@Pavel the lesson I've learned that it's a bad idea to overcomplicate your data structures. make them as flat as possible...

Axtell's font is a bit big

a version of the game arras.io

glitch.com/edit/#!/arras-template

problem is, the game competiion is outside of ppcg

who would be interested in participating in a bot competion along the lines of el'einda starman's spacewar, but for a much more complex game, and more competitors?

I am looking for an internet chatroom on computer science/software engineering education. I am part of a community that has this project that accidentally serves as a way to educate people about computer science, I want to promote that end, and I also want people to consult with.

Idea: "fastest brainfuck JIT"

@dzaima code golf programs should terminate quickly; you would just terminate if it doesn't terminate before the original program terminates

it did pioneer a lot of what we think of today as normal programming languages

C++: A modern programming language scarred deeply by its past

and yet another is "Insert Cheesecake"

@DJMcMayhem Another button is "Where am I?"

some of Haskell's extensions are the literal cutting edge of programming language research

Indeed

it's basically a TI-84 with 3 billion buttons

Mathematica: a glorified graphing calculator

Haskell: A next generation non-strict programming language

JavaScript: The only billion-dollar programming language that is not next-generation... At all.

or instead of 8, a random number from [1..programlengthinbits], chosen with a decaying distribution

@JohnDvorak Hmm, instead of modifying a single byte, modify 8 random bits

Strict langs like Python get high radiation scores

Programming language like Jelly with very few errors get low radiation scores

*Do not lead to an error

RadiationScore(x):
Counter = 1
For each byte:
   num = 0
   modify this byte, over 0..255 that lead to an error:
      add 1 to num.
   (num is at least one, because one of the modifications is the same byte)
   Counter *= num
Return Counter

@JohnDvorak yes, this is supposed to discourage the use of golfing languages simply because they're physically smaller

errors if mutated => <100%, so more benefit to languages like Haskell and Python which have stirct syntax

no errors at all => 100%

"If it runs without errors:" ?

hmmm, what if it was "If the mutated program has a compile error or runtime error:" instead?

I see what you're saying, I think I defined Mutate incorrectly

@El'endiaStarman I don't see what you're saying.

delete p, and you get a compile error, delete r, same thing, delete i, same thing ...

Haskell: main=print[1..]

This gives languages and submissions that are naturally less dense per byte an advantage. It rewards conciseness.

Mutate(Program) is defined as following:
MutationCoverage = 0
Repeat 100,000 times with non-deterministic seed:
   MutatedProgram = Program
   Random index P = random integer between 0 and the length of the program minus one
   Flip a coin, if tails:
      B = random number from 0 to 255
      In MutatedProgram, Insert a byte B after random index P
   Else:
      In MutatedProgram, Delete the byte at random index P
   Run the mutated program against the test suite
   If the mutated program fails the test suite OR the mutated program has a compile error or a runtime error in any test:

As an IntelliJ user, when I'm on the last or first character of a I'm used to moving across lines with the with the left-right arrow keys. Is there a reason Vim doesn't let me do that?

I read one of ViSE's top answers, then cross-referenced with google and found out it was incorrect: OSX does have a secondary keyboard

I wish there was just a "vimtutor the sequel" out there

I'm confused. I've tried putting the folder in autoload, bundle, and pack. Can I install this plugin github.com/jaxbot/semantic-highlight.vim with only Vim's native plugin manager?

I'm running mac, I wonder if MSVS runs on Wine

Is VsVim real vim or just an emu?

@ngn I mean the excellent code diagnostics that come built-in to Windows' Visual Studio for C++. I want those diagnostics in Vim.

I am so confused. How do I get proper Microsoft Intellisense for C++ inside Vim?

I'm using a GUI version of vim that let's me change the color of things from within Vim.

@DJMcMayhem

I'm using a color scheme, and I'm trying to make comments look completely different from code. So, I successfully made the comments have a black background and a white foreground. Now, I want to make the cursor look a different color when it's on a comment. How do I do that?

Is there a TIO API?
