Placate author of poorly worded question
Jan 31, 2011 at 19:26 comment added Mike Bethany Then the other languages have to include the code it takes to call them or include #!/usr/bin/env python, for example, in their code. As I said I'll write a real solution too, this was just pointing out the poor quality of the question itself (and many others) and demonstrates we need to have better guidelines. And finally pointing to a question does not make the answer to the question the actual rules for the site. But fine, here's your new version...
Jan 31, 2011 at 16:40 comment added Alexandru Cannot edit. I meant 'incomplete' not 'cheating'. I like the idea of the maze.
Jan 31, 2011 at 16:34 comment added Alexandru Not really as long as it specified in the question. See meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/13/… . Moreover, unlike JavaScript Ruby supports argument reading and writing to standard output. Your solution is cheating compared to others who solved the problem the right way.
Jan 31, 2011 at 16:04 comment added Mike Bethany Actually it doesn't say anything about stdout (that's also not a reasonable stipulation because someone might be using a language that doesn't print to stdout) and it's commonly accepted that inputs are to a function/method. To the person down voting this, it solves the problem as specified so don't hate the mazer hate the maze.
Jan 31, 2011 at 12:24 comment added Alexandru Good, but make sure it respects the protocol (height and width from command line, maze printed to stdout).
