Archdaemons: Enqueue

Enqueue Archdaemon Yes, I'm copying the name. Summary The Enqueue Archdaemon allows for delayed hexes. Saving a hex along with its intended delay will start a counter that goes down every tick. Once it goes all the way down to zero, it will cast the intended hex. https://i.imgur.com/EextzTm.png Thi...

Handling Archdaemons: Defining the Behavior of your Daemon Core

This is part 2 of a series on Daemon Cores. Part 1 (guide on constructing it): https://forum.petra-k.at/viewtopic.php?t=165 Aside from the regular 1-tick stack preserving Archdaemon, there more interesting ways to use your Daemon Core. I will add more to this post as I create more. As a reminder, to...

Constructing the Daemon Core: Background and Delayed Hexes in Base Hex Casting

This is part 1 of a series of posts on Daemon Cores. Part 2 - Archdaemons: https://forum.petra-k.at/viewtopic.php?t=166 However, before starting to explain anything, let me explain what a daemon is for those who are not in the know. A daemon is a background hex that continuously evaluates every a se...

Improved design - advantage over conventional quines

I spent a little while wondering about ways to optimize out the removal of that duplicate context iota, while not causing a memory leak in the process. I finally figured it out; since directly evaluating a jump iota causes a replacement of the current evaluation frame, can we not use this to "r...

Re: Re: On quines and "future embedding". Jump iota-based quines with internal context preservation

Yes! That was one of my ideas, too. By embedding a dictionary within the payload and using the first argument as the key (maybe a pattern, a la Akasha's Distillation), you could implement multiple instance methods. The initial state of the internal context can be treated as the argument list to its ...

On quines and "future embedding". Jump iota-based quines with internal context preservation

When I came back to Hex Casting, my first warm-up hex was a quine. I ended up on the following solution: Introspection Consideration Bookkeeper: - Hermes Gambit Consideration Bookkeeper: - Numerical Reflection: 4 Prospector Gambit Surgeon Exaltation Retrospection (note: I exclusively use considerati...
