Okay, going steady... Challenge #3 - Caesar Cipher Translator This is pretty self-explanatory, but there are going to be A LOT of different in...

Varrience

you just don't want to make a cipher don't you, i hate making ciphers

Ravage

Varrience What does that even mean?
No, I'll explain in a private post why I'm not doing it.

Varrience

Ravage well whatever the reason I'm sure it's fine, though I do want a little clarity if .map is fair game or it has to be anything supported by inline console

Ravage

Varrience Supported by the console, buddy!
No map! Would be too easy, innit...

Binary_Coder

Edit: new function uses 182 characters, matching @ackvonhuelio’s response.
function c(s,k){t="";for(i=0;i<s.length;i++){n=s.charCodeAt(i);x=n;if((n>64&&n<91)||(n>96&&n<123)){x+=k;x-=26*(n<91&&x>90);x-=26*(n<123&&x>122);}t+=String.fromCharCode(x);}throw t;}

Also, I made a leaderboard to keep track of who’s winning.

Ravage

Binary_Coder A few things about the leaderboard (found out how to get to it now). First off, you should NEVER put your data in online data tables if only the owner is meant to change them. For example, I changed your pfp to Quandale Dingle. Lists work just as fine! In fact, I would put the names in a dictionary for MUCH easier access, rather than using indices: {Varrience:{wins:2,pfp:link}, Letti:{etc}} Also... I participate from time to time as well! And finally, you should (once you take off online data) DEFINITELY publish this! It could motivate people to come onto the forum!

182
cut some corners, ugliest code ever

again if ur competing dont look i dont want people stealing my stuff

ackvonhuelio

uhhh made another one at 152

dunno if it counts tho cuz i used some ideas from @Binary_Coder
idk, can you copy concepts?

Varrience

ackvonhuelio well I'd say it's fine so long as it isn't the exact same solution mine is a little different though per restrictions of CDO console.... it's not like we have much to work with here so you can't blame us for using similar strategy's since there basically the only way to get lower

Ravage

ackvonhuelio You are encouraged to build upon others'!
And Varrience , you have to give us your code, you know... along with count...

Varrience

Ravage not yet.... It's getting there though

ackvonhuelio

Ravage
LMFAO

Ravage

ackvonhuelio What, Quandale Dingle? Did I do something wrong?

Varrience

well here's my solution gave up on making it better so it'll do

// 135 ok this one was way too close for comfort
function f(r,o){for(i in n="",r)n+=(c=r.charCodeAt(i))>64&&c<91||c>96&&c<123?String.fromCharCode((c-(96&c)+o)%26+(96&c)):r[i];return n}

Ravage

Varrience The exact answer I had LMAO (Zedong)

Ravage

Weird, @Binary_Coder didn't respond to my comment - maybe mentioning? You should really try to change it, you can do very nasty stuff with it as it is. Also, I participate in challenges sometimes, and it would be a very good idea to publish the leaderboard (with a link to the forum) so others are motivated to join!...

Binary_Coder

Ravage I saw it, just didn't get a chance to respond. Originally I was going to use a dictionary, but changed to data tables so I could edit it on mobile if necessary. And I wasn't sure people would like the idea of a leaderboard so I didn't put a lot of work into it.

Here's the new leaderboard. I'll update it and publish it every time a challenge ends.
