FahrendraKhoirul: help me to solve "temperatures problem"
Uljahn: FahrendraKhoirul: basic algorithm is to convert temperatures from string to ints, make variables for minimum positive and maximum negative value, iterate through temperatures, compare each temperature with those two variables and update them, make some final check and output closest to zero
AbouAmine: Hi here !
GoogleJeff: Hello there
MadKnight: hihi
MadKnight: say hello Automaton2000
Automaton2000: it may be the first time i see that i spawned the slasher on the long run
jacek: what about wanderers, Automaton2000
Automaton2000: so you can try to make it a community puzzle?
Nerchio: how to win ktulu
Automaton2000
Automaton2000: seems like i have to know what is wrong with it
Nerchio: silver boss in ktulu is so fed with points :p
paarth: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/13799930691e54cacb621b2b9e1f94405d574a5
Uljahn: paarth: please use #clash channel for coc invite links, don't spam it here, thanks
kasudy: how to beat bronze in kutulu?
jacek: be higher than boss in bronze [solved]
Nerchio: gz
that_akward_coder: hello
uvBoss: @jacek does it work for silvers too?
jacek: eeyup
jacek: and even for legend bot
jacek: ss
Uljahn: Automaton2000: ba-dum-t
ss
Automaton2000: and he is in the while loop
jacek: will he ever break free, Automaton2000?
Automaton2000: and do not know where to begin
uvBoss: what happens if a slasher sees 2 players in line of sight as he is spawning
uvBoss: ??
Bassel: Hello
DrewTriggered: hello
Aravind3009: hello
TheSilent_Boy: hi
TheSilent_Boy: Arvind
TheSilent_Boy: Are You from India?
vtenneke: So im trying to complete horse-racing duals and my code works codingame just says that it's too slow... even though im using c++
vtenneke: and i have 2 loops
vtenneke: thats all
blasterpoard: you need time complexity of n *log n, not n^2
Uljahn: 2 loops is very inefficient solution, try to use more clever approach with one loop
uvBoss: agreeed
Uljahn: there is a hint button on the left i guess
PrinceSanjivy: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/1380185b4c8fd78195502f3f2137c22e2947c5f
Uljahn: PrinceSanjivy: please share clash invites on #clash
PrinceSanjivy: Okay Bro
Uljahn: thanks
Sachin_07: well this is hard avib
Gwitninm: They told me to say "hi", so hello everybody... I hope everyone had a good day sofar :)
Bassel: Hello Gwitninm
Uljahn: Gwitninm: welcome aboard
Tee-Resa: hello :D
jacek: who told you that?
Gwitninm: the tutorial message after i completed the first puzzle
AbouAmine: Hi Gwitninm !
Gwitninm: so how does this work? If i have a question i just ask it here or what for is this chat used for?
Tee-Resa: sure, you can ask here. but ther is a discussion section for each puzzle ... so this chat is for smalltalk i guess
Astrobytes: Both :)
uvBoss: @Astrobytes what happens if a slasher sees 2 players in line of sight as he is spawning
??
uvBoss: do u know?
DaIsNum: closer to slasher i guess
Astrobytes: uvBoss: nothing if he's just spawning, if it's in the rushing state it will scare all explorers in the line of sight
uvBoss: scare all?
Astrobytes: Yes, they will lose sanity
uvBoss: when it rushed everyone on LOS are scared?
Astrobytes: Yep
uvBoss: oh damn
uvBoss: what will happen to its xand y tho?
Astrobytes: But it targets the closest one in line of sight I think (double check in the referee)
uvBoss: kk
uvBoss: ty
Hjax: i feel like when i get 4th i die like, long before anyone else
BitThief: Is anyone also getting captchas each game?
jacek: youre clash addict arent you
Hjax: ugh, when 3 explorers go one way and i go to the other
Hjax: its actually the worst
Nerchio: and wanderers still follw you :D
Hjax: yep!
Nerchio: im coming to gold to beat you :D
Hjax: not if i get legend first!
Hjax: (no idea how to get legend right now lol)
Nerchio: im in gold in 1 min
Nerchio: you need to hurry
Hjax: nice :D
Hjax: when i promoted to gold it was super close
Hjax: i think i was 0.02 above the boss
Nerchio: i crushed him :D
Hjax: nice!
Nerchio: but in gold looks like im getting bopped
VALI: yo les tepu
K2ARISM: please speak english here
Astrobytes: And don't be rude either
Nerchio: what do you guys think what is more random pacman or ktulu
Hjax: pacman
Astrobytes: pacman
TheSilent_Boy: Hi
Hjax: hi
Puju: hello
eulerscheZahl: the most random game is platinum rift 1 anyways
Marchete: :point_up:
eulerscheZahl: but locam was a pain too
Marchete: 1-turn GG multi
eulerscheZahl: as 1vs1 it's not even that bad
eulerscheZahl: but with 3+ players :rage:
Illedan: Damn, Marchete pulling me down
Illedan: hmpf
eulerscheZahl: and me up
eulerscheZahl: oh, smits uncrashed his bot
Marchete: you started it
Marchete: I was happy at my place
eulerscheZahl: and now we should all stop
Marchete: :)
Illedan: It wont
Illedan: with the contes :P
Marchete: trigger happy Ille
eulerscheZahl: "contest"
Illedan: *contest
Illedan: dammit
eulerscheZahl: will your colleague join us in the reply challenge btw?
eulerscheZahl: depending on the answer we still have 1-2 players to recruit
Illedan: He said he will come back to me closer to the contest to check his time.
Marchete: eulerscheZahl is first \o/
eulerscheZahl: yes, you pushed me up
eulerscheZahl: thanks
eulerscheZahl: i'm afk for a few hours
Marchete: ok
Marchete: go Ille go :D
Illedan: Wow
Illedan: That broke it
Illedan: lol
Marchete: that never happens /s
Illedan: Let me just reset that
Illedan: xD
Hjax: im running out of ideas for heuristics
Hjax: and i cant quite crack the boss
Illedan: OH
Illedan: I have a bug in my slasher logic
Illedan: hmmm
Marchete: you found the bug really fast...
Illedan: I just looked at my 2 year old code
Illedan: and was a little puzzled
Illedan: had to read that diagram again
Marchete: but why?
Illedan: The submitted bot is better vs the top
Marchete: leave the dead code dead...
Illedan: Hmm, submit froze
Illedan: Seems so
Illedan: And it works
Illedan: :)
Illedan: Your go ille go worked
Illedan: Aaaaand it died. 80 rounds before anyone else
Illedan: pff
Hjax: story of my life
Illedan: You legend yet?
Hjax: rank 6 gold :(
Illedan: :rocket:
Hjax: im being lazy and trying to not write a search
Hjax: but im basically out of ideas for heuristics
Hjax: i think i do really poorly when theres a lot of minions near me
Hjax: like if all 4 explorers are in a corner, surrounded, i usually am the first to die
AntiVenom616: How to use shield for coders strike back
Hjax: Illedan if you have any tips id appreciate it :D
Hjax: although i know you are doing a search
uvBoss: @hjax can i ask what ur heuristics are or is it asking too much?
Hjax: go read R4N4R4M4's postmortem
Hjax: mine are very similar
uvBoss: oh noice
uvBoss: ty
uvBoss: i did skim through the PM
uvBoss: but everyone was like iused search algo
uvBoss: so i gave up
Hjax: R4N4R4M4 is legend with just heuristics
uvBoss: damn
Hjax: i should be able to do the same
uvBoss: ayt ty dude
Illedan: My PM is still 100 % what I am doing :P
Illedan: https://kvanli.com/stories/kutulu
uvBoss: @hjax GL
Hjax: i should probably come up with some way to counter yells
Hjax: that might be the boosts i need
uvBoss: @HJax what are voronois used for here?
Illedan: Maximize possible paths without wanderers
uvBoss: oh ty
uvBoss: im noob
uvBoss: never heard of these terms before
Ma.Ay: what is better js or php?
Hjax: depends what you are doing
CopperFr: but js can be used for frontend and backend (with node)
Hjax: but if you are doing server side scripting, maybe you want to use php
Lisker_the_slow: node is shit man
ErebosTheos: PHP is mainly for dealing with data while js is mainly used for dealing with elements. but both can be used for both
Hjax: this gold boss is beating me up
Lisker_the_slow: python beats php and javscript asses all day everyday
Lisker_the_slow: exept in frontend
Lisker_the_slow: javascript beats python ass
Hjax: i believe node is generally faster than python
Zenoscave: Lisker_the_slow any language is just a tool. some tools are better at some tasks than others
Hjax: ^
Zenoscave: saying one language is _ALWAYS_ better than another is juvenile
AntiSquid: test test, is chat dead?
Marchete: fast and these languages can't be in the same sentence </c++ masterrace>
Hjax: hi squid
Zenoscave: lol Marchete
Zenoscave: what about fast development and fast maintenence?
Zenoscave: hey anti
Marchete: I don't know, non typed languages aren't good to maintain in my opinion
Marchete: i mean not strongly typed
Zenoscave: I agree that without some typing contracts there is overhead of development held on the develop rather than the language
Marchete: anyways it was just a joke
Zenoscave: no jokes allowed!
Zenoscave: ;)
Marchete: :(
itzblinkzy: @Jack92 do you mind sharing your code? i messed up :pensive:
itzblinkzy: Okay then :cry:
Zenoscave: itzblinkzy you're in general chat
itzblinkzy: i know that
Zenoscave: There may be a Clash specific chat, no?
Zenoscave: or did it already end
itzblinkzy: he finished it
Zenoscave: ah shame.
eulerscheZahl: Illedan
"Coded in C#, ended 5th and was bearly beaten by MSmiths."
i like that typo: bearly :D
eulerscheZahl: :bear:
eulerscheZahl: "size beeing search depth" :bee:
Hjax: the gold boss has quite the lead over rank 1 gold
eulerscheZahl: nice animal collection
Hjax: almost two whole points
eulerscheZahl: because everyone close to the boss got a lucky push
eulerscheZahl: gold boss is me with reduced search depth btw
Hjax: i go about 50% with it
Hjax: but thats not enough
Zenoscave: Good to know. Hi euler
Hjax: im really hurting for ideas as to what my bot is missing on the heuristic front
Hjax: im so close, having to add search to get legend would be frustrating
Zenoscave: Hjax That usually is the sad part
Hjax: my only idea left is avoiding yells
eulerscheZahl: that sounds complicated
Hjax: it does
Zenoscave: I'm not sure that would work
eulerscheZahl: not even my sim accounts for that
Zenoscave: Try it and get top legend
Zenoscave: ;)
eulerscheZahl: not gonna touch this game again
Marchete: ktulu?
Marchete: PR1?
eulerscheZahl: both
eulerscheZahl: we can extend this list
Marchete: that's the best answer you can give :D
Hjax: i still feel like my biggest issue is that i make the wrong decision at a crossroads and end up alone
Nerchio: too bad :D
Hjax: do you have a solution to that nerchio? XD
Nerchio: feel good dying alone :)
Hjax: :)
Nerchio: i implemented friend finder at the start
Nerchio: https://www.codingame.com/replay/487216543
Nerchio: blue doesnt like me so i go to brown who likes me
Nerchio: or yellow or orange whatever this it lol
eulerscheZahl: fun fact: the boss prints RIGHT, LEFT, ... instead of coordinates
that was the original output format
Nerchio: xD
Hjax: https://www.codingame.com/replay/487220030
Hjax: games like this hurt me
Nerchio: you can code some late game shelter stuff
Nerchio: turn 62 you are winning
Nerchio: no enemies around you for a long time and u have plenty of shelters :) just take the hit
Lisker_the_slow: python is faster than vb.net guys
Hjax: problem is that map has high drain when you are alone
Lisker_the_slow: compiling wise
Hjax: you dont even gain sanity by standing on a shelter
Hjax: you just stay the same
Nerchio: maybe but it would be worth it this time
Lisker_the_slow: modify the code bro
Hjax: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/487220828
Hjax: even with a massive bonus to shelter score
Hjax: doesnt make a huge difference
Nerchio: just thought the corner shelter is a missed opportunity
Nerchio: taking wanderer hit and staying there then moving to center
Nerchio: more monsters would go to the other guys
Nerchio: but yea
Hjax: i dont actually track wanderer aggro
Nerchio: its very specific to the situation might not be very useful in the general sense
Nerchio: I only go to shelters when they are nearby and have energy
Hjax: maybe it would help if i knew not to move up, because suddenly every wanderer wants to kill me
Hjax: notice they all turn orange
Nerchio: y
Nerchio: i didnt even realise they change colors based on the target hahaha :D
Hjax: the red hat and the orange hat look too similar though
Nerchio: my least favourite map
Nerchio: is typhoon
Nerchio: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/487221706
Hjax: ouch yeah that one looks hard
shashwat986: Please upvote: https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/545306fc340e33a58a9880cefbc1a11393c1
shashwat986: or, you know, downvote or comment, ig
jacek: o:
Hjax: got to love the 50 rank variance on submits
Hjax: i wonder how convincingly blasterpoard would promote if you dropped him in gold
Hjax: theres no way he wins all of his games
Lisker_the_slow: yoooo wassup programmersss
blasterpoard: Hjax a lot of it really is random, but there are some things you can do
Hjax: like your slasher tricks?
blasterpoard: I would promote without problems (the depth1 bot promoted on the first try), but I wouldn't completely destroy the league
blasterpoard: the slasher tricks are just the simulation and eval
blasterpoard: emergent behavior
Yunus_3000: hey
Hjax: i wonder what is in your depth 1 that isnt in mine
Hjax: could be as simple as me needing better constants on my heuristic terms
Yunus_3000: has anyone ever seen the stackoverflow mainpage? xDD
jacek: hm?
Hjax: is there a preexisting param tuner somewhere
jacek: clop?
jacek: (not pony thing!)
Hjax: i mean an implementation
blasterpoard: Hjax https://www.codingame.com/replay/487237046 does this help with the question about difference between the bots?
blasterpoard: it might by my slasher line of sight calculations
Hjax: i have those, but i dont really take into account slasher state much
blasterpoard: well, my slasher heuristics are really good
Hjax: because if i say "its ok when the slasher is stunned" then depth 1 cant find its way away from the slasher if its in a hallway
Hjax: it will happily get itself into a no escape situation
Hjax: i saw (i think in your post mortem) the mention of precalculating the number of moves to escape los
blasterpoard: yes
blasterpoard: that's a part of it
Hjax: so i guess that adds some artificial depth to the depth 1 search
Hjax: because it will know if its trapping itself
Hjax: ok well, im convinced i need to work on my slasher heuristics at least
PedroMartine: Xd
itzblinkzy: @_bacali you share your code please?
GoogleJeff: +1, everyone please share your code!
GoogleJeff: don't be embarrassed, we are all terrible here :)
itzblinkzy: Indeed
itzblinkzy: I can always learn something from someone else.
hem123: is there something like a memory maximum?
hem123: somehow my matrix is being replaced/changed
Astrobytes: 768 MB
Astrobytes: https://www.codingame.com/faq
hem123: hmm should nothave reached that.
hem123: but somehow my list is getting changed
Astrobytes: Problem is most likely elsewhere ;)
AbouAmine: :)
hem123: well, I created a new variable stored it and debuged it and after some operation it is also changed yet I just created the variable to test
Hjax: legend tonight or i delete account /s
Astrobytes: take a few minutes break then re-read your code hem123
Astrobytes: lol Hjax
Astrobytes: Where you at currently?
Hjax: rank 4 gold
Astrobytes: oof, so close
Hjax: the boss is pretty beefy
Hjax: 2 points above rank 1
Astrobytes: I think it's eulers bot but nerfed
Astrobytes: iirc
Hjax: yeah he said it was a reduced depth version of his bot
Astrobytes: I made a start today, I opened VS and copied in the default code.
Hjax: decided your old bot is beyond redemption?
JBM: that's a start
Astrobytes: indeed
Sohsoh: problems are so easy, who makes them ??
Astrobytes: yeah Hjax, I managed to do something with it a while ago but it's... a mess
jacek: what problems?
JBM: i got many problems, but easiness ain't one
Astrobytes: J-ZBM
Hjax: trying to make your old code work is always a pain
Hjax: you are like.... what was i thinking
Astrobytes: ohhhhh yeah
MelodraMarco: Hi, I'm new here, I'm doing a test, can anyone tell me where the testcases are displayed?
Hjax: arent they just in the bottom middle of the ide?
MelodraMarco: Yeah, but let's say: i have a text that says choose the right temperature and choose the right temperature 2, complex test case, etc. do they have a description for themselves or they should be self-explainatory?
Hjax: if you hit the little button in the top right of the testcases window
Hjax: you can see the inputs and expected outputs if that helps
MelodraMarco: Aaah, got it. Damn, how didn't I see that. Ty :)
hem123: Hi guys, can anyone help me on the chess board analyzer? Somehow it seems that my checkboard list is changing without me calling it.
hem123: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/f2656759-1fb8-478b-8d0d-600fea2835ca
hem123: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/20ffe46a-1fc9-4b1e-9515-e126268cb694
hem123: challenge 7
hem123: or could it be that i somehow reach a limit?
hem123: seems to only occur when chess board is full. Yet I only have 3 lists w 64 constituents
jacek: do w and belegering rows point to the same object?
hem123: no they should not. The objects are similar
hem123: list of 8 lists with length 8 (chessboard).
hem123: have 1's and 0's for white and for black to determine if either of those win
hem123: but when the field gets crowded, all of a sudden both lists become the same it seems
hem123: (with crowded i mean a lot of chess pieces)
itzblinkzy: Kaikyu do you mind sharing please?
itzblinkzy: I'm here to learn.
itzblinkzy: :pensive:
jacek: w[i]=wt
belegering[i]=wt
jacek: if you change w[0][0], the belegering[0][0] will change as well
hem123: that should not be right
hem123: if i make a new list similar to wt it works
jacek: :no_mouth:
Kaikyu: @itzblinkzy of course, i will from now on
itzblinkzy: Thank you. :relaxed:
hem123: thanks jacek. But this is not normal behaviour right?
hem123: this should not happen correcT?
jacek: assigning row to 2d array can be messy in python
jacek: this is just shallow copy deepcopy thing
Lisker_the_slow: some one come 1v1
Lisker_the_slow: someone*
offeck: anyone wanna play clash of code?
itzblinkzy: send link Lisker_the_slow
itzblinkzy: and yeah im down
Zenoscave: JBM nice lambda calc
Zenoscave: will you be doing church enumeration later?
Zenoscave: seems to be based off ornithological logic ;)
JBM: not sure i see the orni link
JBM: glad you like
JBM: have you solved?
JBM: not totally ready for publi now
Zenoscave: not yet. just opened
JBM: i think i got a blog about it from some time ago
JBM: if you're into that
Zenoscave: orni in terms of your combinator naming
JBM: errr
Zenoscave: sure!!
JBM: wat?
Zenoscave: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Mock_a_Mockingbird
JBM: well that's (mostly) the point
JBM: taken a lok at the cover pic?
Zenoscave: I figured and Yeah I saw it nice hidden easter egg
JBM: a "connoisseur" thingy
JBM: can't get used to that spelling
JBM: how d'you people even utter that?
Zenoscave: Will you expand to evaluation of church numerals later?
Zenoscave: I say con-ih-sewer
JBM: there's absolutely nothing preventing that just now
JBM: stress on last?
JBM: well
Zenoscave: yes
JBM: on "SEWer"
Zenoscave: yup
JBM: well that's french-suonding enough
Zenoscave: I mean mapping of the the enumerations to more common digital schemes
JBM: please expansd
Zenoscave: input => /f/x.x : output => 0
input => /f/x.f: output => 1
etc.
Zenoscave: application of lambdas I guess is my point
Zenoscave: or is that eval? I always get them mixed up
JBM: it's the converse
JBM: haven't you seen the SICP cover? ;p
Zenoscave: once or twice ;)
Zenoscave: I prefer the little schemer
JBM: damn
JBM: that one's been on my list for like 20 years
JBM: how have i not come to it yet
Zenoscave: I've skimmed it not done a deep dive yet.
Zenoscave: I only had a library copy for a while
Zenoscave: my campus library was a gold mine for a bit
JBM: i think i've got an oreilly open invite from work
JBM: i should really at least pop the cover
Zenoscave: I agree!
JBM: the little schemer and lisp in small pieces
JBM: got on the list at the same time
Zenoscave: There's a newer 4th book in the schemer series. the Little Typer
Zenoscave: enough to make you giddy
JBM: don't think i heard off it
JBM: but indeed i can put it on the list on the name alone
Zenoscave: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Mock_a_Mockingbird
JBM: if it can make it pas pierce's work
JBM: yeeah i know of the bird
JBM: if the cover art wasn't enough
Zenoscave: I swear I can ^C ^V properly
Zenoscave: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/little-typer
JBM: dependent types no less
JBM: well that's not in C++ for another 20 yeats
JBM: will look into it as soon as i'm in bed
