When the community grows and there is more conclusive voting, I would like to see those rules that have reached consensus moved to a help page. I agree it's not definitive at present.
Generally I try to make my specifications reasonably clear for most languages, and then if an obscure language wit... (more) |

The Meta post is deliberately in the form of a list of proposals, so that voting can indicate which ones have community approval. If there are plenty of upvotes and no downvotes I take that as a default rule. If there are very few upvotes, or a mix of up and downvotes then I'm more likely to make a c... (more) |

I agree that it is arbitrary. The only difference is simply that input as function arguments has support in the form of upvotes, whereas input as a pre-existing variable has support for only being allowed when there is no other alternative.
I don't have a strong opinion on what the rules should be... (more) |

So the general answer is "yes you can use a library but it will be classed as a different language", but for this challenge specifically I'm not expecting a graphics library to be necessary, or even particularly advantageous. I'm aiming for a graphics challenge that is so reduced that the code can be... (more) |

Consensus on Meta seems to be that an answer in a language can include the standard library, although the bytes needed for importing it (if any) count towards the score. For other libraries, using them would count as competing in a different language. See [Default Rules: Libraries](https://codegolf.... (more) |

I'm happy to accept the defaults on Meta: [Default Rules: Code Golf I/O](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/282784).
This means taking input as command line arguments, or from STDIN, or as function arguments are all acceptable approaches. I didn't see reading from a text file mentioned there but ... (more) |

Plain spheres Given a list of spheres, output an image. Produce a greyscale orthographic (parallel projection - no perspective) ray caster, that renders only plain grey spheres with no lighting. Input - A list of spheres, each consisting of: - The coordinates of its centre $(x,y,z)$. - Its radius $r$.... (more) |

Output - One of 2 distinct values to indicate whether the input has a factor that is a strict substring of its base 10 (decimal) representation. - Only strict substrings count - a string does not count as a str...

I understood from "y'all" that you didn't mean me personally. My overcareful wording was more to make sure other people reading my comment didn't think I was trying to make a unilateral decision.
Thanks for clarifying. (more) |

A: Short titles A limit of 1 character for Challenges and Sandbox Now that Monica has pointed out that adjusting the minimum is already possible per category, I propose that we leave the minimum at 15 characters for Q&A and Meta, and reduce the minimum to 1 character for Challenges and Sandbox. Why 1 character? ... (more) |

| Comment | Post #291893 |
It's not my call what the limit should be, but yes I would expect it to be the same for both those categories since new challenges are copied across and need to fit both.
Great to hear that this is already implemented. I'll wait to see what new limit the community settles on. I may propose a limit... (more) |

Short titles The title of a Codidact question has a minimum length of 15 characters. For a question this is generally fine, as the title will be a summary of the question in the form of a single sentence. However, for a Code Golf challenge, the title is not necessarily a question, or a sentence. If I have a go... (more) |
