00:00:03 I just keep my creative skills fresh in case I can't get a programming job. 00:00:53 I think my burning need is exploring 'means of expression' and programming is the niftiest way to do that so far. 00:01:30 As I've said before: "Programming is the Magic Executable Fridge Poetry, it is machines made of thought, fueled by ideas." 00:04:11 Do you guys know of a tiled programming language? I've been wondering how a hexagonal language would work. 00:04:16 I guess Piet counts. 00:14:15 hm, Befunge uses square tiles in some sense 00:16:18 in an hexagonal language PC would move in six directions, I guess 00:17:27 I was thinking more about a source and sink setup. 00:24:35 -!- jimbo000 has joined. 00:26:10 -!- jimbo000 has quit (Client Quit). 00:26:49 -!- jimbo000 has joined. 00:29:18 BigZaphod: your Life program is traversing the whole area and counting the neighbours of each cell, right? 00:29:36 yeah 00:30:25 hm, JS makes it difficult to take advantage of an usual optimization 00:30:45 it consists in having an array of counts, initially all zero in each iteration 00:31:18 instead of counting the neighbours for each cell, you look for active cells and add 1 to each of the neighbours 00:33:30 the analysis of the number of neighbours is then performed at the final stage 00:33:59 hmmmm.. 00:34:02 interesting. 00:34:35 I'll have to try that. 00:34:54 with javascript YMMV; with C it's very likely to get a speedup 00:35:10 js arrays seem pretty slow, so it is hard to say. 00:43:47 -!- kipple_ has joined. 00:43:47 -!- kipple__ has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)). 00:50:16 forgot to say: actually, the speedup only applies to situations with low concentration of alive cells 01:20:23 -!- BigZaphod has quit. 01:58:21 -!- calamari has joined. 01:58:35 -!- BigZaphod has joined. 02:06:54 -!- kipple_ has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)). 03:02:30 comments/suggestions: http://z3.ca/~lament/elise.mp3 03:04:30 -!- calamari has quit ("Leaving"). 03:18:35 -!- jimbo000 has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 04:16:06 -!- ChanServ has quit (Shutting Down). 04:18:57 -!- ChanServ has joined. 04:18:57 -!- irc.freenode.net has set channel mode: +o ChanServ. 04:37:38 -!- puzzlet has joined. 05:37:46 -!- calamari has joined. 05:54:22 -!- puzzlet has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)). 07:30:45 -!- calamari has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 07:47:00 -!- yrz\werk has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 07:59:59 -!- clog has quit (ended). 08:00:00 -!- clog has joined. 08:09:42 -!- yrz\werk has joined. 08:26:24 -!- yrz\werk has quit ("Reconnecting"). 08:27:01 -!- yrz\werk has joined. 08:49:18 -!- ZeroOne_ has quit (brown.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 08:49:19 -!- shapr has quit (brown.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 08:49:19 -!- malaprop has quit (brown.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 08:49:19 -!- {^Raven^} has quit (brown.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 08:49:20 -!- lindi- has quit (brown.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 08:49:20 -!- cmeme has quit (brown.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 08:49:20 -!- cpressey has quit (brown.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 08:49:21 -!- yrz\werk has quit (brown.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 08:49:21 -!- BigZaphod has quit (brown.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 08:50:13 -!- yrz\werk has joined. 08:50:13 -!- BigZaphod has joined. 08:50:13 -!- ZeroOne_ has joined. 08:50:13 -!- malaprop has joined. 08:50:13 -!- {^Raven^} has joined. 08:50:13 -!- cmeme has joined. 08:50:13 -!- cpressey has joined. 08:50:13 -!- lindi- has joined. 08:50:13 -!- shapr has joined. 08:50:36 -!- puzzlet has joined. 08:50:46 -!- pgimeno has quit (brown.freenode.net irc.freenode.net). 08:50:50 -!- pgimeno has joined. 09:13:06 -!- puzzlet has quit (Client Quit). 09:17:03 -!- puzzlet has joined. 09:20:12 -!- fleft has joined. 09:25:01 -!- fleft has quit (Read error: 131 (Connection reset by peer)). 09:29:50 -!- yrz\werk has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 09:35:02 -!- yrz\werk has joined. 10:06:51 -!- calamari has joined. 10:22:26 -!- kipple_ has joined. 11:28:01 -!- calamari has quit (Connection timed out). 12:13:56 -!- jix has joined. 12:14:26 moin 12:46:54 -!- calamari has joined. 13:14:22 -!- calamari has quit ("Leaving"). 13:17:33 -!- calamari has joined. 13:38:05 -!- calamari has quit ("Leaving"). 13:50:45 -!- kipple_ has quit ("See you later"). 14:08:41 -!- kipple_ has joined. 15:29:29 -!- fungebob has joined. 15:32:18 -!- puzzlet has quit (Client Quit). 15:35:16 -!- puzzlet has joined. 17:18:06 -!- BigZaphod has quit. 17:55:49 -!- BigZaphod has joined. 18:11:15 -!- fungebob has quit ("Today is a good day to chat."). 18:50:32 -!- lindi- has quit ("..."). 18:51:29 -!- ChanServ has quit (ACK!
