[00:47] MSG: Remote host closed the connection [01:05] hmm.. i just created an experimental piece of code [01:05] and its accordingly 3am too [01:51] ..too tired to think this one out [07:25] Part: NorthStar left #corewars [08:11] Has anyone tested Skybuck's mars yet? [10:50] Join: SOLDIER83 joined #corewars [10:51] Part: SOLDIER83 left #corewars [12:00] I think I've fixed the IE5/6 problem on the underload page now [12:02] MSG: Read error: Operation timed out [14:33] Join: ehird joined #corewars [15:19] Hmmm... [15:22] Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [15:23] Hi Ehird [15:23] hi [15:24] What's new? [15:25] Nothing :-) [15:53] http://esolangs.org/wiki/V looks interesting [15:54] * ehird looks [15:54] pretty brainfuck-esque. [15:55] nice, though [16:03] I'm going through the language list one by one, starting at the end [16:07] heh [17:17] Join: NorthStar joined #corewars [17:20] Hi NorthStar [17:41] Hmmm... someone's taken my blogpost from yesterday and translated it to Spanish :-) [18:24] Join: Fizmo joined #corewars [18:24] hi hi [18:41] Hi Christian [18:41] hi John [18:41] how's it going? [18:42] Fine thanks, how's it going for you? [18:42] also fine [18:42] :-) [18:43] did you tried Skybucks program? [18:43] Not yet, I've had a busy day [19:06] Join: Will joined #corewars [19:07] Hi Will :-) [19:08] hi Will [19:13] howdy folks [19:13] thanks for the post john [19:13] how are things christian? [19:16] No problem :-) [19:21] * Metcalf has been playing anagol this week http://golf.shinh.org [19:22] There's about 200 programming problems [19:22] cool I didn't know about this site [19:24] I've mostly been solving them in Brainf*** / Forth / Z80 asm / 8086 asm [19:24] :-) [19:24] so which problems? [19:26] brain* is compiled? [19:26] only the times are really actually fast :-) [19:27] yay anagolf! [19:28] I think it's compiled to bytecode [19:28] Nope. [19:28] It's just a crappy C interpreter that handles EOF wrongly and lets you overflow the array... [19:28] And lets you read your own program source. [19:29] Which replaced a less-crappy Ruby interpreter which also let you read your own program source. [19:36] hmm looks fun [19:37] I've spent far too much time on it! [19:40] it's rather hard. [19:40] some of the people there are crazy. [19:40] :P [19:42] I have a few 1st place submissions, without cheating [19:43] I wish it supported Redcode or Underload :-) [19:46] @Wil: fine fine, thanlsl [19:46] thanks [19:55] well we'd feel right at home on codegolf then [19:55] codegolf? [19:55] codegolf.com is rubbish [19:55] it's the corporate drone version of anagolf :P [19:56] Someone submitted codegolf.com to programming reddit :-( [19:56] One day they will join the anarchic revolution. Or... something. [19:58] Fizmo: http://golf.shinh.org - pick a problem and write the smallest possible program to solve it [19:58] oh [19:58] only the top of the anagolf site says to go look at it [19:58] at the leader over at codegolf happens to be called shinh [19:58] yes, the membership overlaps a bit [19:58] but codegolf is inactive and less fun [19:58] so I didn't realise there was any distain [19:59] hmm [19:59] not very exciting in my opinion [19:59] well, there isn't, it's just not as fun IMO :-) [19:59] looking at the entries puts me off a bit [19:59] why? [20:00] I like competition, but more like one-on-one battles, ranking, etc. [20:01] like real sports [20:01] that's what keep me coming back to cw every time [20:02] Then you might like Brainf*** Joust which Roy and I have been playing this week [20:02] Brainf*** should be a language with half the instructions censored [20:11] I've been meaning to go through all the programming games at http://aiforge.net/game-links.htm [20:15] cw is enough for me :-P [20:16] I installed optimax on my 2nd pc and did some initial optimizations [20:16] There's about 200 corewar links there ;-) [20:16] there are some ideas I didn't follow up in depth [20:17] so I will in future [20:17] ok, movie time with gf now [20:17] wish you nice evening [20:17] * Fizmo waves [20:17] * Metcalf waves [20:18] MSG: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.6/2009011913] [20:21] Has anyone tried any other programming games? [20:21] Sure, I've played: [20:22] fukyorbrane (another BF corewars, but more like corewars), golf, bf joust and some others [20:22] So, um, the only new one from that is the first :-) [20:25] * Will waves too late [20:40] * Metcalf starts checking through 10 years worth of backup CDs :-/ [21:26] * Will waves [21:26] MSG: Quit: leaving
