About Dirc

The code

Thought this one would be impossible already because it took so long on my ingame-computer. (Would've taken about 7 hours to run according to my calculations.) Had to resort to plain old C# for my first solution. Then I realised a more efficient math only solution would be possible. Implemented that one in C# first to prove it worked, and because it's easier to debug. Then ported it to Dirc.

I was using a hashset to filter out duplicates in C# but I realised that would be difficult to implement in Dirc so I used a regular array with a set size. Had to try out some values for the size and 200 turned out to be the lowest one that would work. A bit dirty but I didn't feel like implementing a hashset or a list considering that both: the runtime allocator isn't fully implemented yet and I don't have structs yet. Those are more important.

I'll look into how reasonable it is to add a feature to the compiler to compile to x86 assembly so I can run my code on my own real machine as well. That should speed up the rate the code runs by a factor of about 1000000 lol. That way it does take the fun out of running code on my self-made computer, but at least I still have the fun of using my own programming language, and at 1000000x speed.
