And when I did it, headers didn't count.

What?

TI-BASIC and Axe? Name and program header didn't count.

EDIT: As a heads-up, my incoming challenge has to do with Keith numbers. Let's hope everyone knows how to do Fibonacci-like sequences.

If somehow not available, this may be used instead, but use the byte count, not character count.

@Juju 's Counter counts in bytes AFIK.

The size of the program header for TI-BASIC entries should not be added to the scored size. Source means "length of code", not "file size stored in memory"; most languages have a header hundreds of bytes long on their files, and yet we don't count it. This gives an unfair advantage to non-calculator entries, whose headers are ignored.

I propose that TI-BASIC entries are counted as the size of the program in the [2nd][MEM] menu, minus the length of the name, minus nine bytes.

True, i agree that headers should not count, including headers for shells like Doors and Mirage.

Yes, but if you don't want to use it for some reason, I have used that as an alternative.

And when I did it, headers didn't count.

To keep the OP uncluttered, no, but PM me and I'll give you the requested solution.

Actually, what I did was put the code in a table, with [ spoiler ] tags with the code inside. For example, taken at random from a pre existing contest:

Java

Rank	User	Size	Date	Code
1	3298	189	8/29/2014 12:16:14 PM	Spoiler For Spoiler: class G{public static void main(String[]s){String o="";int p=0;for(char c:"code".toCharArray()){p=s[0].toLowerCase().indexOf(c,p);if(p<0){o="0";break;}o=o+(p+1)+"\n";}System.out.print(o);}}
2	pimathbrainiac	268	8/25/2014 6:57:57 PM	Spoiler For Spoiler: import java.util.Arrays;public class C7{public static void main(String[] args){String s=Arrays.toString(args);int a,b,c,d;a=s.indexOf('c')-1;b=s.indexOf('o')-1;if(b>a){c=s.indexOf('d')-1;if(c>b){d=s.indexOf('e')-1;if(d>c){System.out.print(a+"\n"+b+"\n"+c+"\n"+d);}}}}}

Maybe you should do that.

I have to say, the results are very good so far. All of these but 2 are sub-100. I'm proud of the coders.

I was just about to start this  but o well we all sorta "restarted" this on irc. Can I do reboot #2? 

That's an idea, different hosts for each week? Can I do #3?

As the guy where the idea came from in the first, place, go right ahead. That'd certainly reduce the workload between the hosts, making sure they get a break from hosting.

Hey @JWinslow23 Would you mind if this were picked up again by some other people (such as c4ooo, Sorunome, and myself)?

Oh. Hehe. I almost forgot I did this. And that people were still interested. :\

But yeah. Of course you can revive it. I'd actually like it to be revived, sans all the bad entry ideas I had and overflows of PMs in my inbox .

...one thing though. If you do revive it, tell me where it is...and put some bad puns in there!

Good choice for the contest! *If you squint your eyes you can see the bird flap!

Lol AsmBandit . Haven't seen you in a while, and looking forward to that Code Zombie game.

And thanks! This was literally the first thing that popped into my head that I could manifest into a monochrome 4x3 box of pixels. But it worked surprisingly well.

Have you ever thought Flappy Bird was too easy? Are you easily able to get a score of at least 5 every time you play? Have you been playing so much that you sold all your possessions for some reason in order to keep playing it?

Well, now there's hope

Introducing: Bitty Bird!


Bitty Bird packs all the fun and frustration of Flappy Bird into the barest resemblance of a game you can make it into . It's also written entirely in TI-BASIC, so the minimalist aspect really shines there .

Press UP to flap your less-than-a-subpixel-long wings, and get through as many of  the definitely-metallic-and-green pipes as you can before you crash! At the end, it shows you your score as individual letters and digits (i.e. a score of 14 would be S C O R E 1 4 flashing on the screen). You can press CLEAR to quit at any time.

It has two programs, BTTYBIRD and BTTYDRAW. Both are needed, and you run the game by running BTTYBIRD. You can download them right below, as attachments to this post after the contest, otherwise I'm disqualified .

Planned features:

• Cramming the game in 2x2 pixels
• Coloration of the bird, sky, and pipes
• Physics so realistic your eyes hurt
• insert funny joke here
• Difficulty settings

Please give me feedback! Thanks in advance! :lobstah:

P.S. In case you were wondering, my high score is 22. I wonder if the judge can do better...
