I mean since this is high level JS there's not much i can do to minimize stuff here unfortunately gamelab environment takes the L here since i can't use the pollyfills CDO is missing either but oh well

// 79
throw a="\n0011110\n0010010\n"+"1110111\n1010101\n1010111\n1110010\n0011110\n0010010"+a;
// 79 +1 up ack (cleaner no weird parsing)
throw(0x9e92f7d5d7f2.toString(2)+40594..toString(2)).replace(/.(.{7})/g,"\n$1")

unlike acks method you just need to add another start bit in the front so it'll be forced to fomat it correctly since no prototype of pad exists (cuz idfkw) this is the least amount of effort to force it to be rendered though if you do plan on having more challenges like this you should offer different rewards for different categories (even if it's just between enviroments) because some have a lot more features that lead to running the code in only 1 enviroment
though i support Letti winning Ain't no way somebody is getting lower than 1 function call

in case your wondering why throw? it gives a console message and is several times shorter than console.log

Also fun fact CDO can handle basically any other format other than binary it hates it any the only way to deal with it properly is through strings and or parsing methods

    Varrience I tried something similar, by converting a hex code to binary, but for some weird reason it would cut off leading zeroes (even though it’s a string). Also, was everyone else looking at the same Stack Overflow page as me? Cause I used the same .replace(/(.{7})/g,"$1\n") code…

        Letti42 Ok, ok, I'm seeing some weird things here.
        First off, @Letti42 ... very creative of you, but it has to be printed out to the console. Says it in the rules. 100 coins for epic creativity, though!
        Second, @Varrience , what do you mean by "different categories?" Simply GameLab and AppLab?

        Little hint to @Varrience , @Binary_Coder , @ackvonhuelio : didn't I precise that you had to make a script which, "when entered into the CDO console," would give the result?

        If nobody can beat my 63, no prize for you! Too bad it's now at 62 characters!

        EDIT: since you seem to be the only people interested in this, do answer below if you think that we should end it up now; I'll do that once everybody says they're done.

            Binary_Coder it zero's out because the max number it can handle it 253 which is longer than an int but shorter than a long very weird right (it also doesn't support big ints so don't even try)! so i split the number as you can see it takes the first 6 as hex since it's shorter but it's actually longer to write 40,594 in hex so i opted for that instead.... also didn't know that was a stack topic that's the shortest way possible to match what i wanted to match

            Ravage and if we get to use anything to generate output rather than actual code char count I'll try a different approach

                  Varrience It's stated in the beginning that it's only code entered in the console...

                      Ravage well then i just got 34 chars if were allowed full use of the ascii table

                          Varrience Don't really understand what you mean - please put the code here? Remember, nobody can steal it.

                              Ravage

                              console.log(` ___ 
 |__\\
/|  |
\\|  |
 ^  ^`)

                              idk what font it'll render in it works fine in monospace

                                  Varrience Uh... entering that into the console gives me an error... Not that it looks like it's going to do anything... Try putting it between tick marks: ``

                                      Ravage there lmao hard to post when like 10% of the parts have to be escaped

                                        Varrience You goofy little goober... do you want me to give you coins for that, lol

                                        In all seriousness, I asked for the code to output what I wrote up top...

                                        EDIT: wait lol it gives me an error in the console, better luck next time

                                        Also, did you even read the post up on the top, or did you just skim over the title?

                                            Ravage in any console...? including applab or gamelab or both or can i bump up and use polyfills that actually exist in es5? read and got confused.... then the additional statement made it more confusing

                                                Varrience I said in the top, it has to be in a GameLab or AppLab console. Which means, ES5, and only the CDO approved methods. No external JS, I see you coming, you...

                                                In short: No polyfills.

                                                    Ravage so... if i were say to perhaps fill in those missing pollyfills it wouldn't count hypothetically speaking oh well that sucks

                                                        Varrience Depends on how you plan to "fill them in"
                                                        If the "filling in" is part of your console code and counts as chars, then sure

                                                        EDIT: just show me what you mean by giving me your code, you can make it a private discussion if you want, but I can't really understand what you're trying to do just by this sort of communication.

                                                            Ravage what about forging storage requests? that is a CDO method.... and it's nothing ominous at all totally not planning on using a storage API i made to forge a key or something lmao

                                                                Varrience If I pay you 100 coins will you stop pestering me? Nah, jk, I'm loving this so far.

                                                                OF COURSE YOU CAN'T DO THAT, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING

                                                                In all seriousness * ahum *, if you decided to do that, it would not break the rules of the contest, but it would definitely ruin the point of it. I already have prepared some other neat challenges, all of which could be easily destroyed by startWebRequest() or whatever godforsaken thing you're thinking of using. Thus, in the spirit of keeping at least some fun, that's a big no-no. And we all do seem to be having fun with this... why disturb that!

                                                                Do I sound like Grandpa yet? I think I'm sounding like Grandpa now.
