Guys are answers in this format allowed, usually they need to be a full function, no?

If I do nothing it goes to the most upvoted right?

https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/150113/ascii-hexagon-chain

What do I do if there is no hexagony answer?

codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/150262/… Is that winning condition allowed?
LiefdeWen
Aug 22, 2017 14:17
@ASCII-only I don't quite understand what you mean
LiefdeWen

With regards to this, if his winning criterion would be the "the program with the smallest space complexity wins", would that be fine?
LiefdeWen
Aug 22, 2017 13:26
If he has these many test cases ready I don't think so
LiefdeWen
Aug 22, 2017 13:25
I saw, lets hope OP stays around
LiefdeWen
Aug 22, 2017 13:23
Then we are gonna be left to decide what OP wanted, and then when we argue, who resolves it?
LiefdeWen
Aug 22, 2017 13:19
If it's on-site like in this case?
LiefdeWen
Aug 22, 2017 13:00
What is the policy on stealing a challenge? Like for example, this OP doesn't seem to fully grasp the aim of this site and in the case he never returns I would like to see it become a properly structured challenge. What do?
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:28
not even the beginning, but like in 2013/4
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:27
now their content pipeline tool can compile the .fx files for you
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:27
in the beginning they had this crappy tool to compile .fx files, which XNA's content pipeline just did automatically
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:20
they do now though
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:19
MonoGame is decent but when I used it they didn't have the level of shader support that XNA used to have and it put me off
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:17
Technically I started with C and did the shitty text games in that for about 2 weeks and then I moved to C# and once I kinda understood it I did XNA

@Mayube It was the first one I learned armed with no internet, a C# book and VS 2008, so it will always be my fave
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:09
Maybe
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:07
not for codegolfing
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:06
I feel that C# gets so little love that spreading it among a few answers isn't right.
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:04
@TheLethalCoder Like I said, when I saw your comment I just gave up
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 11:01
@Mayube If I had VS opened already I could've won maybe
LiefdeWen
Aug 17, 2017 10:35
@TheLethalCoder I was opening VS to answer this, then I saw you commented, then I closed VS cause I know you would beat me to it :)

no its bitwise or

I dont actually think people were mean to the OP of that question but if they succeeded in closing his question he would be very demoralized. There are things we can do to stop that.
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:28
Yeah I think we should start a meta-post of steps to follow before adding a close vote on low rep users
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:27
@ASCII-only Yeah after posting the challenge I asked on here and people said linking here might help
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:26
@Fatalize thanks for helping
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:26
Yeah maybe someone should write one
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:25
I am guilty of not liking the sandbox either, posted once, received 0 comments and 0 upvotes and an okay reception when I posted it on the main site.
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:23
I think pushing a formal process like the sandbox will also scare away a good part of new users.
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:23
I feel that creating this barrier of entry to question asking on this SE doesn't help anyone. And answering questions gets you a much better response.
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:21
Cause we have a much more standardized question format than other SE's maybe if they don't give input formats we ask them if standard IO is fine with a link to its meta post and if they don't have edge cases then some more regular community users add them like totalhuman did on that question
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:17
Okay, do we have a meta post on PPCG about it ?( I have experienced this on other SE sites)
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:16
Isn't it a bit harsh to get that close to closing a newcomers question, who's question, after a few edits became a good question?
LiefdeWen
Aug 16, 2017 09:10
Why did this almost get closed?
LiefdeWen
Aug 3, 2017 15:29
@DJMcMayhem Thank you :)

If I have written a language and I have the code in a public repo and an online interpreter can I start answering challenges in it?
LiefdeWen
Aug 2, 2017 13:52
Leaky nun I don't know Jelly at all, could you maybe give a rough explanation of your answer here
LiefdeWen
Aug 2, 2017 12:48
@StepHen Okay will go think about it, thanks
LiefdeWen
Aug 2, 2017 12:46
hmm, so the better approach would be to write 20 languages?

High rep person answered mine and I accepted his answer before the first close vote came in
LiefdeWen
Dec 15, 2017 13:03
asking because if I can understand where the line is drawn maybe I can post another puzzle with less risk of it getting closed

https://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/53328/gambling-problem

My question (2nd one) was closed because it is essentially a math problem), but the other one is almost the exact same principal to solve. why does one get closed and one not?
