A: Default Rules: Loopholes Optimizing specifically for the given test cases Applies to "code-speeding" or fastest-code where your program must run as quickly as possible, as well as compression challenges. Obviously, there is a finite amount of cases because we have to measure speed/compression somehow. It's not in the s... (more) |

A: Default Rules: Loopholes Abusing native number types It's common to restrict inputs, outputs, intermediate algorithm values, etc. to fit into the native number type of the language. This can be a problem for languages like Boolfuck whose only integer type is the 1-bit integer. With a minimum of one bit of input and one... (more) |

A: Default Rules: Loopholes Using inconsistent I/O An example would be a program whose only two outputs given some input can be 2 and 11. The program is `print(11)`: claiming that it outputs in unary for some outputs and in decimal for others shouldn't be allowed even if output in either of these is allowed. (more) |

It should be noted that Mathematica is technically free (as in beer) through Wolfram Notebooks. This doesn't fall under the "no unofficial circumvention" rule as Notebooks is provided officially by Wolfram. (more) |

A: Default Rules: Loopholes Using a non-free (beer) language on a cops-and-robbers challenge For a discussion on what counts as "free", see this post. Cops-and-robbers challenges have two components: a cop posts a program optimized to be as good as possible in some property and a robber tries to invalidate the program. An... (more) |

A: Default Rules: Code Golf I/O In languages without STDIN (eg ///) programs may input through insertion into the source code Also applies to cellular automata, in which the most natural way of taking input is specifying some space for a user-created structure. (more) |

A: Default Rules: Code Golf I/O Programs may output via exit code Exit codes are to programs what return values are to functions, so it makes sense that exit codes would be allowed. (more) |

A: Default Rules: Loopholes Outsourcing the answer to unofficial conditions An example would be a program to print the Fibonacci numbers: instead of actually computing them, it queries an API and gives back its output. Another example would be a program that executes a program in another file instead of computing the Fibonac... (more) |

| Question | — |
A number adder, not a death adder Create a program P1 which takes as input a base 10 number N1 (the numbers for the variables are important). Given N1, P1 will print a program P2. P2 will take as input a base 10 number N2 and output N1+N2. P1 and P2 have to be in the same language. If your language doesn't have STDIN, for P1 an... (more) |

The output may be literally whatever you want through whatever you want so long as the outputs are constant and different, the input has to go through STDIN unless your language doesn't have input, in which case you may use a function. (more) |

A: "Hello, World!" ///, 13 bytes ``` Hello, World! ``` Someone had to. 18 bytes using replacement ``` /x/H/xello, World! ``` 23 bytes using two-layer replacement ``` /a/Hello, World!//b/a/b ``` `a` is replaced with `Hello, World!` in `/b/a/b`, creating `/b/Hello, World!/b` which prints `Hello, World!...

Versatile self-printer Using your languages of choice, golf a quine - a non-empty program taking no input and only outputting its source. Here, the win condition is your quine working in the most languages. It should be a proper quine, although it can append newlines in a language that absolutely requires them. Only ... (more) |

A: Obligatory Quine Challenge h, 4 bytes ``` 1,-1 ``` Neither this program (by VilgotanL) nor the language (by Nerdaxe) are mine, but I think the latter is interesting and so I am submitting the former.
