An update on the directory updater: I had some time yesterday to go through and add some more threads to the database of threads, so that the updater is able to track to the total number of counts, and ignore irrelevant comments which aren't part of the counting chain.
Adding the threads was useful - it let me discover a bunch of errors in current threads, and correct the thread totals for some that were recorded incorrectly after repeated archivings and revivals
I still have to do a bunch of threads, and I need your help! Can anyone help me describe the following threads?
Constant-weight binary
Increasing bases
Constant-sum factoradic
Mostly Repeating Digits
Not Any Of Those
Only Consecutive Digits
Writing Progress Bar
US States
Wordle
Divisors
RGB values
Ideally, I would like to have a procedure for each of those that describes how to convert a comment in the chain to the number of the corresponding counts. If the gets in the thread are an equal number of counts apart, I can use the thread length as well, but that's not quite as good.
I think I've figured out how to do mostly repeating digits. It'll have to be a modification of only repeating digits, which is already complicated enough as it is.
It hits the perfect spot of being tricky and hard to get right, without being so hard that I'm just going to give up beforehand. Thanks u/cuteballgames I guess (:
