00:58:29 <fizzie> Oh, and I don't have any offscreen jumping in 42; with my browser there's a large black bar above the actual game screen, and when I jump on top of the poles in #42, the guy goes to that black region and is completely visible.
01:00:43 <oklopol> hmm
01:01:04 <oklopol> too sleepy to continue, not sleepy enough to sleep?
01:02:41 <fizzie> About to go to sleep right now, actually.
01:02:50 <fizzie> Nighties.
01:06:06 <oklopol> hey
01:06:13 <oklopol> i was gonna go to sleep :|
01:06:30 <oklopol> BUT I CAN'T NOW
01:06:32 <oklopol> yeah i can.

12:38:21 <fizzie> See.
12:38:22 <oklopol> well aren't you a fucker
12:38:27 <oklopol> 8|
12:38:38 <oklopol> well what a mean bot
12:38:44 <fizzie> Takes after me.
12:38:54 <oklopol> i mean, i have like a four hour band training today
12:39:05 <oklopol> wait
12:39:09 <oklopol> it didn't make me play guitar
12:39:11 <oklopol> but play
12:39:11 <oklopol> lol
12:39:18 <oklopol> well i have an argument for that as well.
12:39:22 <oklopol> that just wasn't it
12:39:23 <oklopol> let me think.
12:39:32 <oklopol> yeah! right! i need to prove things today!
12:39:44 <oklopol> AND i have like a four hour training today
12:39:48 <fizzie> Yes; go on and prove that you can get past level 93.
12:39:50 <oklopol> so i'll just have a few hours for that
12:39:57 <oklopol> fizzie: i'm @ level 97
12:40:00 <fizzie> Ooh.
12:40:04 <ehird> oklopol: gimme password
12:40:05 <ehird> plz?
12:40:06 <ehird> :33
12:40:13 <oklopol> how do i get it?
12:40:20 <ehird> go onto the level select
12:40:21 <fizzie> It's there in the level select screen.
12:40:23 <ehird> theres a number at the bottom
12:40:33 <oklopol> okay.
12:40:49 <fizzie> I did a half-hearted attempt at 93, but missed one blue dot in the lava room.
12:40:59 <oklopol> 656-029
12:41:08 <ehird> god damnit, smalltalk/squeak is just too damn productive
12:41:10 <oklopol> was that your first attempt?
12:41:15 <fizzie> Second.
12:41:15 <oklopol> i needed a lot of attempts
12:41:20 <ehird> i am solving the HALTING PROBLEM
12:41:20 <ehird> :|
12:41:21 <ehird> also
12:41:23 <ehird> someone relink me to the game
12:41:28 <fizzie> http://dagobah.biz/flash/dotact2.swf
12:41:29 <ehird> nm
12:41:29 <ehird> found it
12:41:31 <oklopol> the next few i think i got on the first try
12:41:36 <ehird> LETS DO THIS
12:41:41 <oklopol> except for one but that was just bad luck
12:41:41 <ehird> man this game is awesome
12:41:54 <oklopol> meh it's a pretty trivial and uninteresting game
12:42:14 <ehird> oklopol: but you're having fun
12:42:16 <ehird> :P
12:42:59 <ehird> agh 97 is impossible
12:43:46 <oklopol> ehird: i'm having fun?
12:43:53 <ehird> well, you sound it.
12:44:10 <oklopol> uhhuh?
12:44:14 <oklopol> where did i sound like it
12:44:24 <ehird> all day and yesterday? :P
12:44:56 <oklopol> yes, competing with fizzie is fun. it would be fun to compete with him @ throwing dice and trying to get a lot of 20's. that doesn't make it a good game.
12:44:57 <oklopol> err
12:45:05 <oklopol> but where did i actually enjoy the game?
12:45:14 <ehird> i dunno
12:45:14 <ehird> :P
12:45:19 <ehird> fizzie: do you find it fun
12:45:35 <oklopol> i have liked a few levels, not sure i've liked *playing* any of them, but some of the levels have been interesting.
12:45:42 <fizzie> Not really, no. I'm just not good at stopping.
12:45:45 <ehird> 95 is hard
12:45:46 <oklopol> and levels generally don't make a game good.
12:46:12 <oklopol> i'm a control/weird perception/reaction/puzzle guy.
12:46:24 <oklopol> although i suck at reaction and i'm not that good at puzzles
12:46:38 <oklopol> i conjecture you have to hate the game to be good at it
12:46:41 <oklopol> :P
12:46:43 <ehird> agreed
12:46:50 <ehird> but it's a good kind of hate
12:46:50 <ehird> :P
12:47:42 <oklopol> lol sure sure :D
12:47:50 * oklopol attempts 97
12:47:52 <oklopol> doesn't look too hard
12:48:37 <ehird> the zots only last 1sec
12:49:53 <fizzie> You just need to be good at jumping at the right time.
12:50:25 <ehird> 93 looks pretty ok
12:50:26 <fizzie> This #97 might be easier with autofire on the jump key. :p
12:50:51 <oklopol> if the zots lasted more, that would be trivial.
12:50:52 <fizzie> The zot time is short enough for it to be nontrivial to collect all the blue dots in the lava room of 93.
12:51:39 <ehird> oklopol: but they dont
12:52:14 <fizzie> Title screen of 97 is so red it might even be that they stop at 100.
12:52:28 <fizzie> Or alternatively it starts going toward some other color, since it's been blue-green-red already.
12:53:33 <oklopol> ehird: yes, that just makes it nontrivial, it's still not very hard
12:56:02 <fizzie> Level 46 is #005011, level 91 is #502000, and 92 is #501d00; based on that it could well hit #500000 at level 100 or so.
12:59:55 <oklopol> okay 97 is pretty hard. and it's the good kind of hard, because hardness is distributed pretty equally
13:00:06 <oklopol> (also happens with time limits but they're annoying)
13:04:50 <ehird> which one was the one that looked really hard but was just a single hold?
13:05:00 <fizzie> 46, I think.
13:10:07 <oklopol> 97 done
13:10:10 <oklopol> that was a good level
13:10:46 <fizzie> Okay, there seems to be a separate set of levels 101-108; they appear in a list of their own. (No, I didn't play that far, took a peek at the flash bytecodes.)
13:11:56 <fizzie> They also don't have separate passwords; once you do level 100, you get that list of 101-108.
13:12:16 <fizzie> Since ehird probably wants them codes, 086-754 gives the 101-108 list, while 809-936 gives the 1-100 list.
13:12:33 <ehird> fizzie: lulz
13:13:36 <oklopol> 326-632, pretty mean.
13:13:44 <ehird> ?
13:13:50 <oklopol> 98
13:14:15 <ehird> my lord
13:14:16 <ehird> XD
13:14:37 <ehird> my lord
13:14:38 <ehird> 101
13:14:39 <ehird> O.O
13:14:43 <oklopol> i'm fast enough, but not consistent enough
13:15:01 <oklopol> hmm
13:15:06 <oklopol> actually i'm not sure i'm fast tnough
13:15:06 <oklopol> enough
13:16:21 <ehird> FUCK 101
13:16:31 * ehird tries 108
13:16:33 <ehird> OH MY
13:17:13 <ehird> oklopol: try 10
13:17:14 <ehird> 1
13:19:46 <oklopol> ehird: if i get that far, i will
13:20:06 <fizzie> Those levels seem to be mostly for fun.
13:20:33 <fizzie> 105 has 2002 seconds of time, and is just a picture of a cat or something.
13:21:05 <ehird> 105 is easy, but
13:21:07 <ehird> the last level
13:21:09 <ehird> and 101
13:21:11 <ehird> and some others
13:21:13 <ehird> are really fucking hard
13:22:12 <fizzie> Well, they're sort-of optional; when you get past 100, you see them all.
13:22:22 <ehird> yes but
13:22:22 <ehird> :\
13:22:51 <fizzie> 102 is a decorated version of that nasty 98, where the path to climb is the stem of a flower. :p
13:23:27 <ehird> nope, 102 has antigravity
13:23:27 <ehird> try it
13:23:30 <ehird> no
13:23:31 <ehird> just gravity
13:23:32 <ehird> pulls you down
13:24:00 <fizzie> Well, sure there's some water down there from where the flower grows.
13:24:07 <fizzie> But the actual meat of the level is that climbery.
13:24:13 <ehird> no no no
13:24:15 <ehird> try climbing
13:24:19 <ehird> there's more gravity than usual
13:24:34 <ehird> ...
13:24:36 <ehird> wow@100
13:24:39 <fizzie> Didn't notice; at least it's not too much more.
13:24:46 <ehird> ..
13:24:50 <ehird> .oklopol you will hate 99
13:25:43 <fizzie> Heh, hadn't looked at 99 yet.
13:26:10 <fizzie> I think it will need some serious route-memorization. Fortunately I don't have to play through these.

13:35:51 <ehird> :D
13:36:26 <oklopol> does the christian god see thoughts?
13:36:34 <ehird> yes.
13:36:57 <oklopol> thought so
13:37:03 <ehird> why?
13:37:26 <oklopol> there was this kid who made a cypher for god to solve.
13:37:40 <ehird> stupid
13:37:40 <ehird> :P
13:37:45 <oklopol> he's 7-yo
13:38:01 <oklopol> i'd say that was a pretty fun idea, that young kids usually aren't very original
13:38:02 <oklopol> well
13:38:07 <oklopol> dunno if that was his own idea.
13:38:12 <oklopol> but anyway, we're trying to decypher it now.
13:38:22 <oklopol> would give you to you, but it will decypher into finnish, so...
13:38:30 <ehird> xD

13:38:34 <oklopol> vddl rbt cliks nt psd klhsm atfo
13:38:45 <oklopol> i've tried all letter-to-letter substitutions
13:38:47 <oklopol> that's not it
13:38:56 <ehird> oklopol: it's random typing.
13:39:28 <oklopol> maybe. that's a risk i'm willing to take
13:39:55 <oklopol> random typing based on what?
13:40:05 <ehird> oklopol: have you tried ALL letter-to-letter substitutions?
13:40:07 <ehird> i.e. not just ROTs
13:40:09 <oklopol> based on kids being idiots?
13:40:17 <oklopol> all letter-to-letter substitutions
13:40:23 <ehird> and, umm, i doubt a 7 year old would come up with a decent cypher :P
13:40:47 <oklopol> when i was that age, all i did was come up with cyphers and alphabets
13:40:52 <ehird> yes but
13:40:54 * oklopol had a pretty good memory back then
13:40:54 <ehird> you're oklopol
13:41:47 <oklopol> i guess i'm a bad example, yes, but i am *an* example
13:41:56 <oklopol> anyway there might be a solution
13:42:11 <oklopol> and i want to find it if there's one

16:52:53 <fungot> oerjan: 14.1.9 ick_get/ setone/ twospot variable or expression mentioned), and the line label is encountered, it helps to enforce good programming style, by discouraging next-stack leaks ( which is the bit-reversal of the statement is encountered, it is also readily available for free for other compilers
17:12:31 <fizzie> Yes, I think I've explained it at least thrice.
17:14:38 <fizzie> The script I build the "darwin" model with filtered out unused tokens, including punctuation; since Darwin never used :) and :(, this caused the two most common real tokens (actually I think it's :) = of, / = the) get allocated the numbers fungot's text generator thinks are still punctuation.
17:14:38 <fungot> fizzie: w450 the documentor is not a `next from', and to allow abstaining from the start). if the optimizer more general, because they have the extension `.cio'; it is named after the start menu then typing `cmd' ( which must be in the `create' syntax in the same name if they don't mix well with `goto'.

17:21:55 <AnMaster> fizzie, hm an idea then would be simply using sed on the model file
17:21:57 <AnMaster> to fix it
17:22:55 <AnMaster> or is it binary? I don't remember
17:23:28 <fizzie> Binary, yes, and not too simple.
17:23:51 <AnMaster> fix the bug and regenerate then I guess :/
17:24:26 <fizzie> It's been fixed for ages, just haven't bothered to rerun; not quite sure what n-gram lengths I used there.
17:24:40 <AnMaster> or have the symbols :) and / encoded in the files instead of hard coded
17:24:40 <AnMaster> ?
17:25:31 <AnMaster> fizzie, ?
17:26:12 <oerjan> except that would mean regenerating all the _other_ styles
17:26:18 <ehird> fizzie: what is the code for 1-100 again
17:26:57 <fizzie> 809-936
17:27:04 <ehird> thankees
17:27:47 <fizzie> Punctuation needs special spacing, that's probably the main reason they're not in the tokens.bin where all the other words are.
17:28:04 <fizzie> Not that the spacing would be correct right now either.
17:29:29 <fizzie> Actually I think the punctuation tokens are in tokens.bin, it's just that fungot's tokens-to-text has a hardcoded "if it's below K, it's punctuation, and here's what to do" code.
17:29:29 <fungot> fizzie: as an argument to unary binary logic operator, or identical subexpressions). this causes the operand to be interesting. this error happens at runtime, as might be produced during the compilation will work, but because modern computers are likely to be a constant originally or because a subscript was too surprised to finish running and the changes you made to `resume' with a naive attempt to continue by some means at tha
17:31:22 <fizzie> I didn't regenerate the Darwin model because I thought no-one cares; of course, by now I've probably spent more time explaining the problem than fixing it would've taken.

20:42:55 <GregorR> Level 55 has defeated me.
20:44:17 <fizzie> Huh? 55 wasn't so bad, compared to some of the others.
20:46:16 <GregorR> I get all the way around and do one of the flips surrounding the blue block, then I get back to the "water" and I can't get from the water to the next brick, I can't get enough momentum to get over there.
20:46:24 <GregorR> So I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what.
20:46:29 <fizzie> It's just "go under the green dot, jump up, hold right, jump around a bit, drop down to the middle of the green block and keep holding right".
20:47:40 <fizzie> You can just drop down and enter the green blocks from the left, then keep trying to move right; that way you'll eventually get the blue dot.
20:47:53 <GregorR> OHHHHHHHHHHHHH
20:47:57 <GregorR> Gad, it seems so obvious now.
20:48:12 <ehird> code for 55? i forget
20:48:32 <fizzie> 809-936
20:48:41 <fizzie> Well, that's the one for 100, but you get 55 too.
20:48:49 <fizzie> Maybe you should write it down.
20:49:30 <GregorR> Where does it show the code?
20:49:43 <oklopol> in the state choosering screen
20:49:44 <fizzie> Level selection screen, down there.
20:49:46 <GregorR> OH
20:49:49 <GregorR> At the bottom, got it :P
20:49:51 <oklopol> can someone solve 99 for me?
20:49:55 * GregorR = incompetent.
20:49:56 <ehird> oklopol: k
20:50:07 <oklopol> i have a solver but i'd have to copy it manually.
20:50:13 <ehird> haha
20:50:14 <ehird> really?
20:50:19 <ehird> oh you mean
20:50:20 <ehird> for mazes
20:50:20 <oklopol> ...really what?
20:50:24 <ehird> fizzie: http://dotaction.fizzlebot.com/ see, it has your name on
20:50:28 <ehird> you were destined for it
20:50:31 <oklopol> err yeah i made a maze generator once
20:50:45 <oklopol> and naturally made a solver, but that took like 5 minutes
20:50:46 <fizzie> The maze part isn't that hard to do, getting through it in the time limit is another thing.
20:50:58 <oklopol> it's a hard maze
20:51:19 <oklopol> i can't see the optimal path right away
20:51:40 <fizzie> The latter of my two attempts got me to the bottom-right corner even though I didn't even have the route solved yet, just did some intuitionary things.
20:51:58 <fizzie> That's when I ran out of time, even though it just would've been a simple climb up.
20:52:28 <oklopol> well i could probably solve that without paper, it's just i'm not going to.
20:52:51 <oklopol> well i would solve it, but i thought i'd ask someone first :)
20:53:05 <ehird> i love t his game
20:53:25 <fizzie> The part that was mostly "guesswork" was just the "well, obviously I need to first climb up this left side, otherwise they wouldn't have put it there like this".
20:54:01 <fizzie> Oh, and there in the middle where there's a long drop, it's obviously "the right route must go up, because otherwise this wouldn't be a great place to accidentally fall down and be unable to finish".
20:54:32 <oklopol> yeah i don't care for psychology
20:54:34 <fizzie> With that sort of logic I don't think I ended in any dead ends in that attempt.
20:55:03 <fizzie> I'm just so bad at jumping off from 1-pixel niches that I'm not going to try to do it fast enough.
20:55:20 <ehird> this game is the best game i have ever played
20:55:20 <ehird> srs
20:55:54 <GregorR> Boy, 56 sure doesn't SEEM like a time trial but it is.
20:56:35 <fizzie> That http://dotaction.fizzlebot.com/ link is to version 1.01; the original you pasted -- http://dagobah.biz/flash/dotact2.swf -- is 1.10.
20:56:41 <fizzie> I don't know what the difference is.
20:56:44 <ehird> Nor I.
20:56:44 <ehird> :P
20:58:16 <fizzie> But dagobah.biz seems to be built by someone Finnish, because all the button graphics are in the directory "/painikkeet/" (Finnish for "buttons") and there are some comments like "<!-- Header DIV alkaa -->" and "... loppuu ..." where fi:alkaa == en:starts, fi:loppuu == en:ends.
20:58:21 <ehird> How do you do 57?
20:58:38 <ehird> http://dagobah.biz/
20:58:41 <ehird> Finnish.
20:58:45 <ehird> seems to be an irc channel.
20:58:55 <ehird> Yodan piilopaikasta <- I'm going to assume this means "Yoda pedophile".
20:59:05 <fizzie> "from Yoda's hiding place".
20:59:10 <ehird> No.
20:59:13 <ehird> Yoda pedophile.
20:59:34 <fizzie> And I did 57 by moving to the right, falling down a bit so I got the blue dot, then immediately moving right back before it's dropped so far that it can't get back on the platform.
20:59:42 <fizzie> Then it's just a single jump to grab those others.
21:00:28 <fizzie> There's not a lot of time for trial-and-error, so I think it took me several attempts.
21:02:25 <ehird> i like stage 47
21:03:58 <fizzie> Zet-time in 47 is a bit too long for it to be challenging.
21:04:45 <ehird> stage 84 is just stage 4
21:04:45 <ehird> :P
21:04:57 <fizzie> Yes, there's quite a lot of reuse.
21:05:26 <fizzie> Played the first 20 or so levels again earlier today, and there were quite a lot of the later ones with lot more zot-time and lot less lava.
21:05:45 <ehird> stage 94 is nice.
21:06:29 <fizzie> Never played through that one, since I stopped at 93.
21:06:41 <GregorR> lol
21:07:17 <ehird> 93 is a bitch.
21:07:57 <ehird> how long does the last 93 zot last?
21:08:47 <fizzie> 55 units.
21:09:44 <fizzie> A long time, but not so long that it'd be easy to pick all blue dots.
21:11:06 <ehird> this game hates everybody
21:11:34 <GregorR> wtf@57
21:11:37 <GregorR> DON'T ANSWER THAT
21:11:56 <ehird> 57 hates butts
21:11:57 <fizzie> Didn't we just talk about 57 some ten lines ago?
21:12:05 <ehird> yes

22:41:34 <fizzie> I could add the "nick: " prefix to all fungot's output, not just the chattery.
22:41:34 <fungot> fizzie: there are certain steps that can handle expressions even if the variable or variables mentioned lower down the stack, and selecting 1 from the left command has not finished; `coming from' in the first interpretation is the recommended technique for creating a statement, although i haven't figured out what it does, try reducing the number of variables.

22:41:43 <ehird> fizzie: Could your perhaps make it not let arbitrary people write to the channel?
22:41:44 <ehird> :P
22:41:58 <AnMaster> I would suggest blocking ehird
22:42:05 <AnMaster> as he put himself into this position
22:42:11 <AnMaster> I would never had done it if he hadn't
22:42:25 <AnMaster> nor do I have any plans to do it except to point out what he did
22:43:05 * ehird read the logs out of curiosity. So AnMaster is suggesting blocking me from fungot because AnMaster is using it to evade my ignore of him.
22:43:05 <fungot> ehird: second, the attempt will silently fail ( just like you can load a debugger ( such as `,3 sub 4 5'). the solution is to allow a possible character set as possible input. ( this is the name of the array, it is documented.
22:43:07 <ehird> I... see that logic.
22:43:26 <AnMaster> very simple, you did it before several times

22:43:45 <AnMaster> so if you want it to ignore me then you should also be ignored
