code-golf. Popcon can be a little more broad.
 
Alternatively, keep it as , and judge on which produces the best-looking matrix effect, i.e. the one that most effectively protrays that of the movie
 
4:59 AM
> the one that most effectively protrays that of the movie
That's key.

5:43 AM
The APL code page is an EBCDIC-based code page used specifically to write programs written in the APL programming language. == Character set == Due to its origins on IBM Selectric Teleprinters, APL symbols have traditionally been represented on the wire using a unique, non-standard character set.

Over time, with the universal use of high-quality graphic display, printing devices and Unicode support, the APL character font problem has largely...

It's more natural to score that language that way.
You can fit all instructions into one byte.

@Doorknob冰 The above graphic may be of interest to you. :P ^^^^
 
.....huh. I just accidentally stumbled upon a stable orbit on a toroidal field that crosses an edge.
Talking about Spacewar!, that is.
Not quite stable in the long term though.
I wonder if anyone has ever studied orbits on torii.
 
@El'endiaStarman I don't see how there can be an edge when we're speaking of orbit... But I don't play spacewar, so it may have to do something with that ^^'
 
@El'endiaStarman Theorically, you could have a stable "orbit" by staying in position in the middle of the torus (didn't know how to say it in english ^^')
 
Torus in the sense that the field is toroidal, not that it's an actual 3D torus.
 
7:37 AM
@El'endiaStarman got it ^^'
 
One thing I find really interesting is that there's a cycle of four pass-bys of the sun, and they alternate like this: two close in, then two further away, then two close in, and so forth.
It's not totally stable over the long term because I do gravity a linear step at a time, so the close parts get closer and the far parts get further until the ship hits the sun.
 
@El'endiaStarman wait, will read spacewar's specs

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

El'endia StarmanSpacewar! king-of-the-hill If you've ever played Spacewar!, you know it was a fun game. If you haven't, know this: it was (and is) one of the very first and most important computer games. And it's still fun! The clone I grew up on is this one, which is, apparently and unfortunately, Windows only...

 
The bot could be analyzing if he's in case X (hazardous case) to allow him redirecting his orbit
Instead of having a stable orbit, you'd keep this one, and sometimes correcting it
 
8:08 AM
I've been owned because I forgot lua arrays were 1 indexed...
 
@El'endiaStarman You could probably improve the stability by using velocity Verlet instead of Euler updates. I posted an answer about that to gamedev some time back.
 
8:22 AM
Actually, since you've only got one gravity source, patched conics would be even better.
 
@IlmariKaronen I'm trying to implement this now.
First try, I forgot to average the accelerations for updating the velocity. The result: ships spiraled in.
Second try, I averaged them, now I have no idea what the gravitational field is like.
Ah-ha, found the problem.
I had force*dx/dis in both x and y velocities...
 
TIL that upgrading Xcode to v7 removes the Yosemite SDKs even if you're on Yosemite. So much ಠ_ಠ
 
Hmm. Verlet integration doesn't appear to be perfect. If I put a ship into a really elongated orbit, then it precesses, like it did before.
Now, that could be because of two things: 1) the gravitational field is essentially constant very close to the sun (within 10 pixels, where the sun is 5 px in radius) and 2) there is a maximum speed for spaceships, imposed in the interest of making games playable.
 
Yeah, it still precesses. Verlet makes the dynamics reversible, but it's still not exact if the gravity field isn't uniform.
 
gotcha
I don't see much of a benefit to using Verlet integration in this case.
 
8:34 AM
Patched conics actually would be exact in your case, except maybe where the screen wraps around.
 
And besides, this is a game where people/AI shoot at each other, so it probably doesn't really matter that much. :P
 
Well, you do want things to be reasonably controllable, it sucks when your ship get too close to the planet and suddenly gets a crazy velocity.
 
The sun is fatal, so...
 
Actually, just a smaller physics timestep would probably help a lot with that anyway.
It's not like you've got a lot of stuff to simulate.
 
Also, that's the reason the constant gravitational field really close in and maximum speed limit exist.
Well, I'll be adding collision detection...
 
8:39 AM
Still shouldn't be that bad. And you could always try running multiple gravity steps between each collision check, if the collision detection really is too slow.
 
yeah
We'll see.
I think I'm just going to stick with Euler integration for now.

Q: Language changes that possibly break old answers?

Luis MendoI've seen some code golf languages that still a work in progress (functions being added etc), but they have already been made public and people are posting answers using those languages. I'd like to know what the standard practice is regarding changes to the language as it's still being polished...

 
@orlp Is there exactly one point for each color you can encode on x bits? (I assume 3 bytes, so 2^24 points with different values?)
 
@Katenkyo no, it's simply a cube of a certain size
and the cube is sampled at each point from the RGB color cube
