Comment on: We need more programming challenges. We should start off small: First non-repeating character of a string. Any language you like.

Considering I don't know C, I estimate I will only get this joke 10 years later. @_@

Python

def fnrc(x): #First non-repeating character
    temp = x
    while len(temp) != 0:
        if temp.count(str(temp[0]), 0, len(temp)) == 1:
            return temp[0]
        else:
            temp = temp.replace(str(temp[0]), "")
    return "No nrc found"

I love syntax errors. >_>

Comment on: Got a game for you low-level programming NERDS

Thanks; Infinifactory and Great Permutator are very different however, if you haven't played them. The comparisons basically stop at the conveyor and block level. For Great Permutator, the inputs are limited, the game is very time focused, the amount of items you can use is limited, the board is always 11x11, generally the game is more limited, but also more focused, which I really like.

LogicBox is online, a commercial version here, but it had a previous free version on Flash that was a lot less extended here. I must note that there are a couple 'deceptive' things I don't like; the dev is having life-related issues with getting the last part done and the game is currently "perpetually on sale" for that time (it's been a year since he said he'd do it) and there are currently only 4 parts of the game. By the way, if you don't know, Zachtronics also did start on Flash games, with games like KOHCTPYKTOP ("Constructor" in russian). Those are generally less accessible, but people who got into them like them.

Comment on: Somebody is injecting code into the SNES by playing super mario world

That sounds amazing. Where was that?

"Real" assembly is not parallel like this; parallel programming is usually done in more specialized stuff like networking. It's Zachtronics by the way; they have some pretty cool games. This one I feel is the weakest; it's too much like actual programming, and it keeps all the things I hate about programming. Other games similar to this one are LogicBox (more a learning style, I guess) and Great Permutator, which are not made by them.

One of the more unfortunate aspects is not only does it not change much with programming, but you don't really repair stuff at all, you complete stock challenges. Wish there were more plot connection.
