@Phoenix Trusted users can vote to delete questions once they reach a score of -3.

idk what you guys do out here but it sure as hell ain't normal :P

@VoteToClose Please don't answer off-topic questions, and especially not in the comments. I'd ping TimTech too but he's unpingable.

PhiNotPi

why does site analytics have a higher rep requirement than trusted user?

VoteToClose

@Mego Okiedokie. I tried to make mine as obfuscated as possible to avoid answering the question. ;P

@VoteToClose That's code-trolling, which is even more of a bad idea

@Dennis Yay! I can delete-vote it.

Q: What's the Date?

Challenge Weirdly, this hasn't been done yet: output the current date in ISO-8601 format. Rules ISO-8601 date format is as follows: YYYY-MM-DD Where the month and day should be padded by zeroes if they are less than 10. For example, if the program is run on the 24th May 2017, it should out...

Q: Klein Topololyglots

Klein is a 2D language I have designed that can be embedded on 12 different topological surfaces. A Klein program can be run on different surfaces by changing the command line arguments. Here is a chart showing all of the surfaces based on their arguments. Task The task is pretty simple, wr...

@PhiNotPi Are you planning on posting this to main?

PhiNotPi

@Mego no, why?

You think I should?

Anonymous

It would make a decent challenge, and I was considering posting it to main if you didn't

PhiNotPi

I'll post it since it's been a while since I've posted a challenge

Also... why is # mod 127 and not mod 128?

@Mego Should I require people to handle other characters in the source code?

@PhiNotPi I think so

Also an optional trailing newline should be acceptable, for the languages that can't suppress them (and the languages where suppressing them is difficult to the point that it detracts from the challenge)

I've gotten some downvotes on that question, can't say I'm surprised.

@PhiNotPi "Transpile ;# into your language" Damn, I was just thinking of that.

semicolon-# it already has a tag

@PhiNotPi it's not possible is it..?

PhiNotPi

@totallyhuman nope :)

Anonymous

I'm pretty sure cat isn't possible in ;#, since there's no input

totallyhuman

maybe ;#+ can do it...

wait ofc it can

does so quickly

PhiNotPi

What is ;#+?

MD XF

@PhiNotPi A Turing-complete language based off ;#

PhiNotPi

9:14 PM

What does + do?

MD XF

@PhiNotPi That's just the name of the language, there are a lot more commands than ;#+.

I forgot who made it but someone will undoubtedly answer the challenge in ;#+, so we'll see

programmer5000

+ : Make the language turing complete by evaling the accumulator as BLC.

DJMcMayhem

@WheatWizard That's a nice word avalanche

totallyhuman

tries to figure out how to write a cat program in ;#+ and fails miserably

Wheat Wizard

Didn't know that was a thing.

DJMcMayhem

9:22 PM

It is, and it's amazing

Also, now I'm super curious to learn Klein

Wheat Wizard

Klein is really mind bending especially if you use any topology that doesn't start with 0

DJMcMayhem

Nevermind. I read through the wiki, and I don't think I'm smart enough to learn it

Q: Compressing a list of numbers

Hope this is the right forum for this question. Given a short list of numbers, let's say in the range 0-4095 and a maximum length of 50, e.g. 0,4,5,21,27,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,100,101,1002,1035,2004,2049,2076,2080,2088,2089,2090,2096,2204,2210,2219,2220,2486,2496,2497,2498,2517,2518,2519,2535,25...

Wheat Wizard

@DJMcMayhem Its a really bad explanation. I'm working on making the interface a little more intuitive.

DJMcMayhem

@WheatWizard What exactly is a fundamental square?

Wheat Wizard

9:26 PM

It is a representation of the surface.

For example

DJMcMayhem

Is there a good way to visualize the various topologies? Maybe some pictures/diagrams?

Wheat Wizard

The fundamental squares are the best way to go

totallyhuman

stops failing

Wheat Wizard

Most 2D programming languages live on a torus, that is when you go off one end you appear on the other side

that has the fundamental square of
     ->>--
    |     |
    v     v
    |     |
     -->>-

The top matches the bottom, the east matches the west and everything is going the same direction

Now if we took one of the arrows and reversed it

     ->>--
    |     |
    v     ^
    |     |
     -->>-

We end up with a different surface

things going off the top and bottom still behave the same way but things going off the east and west get flipped in the process

MD XF

@PhiNotPi yep, there's the ;#+ answer (@WheatWizard It's not mine, I'm not self-advertising :3)

Wheat Wizard

9:33 PM

Here is an example of a possible path on that second topology:

........
....>>>>
........
>>>>@...
........

When it goes off the edge near the top it appears near the bottom

@DJMcMayhem Is this at all helpful? I feel like I'm not the best explainer/

DJMcMayhem

That does make sense. I've got more questions, but I'm busy now. I'll ping ya later

Wheat Wizard

Ok np

totallyhuman

DJMcMayhem

That example is almost like a Mobius strip

Wheat Wizard

Its a Klein Bottle, which is the 4D equivalent of a Möbius strip.

Would python randomly happen to have a predefined symbol assigned to 0?

Destructible Lemon

@Phoenix False?

you can do weird things with it in python 2

I think

I specifically needed to be able to do <symbol>+=1

So False works

Thanks

only in python2 though

python3 is less insane
