Thanks for the reminder! I actually forgot because I thought I had already posted this month, so now we have our first cheated back-date! |

Okay, now I'm worried. Are you all right, Tom?

Quick, if you're in the right timezone, you can still post in April!

Thanks for the criticism. The first chorus is deliberately airy and muted to draw a contrast with the second half, but maybe I overdid it (I tend to). |

The website (tom7.org/portmantout/) has a link to the source. Will probably need some minor modifications to get it to build in something other than mingw-x64 on windows.
Aside from the heuristics (choose long suffixes first) and opportunistic improvements (remove words that are incidentally covered), there isn't really any attempt to optimize. It's a good problem (though I'm pretty sure NP-hard). For the video, I ran it in parallel a few hundred thousand times (some parts are arbitrary so I choose randomly) and just saved the smallest one. |

Nice video! Do you have a source release for that program, or do I have to make it myself? *runs* How does one optimize the output anyways? Obviously, one of the least efficient outputs would be to go in dictionary order and use that chart to link all words by just taking the last letter and going to the start letter of the next word in the dictionary. |

I like it!
Some comments:
Around 1:13, the rhythm guitar doesn't resonate enough for my liking. It feels there is not enough background resonance in this section. A good way to make this better would to be add a bass part to it. The lyrics remind me of something out of a Jonathan Coulton track. Wacky and fun, just the way I like it. I love the coda (starts 4:12), and I think that could use some expansion. Heck, I'd listen to a whole track based on that coda. |

Good ideas, though I guess I should also add that it needs to fit in carry-on luggage and be TSA approved! Then again, how could the Statue of Liberty not be TSA-approved? |

Run dressed as the Statue of Liberty. Or the Eiffel Tower? |

And... Mentioning the level editor, I have found a bug.
I've tried creating a level and so I resized it and made it a 5x5. It has a tick mark meaning it's been solved, but the level is unsolvable. I've tried uploading it, but whenever I hit "upload" the box just vanishes and does not confirm it. I'm guessing it's the bookmark, but the bookmark doesn't even touch the Exit Door. |

^SCRATCH THAT!^
Fixed that, now I get a numworking > 0 error.
I know this means I am not running with "helpers". What are those, and how do I run them? |
|
I apologize for the bother. I am new to this, and I reall don't know where the config.txt file is. I searched it, and I got a bunch of .cc files, as well as one .h file. I'm a noob at this, so help would be appreciates, thanks! |
|
Thanks, many people have been asking for something like this so I'll send them to your video :) |
|
I think this will help ppl

Please feel free to use this vid tom ;) |

This means it can't connect to the helpers. Run the helpers first and then run the master with the ports that you used for the helpers. Try just running one helper and then one master, to make sure you have the right idea. |

Yes, when I see an uptick in weird messages I know to check what's going on! I like his videos and it was an honor to be included :) |

Hi Tom, Likely you know you are featured in a video about human extinction, by Michael Stevens, on his YouTube channel, Vsauce. Reference begins 6 minutes in.
