A script proclaiming Arch's superiority

uzbirglones · 2008-05-09 12:21:40

working on a Brazilian Portuguese translation... but it might take me 2 or 3 weeks long... since it's so many strings to translate...

Actually we might consider closing the source on this one.

Not only we should close the source, how about patenting it?

@Allan: This is a beauty! Thanks!

@pulsar1971: You are *BIG*! That's official!

Added polish translation

Arch jest najlepszy!

and brainf*ck version to wiki.

The whole thing reminds me of a TeX—the only errorless program . As one says: "TeX don't have bugs—it has features!"

Goodbye "Hello World". Hello "Arch is the best!" The oldest problem in computer science has been officially solved!

skottish · 2008-05-10 03:02:07

I need to contribute in a more meaningful way here. Ingredients:

GIMP
Python
3D modeler or image viewer that supports importing of .obj files
and this image:

---EDIT---

My free host was swallowed by a non-free host in the last 24 hours. Use any image file that GIMP can read that says "Arch is the best!" to complete this script.

---END EDIT---

Place this script somewhere where GIMP can find it. Maybe your plug-in directory, or like I do, in a user defined Python directory. Please ignore the redundant math and amatuerish Python:

#! /usr/bin/env python
from gimpfu import *

def pic_to_obj(file_name, depth):
    
    if depth==0:
        depth = 1
    
    depth = float(1000/depth)
    
    FILE = open(file_name + ".obj", "w")
    firstline = "g " + file_name + ".obj\n\n"
    FILE.writelines( firstline )
            
    image = pdb.gimp_file_load(file_name, file_name)
    drawable = pdb.gimp_image_get_active_layer(image)
        
    if pdb.gimp_drawable_is_gray(drawable)!= True:
        pdb.gimp_image_convert_grayscale(image)
            
    width = pdb.gimp_image_width(image)
    height = pdb.gimp_drawable_height(drawable)
        
    for j in range(height):
        for i in range(width):
            num_channels, pixel = pdb.gimp_drawable_get_pixel(drawable, i, j)
            list = "\nv " + str(float(i)/10) + " " + str(float(j)/10) + " " + str(float(pixel[0])/depth)
            FILE.writelines(list) 
            
        
    FILE.writelines( "\n" )
        
    for l in range((width)*(height-1)-1):
        if((l+1)%width)!=0:
            list = "\nf " + str(l+1) + " " + str(l+2) + " " + str(l+width+2) + " " + str(l+width+1)
            FILE.writelines(list)
            
    

register(
  "pic_to_obj", "", "", "", "", "",
  "<Toolbox>/Xtns/Languages/Python-Fu/pic_to_obj", "",
  [
  (PF_STRING, "file_name", "file_name", "file_name"),
  (PF_FLOAT, "depth", "depth", "depth")
  ],
  [],
  pic_to_obj
  )

main()

Put your created image (see above edit) and place it in it's own directory for your own sanity. Go into that directory from the terminal and run (replace gimp-2.5 with gimp-2.4 if that's your version). This may take a bit depending on how fast your computer is. (Replace "base_image.png" with your image file. Keep the quotes):

gimp-2.5 -inbdf '(python-fu-pic-to-obj RUN-NONINTERACTIVE "base_image.png" 10 )''(gimp-quit 1)'

When finished, open the resulting file "base_image.png.obj" in your 3D modeler or viewer.

WARNING: This is a severely high-poly image. Every pixel was mapped!

The forum censored me. I thought we were (mostly) mature adults and could handle an f-bomb for such a funny topic.

Here's a port to the emacs operating system^W^Weditor, including support for prefix arguments:

(defun arch-is-best (&optional count)
  (interactive "p") 
  (if count
      (dotimes (i count)
    (arch-is-best))
    (insert "Arch is the best!")))
;; make sure it gets used often enough ;)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x") 'arch-is-best)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-x") 'arch-is-best)

I'm not sure what gave you the idea that all these anonymous, faceless, nameless people were of adult age. We try to keep a family-friendly forum here.

It's funny because
"the topic is censored hilarious!"
and
"the topic is $censored hilarious!"
are both true statements

hello fellow-countryman
in addition to common Czech version, I am proud to add a version in Hantec to the wiki

Arch je nejbetélnější!

Ok, here is now the Firefox addon to have a better Archlinux is the best!'s web 4.0 experience.

It's provide a contextual menu to be informed if Archlinux is the best!, change the page title, change buttons, change links, fill inputs, change links and change the page.

There is a Archlinux is the best! pagerank system, with an icon showing information about the current Archlinux is the best! status of the page, who can of course improved with the menu x].

Here is a screen :

Install the addon !

Xpi is simply a zip if you wants to see the code source, thanks to kezar for his support and sorry for my English

(It's amazing what we can do a Sunday night )

kezar · 2008-05-11 23:39:56

I think there should be a W3-like Arch is the best validator. We may start a RFC to define the Arch is the Best file format specification, then a fast-track ISO normalization.

I vote that gets packaged with firefox in extra.

For the visually impaired:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Arch is the best" | espeak

It needs the package espeak to be installed.

Note: Shamelessly inspired by this thread.

bavardage · 2008-05-13 18:42:00

After extensive testing and my team of programmers working around the clock, I bring you a new implementation.

Here it is in Befunge

The_Major · 2008-05-14 12:55:16

We have had ports to C and D so here are B and E

/* Archbest in B */

main() {
  extern a, b, c, d;
  putchar (a); putchar (b); putchar (c); putchar (d); putchar ('!*n');
}

a 'arch' ;
b ' is ' ;
c 'the ' ;
d 'best' ;

# Archbest in E

println("Arch is the best!")

Barrucadu · 2008-05-14 13:53:43

After much work, I amassed this into an unofficially official website for the project: http://arch.yarrt.com

Susu · 2008-05-14 13:58:02

Wow, this is...GREAT!

Ha, I applaud all your efforts in spreading the knowledge of Arch's superiority!

I preferred to keep everything on there text-based, but I'll do what I did with the Piet implementation - just link to the file.

Added - along with a new Firefox category. If anyone wants to add something to the site, please do
