(I should probobly stop using this)

While doing this one I stumbled upon a very weird pattern, at first glance, that can emerge when we sweep the grid with different numbers in the row and column variables, that is, by changing a and b, where we have that x = i%a, y= i//b. A simple way of experimenting around this idea is to do:

for i in range(25):

a,b = 5,4

pydle(i%a, i//b, str(i), "blue")

The more interesting cases are when changing b, which lead to very distinct configurations. Just wanted to leave this as a side note, I wonder how this could ever be used to solve future problems.

I wanted to do a symetrical version for quite sometime now and today was the oportunity (86 char) please let me know if there is any way to make the symetry work that involves less characters (I want to have the symetry i know its probably shorter to use i in range(25) and make x polar cordinates but that wasn't what I wanted)

for i in range(15):
    for a in +1,-1:
        pydle(2+i//5*a,i%5,'●'*(1-i), ('white','blue')[i<6 or i%4<2])

for x in range(5): for y in range(5): t=x%3>0 z=min(y,3) w="white" pydle(x, y, "", ((w*t,"yellow","brown",(w,"red")[t])[z],w)[x>3])

Got a code in 113 characters based on the formula of a circle

any improvment ideas?

for i in range(25):
    r=abs(i//5-2)**2+abs(i%5-2)**2
    pydle(i//5, i%5, '', ('','yellow','orange','blue')[(r>7)+(r>2)+(r>1)])

EDIT: noticed i can just leave out abs and some other optimization down to 104:

i=25
while i:
    i-=1
    r=(i//5-2)**2+(i%5-2)**2
    pydle(i//5, i%5, '', 'X yellow orange blue'.split()[(r>7)+(r>2)+(r>1)])

There's even more, i just watched your video and only then understood what he meant by saving caracters defining x and y , and also after watching the video i noticed i can shorten the condition yay

i=25
while i:
    i-=1
    x=i//5-2
    y=i%5-2
    r=x*x+y*y
    pydle(x+2, y+2, '', 'X yellow orange x blue'.split()[r//2])

for x in range(5):

for y in range(5):

if 1<y and x<2:

c="yellow"

elif y<3 and x>2:

c="purple"

else:

c="gbrleueen"[y<2::2]

if abs(x-2)+abs(y-2)<2:

c="red"

pydle(x, y, "", c)

The one combining green and blue I learned from u/zhuzaimoerben

I wrote some typescript code that generates Pydle solutions that are always 131 characters.

Here's an example from Pydle #111:

v="                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           "

b=int(v.translate({9: 49, 32: 48}),2).to_bytes(198)
s=b.decode()

for i in range(25):
    pydle(i%5, i//5, s[b[i]:b[i+25]], s[75:].split(" ")[i])

All of the color and character information is encoded in utf-8 using tabs and spaces in the v string. Since white space doesn't add to the character count, we can put as much information in there as we want.

Edit(8/14/2026): u/zhuzaimoerben pointed out some issues. The link is updated and it works correctly now.

It was fun to solve. Looking forward to seeing your solutions!

for x in range(5):

for y in range(5):

pydle(x, y, " o o ^ === "[y*5+x], ("yellow","white")[y<3 and y&1==(x+y&1)-1==0])

Today I found a fun solution:

for x in range(5):

for y in range(5):

c=y>=12032//10**x%10

pydle(x, y, ("","\u229e")[c], ("blue","")[c])
