  • \$\begingroup\$ Also, TIO's alphuck uses 8 bit cells (otherwise this wouldn't work), whereas the compiler we've been uses C++'s default int size of 32 bits. Currently, the program isn't affected, but making use of the 8-bit-ness of the cells technically wouldn't be allowed since we have no evidence of an interpreter that did so that predates the challenge (although I agree that TIO's version is more true to the spec than what we have). \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 2, 2017 at 14:46
  • \$\begingroup\$ For Fission: if you check the comments on the question, @ais523 confirmed exiting with a non-zero code intentionally is acceptable, as it's different than crashing. So there's no need to fuss over the exit code before calling *. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 2, 2017 at 15:23
  • \$\begingroup\$ @SnoringFrog I didn't realize that about fission, but I don't think I would have done things differently if I had. Consistancy is worth 2 bytes I think. Thanks for the Alphuck info. I'm gonna edit that in for visibility. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 2, 2017 at 16:27
  • \$\begingroup\$ Octave's requires block comment indicators to be on their own line. That was enough to shut down my attempt (mainly japt being the issue there), unless I'm missing something. I'll try something else in a day or two, for now I've just golfed out a few characters. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 3, 2017 at 6:32
  • \$\begingroup\$ @SnoringFrog Oh. Yeah, that would shut it down for me too. Dang. We might be able to get there in two if we have to. Just gotta we golf off like 15-20 bytes I think. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 3, 2017 at 7:12
