Beginners Brevity Contest: BUZZ

[Emery]

Is that '101' or 'lol'?

[Alvaro]

103. Getting there...

[Darryl]

Can our entries rely on the fact that the framework only goes up to 100?

no, i only use 100 for quick test, the final goes to million

[Corsix]

I've got to 283250 with errors and getting bored

if you pipe your output to a file, it finishes relatively quick

it produces a 25 meg file but unlike your file it opens easily because all 25 meg is not on 1 line

Why would you want to output all the expected behaviour anyway?
Surely you'll just need to see whenever something unexpected happens...

It's a mental thing, I was simulating the game, but you are right I really should only output the mistakes.

edit: it does provide proof for others verify that the other entries are correct and that the framework isn't letting wrong answers through

Yee-haa:

corsix.h 101

I have completely rearranged my code again, its 155 tokens now and there is no include any more. But I cant think of a better algorithm that would save more than 50 tokens.
Im really excited to see the other codes.
I hope at least I can find something in the last 10 days.

So where is Togra, Gamma? I made this one simple as to not take up too much time so they could enter.

I'm right here! The idea is simple indeed. I have seen this before in the dutch programming championship. Slightly different.

The problem is that is is trivial (for me at least) to make a correct program; it's the "token nibbling" that consumes load of time. With such contest, I go to bed with pencil and paper (no laptop allowed in the bed room!). Can't sleep for a few hours while it only yields potentially great ideas to have a very interesting program (unreadable) that will consume probably 1 or 2 more tokens then the original.

Well, you get my drift by now. (I'm still working on the card game by the way.)

Again, I want to enter. Unfortunately, it wasn't until today that I knew about this contest (thanks for the pointer Togra!). Costs me 11 days... only 10 left.



Is there a messanger service when new threads are made in a category?

Is there a messanger service when new threads are made in a category?

Watch this topic for replies? Or that's for a new post in a thread.

Btw, Couldn't we make some kind of RSS-feed with the lastets posts or something?

[coolian]

Safari, I had brought that up a few months ago (RSS feeds, that is) but Wizard replied that that wasn't needed.

I was aiming at receiving an e-mail whenever a new topic (that is the name I was looking for) is created in the section 'contest'.

(I'm not a regular visitor of any site, but I want to compete in these lovely contests (if time allows me to). Usually, Togra is my messenger service . Otherwise, I have to script something, like 'wget cpp-forum; diff output old_output; if change mail gamma subject "new contest on cpp?"'.)

Ooor you could create a new thread in the contest section, press "Watch this topic for replies" and I bet soeone will bump the thread up whenever a new contest comes along

That's a nice quick fix! I like it! Good thinking.

[Togra]

Well, I just started with this contest ! Don't worry, first working and properly tested version is 160 tokens. This time, I'll have at least something to submit.
