I did enjoy the randomization function at the end of the Befunge run tremendously. When I first noticed it, I was like "What the fuck?", followed by "Ah, neat!" once I understood what you used it for. It was very elegant.
That was precisely the mistake I made in ZFR's previous challenge of this type. This time I knew better ;-)

And finally, initially I wanted to make it simpler. Something like:
input "rats"

But then this quote from Starcraft "Input coordinates" (which is said by Carrier ship, and not intially as I thought by a Wraith, who says "transmit coordinates" instead. But I digress...) hit me and I thought it would add a whole new level of challenge. Then I thought of adding the colon to make it more difficult. And in fact, the "coordinates" will turn one's attention to befunge, rather than brainfuck.
I did include the LotR hint (though I had no idea how useful it'd be) to even things out a bit.

Very clever, ZFR! Thanks for the challenge!

Great challenge ZFR. That was brilliant. +++1
I didn't realize brainf* allowed input so I was going too deep in the wrong tracks.
Keep them coming! ;)

Wow, this is really clever.
If you forget the ":", the output is shambles. I thought it's because the javascript-based interpreter sucks and tried with others but it didn't work... I was just missing a ":" ... Stupid me.

First, I took the LotR-hint way too simple. Maybe I'm too simple. After effectless code examination and interpretation I just tried to apply the LotR-hint at the beginning ... here --> I thought the bold text is the hint and tried to use it in one of the interpreters, modified the code with it and also used the pastebin url or "0hKZUzQp" as input ... instead of "coordinates:".

At one point ZFR said, that someone didn't run all the code. I realized that befunge stopped decoding at "@" and thus effectively ignored some of the code. Therefore I tried to get befunge to also decode the part on the bottom right.

I even tried to apply that horrible whitespace because someone linked to the first esoteric challenge and I took it as a hint.

Next time I will not read any hints because my mind seems to be too befuddled to process them properly.

P.S.: Online befunge interpreters are a pain in the neck.

-> me.

Since I've got holidays now, I finally managed to spend about an hour today on the puzzle (my "pride" of the victor didn't allow me to use the hints, especially when I was so close). When I finally solved it, I was once again like "man oh man". I could've had the solution two weeks ago if not of the colon, because I only tried "coordinates" back then. Oh well, c'est la vie. -_-

Anyway, thank you, ZFR, for this great challenge.

This was me too. Once I realised what I needed to do I put coordinate first and got a jumbled up line of text that I thought was another code.. then after trying to decipher it for 20 minutes I realised I was missing an s, then another few minutes before I added the : too...

I was hacking on that output as well for a few hours =)
