@neauoire ( i never actually used the open command into the orca-c tui menu, i remember it has been discussed adding tab completion feature and it wasn't worth the effort )

@neauoire i will explain the trick into the forum anyway =)

@npisanti cheers

@neauoire ok this is the embarassing moment when i don't remember anymore what's the current way of doing a logic OR with bangs

cc @eel

@npisanti @eel I don't think you need it if you're only handing rhythms

@neauoire @npisanti this is what i currently use for bang logic:
https://github.com/eelfroth/orca-projects/blob/master/banglogic.orca
(let me know if it could be optimized somehow)

@eel yep, that OR seems the right answer

@neauoire probably i won't use it, but we had to answer something xD
( anyway i saw you did it, so case closed )

@eel @npisanti it could be optimized, let me do a little update :)

@neauoire @npisanti keep in mind that for this challenge, variables are only allowed for I/O (to make the pattern infinitely repeatable). i saw your elegant v solution on the forum :)

@eel @npisanti It's a tiny thing, but instead of moving data around with Y and J, K makes it a tiny bit tiddyier.

@neauoire @npisanti indeed! I should remember to use K more often

@eel @neauoire we should find a way to collect all those snippet not included in the examples, they're easy to forget

@npisanti @eel I just added it to examples actually, it's the nth time I end up looking my history for the logic gates too.

https://github.com/hundredrabbits/Orca/blob/master/examples/misc/gates.orca

@neauoire @npisanti it's interesting that all of them need an inverting F at the end. so their base variants are actually NAND, NOR, and XNOR

@eel @npisanti Interesting observation, I wonder what that means as a whole for the design of orca operators.

@eel @npisanti It's programming for the left-handed.

@eel @npisanti Or, the programming language from across the Looking Glass.

@neauoire @npisanti i mean, these patterns are all emergent behaviour. i don't think L was ever intended for this use, was it :D

@eel @npisanti It wasn't

@neauoire @npisanti i just realized that the Fs in AND and OR aren't actually inverters here. it's just that F by itself acts as an XNOR so it needs another F to become XOR

@eel @npisanti yeah it's more like a to_bool() in this case

@npisanti @neauoire ( that discussion happened here: https://merveilles.town/@cancel/103420701448478863 )

@npisanti mhmm, do you wanna explain that on the thread?
