00:00:03 <shapr> I just keep my creative skills fresh in case I can't get a programming job.
00:00:53 <shapr> I think my burning need is exploring 'means of expression' and programming is the niftiest way to do that so far.
00:01:30 <shapr> As I've said before: "Programming is the Magic Executable Fridge Poetry, it is machines made of thought, fueled by ideas."
00:04:11 <shapr> Do you guys know of a tiled programming language? I've been wondering how a hexagonal language would work.
00:04:16 <shapr> I guess Piet counts.
00:14:15 <pgimeno> hm, Befunge uses square tiles in some sense
00:16:18 <pgimeno> in an hexagonal language PC would move in six directions, I guess
00:17:27 <shapr> I was thinking more about a source and sink setup.

00:29:18 <pgimeno> BigZaphod: your Life program is traversing the whole area and counting the neighbours of each cell, right?
00:30:25 <pgimeno> hm, JS makes it difficult to take advantage of an usual optimization
00:30:45 <pgimeno> it consists in having an array of counts, initially all zero in each iteration
00:31:18 <pgimeno> instead of counting the neighbours for each cell, you look for active cells and add 1 to each of the neighbours
00:33:30 <pgimeno> the analysis of the number of neighbours is then performed at the final stage
00:34:54 <pgimeno> with javascript YMMV; with C it's very likely to get a speedup
00:35:10 <BigZaphod> js arrays seem pretty slow, so it is hard to say.

00:50:16 <pgimeno> forgot to say: actually, the speedup only applies to situations with low concentration of alive cells
