Sandbox posts last active a week ago: Parse some Husk (WIP)

Browncat Programs

01:53

@DLosc I had thought of maybe letting functions use any characters other than whitespace, then you could just parse things as somewhat complex strings of functions, with undefined ones being null

That could end up looking a lot like a practical language if you have some fairly complex chaining rules

exedraj

@BrowncatPrograms I only just played the climbing mini game from the google doodle and man frick that owl

Who does he think he is, throwing snow at me?

emanresu A

Try beting it in sub30

exedraj

Doesn't he realise I beat sans from undertale on a simulation website?

emanresu A

Or, if you're up for a challenge, sub25

exedraj

going for perfect on the rhythm game was pain enough

I'm not about to 100% everything

emanresu A

01:59

Dont worry

This is fairly easy

Even I can do it

Browncat Programs

@BrowncatPrograms pathetic

real gamers try for a whole hour to get 63100

the google grind is real

user

@exedraj ikr

Couldn’t find the sister because of that

emanresu A

Do not question my sunglasses\

user

Actually I think the owl is a sister

emanresu A

02:03

@user You're looking in the wrong place

The sister is somewhere else on the mountain

user

There’s three sisters right

emanresu A

Yes

How mayn have you found;\

user

The one on marathon island said the second would be at the top of the mountain

Just 1

emanresu A

Yes

Do you want a hint?

user

Pls

emanresu A

02:05

Ok, from the area with the challenge, go left and up.

Pretty please?

user

@BrowncatPrograms what do you have to say for urself

Browncat Programs

No no, that was before I grew a fourth finger on my paw

I've since left

user

02:07

Don’t think we don’t know it’s you just because theres one less finger

exedraj

@BrowncatPrograms How tf do you grow a fourth finger?

user

@BrowncatPrograms aw, couldn’t you have fixed some bugs before leaving

Browncat Programs

I started a marathon my accident trying to roll >:|

user

@exedraj carefully

emanresu A

Slate just earned a talkative badge :p

exedraj

02:09

@BrowncatPrograms like I get things like flowers turning into an eldritch abomination, but I don't get growing a fourth finger

emanresu A

Feedback?

Needs more stuff I know

user

@exedraj here’s how you do it: 1. Become rich 2. Live healthy to live longer (this requires some luck) 3. 3. Meanwhile fund research on extending life spans 4. Extend life span using that 5. Live until tech very advanced 6. Use tech to grow finger 7. Flip someone the bird

Browncat Programs

Why not just fund research on growing fingers?

Seems easier than expanding your whole life

exedraj

imagine needing research funding for transformations

made by absorption of human souls gang

user

@BrowncatPrograms won’t live long enough to see it cooto fruition

@exedraj imagine needing human souls for transformation

Made by transmofrifier gang

exedraj

02:16

@user I'd like to see you look like this without souls ;p

user

Lol

True, I’d need a lot of souls to look that good :p

Duolingo has started personifying the pictures of people that appear next to sentences it has you translate, and making it seem like reminder notifications come from them...

Which is kind of weird since they often say really weird things they want you to translate :p

exedraj

Examples?

Browncat Programs

I don't have any saved, but I think they randomly generate which character gets paired with what sentences, so they'll say things that really need context when you think about them as characters with actual personalities

Team green headquarters is nice

exedraj

There used to be be less queues

I hate the second rugby one so much

I've been trying for half an hour

emanresu A

There's a second rugby?

You mean second marrathon, rgith?

PyGamer0

whats a second rugby?

CMQ: Whats you WPM. (go to some typing website).

mine is around 40

Browncat Programs

04:56

No, the rugby one after you get the book for the little red guy

The second rugby

With the ten blue oni at the start

emanresu A

@BrowncatPrograms Great

I;ve missed a lot

What little red guy?

Browncat Programs

In the lava area

North

I hate the AI for the blue ones so much

Usually running in a zigzag shape works, and occasionally it doesn't, and I don't know why

I'd like to know who designed this because they did an extremely job of making it not fun

The harder ping pong, skateboarding, and swimming ones were stupidly easy, but this is totally impossible

It's taken all the fun out of this

If you make the tiniest mistake anywhere you instantly lose

emanresu A

05:12

Have you tried marathon#2

it pain

Browncat Programs

Not yet IIRC

I'll go try that

emanresu A

It real big

exedraj

me when it only took a few tries to get 1st on marathon

like 3rd or 4th try

pro-tip: dodge

and at the right time too

tjjfvi

@PyGamer0 Around 60 iirc

exedraj

@BrowncatPrograms what's the highest you've gotten on swimming

Browncat Programs

05:19

@emanresuA wdym, 1st place first try

emanresu A

The second one though

Browncat Programs

@exedraj Something like 22k IIRC

@emanresuA yes

exedraj

@BrowncatPrograms only 22k?

h..how?

Browncat Programs

Like I said, 1st place first try on the second one

@exedraj I've never played a rhythm game before

exedraj

@BrowncatPrograms ah I see

emanresu A

05:23

It

s impossitbe

exedraj

just won archery with 6900 points

nice

tjjfvi

How long has that doodle been up? I feel like I first played it like 4 weeks ago

PyGamer0

ok at home we have this radio / tape recorder, my brother recorded the entire rickroll on one of the tapes yesterday.

@tjjfvi since the Olympics?

tjjfvi

Oh, right

Ah, the Google doodle archive suggests they’ve updated it

Great, now I can burn time again :P

PyGamer0

why is :P the most used emoticon in this chatroom :/

exedraj

05:36

I just found the 2nd swimming level

time for suffering!

PyGamer0

@exedraj oh no

exedraj

aw dang there's only 90 notes

compared to the 139 of the first level

PyGamer0

also i always speedrun 7 scrolls

exedraj

welp I've already fc'd it

now for the perfect run

PyGamer0

Any% 7 scrolls

Browncat Programs

05:43

My 22k was on the third swimming one

I think I had 13k on the first

Also my chromebook is a potato and marathon l a g s

PyGamer0

chromebooks == potatoes?

Browncat Programs

Usually, because they're typically cheap and very optimized for one thing (chrome), so anything involving more difficult computation or graphics feels extremely slow

Despite probably being a lot faster than you'd get for a same-cost windows laptop

PyGamer0

@BrowncatPrograms if you remove windows its cheaper

@BrowncatPrograms isnt chromeOS just google's chrome but an OS?

Browncat Programs

That's like saying an airplane is just a jet engine but a vehicle

Chrome OS is primarily focused around Chrome, but it has its own apps, support for android apps, and support for Linux apps

Anything you can do on a linux laptop you can do on a chromebook

Just with a tiny bit og extra hassle in some cases

PyGamer0

05:59

so can it run vscode / whatever app you want?

Browncat Programs

Yep

You can even download Firefox if you want

emanresu A

As long as you have permission

if it's a school-owned chromebook, then no

PyGamer0

CMQ: Are you using Windows 11?

emanresu A

Nay

PyGamer0

@BrowncatPrograms that would be violating ancient rules

Browncat Programs

06:02

Okay climbing 2 sucks as well

I'm not playing this anymore, rugby and climbing just take all the fun out of it

Also it's 1 in the morning

o/

emanresu A

Climbing 2's hard until you figure out the trick

BYe

exedraj

Ninja'd

You somehow managed to predict that I just took a screenshot and that I was going to tell you to sleep

@emanresuA I got 1 note off full perfect on l2

emanresu A

@exedraj If upi really want to...

exedraj

As in I tried for 17 minutes and that's the closest I've gotten

emanresu A

Oh

Ye

it hadr

The other ones have simply followable patterns :P

exedraj

06:08

@emanresuA lvl 2 is easier

emanresu A

Wait, by L2 do you mean the one with the sisters or the one you get to through the palace?

exedraj

The one through the palace

Max score ~38000

emanresu A

Yeah that's L2

Originally I though L3 was L2

Because I got to L3 before L2

I also got to pingpong L3 before L2

PyGamer0

there are 3 levels?

emanresu A

Yes

PyGamer0

I find these endlessly entertaining for some reason, so here are few bonus reasons why rocks float in the air (according to GPT-3, by OpenAI):

- In the planet's gravity, rocks are heavier than air. But since there is no gravity in the air ~because it's not a planet~ the rocks float.
- Some rocks, such as pumice have an air pocket in the centre. The air pocket creates buoyancy, which makes the rock float.
- Rocks float in the air because they are not affected by forces such as gravity, which pull other objects downwards.

can I just say that the team house for Kappa looks awfully similar to the house of another fish

they look kinda similar

emanresu A

Is #2 from undetrtarle?

exedraj

correct

PyGamer0

coincidence?

exedraj

probably

exedraj

07:12

@emanresuA youtu.be/qg1nJ-_VmTA

I forgot to link it earlier lol

also, how to get third level?

emanresu A

07:36

From the kappa place, go left and up through the water until you find an island with a broken red gate.

You'll then get a quest to find three sisters, which when completed will open the fate.

pxeger

08:22

I'm as surprised as you! I didn't think it was possible.

Neil

08:44

oh, you can dodge in the marathon? that makes it way easier!

emanresu A

Yes

pxeger

Just worked out what you were talking about

Google has far too many resources

emanresu A

That's a good thing, right?

pxeger

Well

The fact they basically made 1 minute of an anime for that intro cutscene

emanresu A

They paid some Japanese studio to do it :p

pxeger

08:51

Presumably they did

Neil

ok, so I've done all of the sports at level 1, and some of the side quests, but is there a list of all the features somewhere?

pxeger

But did they need to? Not at all

Also why isn't the leaderboard sorted?

emanresu A

Idk

@Neil Do all the side quests, and all the sports should unlock.

google.com/doodles/doodle-champion-island-games-july-30

They did hire a japanese studio

emanresu A

No, its free

PyGamer0

09:13

HOW

emanresu A

Wdym>

Neil

10:20

@emanresuA ... but I don't know what all the side quests are in the first place

emanresu A

Talk to any NPCs you find. Also, there are hints in the trophy hall.

If it helps, make a list of places you need to go / things you need to get etc
