| Aug 14, 2018 at 16:47 | comment | added | Magic Octopus Urn | @Adnan fair enough, the lack of the mirror makes it a significant refactor in my eyes though (that and I doubt I'd've got there on my own :P). | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 16:46 | comment | added | Adnan | The idea is almost exactly the same as your submission, so I don't think I can post this as my own answer. It was the „vr…v r: part that brought up an idea that saves ~6 bytes. | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 16:34 | comment | added | Magic Octopus Urn | @adnan wellp, yeah, but doing it that way would be smart, and that's just not my style ahaha. You want to post it instead? That's a significant improvement over mine to be honest-- barely even looks the same. | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 16:30 | comment | added | Adnan | For 23 bytes: .•VvÈ©•¹∍¬„ v:Rηε¬ý}.c | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 16:24 | comment | added | Magic Octopus Urn | @KevinCruijssen Didn't see that the first time. Bad habit of skimming comments/summaries. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for multiples of 7; you have to make sure we need the space due to the v AND the r existing. String compression was spot on though :). Could maybe do 'r„ r though if preceeding newlines are fine. | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 16:21 | comment | added | Kevin Cruijssen | Ah lol. I have no idea what came out when. Sometimes I see very old answers from mid 2016 however which didn't even had implicit input yet, then I know it's an old version. ;p PS: In my first comment I mentioned something else to golf 3 more bytes. | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 15:22 | comment | added | Magic Octopus Urn | @KevinCruijssen string compression came out ~5 months after I wrote that tip :P. | |

| Aug 14, 2018 at 15:17 | comment | added | Kevin Cruijssen | Ah yes, you made the tip about the ASCII art compression with transliteral. Nice tip with code-generation btw, I used it recently in an answer of mine. I was also doubting it would work considering the three bytes of .••, but I figured I'd try anyway since "" is also already 2 bytes, and it indeed saved a byte. :) EDIT: Your tip doesn't use String compression though, only number compression. Ah well. xD | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 15:14 | comment | added | Magic Octopus Urn | @KevinCruijssen oh I know all about string compression-- I just figured (as is usually the case with super small strings) that the 3-byte bloat of .•• wouldn't save a byte. Figures the one time I don't actually check is the time it would save bytes xD. Good catch | |
| Aug 14, 2018 at 14:51 | comment | added | Kevin Cruijssen | "vibgyor" can be golfed by 1 byte to .•2Bãθ(•. (Here the explanation for it at the "How to compress strings not part of the dictionary?" section.) In addition, „vr…v r:ð« can be golfed to 'v„v .:. So 28 bytes. Nice answer though, +1 from me. | |
