SonicZedt: my brain is hurt
mzbear: Manchi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two%27s_complement
mzbear: also, signed integer overflow is undefined in c and c++, so you shouldn't rely on code working when a signed variable flips its sign
Kusum_R: anyone up?

esfes: hi where can i learn c++ on this site?
esfes: or c
esfes: i am interested in those languages
Kazuan: in every task on site, in left top corner of console is a combo box for choose a language try this
esfes: i can
Kazuan: you chan choose c or c++
esfes: but than i would fail like almost all challenges lol
Uljahn: if you mean to learn by practice then sure
Kazuan: oh do some beginner tutorials on youtube
Uljahn: ^
Kazuan: and come back
esfes: thanks
esfes: i would try it
Kazuan: ;)
Kazuan: and if you really beginner try maybe some easiest languages, like c#, java or python
esfes: I am intermediate at python
esfes: know a little java
esfes: and a little more c#
Kazuan: oh if you know some other languages then you should know what to do :P
esfes: I thought there is some kind of a fast learning on this site lol
Kazuan: actually there is a section "LEARN" in activities
Kazuan: i thought you have zero experience with programing, and you want to start on c/c++ :P
esfes: oh lol
ERRORR: *-*
ERRORR: -3-
esfes: is it possible to install packages for the python 3 challenges?
Uljahn: no, but you can ask on the forum to add them in the nearest language update
esfes: i need it for a challenge lol
Uljahn: there are numpy, scipy and pandas already
depthzer0: what packages do you want?
esfes: i just need it for the weekly challenge
esfes: the package name is shapely
Uljahn: i'd like to have numba, but expectations for it to be added are low :(
esfes: i heard numba can be used to speed up code
Uljahn: i tried it on my local PC, it's pretty easy to use and the boost is significant
esfes: can i ask what are your specs?
Uljahn: but it requires some compile overhead
Uljahn: specs?
esfes: what is your cpu, gpu, ram etc
Uljahn: nothing fancy, im not a dev or a pro coder
jacek: good morning
Mr.intro: good moring
marxal: good morning
TheAbyssWatcher: good morning
jacek: c-c-c-combo breaker
MetehanBayraktar: Ladro why didn't you share your code
MetehanBayraktar: do you know how can ı send private message to anyone /msg doesnt work
Rocky[KGF]: hii
Rocky[KGF]: What was going
Uljahn: code sharing is optional, also there are official bots which never share
Rocky[KGF]: i think code sharing is good because we get the equation or problem to how was it solution i think code sharing is not bad
jacek: its up to the code sharer
Rocky[KGF]: yeah jacek
MetehanBayraktar: I think it musn't be optional because this platform is learning platform I'm here to learn but sometimes no one is sharing their code unless ı say it so
Mr.intro: :|
Uljahn: MetehanBayraktar: learning doesn't mean spoonfeeding i guess
MSmits: MetehanBayraktar this is not strictly a learning platform
MSmits: that's just one of the things it does
MSmits: it's also a competitive platform
MSmits: we also have botgames, optimization arena's and contests. It is not even allowed to share your code there as it would ruin the competition.
MSmits: it wouldnt make sense in that light, to make it mandatory for clashes
MSmits: besides, plenty of people share their code in clashes. You dont have to see every solution to learn
MetehanBayraktar: Msmits you greatly explained your idea , and make me convinced but ı have to find a solution not to write everytime ""guys can you please share your codes ?"" sometimes 1 person from 8 people just share their code
Uljahn: if you learn from shared code then sharing is similar to tutoring/mentoring, so can we demand people to do it since it's free? just ask nicely and someone will help you
ZarthaxX: like Uljahn
MetehanBayraktar: thanks for your messages

TragicInit: hi
MSmits: you can autoshare cant you?
RoboStac: no, autoshare is only for puzzles
jacek: huh? you can not share puzzle solutions?
MSmits: ah, that may be a bad call on CG's part
MSmits: you could have autoshare off as a default
MSmits: but when you turn it on, you always share. Nothing wrong with that if it worked that way
YurkovAS: Can anyone help me find D&B referee?
MSmits: mmh it's probably on the forum. I never looked at it

MSmits: a classroom has just arrived
YurkovAS: eulerscheZahl thanks!
cooldude420: I apologize for my actions.
reCurse: Next time it's a ban
PatrickMcGinnisII: lol, :sweat_drops:
cooldude420: I do not think my kick was justified, but alright.
cooldude420: I hope you all have a nice day.
reCurse: Very low patience for school kids messing up the chat every day
jacek: schools these days
reCurse: Thankless job
MSmits: you havent had to kick any of mine yet though :)
MSmits: I have 6 of them doing CG projects
Astrobytes: 6 now? Impressive.
reCurse: Maybe they behave better in Netherlands, I don't know
jacek: whats the project? trolling CG chat?
MSmits: yeah 3 are doing game of drones, 1 uttt and 1 csb. the other one is still doing puzzles and enjoying that
eulerscheZahl: or just a bit older
MSmits: older mostly
reCurse: Little is known about their age
reCurse: Could be 17 acting like 12
reCurse: Who knows
MSmits: mine are 17-18
MSmits: these are my best coders i think though
ZarthaxX: smito gang
MSmits: the other ones opted for doing websites and such
MSmits: also cool, subject is AI
reCurse: Doing websites? What year is this again? :P
MSmits: do I use the wrong phrasology, or are you dissing website assignments
reCurse: Sounds very web 1.0
PatrickMcGinnisII: ZarthaxX wants to be jumped in to the Smits G squad. :P
ZarthaxX: :rofl:
MSmits: lol
MSmits: html/css is part of the curriculum, so it's ok if they want to use that as their last project
Astrobytes: tickers, midi files playing, ridiculous tiled background images, Comic Sans, that kinda thing? :P
reCurse: As long as you don't call that coding
MSmits: i dont
reCurse: Yes exactly Astrobytes, fellow connoisseur
Astrobytes: heh heh
MSmits: I have to teach html/css in a few months to a younger class
PatrickMcGinnisII: damn, who deleted my myspace page? ;)
ZarthaxX: boring :(
eulerscheZahl: i hate frontend design
Astrobytes: oh hey Zartho
MSmits: it's not my favorite subject, but it's ok
ZarthaxX: same toad
reCurse: I'm just wondering if there's a point to it now
ZarthaxX: hi astrobytolus
Astrobytes: nice!
MSmits: reCurse what is this skill replaced by. Just wondering
reCurse: Hmm
reCurse: Depends on the intended use
reCurse: It's just a tool right
therealbeef: are these havo or vwo students?
MSmits: hmtl/css is havo in this case, though they also learn on vwo
MSmits: the end year project i was talking about earlier is vwo
reCurse: :flag_nl:
ZarthaxX: what are those letters :rofl:
MSmits: havo and vwo are the highest level high school types
MSmits: vwo being the highest
MSmits: vwo means preparation for scientific education
reCurse: Oh I see
therealbeef: vwo aligns you for university, havo for 'applied science'
MSmits: havo means higher general education loosely translated
reCurse: I can draw parallels now
MSmits: therealbeef is correct
therealbeef: it makes sense for havo to do html; in their follow up schools they will likely do practical computer science like frontend stuff
MSmits: also havo is 5 years, ending at 17, vwo is 6 years ending at 18
MSmits: therealbeef a lot will also code in higher education though
PatrickMcGinnisII: ok, how many of you use wordpress?
MSmits: computer science at the university is actually less about coding than computer science at hbo
reCurse: Well to the original question, depends on the intended use
MSmits: in this case it's to teach them to think about how stuff should look and user interaction i guess.
reCurse: Back then it made sense because most websites were homemade
reCurse: Nowadays though...
reCurse: Hmm
MSmits: for internet security purposes it can also be useful to know some html at least. So you can check the source of a website and know what you're looking at
MSmits: just like it's useful to know some sql
therealbeef: i like hbo graduates; they dont ponder too much and just start coding stuff that works
MSmits: they're good at that
jacek: im good at coding without pondering
MSmits: you're also good at talking without pondering :P

DomiKo: :(
FurkanKrblt: heyyy
FurkanKrblt: what's going on
MSmits: you'll have to be more specific
MSmits: but hey
eulerscheZahl: if you want to make me feel awkward in real life, asking such a question is a valid option
MSmits: when someone asks you that, you can just say "life"
jacek: 'whats up' and you say 'sky'
MSmits: you can also say "stuff"
eulerscheZahl: but they ask things like "hey was geht?"
jacek: so geh
Astrobytes: Simple 'hallo' would do
Uljahn: Automaton2000: hey was geht?
Automaton2000: but hard to make a bot that is not in the mood
jacek: AutomatonNN are you in the mood?
AutomatonNN: design pattern
jacek: AutomatonNN so geh
AutomatonNN: sure doesnt have time to improve my bot and it doesn't work
Kal_Si: p
_Royale: eulerscheZahl: I'll probably break the rule and do some clash of code to get the "coding speed" certification, I hope you won't get mad ;-)
kovi: :o
jacek: :scream:
eulerscheZahl: i don't even care about the overall leaderboard anymore ;)
Astrobytes: Shocking.
eulerscheZahl: and i completed the quest map too
eulerscheZahl: but you only get my absolution if you play Tryangle catch
kovi: :thumbsup:
Westicles: I am still the one and only person to rate tryangle catch
eulerscheZahl: the website i called CodinGame, not RatinGame
jacek: you mean ClashGame
jacek: what else you can do here
Astrobytes: ClashNRate
Astrobytes: Paywalls and microtransactions soon no doubt.
eulerscheZahl: as that the new feature we might see yesterday?
eulerscheZahl: is*
struct: Isnt cg model supposed to be free?
Astrobytes: Only going by the fact they ask how much we'd be willing to pay for the feature
ZarthaxX: CG crypto
struct: I can understand them making other options like cg for work
Astrobytes: (haven't tried it out yet other than the demo)
Astrobytes: As long as it's kept away from this part of CG I'm cool.
struct: the think I liked the most
struct: is that the site 10x less laggy
Hrant_Matevosyan_1935: why I cant approwe or reject any contrbution?
ZarthaxX: struct is there still an IDE leak?
eulerscheZahl: how many clashes have you played so far Hrant_Matevosyan_1935?
ZarthaxX: Hrant_Matevosyan_1935 maybe your lvl
ZarthaxX: ah #clashes restriction? lol
Hrant_Matevosyan_1935: more than 200
eulerscheZahl: also: does it say WIP in the title?
Hrant_Matevosyan_1935: no
Astrobytes: link please

TBali: "but they ask things like "hey was geht?"
I thought it is "wie geht's?" Are both correct?
eulerscheZahl: "wie geht's" => how are you
"was geht" => what's up
Westicles: why does clash say join a 5min coding battle when it is 15min?
TBali: I see.
Fun fact: in Hungarian there is a (bit old-style) word: "vigéc".
It means door-to-door salesman.
And comes from the German term pronounced... :-)
eulerscheZahl: in the past there were different clash modes, from 5 to 15min
TBali: Maybe that was the salesman conversation starter in the late 19th century
eulerscheZahl: then they moved the 15min clashes to the puzzle section and only kept the easy ones
eulerscheZahl: so they are supposed to be easy enough for 5min but you get 15
Westicles: Aha, okay thanks
eulerscheZahl: and my prof once told a story of a colleague of him writing a book
eulerscheZahl: about popular problems like the traveling salesman problem
eulerscheZahl: publisher didn't like it, renamed to traveling salesperson
reCurse: I bet someone went to bed all happy of having made the world a better place that day
TBali: but with the advent of AI, it has to be traveling sales-entity
Westicles: The world is very soft. The next big war is going to be crazy
TBali: And "man-in-the-middle" attacks are supposed to be called "person-in-the-middle attacks".
reCurse: Debatable if it's necessary when used in a negative connotation
eulerscheZahl: i think when in negative context, the male version can stay
Astrobytes: heh
TBali: but who knows, if a lady is in the middle, why the shall we bother with countermeasures? :-)
BlaiseEbuth: Why ? Can't women be malicious ? :smirk:
Westicles: The are renaming half the theorems Rawomanujan
TBali: I did not mean they cannot be a good hacker. I meant some more dirty
RicoChr: oh. i didn't see that one comming
Westicles: that's what he or she said
Astrobytes: *they
TBali: Anyone solved https://www.codingame.com/training/medium/ways-to-make-change
TBali: ?
Westicles: yes
Westicles: should be easy
TBali: My solution is too slow for the last test.
eulerscheZahl: i'll try to speedsolve it
TBali: Has to come up with something
TBali: maybe memoization :-)
RicoChr: Does someone want to debug my code? this is crazy.... Why does my python function freeze way before executing an assingment of a global variable and doesn't freeze if i later dont do that assingment?
Uljahn: is it some puzzle?
TBali: I pass it to python gurus here
Uljahn: or just code unrelated to CG?
RicoChr: It is the Othello Bot
RicoChr: so yes, inside CG
RoboStac: do you think it's freezing because some debug isn't being printed?
RicoChr: yes
SadDev: Hi
RoboStac: does your print statement have flush=True ?
RicoChr: and i loose due to timeout.
RicoChr: no
BlaiseEbuth: Hi :cry:
RoboStac: why not? - the instructions clearly tell you to put that for debug
RicoChr: thanks. i might have missed the instructions.
BlaiseEbuth: Who read instructions seriously...
RicoChr: thanks Blaise. :D
RoboStac: (basically python buffers print statements a lot, so if you don't flush you don't get all your debug if you timeout)
SadDev: I seem to not really understand how to use the site. Any pointers?
RicoChr: Yes. I understand it. Thank you very much RoboStac :) And that non-flushing-buffer also seems to prevent my standard output later in the program. and thats why i loose due to timeout

JLukeSkywalker: what are the easiest 2 bot multiplayers for beginners?
JLukeSkywalker: was thinking GoD, but thought the multi-agent might be a bit hard
DomiKo: Tron is very simple
jacek: oware?
JLukeSkywalker: tried oware, got 1st in wood 2, but cant beat the boss at all
MSmits: ultimate tic tac toe is easiest probably
MSmits: from the board games that is
MSmits: otherwise csb maybe
YurkovAS: JLukeSkywalker for oware you need use minimax (alpha-beta) or mcts
YurkovAS: and evaluation function like this http://www.joansala.com/auale/strategy/
daniel_the_tank: I am having issues getting my cart to slow down when approaching the next check point
daniel_the_tank: I tried a while loop, in java, but I keep getting errors or it doesn't work.
JLukeSkywalker: daniel, for csb?
JLukeSkywalker: for csb I would base your thrust off the distance to the next point
JLukeSkywalker: just as a simple solution
JLukeSkywalker: thrust = int(next_checkpoint_dist/30)
JLukeSkywalker: legit just this and some additional angle calculations got me to silver
daniel_the_tank: yea, thanks
daniel_the_tank: That is a good idea.
daniel_the_tank: I guess I am not sure where to put it.
daniel_the_tank: eh, I have been messing with this code for a good while. Best to try something else for a bit
jacek: :soccer:
DomiKo: Hypersonic is so broken
DomiKo: that wall of clones is so huge
MSmits: if you get past it, the wall wont bother you anymore :)
MSmits: you need 2 things to reliably get past it
MSmits: 1) perfect beamsearch to arbitrary depth
MSmits: 2) some basic survival
MSmits: 2nd is to avoid getting trapped easily
DomiKo: that what people say
MSmits: my beamsearch is on par with others using only 5-10 ms
DomiKo: is on par?
MSmits: the rest of the time is wasted with a really poor minimax
MSmits: yeah same score early on with boxes
MSmits: mostly i lose cuz they kill me or something
MSmits: it's not hard to do a perfect early game really
MSmits: performance-wise... still requires a lot of code though
DomiKo: yeah it's pretty easy
DomiKo: like making bomb explode in O(4) is really nice
MSmits: my beamsearch is really crazy, I think I am the only one that did this
MSmits: a single state is not a single position for your bomber guy
MSmits: I have a "position map"
MSmits: which is all the positions it can be, from the last map change
MSmits: mapchanges being a bomb placement or item pickup
MSmits: a bomb exploding clears a part of the position map, meaning all those states are dead
MSmits: so i get to use 1 state for many position states
DomiKo: interesing approach
MSmits: works fine, saves some hashing i guess
MSmits: but it makes it a little harder to combine with survival code
MSmits: I also did a 128 bit bitmap for each thing
MSmits: bombs/boxes/items/positions
DomiKo: yeah me too
MSmits: i have a really weird xy to bit conversion
DomiKo: I have vertical and horizontal conversion
MSmits: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/ff5b6ad2-d097-44b9-8e0d-915358a45e50
DomiKo: ohh wow
MSmits: ye it's weird :P
DomiKo: yes it is
MSmits: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/6493e92c-3fed-4723-8be5-33b370347baa
MSmits: i have bad use of pointers, this was when i just learned C++
MSmits: 2 years ago
MSmits: should have just done references
DomiKo: that was 2 years ago so
MSmits: ye
MSmits: I dont think i can work on this bot without completely rewriting it
MSmits: 2700 lines :P
DomiKo: I'm at 1K :/
MSmits: i probably have a lot of dumb duplicate code and stuff that could have been done simpler
DomiKo: Should I predict opponent or just avoid traps?
DomiKo: I thought that predicting could be better, but know I don't know :(
DomiKo: It's like every verrsion of my code hit the wall in 120th place :/
MSmits: what you can do is simulate what happens if every player drops a bomb
DomiKo: what
MSmits: see if you get trapped
DomiKo: I had wrong constant in my code The whole time :scream:
DomiKo: I tried that too
DomiKo: But then my bot got "scared"
MSmits: i think euler just lets players drop a bomb everywhere at once
MSmits: so they drop 5 bombs
MSmits: seems to work ok
MSmits: i think I instead do a depth 2 minimax with bombs
MSmits: oh, no think i got up to 3 or 4
MSmits: I just overwrite my beamsearch result if the minimax comes up with kills or forced survival
MSmits: but it's really crappily coded, almost certainly has bugs
DomiKo: so you are scared of opponent just trying to kill you?
DomiKo: OK
MSmits: yeah it's paranoid
DomiKo: I passed top100
DomiKo: I had wrong constant :(((
MSmits: it happens
DomiKo: I'm currently trying to find what will opponent do with beamsearch ofc
DomiKo: and then check if he can additionally kill me
kovi: heuristic in bt is .... weird. yesterday i got some lucky ones, today none
MSmits: you mean lucky finds for features?
kovi: yeah
MSmits: i have no clue how to do BT
kovi: im really tempted to do nn
MSmits: the problem is that the frontline for your pawns is a larger construct. Just considering your nearest neighbors is a poor substitute for a NN eval
kovi: with todays failed attempts
MSmits: i also think minimax-type algos fair better here
MSmits: otherwise mine and darkhorse's bots would have done far better
kovi: i think its a mix
MSmits: we both used mcts
MSmits: I can normally always come near trictrac and other minimax users, but here it's useless
MSmits: in some games, both approaches do well, but in others, one of the two really outperforms
MSmits: i think checkers, bt, chess are minimax games
MSmits: i have it on my list to convert bt to minimax
MSmits: of course it might also be i just failed eval completely...
kovi: makes sense. clearly there are strong moves and many weak one. but here we need depth as well
maybe i should reconsider...but now i have a good mcts hammer...so everything is nail...
DomiKo: chess is about minmax and pruning :(
kovi: play tryangle
DomiKo: I will
DomiKo: but know uni :(
DomiKo: exams are coming :(
MSmits: Studying an hour a day, keeps the low grade away
DomiKo: For me it's like 8H daily :/
MSmits: sucks
DomiKo: I got too many final projects :(
Westicles: I always learned the entire semester the day before the final, then forgot it all the day after
MSmits: I'm doing a functional programming class starting of friday. This will have a test in about 2 months
MSmits: looking forward to it.... but then i again i am not a full-time student
MSmits: I was a really faithful student in high school, always doing homework and all that
MSmits: then at uni, i skipped every class i could and always crammed at the last moment
DomiKo: every one?
DomiKo: that's uni magic
DomiKo: The key is to pass every class
MSmits: I remember for my first quantum mechanics test, I studied for 24 hrs straight, skipped a nights sleep, test was at 10 am and I passed it :P
MSmits: thats after doing nothing at all before that
Westicles: that is exactly what I did. never went to class
MSmits: I always planned on going
DomiKo: Now I miss going to classes :(
MSmits: but morning smits did not agree with day-before-smits
Westicles: If you study too much, it goes into long term memory. You don't want to fill your brain with nonsense
MSmits: lol
MSmits: I really feel like I missed out on a lot doing it this way, i am not particularly proud or happy about it
MSmits: but at that time i was just not mature enough to be a good student
MSmits: I think when you've been in school for 14 years and then go to uni, you're just fed up with school and try to minimize it
MSmits: but when you've had a job for 10-15 yrs it can be fun again to go back
Westicles: Yeah, I've always thought it would be fun to go back and do a math major. But I'm sure I'd hit real analysis and be sleeping through classes all over again
MSmits: have to pick something you like
MSmits: I like coding more than physics
MSmits: so doing classes like AI, functional programmin and game design are really cool
DomiKo: My main thought about studies is that you always have not enough time.
MSmits: depends on what else is in your week ofc
DomiKo: So when you are older maybe you feel like you have that time.
MSmits: depends.. I specifically made the choice not to work full time and accept a lower salary
MSmits: my normal work-time is 75% of max
MSmits: so 30 hrs a week
ArteXa: MSmits, what about money xD?
MSmits: if you do the kind of work people do who have a university education and you need to work full time to make do, you're doing something wrong
MSmits: at least in my country
MSmits: people just want to go on expensive vacations 3 times a year, own 2 cars , have a large house
MSmits: yeah... then you need to work full time
MSmits: i dont need that :poop:
MSmits: time > money and luxury
ZarthaxX: you mean bots time
ZarthaxX: :P
MSmits: sure :)
ZarthaxX: or CG time
Angecide: are there any ways to get rid of modulo operation by using intrinsics or any other c++ hacks?
MSmits: btw I admit in many jobs you dont have the choice to work part time, i am lucky enough to do have that choice
ZarthaxX: why intrinsics lol
Angecide: i heard it was fast
ZarthaxX: intrisncis do parallel stuff
ZarthaxX: nothing to do with the operation itself
Angecide: parallel modulo sounds fast
MSmits: Angecide if modulo can be sped up some way, you can be sure the compiler figures it out for you
ZarthaxX: what is the thing do you need to do?
Angecide: i need to do a % b
ZarthaxX: you cant parallelize one a%b
ZarthaxX: you want to do multiple? im confused
ZarthaxX: is b a power of 2?
MSmits: for example, if you do a a%b and a a/b which is a common combination, the compiler will figure out to optimize it
Angecide: oh, I can just assume it is, I guess it's still random
ZarthaxX: wdym?
ZarthaxX: is b is a power of 2, then you can optimize the modulo
ZarthaxX: a%2^k = a&(2^k - 1)
Perlorodka: enjoying the clashes, Westicles?
ZarthaxX: that's if a is positive i think
MSmits: but if b is a constant and the compiler knows it, it will already have optimized it right?
ZarthaxX: i didnt think of a being negative
ZarthaxX: idk, sometimes i didnt see it happen
Westicles: Perlorodka, yes but I'm on a losing streak
ZarthaxX: i actually saw a speed improvement even with optim on
MSmits: hmm ok
Angecide: ye that should work, I just need to convert a random number down to a range, I can scale the range to be power of 2 if necessary I think
ZarthaxX: you are talking about using ofast o3
ZarthaxX: Angecide yup
ZarthaxX: divisin is the same trick btw, and multiplication
ZarthaxX: if a is positive
ZarthaxX: a*2^k = a<<k
a/2^k = a>>k
Perlorodka: Westicles... always abusing the system
3ataja: what is he doing? i don't get it
3ataja: *i don't get why he's doing what he's doing
YurkovAS: DomiKo i'm stuck in hypersonic at ~120 place with bug: in each cell store only one bomb instead 1-4. May be it help you.
Westicles: 3ataja, I don't like playing clashes but I like writing contribs. you need 300 for mod rights
DomiKo: YurkovAS thank you
DomiKo: I believe I do it in correct way
DomiKo: now I have code which could be top20
DomiKo: and could be top150
DomiKo: and I don't really know why
struct: whic hgame DomiKo?
DomiKo: Hypersonic :(
struct: its normal to be within that rank
DomiKo: 10-150?
struct: Since that is the place of the copy pasted bots
struct: yes
MSmits: 20-100 i think
DomiKo: 130+ 100%
DomiKo: I can pick players from rank 120 that are CLONES
struct: yeah
DomiKo: It's so frustrating
DomiKo: When I can't resubmit like normal
DomiKo: but I have to spam it
DomiKo: to get first 10 wins
MSmits: DomiKo dont do that
MSmits: just setup a cg bench vs 1 clone
MSmits: and dont submit at all
DomiKo: if I get 1 vs 1 its OK
MSmits: if you can get a good winrate vs 1 clone, you can do it vs all
DomiKo: but in 1 vs 1 vs 1 mode
MSmits: then add 3 clones
DomiKo: that's ...
MSmits: and do different combinations
YurkovAS: And has "ugly bomb escaping" check in depth 1 for each new state: opponents place bombs in each dirs and start beam search to depth 9.
sylq: hi people,
Do I need to wait for the end of a clash of code after beating it?
BlaiseEbuth: Nope.
sylq: ok thanks! :thumbsup:
Dwoth: Anyone notice the server being laggy?
VladimirAngelov: It always gets like that around this time apparently
Wontonimo: server reboots, cuz it's 1:30 in France
TheSunnyCastle_ee5e: h
Wontonimo: i
LegendaryStone: westicles why you dont complete any clashes?
HenryZhang: westicles is a bot
HenryZhang: he joins every battle
SonicZedt: my brain is hurt
