I went about this totally by hand, and boy was that a pain in the butt. Definitely need to build myself a debugger for HVM + SuperHack! Wrote this to be agnostic about the size of the operands! A slight optimization would be to swap the memory cells if M[0] < M[1], saving a handful of cycles on the ...

I used the FernFlower decompiler and it worked perfectly fine - everything else I tried choked, though. De-obfuscated the various `stop` and `run` calls, but it turns out the actual math didn't need any de-obfuscation at all: the first loop creates the correct sequence in a 3x3 grid and the second m...

Necrobump I suppose but I just solved it any I'm happy with my work. I manually disassembled the HVM and reduced it after some bugfixes (because counting is hard apparently) down to this Lua: local memory = {126,664,235,156,145,645,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,0} function C(x, y, z) local v1 =...

While I enjoyed writing this, it will definitely be a challenge to do the more brutal short ones. Here's my code: 0<10>0^0<<0^82*?:1-3?0<<0<1+0>5cdp It abuses the call stack to return to the loop counter, doesn't freeze on 0 or negative inputs, and uses at most 5 slots on the stack, when swapping ou...

Remarkably simple. I love it!

I gotta admit, this puzzle is actually a lot easier to do than anticipated. xD Here's my Lua: local current = {0, 1, 0, 0} local i = 0 while true do i = i + 1 current = {current[1] + current[2], current[1], current[2], current[3]} --[[if i == 8 then print(current[1] + current[2] + current[3] + curre...

Simple enough. Lua: local str = '93752xxx746x27x1754xx90x93xxxxx238x44x75xx08750912738x8461x8759383xx328x4x4935903x6x5550360535004x0xx945958961296x267x8842xxx5x6xx61x4x48482x80xxx83316843x7x4x83x9521731xxx25x51xx457x6x5x9698222x771237745034x5133592x27xx8x87xx35221x36x0x50x23x7x63x998418xx' local tes...

I'm really enjoying these. ^.^ Lua local file = io.open("rfc3280.txt") local t = string.lower(file:read("*all")) file:close() local wrd, maxcount = "", 0 for word in t:gmatch("%a+") do if #word == 9 then local count = 0 for _ in t:gmatch(word) do count = count...

Lua: local file = io.open("lorem.txt") local t = string.lower(file:read("*all")) file:close() for word in t:gmatch("%a+") do local count = 0 for _ in t:gmatch(word) do count = count + 1 if count == 2 then break end end if count == 1 then print(word) break end end
