Jul 6, 2014 at 6:38 comment added aditsu quit because SE is EVIL @GregHewgill from what I've seen around here (to my dismay), that would likely get a bunch of downvotes and be closed as a duplicate
Jul 5, 2014 at 22:15 comment added Greg Hewgill @aditsu: I'm probably going to make the Grade-2 challenge a separate problem, and specify the requirements carefully.

Jul 4, 2014 at 20:37 comment added Almo Man... the penalty for unicode chars isn't big enough to make this interesting. I wanted to see how people were going to encode the braille set.
Jul 4, 2014 at 18:13 comment added xem can the output be vertical?
Jul 4, 2014 at 17:19 comment added user344 You could count bytes instead of characters and remove the penalty, the cost is about the same (@DigitalTrauma's first solution is 85 bytes). Edit: I just realized that would penalize languages like APL. It's up to you.

Jul 4, 2014 at 8:34 comment added Greg Hewgill @qwr: I'm not going to change the bonus at this point. Note that capitals aren't separate letter codes, but a prefix code that means "the next letter is capital".

Jul 4, 2014 at 4:48 comment added qwr @GregHewgill Can you make the bonus for including capitals, numbers, and punctuation larger? Currently that's 26+10+12 = 48 extra characters, not much of a bonus (unless you compress the braille data)
Jul 4, 2014 at 4:45 comment added Greg Hewgill @qwr the basic punctuation listed in the braille Wikipedia article.
Jul 4, 2014 at 4:42 comment added qwr What punctuation do we need to support? Some symbols don't have a standard braille equivalent.

Jul 4, 2014 at 2:53 comment added Greg Hewgill @JanDvorak: Fair point, I've removed the "valiant attempt" weasel words. There is considerable variation in real world use of these contractions, and fully spelling out contractable words using only letters is valid but considered clumsy by braille readers.

Tightened up -200 bonus criterion.
Jul 4, 2014 at 2:30 comment added John Dvorak I'm sorry, but a single example doesn't cut it in a code golf specification. Please give us the objective minimal requirements to qualify for the bonus.
Jul 4, 2014 at 2:23 comment added Greg Hewgill @JanDvorak: Thanks, updated question.

Jul 4, 2014 at 2:20 comment added John Dvorak define "valiant attempt". Also, is line-wrapping required?
