Posted challenge

Changed goal of challenge towards ascii art

| Jun 29, 2023 at 15:25 | comment | added | Arnauld | This is usually a bad idea. Maybe it would be better to turn this into a slightly more complex ASCII art, giving more compression opportunities. Here is a quick attempt. | |
| Jun 29, 2023 at 15:00 | comment | added | Fhuvi | @Arnauld Sadly i found the same conclusion while trying to code it. For standard languages, would it be more interesting if i discouraged hardcoding by discouraging using too many digits, for example with a scoring system? (for esolangs, i think it's part of the game that anything goes and i shouldn't try to oppose it) | |
| Jun 29, 2023 at 14:08 | comment | added | Arnauld | I'm afraid this won't lead to many creative answers. Even with a short clever formula generating the pin numbers in the correct order, the cost of applying the correct formatting is very likely to give something longer than just hardcoding the output (for standard languages) or using a built-in string compression (for esolangs). | |
