Topic awaiting preservation: Sierpinski Gasket

Sierpinski Gasket in 178 bytes. Nothing complicated, just toying with cellular automata.

Nice.
...sorry, I couldn't help ( 111b )

Fine, if that's the way you want it...

Glad you take it that way.
107b sierpinski gasket /!\ increase the text-size if the gasket is screwed.

I have a 104b version, but not with the character "A"

Btw, you can remove the last ; in your script.

Coolness. I'll see what I can come up with, then.

Indeed I can. Just one more byte to tie it up then...

My version with a different character is 103b now.

*bump*

The 104b version and 103b version are available. Notice that the 103b one does not in FireFox as it whines about a lack of declaration of the variable i.

in which browser, resolution, font ? Like the 107b version, the 103 and 104bytes ones must have a rather big font size to really show the gasket. Otherwise the lines appear like if there was a float:left;.

This is interesting. Your 103b version seems to work when delivered from your web server, but not when delivered locally, or from my web server. I'm guessing this is due to the way the browser handles multiple whitespace. The only difference I can see is that my Apache server does not deliver the following in the HTTP response:

"X-Pad: avoid browser bug"

Do you know if this forces the browser to handle leading / multiple whitespace differently?

That aside, you could replace the "<br>" in your code with "\n" to take it down to 101 bytes (at least in IE, anyway - haven't tested other browsers

Thank you for the infos about the HTTP headers.
In fact I don't use several whitespace but a whitespace and a character with the ascii code 255, that way it's not treated as a whitespace and I can put many blank characters in a row.

Aaah - that's what it was (#255). I really should upgrade from using notepad as my default source code viewer - that way, I might stand some chance of spotting these things

InI: That "bug", is here since the version in 107bytes. The font size must be big enough to avoid lines of the gasket to be stacked ( like with a float:left; or some SPANs ) when there's enough room for that.

So that's how you did it. onload=''. Quite brilliant way to save, what, 7 bytes or so?

I'll have to play around with that some...

I tried using <img onload="... but because the image never loads it fails spectacularly. And <img onerror=" is the same length as <body onload=" anyway... Ah well!
