[CODE GOLF] Challenge #1 - ASCII Amogus

Ravage · 2023-11-23T14:50:05+01:00

Ok, guys! I've decided to see if this forum will be liking the idea of me giving you Code Golf challenges every so often! We've got to start somewhere, so......

Binary_Coder

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…

Varrience

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

Ravage

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.

Ravage

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

Varrience

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

Ravage

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

Varrience

Ravage

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

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

Ravage

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

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?

Varrience

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

Varrience

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

Ravage

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.

Varrience

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

Ravage

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.

Varrience

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

Ravage

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.

Varrience

Ravage i fixed up the package a while ago so i can sync projects however i want it's super powerful and i was planning on unveiling it at some point 🤷‍♂️ so now's a good a time as any

Ravage

Varrience Could you show me? I'm curious now.

Varrience

Ravage https://replit.com/@Varrience/firefly#index.js firefly

Ravage

Varrience HA! That would only do it for one project, right? So if I were to use your getKeyValue("a", console.log) script on any other project... it wouldn't work!

Unless I'm wrong, but it's still a no-no.
And why is your username "Jacob Butler"

Varrience

Ravage meh just an alias, should i change it? i mean it's in the user.... and it's not like the account is gonna last long either not like i plan on keeping it
