Well how much damage does it do? 5d10 Piercing seems reasonable so -- oh wait wrong SE

@Alexander I don't write the rules, just interpret them. Unfortunately that's the only fair way to score golf: include all code required to make your submission work. And one of the two reasons I don't use Swift is that I don't like its package system (no namespacing, bring in all of a library's types). (The other is that I use Windows.) Anyway, isn't it more Swifty to use non-NS types when possible anyway?

@Alexander I've used Swift. Swift's import Foundation is basically import stdlib::* in other languages. And if you want to use a Foundation type unfortunately you have to bring it into the namespace somehow...

@Alexander If you refer to a type by name, there is no question whether you need to count the import. That's just the "practical" language tax :P

@Alexander (see above I forgot to tag you) and also, I've seen multiple answers (from higher rep users) even after this that don't do so. Even more reason to bring it up again.

Hey, I asked this because I primarily like golfing in Java/Kotlin. I may rephrase this question later on and try and present it in light of more recent consensus, and see if I can get a better discussion with points on both sides. (And this question was closed as a dupe of something else for some reason I still don't quite understand?) I understand the issue better now as well. But for now, type your lambdas.

I'm considering the two comments as an effective consensus. I still don't see this as a dupe (I'm not submitting a built-in, just using the features of a List), but I'll leave that to the higher-reps.

Can I "borrow" these rules to implement in my own chat bot? Kappa

For the free-standing issue: it might help to add the required keywords to this question once they're confirmed in the others (I'm not in meta)

Also I'd suggest deleting the comments into this chat to clean up the page.

I sent in the edit so look at it when you've got the time

Seeya

Yep

format plz

code

wat

nope

I would've made the move to chat sooner if I could've (mobile access yay)

@Solver I'll add a clarification edit suggestion which you can accept or clarify

@Solver you've got the authority to roll back the change. I'd suggest further clarifying what crossover cases we have to deal with. (E.g. can we assume we'll have something like >^> in all crossover cases versus >^v a legal crossover.`

@NotthatCharles well, if your added case stands my solution fails. Oh well. And I'm assuming the crossover has >x> anyway - goes the same direction after the crossover - so this is a mess. Oh well I guess.

Does the input have to be a single String or can we take a String[]? Is each line of the input padded to be the same length or do we have to deal with irregular line length?

@SpeedyNinja test cases 2 and 4 both have starts not at (0,0), and test case 0 (snakes look like) doesn't start OR end at (0,0).

(that was a test)

Is chatgoat really dead?

You know it's Java when you're happy to be less than 1.63 orders of magnitude over the smallest
