[CODE GOLF] Challenge #1 - ASCII Amogus

Ravage

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...

Code Golf Challenge 1 - ASCII Amogus

Since this is the first time we're doing this, let me explain what I mean by Code Golf (read this even if you know what it is). You are given a challenge, and it is your job to execute it with the least possible amount of characters. Since this is a CDO forum, it will have to be done exclusively in CDO (GameLab or AppLab, so only ES5 and CDO approved methods).

The challenge? Have a line of code which will, when entered in the CDO console, result in the following ASCII amogus with the newlines (use your imagination, and the 1's are bolded so you can better see them, they don't need to be bolded in the console output):

0011110
0010010
1110111
1010101
1010111
1110010
0011110
0010010

I managed to do it in 63 characters! Have fun! Winner gets 100 coins, and deadline is in 5 days!

I know that the only people who are going to try this are @Varrience , @Binary_Coder , and maybe @Letti42 , but eh... please give it a try!

If you have a good answer, reply below, making sure to give your code and the character count! Any people who COPY will be eliminated!

Binary_Coder

Ravage Well, I came up with what is technically a solution… but it’s just taking the binary code and splitting it with new lines (89 characters total).

I do think this is a neat idea though. I'll make a custom badge for whoever wins the most Code Golf challenges!

alr so like binary coder pointed out it is just better in most cases for dumb people like me to just print in the string you gave

however i have a decent amount of coins and I just wanted to obfuscate it as much as possible so here is my hundred something characters code
console.log(("00"+(102250447070918).toString(3)+(232673281708485).toString(3)).replace(/2/g,'\n').replace(/0/g,'⬜').replace(/1/g,'⬛'));
the way this works is it converts the number into base 3, with 2s being line breaks and ones and zeros turning into black and white boxes to form the image
i had to put two decimal strings because cdo doesn't give enough accuracy with the base 3 translation

you can change the decimal numbers to form whatever image you want

Letti42

I think I won this

22 characters! - maybe with a bit of cheating, of course...

Letti42

Letti42 Update: 11 characters now!! :)

ackvonhuelio

Letti42
i mean... by this logic in that you can rely on the already existing parts of the program you might as well just make a function called e and submit e() for a total character count of 3
or better yet make a variable named e and just put e in the console for a total of 1

but ngl i think the idea is that you could be able to execute this in any console

Letti42

But I really like this idea. It's fun to have some challenges to think about.

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.

Varrience

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

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

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
