@DomHastings Here we go. In addition to forbidding some control variables with system-dependent content, I'm also trying to steer you away from constructing numbers as the length of a list. If you're stuck, start with / instead of ?, it lets you do pretty interesting things, but I eventually decided that it was an unnecessary indulgence.

@DomHastings Nice! Pretty different from my solution. I'm going to make another challenge that forbids $^X, but first I want to try and see if I can close another loophole.

Cracked, although if this isn't the intended solution, adding \x18 to the output would give me another chance to figure out how to generate a!

My solution technically uses an implementation detail, but one that works very broadly. | |
| Jul 28, 2020 at 20:22 | comment | added | Dom Hastings | So, I have a solution, but it relies on an implementation detail and a low-byte char, so I imagine it's not quite right... I'm going to continue just in case I can figure out a more portable way... | |
