Or on the other side, if there was a procedural generator that would generate the required output from some short seed, that would basically win the game for good.
But I guess the possibility of such a generator existing (within the size constraints) for this specific text is pretty much zero.
- goldsteinq 6y agoYou can't produce information out of thin air, so basically your "generator" would need to store all information in the file somehow, and it boils down to writing good compressor to store it.
- yreg 6y agoYou can't produce any arbitrary information out of thin air, but you could produce a specific one by chance. E.g. a Minecraft world seed carries very little data compared to the world which the world generator consistently generates out of it. The catch is that only a miniscule fraction of all the possible worlds can be actually generated since there is a finite amount of coresponding seeds.
