PhantomzBack: hoi
WaterCooledStopwatchMachine_daff: hi
Alshock: hellow
stanleyjames: whatsup
Papaver: Hello
NexTronick: anyone doing the Power of Thor -episode 1?
NexTronick: or am i too noob and find it scarry ahhaa
Passifi: What are you struggling with specificly ?
NexTronick: I am not use if i get the question
NexTronick: for example if the thor is at (3,8) and i move thor to S then will it be (3,9)?
NexTronick: (x,y)?
Passifi: well yes S means the y value gets incremented by 1
NexTronick: n mean -1?
NexTronick: N mean -1?
Passifi: yes
Passifi: W is x -1 E is x+1
Ngochung_02: Hello
Passifi: with that it should be solvable :)
NexTronick: oh thank you Passifi
3ataja: am i the only one whose Esc key not working in the vim edit mode??
3ataja: it says normal mode but every key i hit gets inserted
Z0ltan892: Hello
blinkyu: Yeah vim mode is not working for me either
Wontonimo: Most CG puzzles have a coordinate system such that (0,0) is the top left, positive X goes to the right, and positive Y goes down. It's actually a CG general rule
Wontonimo: That makes (0,0) on a map the North West corner. East is +X, and South is +Y
Simann: hey! is there a c++ square root function?
darkhorse64: sqrt
Simann: oh yea wtf
Simann: it doesnt work
JamesModifiedGames: lol
Simann: well whatever
darkhorse64: it does #include <cmath>
Simann: oh... yea i forgot includes ty
AnonymousCodess: im new to codeing
AnonymousCodess: its fun but kinda hard
JamesModifiedGames: I understand that AninymousCodes
AnonymousCodess: idk what to do for this code
jacek: AutomatoNN what to do? what to do?
jacek: ><
Simann: lol then go to something simpler and then try what you are doing again later
JamesModifiedGames: Go to the practice, If you know basic javascript, you should be able to get a jist of what to do.
AnonymousCodess: the thing is i just started today
AnonymousCodess: so thats why
Simann: :joy:
AnonymousCodess: what there is a first time for everything
Simann: one more reason to go go do more basic stuff
AnonymousCodess: thats what im gonna do
AnonymousCodess: im surprized this is free
JamesModifiedGames: Well here https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming
JamesModifiedGames: Use this to learn what to do
JLukeSkywalker: ew
AnonymousCodess: no i like it free
AnonymousCodess: i use dis
JamesModifiedGames: Khan academy is free
AnonymousCodess: ...
JLukeSkywalker: but gross
AnonymousCodess: imma use this one
JamesModifiedGames: What khan
JamesModifiedGames: luke
JLukeSkywalker: coming from someone who teaches programming, find a cool, simple coding project you think is fun, pick a language, and code it. Use lots of google
JLukeSkywalker: so much better than a course
JamesModifiedGames: Hey, it worked for me lol. Or if anything anonymousCodes, go to codecombat.com, that uses java script and python mainly but it stiil teaches the basic with games.
Simann: I agree with that JLuke
JamesModifiedGames: True
JamesModifiedGames: I learn better from courses, that's just me then.
JLukeSkywalker: yeah, there are definitely people on both sides
JamesModifiedGames: Agreed.
JLukeSkywalker: personally I was never able to learn coding from a course
Simann: making either external or internal game hacks and mods is a very good practise
JLukeSkywalker: teach my courses fully project based other than things like variables and basic i/o
WelloHorld: HELLO MODS
JLukeSkywalker: ^^ good name
WelloHorld: lol :joy:
MasterCoderxD: i just wrote my own programming language :grinning:
JLukeSkywalker: mice! what is unique about it? and what is the goal of using it?
MasterCoderxD: It's basically for mathematical use
MasterCoderxD: it has BASIC syntax
MasterCoderxD: It's hella fast
JLukeSkywalker: compiled?
MasterCoderxD: yeah
JLukeSkywalker: what did you write the compiler in?
JamesModifiedGames: This is the most active the chat has been since I have been on here. lol
Also that's reall cool MasterCoder.
MasterCoderxD: C
JamesModifiedGames: Really*
MasterCoderxD: thanks James
JLukeSkywalker: nice, i did something similar with c a while back for the repl.it language challenge
JamesModifiedGames: No problem
Astrobytes: JamesModifiedGames: it's usually a little more active, I for one have been taking a little break recently.
JLukeSkywalker: wasnt a math language though
JamesModifiedGames: Ahhhh, makes sense
MasterCoderxD: ohkkk
MasterCoderxD: I am only 16 btw
MasterCoderxD: :joy:
JamesModifiedGames: I'm going to take a educated guess and say that your text is pink becuse of you being a mod. just like discord?
MasterCoderxD: mine?
JLukeSkywalker: its great that you are using lower level languages like c, thats how I started out
Astrobytes: No, if you tag anyone by name it shows up red for you JamesModifiedGames
JamesModifiedGames: Don't make me feel bad. I'm 17 and can barely do a loop
JLukeSkywalker: astros was red/pink bc he did urName:
Astrobytes: ^
MasterCoderxD: actually, my main language is python and JS JLuke
JLukeSkywalker: like an @
JamesModifiedGames: Oh, that's neat.
AnonymousCodess: okay i hat khan academy its just no
AnonymousCodess: hate*
Astrobytes: Never been a fan of the Khan Academy format tbh.
AnonymousCodess: me neither
AnonymousCodess: i find it kinda hard smh
MasterCoderxD: oh
AnonymousCodess: any codeing website is hard for beginers tho
Astrobytes: Well yeah. Start slow, with the absolute basics.
JamesModifiedGames: Try codecombat.com
JLukeSkywalker: whenever I want to learn a new language I just make tic-tac-to with ai and hangman and google until it works
JamesModifiedGames: Now that's basics
AnonymousCodess: okay
MasterCoderxD: any highschoolers here? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
AnonymousCodess: oh code combat is easy looking
JLukeSkywalker: fortran was probably my worst experience making hangman
MasterCoderxD: :joy:
Astrobytes: ew, the very thought :D
JamesModifiedGames: Yeah me
JLukeSkywalker: hey, forced me to learn it
MasterCoderxD: James u r in school?
Astrobytes: Oh yeah, I get your strategy. It works for sure. Just fortran is... it's fortran.
JLukeSkywalker: ^^
JamesModifiedGames: Wait, I'm learning about dorthy Vaughan from NASA, and that was here first codeing language, FORTRAN
JamesModifiedGames: Yeah right now MsterCoder
JLukeSkywalker: its still used for doing math for space stuffs
JLukeSkywalker: very fast
Astrobytes: fortran is still widely used in scientific and mathematical applications, and not just legacy code either
JamesModifiedGames: I learned that too.
JLukeSkywalker: back in college had to write some fortran for a study they were doing on black holes, was super cool
JamesModifiedGames: Yeah i'm still in school MasterCoder
MasterCoderxD: alright
JamesModifiedGames: Why?
JamesModifiedGames: Never mind
JamesModifiedGames: Simann, I just realized that you had pepe as your profile picture.
MasterCoderxD: hey
MasterCoderxD: i hope this section is as active like this always
JLukeSkywalker: just depends on the time of day
Astrobytes: Depends. A lot of use are at work.
Astrobytes: *us
JLukeSkywalker: usually even if people arent talking, they will still answer questions if you ask chat
Astrobytes: Be patient though.
JamesModifiedGames: It's weird though, to see all of the activeness.
Astrobytes: You should see it during a competition.
MasterCoderxD: yeah, i am just saying
JamesModifiedGames: Oh god, I don't think I could read fast enough.
Astrobytes: Well, it doesn't go away if you don't close the window, and we do have a chat log too.
Astrobytes: So you can catch up.
JamesModifiedGames: Yeah true
JamesModifiedGames: Well then I hope Ican tye fast enough
JamesModifiedGames: And speel
Astrobytes: lol
JamesModifiedGames: I can't even spell spell
JamesModifiedGames: 54 words per minute is not fast enough.
Astrobytes: Typing correctly > typing fast
JamesModifiedGames: Yeah that is true
MasterCoderxD: I just won a clash :grinning:
MasterCoderxD: K gotta go
JamesModifiedGames: I got 54 speed and sometimes a 89-93% accuracy.
MasterCoderxD: byeee
Astrobytes: gg, cya
JLukeSkywalker: gz, cya
JamesModifiedGames: BYEEE
MasterCoderxD: cya'all
AntiSquid: bye
JamesModifiedGames: Fun fact, the creators of borderlands are graduates of full sail university. (That's where I'm going.)
ProgrammerDog: lo
ProgrammerDog: lol
ProgrammerDog: what's
Scarfield: so you are making the next borderlands game?
Astrobytes: Scarflogic
Scarfield: AstroScyte
Scarfield: AssumptionField could be my new nick though
Astrobytes: InferField
Scarfield: xD nice
Scarfield: bit boarding chess without stealing from the wide web is harder than i assumed, joining the chess arena ChesstroBytes?
Astrobytes: That's the way to learn though!
Astrobytes: And yeah, some point soon I hope
Astrobytes: Still got to finish my Fireworks bot, and test a few contributions
Scarfield: yea, i usually do so, than after check where i went wrong and what to improve. Nice, im curious to see how difficult it is to make a decent bot for chess. a friend already challenged my non existing bot xD
Astrobytes: The good thing is that there is a wealth of er, material, out there to learn from.
Astrobytes: It's more difficult in this case since you can't rely on opening books so much like a regular chess engine
Scarfield: yea, thats what i like about it, those pesky opening books :p
Astrobytes: Yeah, much more pure this way
Scarfield: sure! i get the challenge of creating and encoding the opening books. but since i never made one, i prefer a game without them :)
Astrobytes: Yeah, it's all about what you want to get out of writing the bot I guess. More fun doing books for some, not the case for others.
Non-bookable games are Anti-Smits :D
Scarfield: but there are some poor csgo newbs that needs to be taught a lesson gtg :)
Astrobytes: hahaha, cya later
Scarfield: cya
ejkat19: peen
Amalgamus: Hi, in c++
Amalgamus: &objectInstance is the same as a methode of the object returning *this, right?
Amalgamus: in both cases i get the adress?
KiwiTae: &o is an address , *o is a value
Amalgamus: so *this is the object
Amalgamus: and this is the adress of the object
KiwiTae: yes i guess ><
Amalgamus: thank's
PatrickMcGinnisII: gheesh, OneWay City took me 9 months to solve
PatrickMcGinnisII: smh
PatrickMcGinnisII: i guess php now includes bc functions
Astrobytes: bc = Before Computing? PHP is movin' on up! :P
PatrickMcGinnisII: well cg doesn't support bigInteger or GMP, but does support bc now apparently
PatrickMcGinnisII: for php that is
SugarfreeTX: i
TBali: BC Math library is included (but GMP not afair). I also used it for Oneway city, but also for Polydivisible number and Gravity Centrifuge tuning.
PatrickMcGinnisII: TBali yea i've had issues with many puzzles because of 'limitations'. I don't think bcmath used to be included ... of course I'm going back a few years. I believe i tried it 9 months ago and it didn't work
TBali: My oldest CG code featuring it is dated 2019. August.
MSmits: I'm just impressed you know so many puzzles by name
PatrickMcGinnisII: well alrighty then, i guess I've been behind the 'times'
PatrickMcGinnisII: i did 2 puzzles today, i should probably quit and cook dinner
TBali: search *.php files in local folder for 'bcadd' did the trick.
TBali: I keep all my solutions also offline.
MSmits: oh, I just do that for optims and bots
MSmits: but then again i never did very many hard puzzles
TBali: Searching for some similar puzzles can save me some time. Backtracking, floodfill, prime faxctorization, etc does not need to be rewritten from scratch every time.
MSmits: true
MSmits: reading what you say almost makes me think you are a Solution Manager
Astrobytes: Whatever that means... :P
PatrickMcGinnisII: glhf
MSmits: :)
TBali: haha, we made this up because sales is too pejorative in the 'consultative selling' business
Astrobytes: Heh heh heh, not wrong.
MSmits: I see
MSmits: I'm totally hooked to uttt again =/ Not sure who is primarily to blame, but too many people were talking about it
TBali: sales, tech-presales, and marketing is my responsibility but not sw delivery.
Astrobytes: MSmits: You can only truly blame yourself
MSmits: that suggests I am in control
Astrobytes: Blame your mind
TBali: my bot surely does not hurt yours
MSmits: I dunno, maybe your bot plays moves mine won't even consider
TBali: a peaceful introvert bot
MSmits: and then it's like, oh nooes, what's this -CRASH-
Astrobytes: Based on a true story?
MSmits: well let's just say i have had bot versions that pruned too much
Astrobytes: Ah right
TBali: Spring will come, and the pruned vibes will grow again
MSmits: it's always fixable by just doing a full expansion at the root , but you know how it goes. You want to get all your ideas out fast and test too much at once
MSmits: pruned vibes?
Astrobytes: lol yes
Astrobytes: *yes and lol rather
Astrobytes: Think that was supposed to be vines
MSmits: who knows
Astrobytes: Possibly pruned vibes come from prune arrays
MSmits: ahh yes
TBali: :)
MSmits: so you're just gonna leave us wondering
MSmits: cruel
MSmits: https://fi.pinterest.com/pin/71072500356796793/?amp_client_id=CLIENT_ID(_)&mweb_unauth_id=%7B%7Bdefault.session%7D%7D&_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffi.pinterest.com%2Famp%2Fpin%2F71072500356796793%2F&from_amp_pin_page=true
MSmits: i found this
MSmits: I think either pruned vibes is a thing or this person made the same typo
Astrobytes: :rofl:
TBali: We hade some real vibe pruner in 2020. 2021 shall be year of blossom
TBali: Is there an algorithm for that?
Astrobytes: ceg is your man for all things prune-related
Spartanreaper2: hi
Astrobytes: Anyway, I'm out for tonight guys. Gn and cya later
TBali: gn
Nikeleos: Good night
Spartanreaper2: what the hell is a php
MSmits: gn
MSmits: very intelagent question
TBali: php - Programmers' Hell and Paradise
TBali: you can choose 1
MSmits: oh missed that, gn Astrobytes
caciuleanuciprian: is the website slow for anyone else?
MSmits: it's always slow at this time, will be over soon
MSmits: they do some calculation
caciuleanuciprian: cool
caciuleanuciprian: any java tips for landing an internship?
MSmits: not me sorry
Wontonimo: how's your java skilz?
Wontonimo: Hey @MSmits reCurse suggested I not bother him and instead hit you up for C++ UTTT info. I got no questions, but thought I'd use that as an excuse to say hi.
Wontonimo: in other news ... anyone else lacking AVX2 support on their mac :(
Wontonimo: (nothing to do with UTTT and bit boards ... no ... definitely ... okay, maybe a little)
Wontonimo: hmm ... okay, now I'm stumped. __builtin_cpu_supports("avx2") returns true ... yet __m128i isn't supported
karliso: Use __m256i?
Wontonimo: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/f3063371-9374-436f-a02d-23bed0b6fb77
Wontonimo: thanks @karliso! naw, just turns out I'm dumb about imports
MSmits: Wontonimo hi
MSmits: ask me anything, but going to bed soon so better do it quick :)
MSmits: also "avx2"doesn't include _m128i
MSmits: but avx does
MSmits: import both :)
Damderiam: I'm trying to do Coders Strike Back in Python, but no matter what I do it gives me "not in a function" error and I have no idea why. This error seems to be unique to Codingame.
Damderiam: And yes I've tried putting my code in a function.
MSmits: it's definitely not unique to CG and you definitely made a python booboo :0
MSmits: share the code and i can see if i can spot it
Wontonimo: I was going to offer the same, and I'm up for a while. Python is definitely my strong suit
MSmits: you do it
MSmits: i need sleep :)
Wontonimo: got it
MSmits: gn and ask me about uttt stuff friday to sunday, i will have more time
Wontonimo: cool! thanks
ZarthaxX: Wontonimo you can emulate AVX in your mac if you lack it
Wontonimo: thanks!
Wontonimo: looks like i've got it, but frankly it seems crazy slow. making a lookup table with 512 values is about 4 times faster than my macs avx op.
Wontonimo: not all that surprised now that I calculated that it is only 512 x16bits in the cache which can easily fit in the L1. I thought this would be a main memory (across the bus) hit ...
Wontonimo: 512 is almost small enough to fit on the registers ... well, not quite
Wontonimo: i'm way over thinking this and way over engineering. gotta just get version 1 up and running
ZarthaxX: idk what is your avx op about anyway
ZarthaxX: but cache may beat you, although that could change when testing the whole code
ZarthaxX: as cache stuff is lost
Wontonimo: the cached values are computed at startup, and on my local takes less than 0.002 sec to compute, only needs to be computed once, and will more than make up for the loss in the future rounds where only 0.1 sec is available
ZarthaxX: i meant that cached values may be taken out from cache
ZarthaxX: as there are other lookups from memory
ZarthaxX: still, i dont know hwo complex is the avx code for that
Wontonimo: oh, right. yes, of course. there is that.
Wontonimo: and it will if I am successful in hitting 100k rollouts
YongJing: im getting "Python 3 language assist interupted", anyone knows whats going on?
Wontonimo: thanks for the reminder @ZarthaxX . I'll keep that in my back pocket
Wontonimo: @YongJing - save your work and try restarting freshing your browser
YongJing: okay will try, thanks!
ZarthaxX: yw :)
ZarthaxX: you could try to check the system as a whole for 1 turn, instead of the part you change
ZarthaxX: fix X rollouts and check
PhantomzBack: hoi
