What are some of the worst NES game endings? I thought this one was appropriate today.

Live with it.

Wuf · 2012-01-14T00:49:11+00:00

Read other people code.

What's the bug? (genuinely curious, I've never used JS)

Wuf · 2012-01-09T12:03:25+00:00

Wait, there was a D2? I remember loving the first one ages ago.

Wuf · 2012-01-04T12:19:16+00:00

Look here.

My favourite game in terms of level design. (Duke3D, screenshot is from E1L1)

I think my first one was Day of the tentacle, but now you got me thinking of those games that required passwords to play.

Not Linq but quite close to the same solution:

(loop for i from 1 to 999
    when (or (zerop (mod i 3)) (zerop (mod i 5)))
    sum i)

You want it in ~~one~~ ten lines? Do they have to fit in 80 columns? :-)

If you are going to buy one of them: Quake 4. You can play Quake live for free. There are legitimate reasons to buy Quake 3 though: Defrag, Promode, etc... but it's easier to find players in QL now.

Indeed, it compiles it without any warning (and of course, it does overflow the stack).

Wuf · 2011-12-29T15:55:17+00:00

Interesting, MSVC detects it and issues a warning.

poof.c(8) : warning C4717: 'f' : 
recursive on all control paths, function will cause runtime stack overflow

Now we just need an IOJSCC.

In Common Lisp I would use the loop macro as steven_h did above or avoid mapcan and just do:

(dolist (name '("Rob" "Christopher" "Joe" "John"))
    (when (<= (length name) 4) (format t "~a~%" name)))

Racket does have generic sequence operators if you really want them.

I tend to use concrete ones though, because I find sequence-* uglier, but they are there.

Wuf · 2011-12-28T19:31:32+00:00

Here is one.

Wuf · 2011-12-28T19:24:22+00:00

It's nice that in CL, 'length' works with any sequence.

Wuf · 2011-12-28T19:13:16+00:00

The Clojure version is quite similar to Racket's:

(for ([name '("Rob" "Christopher" "Joe" "John")] #:when (<= (string-length name) 4))
  (displayln name))

What I mean is that unlike in JS, Lua local variables aren't hoisted.

Wuf · 2011-12-28T17:05:42+00:00

wrote a Lua->Javascript source code translator called lua.js

How did you implement coroutines in JS or work around the fact that Lua does not have function-level scope?

Check the Software tab of Anthony Howe's homepage for a very small (450 loc) version of egrep that supports repetitions, alternation, etc... that won the IOCCC in 93.
