You seem like you are always online. 03:42:20 easy enough these days 03:42:26 what else is there to do, I guess 03:52:52 Do you like GURPS game? 03:53:16 yes 03:54:19 Haven't played it since, like, 2010, but I did enjoy it 03:54:31 No, I lied, 2012 03:57:54 I played the GURPS on Sunday on the computer, and also a few weeks ago also on the computer. I also recorded all of them on the computer I rewrote it to write the story to read it 03:58:16 nice 04:00:26 They are readable on a Fossil wiki at http://zzo38computer.org/gurpsgame/1.ui but you can also download the Hamster archive with the files. If you find any mistake in it, please notify me. 04:01:29 The link I made to the figlet text from before is also from the GURPS game; since there is only one player I can use a direct connection and don't need IRC, and that is what the GM sent; I suppose he used a figlet text. 04:03:50 Train: I think that you should write about your esolang in the esolang wiki 04:04:55 (You can access http://zzo38computer.org/gurpsgame/1.har if you want to download the Hamster archive file. A Hamster archive is a sequence of lumps, where each lump consists of the null-terminated ASCII filename, 32-bit PDP-endian data size, and then the data.) 04:05:37 Why am I not surprised you have a bespoke archive format. 04:06:06 I appreciate the PDP-endian size. 04:06:20 It is amusing, to be sure. 04:06:47 zzo38, I don't know if I should write about my esolang. It needs some tidying up. 04:08:03 I didn't invent it. (If I did, I probably would have used big-endian or small-endian instead of PDP-endian. The format is otherwise good though, and keeping the same format allows better compatibility with other programs using the same format.) 04:09:32 (PDP-endian isn't so bad either, since it is just as easy to work with, so I am not complaining about it.) 04:11:35 Train: What you wrote on sprunge seem like good enough to me 04:12:10 There are a few cases of undefined behaviour. 04:13:11 Ah, yes, such as you don't specify what happen in case of end of file. 04:13:23 It can never reach EOF. 04:13:46 In the case of the "d" command, the input might reach EOF, though. 04:14:21 no, because it only takes 1 byte of input, which is the first byte of input from the input 04:14:50 O, well, you didn't mention that in the document. 04:15:06 (Nor does that make much sense to me.) 04:15:12 Yeah, that's why the documentation is incomplete. 04:15:56 And if the lines are different lengths, the interpreter is just like: 04:15:57 https://i.imgflip.com/36qm8e.png 04:16:19 It doesn't specify the range of values in cells either, although based on what we discussed before it should be unlimited. 04:16:42 Yes. It has to be unlimited to be Turing complete. 04:17:21 And, yes, about the program lines being different lengths; presumably the program is not valid if the lines are of different lengths, although one thing that it could be made to do is to pad them with spaces on the right. 04:17:56 I thought about that, but then it does have some interesting repercussions on the complexity. 04:18:29 Another possibility is just to display an error message. 04:18:37 (and refuse to execute the program) 04:18:49 For example, it can either crash the interpreter or undefined behaviour. 04:19:19 You could also just explicitly specify that it is undefined behaviour if such a program is given. 04:19:39 Perhaps. 04:19:54 I think I'll do the error messages and tidy up the interpreter now. 04:23:17 -!- Train has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 04:27:55 -!- Train has joined. 05:05:06 -!- Train has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 05:39:46 -!- Phantom__Hoover has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 05:45:44 -!- imode has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds). 06:33:21 Now I invented a chess variant, which is: If you en-passan an opponent's pawn, then you may optionally take any piece from off of the board (regardless of colour; you may even take the pawn that was just captured) and put it in the place of the captured pawn. You also must take a queen/knight/rook/bishop from off of the board for promotation; you can't have more than you started with. 06:50:23 -!- tromp has joined. 07:44:03 -!- cpressey has joined. 07:48:59 So I guess what it is, is this: in an applicative setting you can have combinators that operate on combinators to obtain new combinators; in a concatenative setting, you have, um, concatenatees, that operate on states to obtain new states, and which you concatenate together to produce new concatenatees. 07:51:02 If you insist on looking at concatenatees as combinators, each one takes exactly one other combinator, and produces a new combinator, but this has to terminate somewhere, and in the end you still have something that takes states to states instead 07:53:43 And if you say something like "states are combinators too", then that just sort of begs the question of where you draw the boundary between the combinators that are part of "the state" and the combinators that are part of "the program". 07:54:56 -!- Sgeo_ has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 07:55:24 -!- Sgeo_ has joined. 08:00:30 -!- TheLie has joined. 08:11:33 -!- LKoen_ has joined. 08:16:11 -!- LKoen_ has changed nick to LKoen. 08:30:39 Oh dear, joining #proglangdesign now requires "identification with services". 08:35:48 * cpressey is not sure it's worth setting that up just for a channel where most of the content is people trying to prove they have deeper understandings of substructal logics than other people 08:45:38 -!- TheLie has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds). 09:00:29 cpressey: A bunch of channels turned that on temporarily becaue of some spam. 09:02:49 Oh hi shachaf.
