08:44:23 <W_work> hmm, anyone know how to negate a value in fractan?
08:45:25 <W_work> so that a*x turns to x and x turns to a*x for some prime a where x and a is mutually prime
08:51:43 <W_work> nvm I can design around it

09:01:19 <Keymaker> hey
09:01:28 <bsmntbombdood> hi Keymaker
09:01:33 <Keymaker> hiya
09:03:48 <bsmntbombdood> oooh, Finland
09:03:51 <Keymaker> does anyone know what a windows binary file needs? does it need any header information or such, or can i just have whatever machine code there?
09:03:53 <Keymaker> yea
09:04:38 <lindi-> Keymaker: windows binary file?
09:04:50 <Keymaker> yeah, like exe or whatever it is :P
09:04:59 <Keymaker> i don't know what it's called
09:06:57 <lindi-> yes, those have a header in the begining
09:07:40 <Keymaker> hmm. what's the difference between .com and .exe?
09:08:18 <bsmntbombdood> http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/02/PE/
09:09:29 <Keymaker> i'm more interested about the old dos format
09:09:40 <Keymaker> (that'll be hopefully simpler :))
09:09:59 <bsmntbombdood> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EXE
09:10:16 <Keymaker> haha, didn't thought of that X)
09:10:25 <Keymaker> *think
09:11:33 <bsmntbombdood> .com executables look like they are simpler than .exe (wikipedia)
09:11:54 <Keymaker> ah
09:12:05 <Arrogant> .com executables are not win32
09:12:11 <Keymaker> hmm, this's intersting -- i didn't know one could have a windows program that'd work both in dos and windows mode
09:12:19 <Arrogant> Much simpler though yeah
09:12:48 <bsmntbombdood> Arrogant: "The format is still executable on many modern Windows-based platforms"
09:13:27 <Arrogant> Through emulation afaik
09:13:38 <bsmntbombdood> yeah
09:16:33 <bsmntbombdood> Keymaker: what are you trying to do?
09:18:20 <Keymaker> i got an idea to make a program that'll first print almost all its code into another file, then add some new "random" code (such as printing something) to the new file, and then closing it by copying the rest from the original file
09:18:36 <W_work> there are libraries for generating PE executables I believe
09:18:58 <Keymaker> each time a new version of the program is run it produces a new one that does more random stuff than the one before did
09:19:19 <Keymaker> and i'll write this in assembly or with a hex editor
09:19:58 <Arrogant> Keymaker, just don't have a virus scanner running ;)
09:20:22 <Keymaker> what, could this affect to that? ;)
09:21:51 -!- puzzlet_ has joined.
09:21:57 <W_work> it'll probably just pop up a warning "this program is trying to update it's executable, do you want to continue?" style
09:27:01 <Keymaker> i think i'll use a .com file
09:28:27 -!- bsmntbombdood has quit ("all your basment are belong to bsmntbombdood").
09:29:28 <W_work> com files are nice, easilly debuggable using debug
09:34:04 -!- puzzlet has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host)).
10:05:03 <W_work> Fractran is turing complete, but is it turing complete if a valid fractran program must end? I hate relying on getting the result from the first iteration of an infinite loop
10:13:49 <Keymaker> should this piece of c work? while(i = getchar() != EOF){
10:14:05 <Keymaker> should that go until the input is eof?
10:14:11 <Keymaker> *go on
10:14:36 <Arrogant> while((i = getchar()) != EOF) {
10:14:37 <Arrogant> I think
10:14:43 <Keymaker> ok
10:14:48 <Arrogant> I'm not entirely sure,.
10:17:17 <Keymaker> yea, it seems not to work
10:18:17 <Keymaker> wait.. maybe i have to try compiling the modified source first..:P
10:18:41 <Arrogant> Probably a good idea :)
10:18:58 <Keymaker> works :)

11:56:17 <Keymaker> i wrote my own tool for changing hex values into bytes (and ignore comments). this allows me to easily rearrange code, unlike a normal hex editor
11:56:45 <Keymaker> that is, i now write the machine code in a text file and then convert it to .com with this tool
12:00:40 <Keymaker> gotta go. bye
