/pos 200,300
\pos 160,180
/pos 200,190
/pos 170, 90
How will it act with a pos in quotes too?
/pos 150, 160
/pos 200,100
/no-reveal
Everyone (rtfgnow :p) seems to be pretty curious how to break the parser… I would actually say it’s going be more difficult than you think. Just about the only way I can imagine that would (and usually does about once a day) break the parser is timing out at chiefdelphi.com or jameskiefer.com (because I have been too lazy to handle the exceptions).
Post parsing works on regular expressions. Here are some of the regular expressions in the parser:
<hr />W{6,}<div><strong>.*?</strong><br /> </div>W{3,}<div>(.*?)</div>
Group 1 gets the name group 2 gets the post data from [Print Thread](http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/printthread.php?t=86538&pp=100)
/\\]pos (\d+),\W{0,1}(\d+)
Group 1 is x and group 2 is y
/\\]answer "(?<answer>^"]+)"|guess "(?<answer>^"]+)"
Group 'answer' is the guess
To answer Alex C’s question /pos “200,300” wouldn’t be recognized as a command.
/pos 180,160
/guess “computer”
yay for breaking the ice
/pos 100,80
/pos 180,170
\pos 110,90
\guess “sunglasses”
/pos 240, 200
/guess “car”
\guess “delorean”
\pos 11111010,11111010
Something I thought of while waiting for my 9-hour wait period to expire, maybe to have your guess considered you have to be in the top 10 posters of that thread. This would prevent people from waiting until the answer is more obvious and swooping in for the point.
The pm told me 11111010,11111010 was already revealed. It is 250,250 in binary. It also had the link called Round 5.
rtfgnow has won!
