Comment Post #296653 Yes the site is still working and under active development, and the Code Golf community is active but a little quiet at the moment. More challenges welcome... There's also a Discord channel (see the link in the right hand panel, or the bottom of the page on mobile).

Comment Post #296406 I suppose technically I should say "I don't know if you want both sides changed or just the right". I really don't feel qualified to guess in this challenge.

Comment Post #296406 There appears to be a typo in the reduced end result in the "Task" section: > reduce that result (e.g. `EENWNWESWESW` -> `EENWWESW`) I haven't made an edit because I don't know if you want the left or right hand side changed.

Answer A: Slow animated open of leaderboard to avoid misclicks
I'd be happy with the approach suggested in the question, but even better would be server side support for a leaderboard, so it is present immediately when the page loads, and there is never a jump in the interface. This would also allow the leaderboard to be displayed for users who browse wit...

Just as I start to press the mouse button, the leaderboard finishes initalising and the page jumps as the leaderboard appears instantly, and I click on one of...

Does this just mean any output (such as displaying on the screen or the return value of a function) or does it mean something more restrictive? The defaults are described in [Default Rules: Code Golf ...

Comment Post #295964 Does [Revision 4](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/295964/history#4) mean that additional test cases would have caught this earlier? Do you have a suggestion of a test case that would help?

Comment Post #296007 I agree it's a higher bar in general (particularly because different people will disagree on what level the algorithm should be analysed at - is a particular example really an O(N) algorithm if it uses a built in which is probably O(N²) in the language implementation?).
