Kind of overwhelmed by all the scripting I gotta do and can't do...
I'm a musician/composer so we program notes ;)
Got the ideas but not the technique :P
I just started python yesterday...

Anyhow, Thanks, I'll check it out.

It seems you need to automatize just like cavern master.
What programs do you use to automatize this?
Or with what language do you code this program?

Thanks

I didn't use a compiler or whatever...
I just wrote down with the instructions of the code.
It seems however that a.reverse is doing nothing;
like tails says: It's just a function...

Mistake or meant to be?

Follow the Logic

Hello! The code: function ff(answer) { var x = 2; var y = 5; var z = 3; var a = new Array(6, 5, 4, 9, 3, 7); var v = y * a[y] + z * a[z] - y * x * z + a[y] * a[x] * a[3]; a.reverse; v = v + a[z] + a[y] + 11 * a[1] + a[0] - 1; if (answer == v) { return true; } else { alert("not it!"); retur...

thanks, but I don't get it... It would be better if this challenge remained unsolved because I'm not worthy of solving it (yet)...

I guess I'll have to study it then...

bit test

Hey there!

I tried this test and the values that I got where indeed the power of two.

I still don't understand the code though...

Could someone shed some light on this?

Mmm, yeah, this is what it gives me too. I made a reading mistake :shock: Anyhow, still I needed to try several editors (why GIMP?) before it gave me the right value. Isn't there a more pure way to retrieve the value of an Image? Thank you for your patience, though, to bad it ends with green (where ...

With the gimp you use color picker?

Because the color picker gives me the wrong info again (with GIMP as well)

problems is the PNG binary isn't that complicated only the image has a color type 2 or 4, otherwise it would be easy to retrieve...

Anyhow, I tried like 6 image editors and they all give a different data, so I am fed up now..

easiest mathematical scripting tool

Hi there, I've managed to solve 37 challenges without any knowledge about programming but now I have various ideas to solve a challenge but no experience in scripting. And I believe that the fast typing challenges teaches that there is another way... Any recommendations on accesible scripting langua...

Don't forget you can use your ears to. If you know the first note then transcribe the rest of the melody and play it on the piano :)

Yes, but the tools I use that give me a 24-bit integer of the RGB apparently give me the wrong code.
If I can't trust the tools then I must find a way to uncover the color from the data I have: the file itself.

Color Meter

Hi there, I am enjoying the challenges. The Didactic RGB is bothering me because my color meter is inconsistent. I got a color meter that comes with my mac and it is possible to read the 24-bit integer from that program. Only it differs between computers and all my attempts where wrong anyway. I dow...
