I solved Semantle #61 in 14 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 4.33. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #11. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 86.44 (999/1000). semantle.novalis.org
@AidenChow It's not a stupid question at all--in fact, there doesn't seem to be a Swap builtin. I think you have to use the Roll builtin, which I've never used before and looks intimidating. You can probably simulate Swap by pushing two specific numbers and executing Roll, but I'm not sure from reading the description exactly which two numbers those should be.
also anyone know why this ascii piet code prints out two random question marks out of nowhere using dloscs tio link, but the exact same code on npiet doesnt print out those two question marks tt qqi eeuL ttliamtqimqqijsqsfe U t ii qq fabS
@allxy A golfier encoding is definitely possible; I chose the encoding I did because I wanted one character per codel (which I achieved, but also inadvertently added a way to leave black codels at the ends of lines out of the encoding, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
@AidenChow Pop n, pop m, grab the next m values on the stack, and rotate it n times. So if you pushed 1..5 and then push 3, push 1, then roll, what you get is: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] -> [1, 2, [3, 4, 5]] -> [1, 2, [5, 3, 4]] -> [1, 2, 5, 3, 4]
my shift tac toe challenge a while back: codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/208944/… was a flop, but do u guys think that a koth challenge for the tic tac toe variant would be interesting (or would it just be a solved game with answers doing nearly identical stuff)?
It's 2050, and people have decided to write numbers in a new way. They want less to memorize, and number to be able to be written quicker.
For every place value(ones, tens, hundreds, etc.) the number is written with the number in that place, a hyphen, and the place value name. "zero" and it's pla...

What are some general tips for golfing in Piet?

I certainly am not good at piet, but im currently having fun trying to write my own hello world program
I'm most of the way through "hello", but I have realized that I'm pushing things in the wrong order for a stack, so I'll have to reverse the stack somehow or re-organize this all
@AidenChow Pop n, pop m, grab the next m values on the stack, and rotate it n times. So if you pushed 1..5 and then push 3, push 1, then roll, what you get is: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] -> [1, 2, [3, 4, 5]] -> [1, 2, [5, 3, 4]] -> [1, 2, 5, 3, 4]
maybe u can rotate the entire stack in such a way to reverse it??
yeah, rn I'm actually trying to print each char at a time instead of pushing the whole thing and then printing it, although now I dont think i understand where the pointer starts
I solved Semantle #61 in 39 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 9.34. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #2. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 21.01. https://semantle.novalis.org/ bruh second guess was 976
Desmos, 29 bytes. Returns 0 if all items are unique, some positive integer otherwise: f(l)=l.length-l.unique.length 35 bytes to return 0 and 1 instead: f(l)=sign(l.length-l.unique.length)
@des54321 well there are a bunch of other tools in dangermouse.net/esoteric/piet/tools.html and on the piet esolangs page, maybe u can find a more suitable tool for u
my hello world piet program is about half working, but im running out of space, its also after 1 am in my time zone, so i think im getting to bed and ill look at this more tomorrow
oh yeah it just creates gibberish, but it pushes just about all the correct values onto the stack
and then i get up into that tiny area with all the different colors and i have to somehow push the last value (72), and print out all the characters, and then terminate the program
also now that im properly looking at some of that i dont understand what its doing anymore
Before anyone asks this question I'd like to get it out of the way:
If I go to the moderators tab I don't see Doorknob any more:
He used to be a moderator here, but now he's not. What happened?
AYYYYYYYYYYY I solved Semantle #61 in 19 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 41.95 (739/1000).My penultimate guess had a similarity of 86.44 (999/1000). https://semantle.novalis.org/
@WheatWizard I mean, if you consider foldr as deconstructing a Foldable and reconstructing it as something else, then it makes sense that foldr (:) [] deconstructs a Foldable and reconstructs it as a list. Then by inserting a function before (:) you can map the items of the Foldable in between deconstruction and reconstruction
Programming in haskell is (IMO) more similar to programming in golfing languages or APL/J/K than programming in conventional c-like languages, because you're combining builtins to fulful a purpose instead of using loops and mutable arrays or whatever
@SegFaultPlus4 Lists in Haskell are not evaluated immediately. For example, you can have the list [1..] which is all positive integers; clearly, not all the integers are evaluated, but you can still operate on the list like take 10 [1..]
@SegFaultPlus4 The reason this can't be both append and prepend is that if it were the statement [[]]:[] would be ambiguous. It could be "prepend [[]] to []" which would give [[[]]] or "append [] to [[]]" which would give [[],[]].
