I've just finished writing a genetic algorithm for Hello World, would anyone be interested in having a race? All languages allowed and no time limit.

Oh my, how cute... he's written his first program!Quote:

You almost had me with that oneQuote:

for fun?Quote:

Are you thinking down the lines of
?Code:#define dna_len strlen("Hello, world!");
pretty much, yeahQuote:

Oh, and it's fun imo
Okay, there is my submission with extensive comments and acknowledgements. Cheers, and thanks, to the fellow OSS developers!Quote:

I like this idea, actually.
Wow, that's a really impressive runtime.Quote:

Mine is printed before yours is even compiled. I win.Code:#warning Hello World
Also:
because Prolog is awesome.Code:
?- write('Hello world!'), nl.
Cut n' paste #2: "name this language" challenge
bonus points if you have a compiler for this "mystery" language and can find the typo(s)...Code:+++++ +++++ initialize counter (cell #0) to 10
[ use loop to set the next four cells to 70/100/30/10
> +++++ ++ add 7 to cell #1
> +++++ ++++++ add 11 to cell #2
> +++ add 3 to cell #3
> + add 1 to cell #4
<<<< - decrement counter (cell #0)
]
> ++ . print 'H'
> + . print 'e'
+++ ++ . print 'l'
. print 'l'
+++ . print 'o'
> ++ . print ' '
<< +++++ +++++ +++++ . print 'W'
> . print 'o'
+++ . print 'r'
----- - . print 'l'
----- --- . print 'd'
> + . print '!'
> . print '\n'
I'm pretty sure there's a wordfilter that would prevent us from saying brain........Quote:

Yes well, I took a look at your code... and there's a heck of alot more than "hello world" in there... what's with all the arrays and data gathering?Quote:

muahaha, you may have warned others but it's too late for you! Your SIN number is already in the hands of 42 Islamic extremest immigrants, the name and location of your children's school has been forwarded your local NANBLA chapter, all of the naked pictures of your wife that were stored within 5m of your computer have been sent to charities benefiting children's cancer, your complete browser history has been mailed to every member of a religious group within 50km of your current location, and your home page will be set to lemon party after you finish reading this message (try it)Quote:
