I'm down to 118 bytes.. we'll see

[Adriweb]

got a 113 chars in Lua ^^

[LDStudios]

I got 105 ^^

[Adriweb]

But you do it char by char so it's not the same

Anyway, your way, I got a bit more than you so I won't submit it ^^

Also, made one in C that's 143 chars + length of input string.

You should either submit it, or show me, because I'm curious to see what you did ^^

Rule clarification: We measure by the amount of characters it takes. Link to character counter: http://mothereff.in/byte-counter

@LDStudios : eh, too bad, I deleted it.
But the core of it is the same as my function-based code so you'll be able to see that.

Also, I had a nice looking solution with pattern matching instead of loops but it's several bytes longer, so...

[Jens_K]

I got 93 by doing it char by char ^^
Not sure if I am after deadline though...

How?

Well I was too late... Anyways, heres my code:

Code: [Select]

n=0
function on.charIn(c)n=n+(tonumber(c)and-c or c:byte())..""print((n:gsub(".","%1\n")))end

[JWinslow23]

While not eligible for judging, it is an impressively small solution!

Oh, and Jens_K, the deadline is always midnight (Central Standard Time) on a Monday.

[Adriweb]

Ha ! Why didn't I try with gsub
I did too complicated with gmatch trying to do everything within a single call... ^^

[JWinslow23]

OK, so unless we have any objections, the next challenge is to make a game of Snake. If anyone objects to this challenge, speak now or forever hold your peace.

[DJ Omnimaga]

You should move the deadline to 11:59 PM instead of 12 AM, because from experience when I organized Omnimaga contests, even experienced programmers and TI community veterans would mix up 12 AM with 12 PM and it was even more confusing for people living in different timezones.
