Code Golf - The Information/Discussion/Planning Thread

pimathbrainiac:
Since the main contest in this forum at the current time is Code Golf, this thread will be the place for the information, discussion, and planning of Code Golf.

Rules of Code Golf

* Make a program that completes the challenge prescribed on Monday in as few source bytes as possible.
* All programs must be PM'd to the challenge creator or one of the Community Contests board moderators by 11:59:59 PM ET the following Saturday.
* Winning code for each language will be posted on Sunday
* Don't be a rule breaker/bender (see this)Challenge Creator Rotation
To keep the work load off of one person, there will be a rotation of people making Code Golf challenges each week. If you want to be in the rotation, reply in this thread. The current rotation is:
1) @pimathbrainiac <- On deck
2) @c4ooo
3) @Juju
4) @JWinslow23
5) @Ivoah
6) @LDStudios <- Current challenge

Some rules for challenge creators

* The challenges must be open to all languages
* It is preferred that the challenges give calculators some advantage, since this is a calculator forum (eg. key input based challenges)
* Challenges must be posted on Monday
* Challenges must be posted in this board on Omni. If you wish to cross post to other forums, that is fine
* You will receive a PM one week before your turn to post a challenge
* If you can not prepare a challenge and post it by monday of your given week, message one of the community contests board moderators. You will be skipped in the rotation, and your turn will come back to you when the rotation rotates back to you
* Challenges must be plausible to complete in a week (so make a platformer is probably not the best idea)
* Make sure your OP is updated with the overall ranking, and the language ranking (format seen here). While the board mods can edit your post for you if you, please don't make us do that
* At the end of your week, prepend "[ENDED]" to the topic title in the OP, so people know it's over

Ivoah:

Sweet!

Juju:
I think we should also have rules so counting bytes is consistent between challenge creators, like, convert newlines to UNIX style (you can do that in Notepad++ for you Windows users, one newline is one byte) and no ending newline (substract one for you Linux users I guess).
