This chat, apparently, is a gigantic coding horror

Okay. Now, just remember your order of operations from grade school:

PSycho Phil And Elvis Clean Noodles.
PS P A E C N
+ % & = , \n

OK that explains why it's PS and not P.

Also random thought, but why not just use escape characters like programming languages do? So e.g. instead of = you have \e, instead of & you have \a, etc. (and the escape character itself is escaped, i.e. \\). Replace \ with whatever character would be more suitable.

OK, it still isn't nice but would work with the naive method of replacing and also would reduce bandwidth as a bonus =P (there's risk of invalid escape sequences, but at worst they just will stay unencoded as-is)

Don't pay much attention to "the hedgehog" in my nick, it's just because "Sik" was already taken =/ By the way, Sik is pronounced like seek, not like sick.

well, I hope you're happy with yourself, the chat no longer works :(

yeah gimme my chat back

Posted a message to staff - so hopefully the right people will get the message eventually (Of course USA is asleep atm sad.png) - till then I can only suggest playing the many entries done in the just-past Week of Awesome and post feedback to the various folks who made the games. Either that or do your homework tongue.png.

edit Meh: why is this in coding horrors.....DSM,,,start a thread in the right forum next time (instead of piggybacking)!

The crucial bug in this brainfart of a code is not encoding "_" and not the order (it would still be broken regardless of order - the order does not matter, it just makes it worse).

Yep, deserved entry in coding horrors (our own daily wtf of sorts).

so it was you stormy and i was starting to blame fastcall, show me ur ass.
