My eyes don dey gum, i don sleep be that.

Dont worry will send the binary for MacOS and the solution. So you go fit check am..

@Whiztim, very great job.
Thanks for the stackexchange answer, i also had a hard time figuring why gcd solved the question.

dhtml118:

I am not participating o, i am only an umpire here.

Okay...

Don't do that... Just grab Team Viewer.. I'd test right on your Mac.

WhiZTiM:

- A quick glance at Bresenham's line algorithm shows it achieves its work in O(N) time, which I find really cool! Mine does same!
- There may be a bug lurking somewhere, while I doubt it, I am opened to learning from failure cases of my algorithm.
- before posting this, I decided to go through the whole nonsense on this thread and I am only just realizing there is an amortized O(1) algorithm for counting the cells... And hell no, there was no way I was close to thinking that GCD direction... So, I am definitely not the smartest here.
- Once again, I enjoyed the problem, thanks for posting.

Another thing that makes me feel good is that, with only two changes to the code, the above solution can work for rectangular grids...

Wow, such an eye opener. Taking a look at the Bresenham's algorithm, all i can say is if I saw that first I probably wouldn't have thought of the gcd solution, however the solution accounts for rectangular grids too.

back, what did i miss? Ehen, see all them professors talking.

I thought by now we would have gotten the solution to @DanielTheGeek's challenge to me. Abi una no even try am at all ?

hmn

E be like say i don give up.
@DanielTheGeek and seunthomas how the fu[k did you compile your glass code?
Been at that for close to hour, just compilation, wetin sef.

Just incase you log in before the deadline, please help me out on how to use this to compile glass. https://github.com/C-Bouthoorn/rust-glass It's written in rust and i have issues running the file.

The command rustc main.rs
returns error
error[E0463]: can't find crate for 'glass'
--> main.rs:1:1
|
1 | extern crate glass;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ can't find crate

error: aborting due to previous error

I've been busy and don't want to stop my other plans cos of just compilation.

Crate of eggs missing. . .i taya o

dhtml118 i see you, any help?

dhtml118:

Lol, did you try it?

I can't figure out how glass file is supposed to be structured.

The thing no work for my mac too now.

I have not really had time to seat and face the challenge ohhh.

seunthomas:

But were you able to compile any sample code successfully?

4kings:

All the codes successfully. I will see if i can finish the task and then build the interpreter for windows also. So i can upload a windows binary.

seunthomas:

Okay...

What's up guys? Even danielthegeek has not logged in , looks like this week is hectic...

Bro, really hectic, I'm tired and worked up too. But seems no one could come up with a solution.

I don't have a Mac so i'd use a virtual machine to test the installation on Mac and let you know what to do to make it work. Till then bro.

seunthomas:

You have tried bro.

DanielTheGeek:


You have tried bro.

I actually solved it but dont want to eat your money. I may put up the code and the binaries online later this week (Just for fun).

seunthomas:

Lol, I would've really loved to see you eat my money... Should I reopen the challenge till tomorrow?

DanielTheGeek:

If it won't be the one that i will be chasing you around over 10k. I am giving you 100% guarantee that i can do it in glass but if despite this warning you still feel like losing the 10k, then fine with me extend it till tomorrow evening 8pm (will make out time for it). If we want to make it even interesting we can make it 50k and extend to friday evening and if i dont solve it you get 50k.
Let me hear from you before 12pm today to know if you want to waste your money.
I can of my own solve it and upload it anytime this week (just for the fun of it).

I want to see this glass solution still o!

The language is actually hard but i already have an insight into it. Let him up the stakes na....
I want to say there will be only a handful of people that can actually solve it using this glass lang.

Okay...
What operating system do you test glass with?
Did you check the rust code, I think figuring the error will be better for the compilation on all OS platforms...

Oga Seunthomas I dey wait for the windows binary oo.

Very very true...
But let me compile it first.

Didn't you see that the build of rust-glass failed on GitHub? The error is from the glass library not being found. Just go back and download the latest version of the interpreter from https://esolangs.org/wiki/Glass and run on your Linux distro

The glass library is not being imported so the program won't run...

Let's just do it for fun now since the time frame is out and you're not even sure of when you'd be posting your solution.

I'd be taking part now... I guess that's not cheating, right?

OK, would run on a linux environment, thought cygwin would do the trick...

Not without breaking things at times. Some things aren't just meant for Windows

For those interested in the buildable glass interpreter for windows
I uploaded it here
https://filebin.ca/3fzH0DfZetPc
You can use "make" on windows to compile the source code.
Happy Glassing..

*Beating my chest* I knew he can do it!
