05AB1E VS tiny-games-hs

l'05AB1E pour faire du golf

At least on the Code Golf Stack Exchange, I see a lot of people using esolangs for golfing (two random examples: Jelly [1] and O5AB1E [2]). I expect that it could be a line or two shorter at least with a change of language. As I recall some of the golfing langs also have pretty sophisticated compression techniques for strings, although they might be optimized for dictionary words. Careful distinction: they are all optimizing for bytes used, not characters used.

I don't want to neglect your shameless plug, but I struggle enough to find a solution to some of the puzzles I wrote (hence the undo), so finding the shortest path is a little daunting.

So, like 05AB1E? :D

Step 2: write it in 10 lines

I don't personally know of one. It's not that I particularly intended this to be obfuscated, either, I just wanted it to be short. OK, I did rearrange it to spell out a rick roll but the impact to readability on that point was probably minimal. I guess what I'm saying is that the obfuscation is a side effect of the minification (side effects, in Haskell??).

The best I know of are some tools people developed for the tiny game jam to help you minify your code, which you can find here https://github.com/haskell-game/tiny-games-hs#minifying.

The version on the Tiny Game Jam page has been updated to include a cheat code that skips levels.

For the last question, also in the small games line, OP you could try to make a Haskell Tiny Game : https://github.com/haskell-game/tiny-games-hs .

Thanks, this has worked out great because I had one line left over anyway.

Psst. Check this out.
