A while ago, I made some spells for performing complex edits on lists without having to manually unpack them and shuffle around the iotas. The new stack manipulation patterns in 0.10 allow these spells to be much shorter and more efficient, so I decided to rewrite and repost them. Hopefully these will be helpful for all your spell-editing needs.

Robo's Scalpel
list, num, list → list
Works just like Surgeon's Exaltation, but replaces the given index in the first list with the flattened content of the second list. Mainly intended for modifying spells, but you can probably find some other interesting uses.

Code: Select all

Rotation Gambit II
Dioscuri Gambit
Numerical Reflection: 1
Additive Distillation
Prospector's Gambit
Abacus Purification
Selection Exaltation
Rotation Gambit II
Numerical Reflection: 0
Jester's Gambit
Selection Exaltation
Rotation Gambit II
Combination Distillation
Combination Distillation

Advanced Scalpel
list, num, num, list → list
A more powerful version of the above spell. Replaces all the items in the first list between the two provided indices (lower bound inclusive, upper bound exclusive) with the flattened content of the second list.

Code: Select all

Numerical Reflection: 21
Swindler's Gambit
Gemini Decomposition
Rotation Gambit
Prospector's Gambit
Abacus Purification
Selection Exaltation
Rotation Gambit II
Numerical Reflection: 0
Rotation Gambit
Selection Exaltation

A convenience for printing these out to find offsets. Uses Counter's Queue. Probably needs modification for spells > 64 in length.

Print Listing

begin Counter's Queue

end Counter's Queue

Could you explain what that is for in a bit more detail? What exactly does it print out?

This is it running on itself.

Oh, so it prints each pattern in the provided spell along with its index. Why do you need Counter's Queue for that? Couldn't you just do it like this using thoth and an incrementing number?

Yeah, actually that would probably be easier now that the recursion limit is 512; when it was still 64, CQ was helpful as part of an unrolling gambit.

Locator's Scalpel
list, pattern, list → list
Modified version of Robo's Scalpel that takes a pattern instead of an index, and replaces the first index of that pattern in the first list with the contents of the second list. (As with the original, does not fail gracefully.)

Code: Select all

#define Locator's Scalpel (EAST dedqdewqaeaq) = list, pattern, list -> list
{
    Rotation Gambit II
    Prospector's Gambit
    Jester's Gambit
    Locator's Distillation

    Dioscuri Gambit
    Numerical Reflection: 1
    Additive Distillation
    Prospector's Gambit
    Abacus Purification
    Selection Exaltation

    Rotation Gambit II
    Numerical Reflection: 0
    Jester's Gambit
    Selection Exaltation

    Rotation Gambit II
    Combination Distillation
    Combination Distillation
}
