MasterCoderxD: not me bro, but i wanna try it
DaBestest: I've done like hackthissite basic stuff, but nothing other than that...
Saad-py: ohhhhhhhhhhh
Saad-py: Hi sup DaBastest
Saad-py: Remember me
Sayach8: how long does it generally take for a clash of code contribution to get accepted or rejected?
Saad-py: idk
Uljahn: less than a month, why do you care?
Sayach8: submitted my first contribution. so was wondering.
Uljahn: clash approvement process is pretty wild and low-effort most of the time, so don't keep expectations high
Sayach8: ok. Thanks.
Saad-py: Well how do I contribute
Saad-py: do I need to pay
Saad-py: or is it free
jacek: you pay with your soul
Saad-py: lol
MSmits: best way to spend it imho
jacek: soul for a clash?
MSmits: nah everything but that
MSmits: so i spent a day trying to fit parameters for a new random rollout and it was doing somewhat poorly (-5% WR). turns out I was always picking the first empty move on the miniboard =/
MSmits: I can't believe this wasn't worse than that
MSmits: just -5% ...
MSmits: ohh, maybe it was because i only did this on a free move, limited damage
Westicles: Sorry Sayach8, it looked like you put a lot of work into that
Sayach8: yes
Sayach8: but turned out that someone came up with a similar idea
Westicles: It was really identical, even the other solution worked for yours
Sayach8: btw is there any way to know if there exists a similar solution?
Sayach8: i understand
Westicles: You can look through here
Westicles: https://eulerschezahl.herokuapp.com/codingame/puzzles/
Sayach8: ok. thanks. needed this very much :relaxed:
jacek: stupid clobber, it's so unnable
jacek: MSmits might like clobber. there is many endgames to calculate and store
MSmits: cool
jacek: so yeah, a math :unamused:
GiorgosGiorgakis: hi guys
Wontonimo: hello there internet person
IamQuan: hi :))
jacek: ohai
UnnamedCodinGamer: when using bit boards to represent game states is there a way to get the "from" cell without iterating over each bit?
UnnamedCodinGamer: I am looking at clobber at the moment
jacek: dunno. im iterating
UnnamedCodinGamer: hm
UnnamedCodinGamer: i tried iterating over bits for the same reason trying breakthrough
UnnamedCodinGamer: at the end it was slower than the no bit board implementation
Wontonimo: what's the 'from' cell?
UnnamedCodinGamer: move from cell A to cell B
UnnamedCodinGamer: the position of the cell that is about to move
jacek: well bitboards allow for quick checking isOver, getWinner and other things
UnnamedCodinGamer: I used it for move generation
Wontonimo: lets say 5th position to 8th position
board = board - (1<<5) + (1<<8)
Wontonimo: to test 5th, you could use (board & (1<<5))>0
UnnamedCodinGamer: yes
UnnamedCodinGamer: but in move generation you get a board with all available moves
UnnamedCodinGamer: you have to then find which of the moves corresponds to which piece
UnnamedCodinGamer: you can do this easily by iterating over the bits
Wontonimo: There's a great PDF titled BITBOARD METHODS FOR GAMES
Cameron Browne1 QUT, Brisbane, Australia. Hope you can google and find it. It has some great bitboard optimizations
UnnamedCodinGamer: I am reading it at the moment
Wontonimo: ah. okay, then i'm out of bullets
UnnamedCodinGamer: below figure 8 it says that the from cell can be recovered as the cell that must exist in the opposite direction
UnnamedCodinGamer: which as I understand it needs iteration over bits
darkhorse64: hint: iterate over set bits
UnnamedCodinGamer: how can I get only the collection of the set bits?
darkhorse64: there are functions to find leading or trailing ones
darkhorse64: and then you xor the current bit and iterate again
jacek: hmm
UnnamedCodinGamer: is this going to be faster that going through the bits?
darkhorse64: having issues ?
darkhorse64: @jacek
UnnamedCodinGamer: *than
jacek: i havent thought about that before
jacek: that would be much useful in amazons when you only have 4 bits
jacek: set
Astrobytes: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/d6edf8a5-561d-4142-b038-04dd634857d6
darkhorse64: All my loops on bits are built this way. Of course, if all bits are set, it's overkill
Astrobytes: Yeah, you should check for that
Astrobytes: nice clobber bot jacek
darkhorse64: ^
jacek: clopper
Astrobytes: :o
jacek: its just mcts
UnnamedCodinGamer: thanks guys, I will try this out
Or64bit: Hey guys
Or64bit: Anybody up with some basic postgresql knowledge?
Or64bit: I have to log onto a port that I have username and password to but it says I have an auth error
Or64bit: any idea why,
Or64bit: ?
userdanydan: it is probably because there is an auth error
Wontonimo: :( my bot got up to 35th in uttt temporarily and got my hopes up but then finished its arena contest at 66th... sigh... the ups and downs of watching the arena test live
Wontonimo: the scores are pretty smooth up here with about 0.1 trueskill difference between positions
jacek: :+1:
UnnamedCodinGamer: 66th is pretty good
UnnamedCodinGamer: best I have seen is 144th :)
UnnamedCodinGamer: but I guess this is what you get with such small iteration count
Wontonimo: last night i finally made a local test bed to compare different versions locally. Makes 2 versions compete for 80 battles, 40 each with first move. Hasn't yet given me a huge insight other than that when I picked my hyperparameters I totally lucked out and picked exactly the right ones.
jacek: 80 games? i usually use 1000 games
UnnamedCodinGamer: :)
Wontonimo: i was hoping that there was optimization available there
jacek: yeah, most my arse-pulled handtuned parameters are already close to optimal
Wontonimo: jacek thanks, i'll try upping. the count
jacek: most often than not ill get 47 63 initially just to get 550 450 in the end
Wontonimo: right ... stats works best with bigger numbers :)
jacek: of course it takes more time to complete
Wontonimo: well then, time to burn more cpu!
Wontonimo: I need a cluster of 1000 raspberry pi and it'll complete in 15 seconds
MasterCoderxD: @Wontomio
MasterCoderxD: I am currently doing your Challenge ("Beach Volleyball")
MasterCoderxD: https://www.codingame.com/ide/puzzle/beach-volleyball
MasterCoderxD: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/bf3f2173-19cb-4e5e-a47a-b053a681cba4
MasterCoderxD: I presume the shortest route is travelling in one straight line
MasterCoderxD: but the question says he breaks his initial (straight line) path and makes another
Wontonimo: right, so there are two legs to the travel, the first on land to a point where the beach meets the water, and a second leg from that point to the ball. Both are straight, but not necessarily parallel
MasterCoderxD: ohk
Wontonimo: This may help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snell%27s_law
MasterCoderxD: I am just thinking on how to approach it, using trigonometry or calculus
Wontonimo: I added that as one of the tags, but it appears to have been removed prior to final publishing (not by me)
MasterCoderxD: oh thanks for the link
MasterCoderxD: ok
MasterCoderxD: ty
Wontonimo: it is possible to do it without calc
MasterCoderxD: ok
Wontonimo: hey, thanks for doing my puzzle! It was my first contribution
MasterCoderxD: ok np
geppoz: spoiler alert: T = L* √((x-x1)²+(y-y1)²) + W*√((x2-x)²+(y2-y)²)
geppoz: find min for x
MasterCoderxD: what's L and W?
geppoz: speeds
MasterCoderxD: x and y are?
MasterCoderxD: ballx and bally?
geppoz: x is the output to find, y is beach_y
MasterCoderxD: okie thank u
MasterCoderxD: lemme try by myself too though :joy:
geppoz: so seems it is needed also derivative calculus
MasterCoderxD: yeah
MasterCoderxD: i am still in hs, so i am fresh with calc
MasterCoderxD: what's T?
MasterCoderxD: time?
geppoz: y, is the value to minimize
MasterCoderxD: k
MasterCoderxD: still getting wrong results bro
MasterCoderxD: something wrong with my code?
MasterCoderxD: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/ae32a935-47c5-43c9-aaa2-41bf4fabefda
tridvajedan: guys
tridvajedan: how do you calculate a median?
geppoz: I haven't solved it yet :D
Pon4ik: guys, what do i have to do with "nextCheckpointDist" in race game?
MasterCoderxD: how do i approve a contribution?
RalseiOwO: you get the median from a sorted array, then get the value in the middle of the array tridvajedan
Westicles: You can only use approved tags, but the autofill list of tag includes every tag anyone has ever tried
MasterCoderxD: i don't understand
MasterCoderxD: i wanna approve a contribution, what should i do?
Westicles: A clash?
MasterCoderxD: no a contribution
MasterCoderxD: this one https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/507070b7925f661e2d2835c14f950b9d157e
Westicles: It is a WIP, so you can't approve. Plus you have to be level 20
GiorgosGiorgakis: why am I stuck in this https://www.codingame.com/ide/puzzle/coders-strike-back
MasterCoderxD: ohhhk
GiorgosGiorgakis: it doesnt progress
GiorgosGiorgakis: blah
AntiSquid: MasterCoderxD why are you desperate to approve it?
MasterCoderxD: it's for the xp thing :joy:
GiorgosGiorgakis: where is the next button?
AntiSquid: doesn't mean much and besides you can get xp from other sources
MasterCoderxD: i am a hackerrank guy, i am just trying this out
MasterCoderxD: plus i thought his contribution was cool
AntiSquid: forget hackerrank culture, this is CG
MasterCoderxD: hackerrank is more popular
MasterCoderxD: bruh
MasterCoderxD: :rolling_eyes::joy:
AntiSquid: facebook and twitter are more popular, popularity isn't a good thing
AntiSquid: it just means it caters to more people, doesn't reflect quality
MasterCoderxD: k not into arguments
AntiSquid: sure, but take CG as it is, forget other sites
Astrobytes: Yeah, it's not really comparable in that respect.
MasterCoderxD: you r ranked 11?? in the world??
gg Antisquid
MasterCoderxD: :scream:
MasterCoderxD: gg to u too Astrobytes
AntiSquid: when you do a contest you get the overall idea of this site
MasterCoderxD: i am only 16, u guys r my inspiration :joy:
AntiSquid: at the moment it's quiet
Astrobytes: It's just a number. There are far more skilled players here with lower levels, they onyl play what interests them
Astrobytes: *only
MasterCoderxD: my clash of code rank is 2000, that good?
MasterCoderxD: u r right
AntiSquid: play some multis, see what you like, when you get stuck as questions, try to engage in meaningful conversations
MSmits: hey Astrobytes I just tested hashing of late game states in uttt. I get about 30% hits with 5 boards finished or more. Not worth it
MasterCoderxD: k but antisquid u didn't answer my question lol
AntiSquid: i think clash is just to get going with coding something
Astrobytes: Ah. Not much has really worked with your new UTTT bots MSmits
MSmits: that's uttt for you
Astrobytes: Yep. Defies all reason.
AntiSquid: the end goal imo is to play a multi, probably even make a book for UTTT, linearly optimize the crap out of it and submit spam
MSmits: nice early solve here though: ply 37 out of 67, p1 hashbot, p2 bot without hash
MSmits: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/530048846
Astrobytes: Nice early solve yeah but not exactly an improvement over the other D:
Astrobytes: * :D
MSmits: my thought exactly
MSmits: i'll submit the hashbot to test it, just in case I'm missing something
jacek: so you mastered endgames. now try to get to them
MSmits: thats the idea :)
MSmits: I also tried biased randomfor selecting a random miniboard in sim, had a good system for it, slowed down my bot, same winrate
MSmits: I think what hurts my hashbot is that I had to let go of my "ab pruning" in my solver. it's hard enough to combine TT with ab in a minimax, trying to both with a mct solver seems too hard
AntiSquid: how come there's no referee for hanabi (fireworks)
Wontonimo: jacek - about the 1000 tests, thanks again. turns out that indeed the early results were wrong
jacek: you can choose if you want to show the referee to download
jacek: Wontonimo you need more confidence
Astrobytes: tric trac didn't link it AntiSquid, I don't think it's really needed though
MSmits: yes Wontonimo, stand up straight, be assertive!
Wontonimo: jacek , like personally or are you talking stats :O
Wontonimo: haha
jacek: yes
MSmits: it's annoying that hashing states is so often just not worth it or just barely worth it. On which boardgames on CG did it turn out to be worthwhile?
Omer_ctr: why is this giving me nothing ?
Omer_ctr: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/65277fd6-f9b9-4de6-ac4a-69752248db87
Astrobytes: afk for a bit
Omer_ctr: ???
MSmits: I'm not even sure what language that is Omer_ctr
Omer_ctr: thats javascript
MSmits: is that output or error printing?
MSmits: because if you're trying to debug, you need to error print
Omer_ctr: it gives me nothing in output
MSmits: but do you want normal output or debug output?
MSmits: it matters
Omer_ctr: normal output
MSmits: is it asking for several lines of print?
MSmits: output i mean
Omer_ctr: it says Found: Nothing
MSmits: probably you were supposed to give one line
MSmits: and your first line was nothing
MSmits: kinda hard to know when we dont even know if this is a clash or puzzle or somethign else, better link what you're doing
Omer_ctr: this is clash
Omer_ctr: bro im tired with javascript
MSmits: i was tired of javascript before even starting
MSmits: must be those glowing testimonials
RSBat: MSmits do you treat all equal states as equal? ie finished miniboards regardless of moves in it?
MSmits: yes
MSmits: i even go further than you i think
Omer_ctr: i learned python in like 3 weeks
MSmits: there are only 8629 unique miniboard states in my system
Omer_ctr: 2 months of learning js but still begginer
karliso: TT in uttt? I don't know about that.... 30% seems quite high.
MSmits: i have a special miniboard system that turns the 19683 variations you get with a ternary representation into a 8629 variant representation, where a board is just a number between 0 and 8629
MSmits: these are as unique as they can be
karliso: There are only 8629 variations?
RSBat: what about last move position? sometimes it can be stored differently too
MSmits: yes
MSmits: let me show you
MSmits: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/05f37f17-df3f-4b6d-b471-a77f801780eb
MSmits: these two are identical
MSmits: in both cases p1 wins in 1 move
MSmits: and p2 draws
MSmits: RSBat i do this too yes
MSmits: a free move is a free move, no matter where it's targeted
MSmits: i give it index 9
MSmits: as opposed to 0-8 being regular last moves
RSBat: ok, cool
MSmits: there are ways to make the 8629 even smaller, but it's extremely expensive
karliso: Would a board with empty cell 4 would be identical as well?
MSmits: no
MSmits: different possible futures
MSmits: all possible futures and the way the board affects the big board, needs to be identical
karliso: If they are both free moves then they are same.
MSmits: you can have identical boards with 2 empty squares
MSmits: yes,
MSmits: thats what i meant by making the 8629 even smaller
MSmits: you cant use that in a live bot
MSmits: there will be 512 different coordinate systems then, depending on the makeup of the main board
MSmits: i calculated all of those
MSmits: the 8612 goes down to 2k/3k realistically in some cases
MSmits: with 1 board left it's only like 110 or so, but whats the point
MSmits: you could use this system for your lookups karliso
karliso: no, thanks
MSmits: from what you shared before you use a biased lookup for picking moves
karliso: :D
MSmits: or at least you lookup your random moves
MSmits: so i guessed it migth be biased
MSmits: for example, giving winning moves more probability
karliso: I always take a winning move in rollouts
karliso: Never even tried otherwise
MSmits: you mean a miniboard win?
karliso: Yes
MSmits: weird
MSmits: when i tried it, it was worse, not sure why
MSmits: I have a win/block random
MSmits: to get a bit more variation in the rollouts
karliso: More variation is not necessarly better.. and winnig boards fast makes for faster rollouts
MSmits: yeah, that does make sense
MSmits: and you also avoid giving free moves when you win, if there is a non-free move win available
MSmits: that i know
karliso: yeah, and if multiplesafe wins I pick lowest... I think I tried to randomize way back, but it didn't give anything
Or64bit: Hey guys
Or64bit: Anyone up that knows something about DNS stuff? I'd have a pretty simple question that I do not know the answer for
Andriamanitra: https://dontasktoask.com/
Or64bit: I'll keep that in mind :D
Or64bit: so why could it happen, that I cannot connect to webpages ending with .hu (My country's ending thing) but I can connect to .com sites?
Andriamanitra: what do you mean by cannot connect? your browser doesn't load those web pages? have you tried getting the ip manually from command line?
Or64bit: To be honest this is just a question I'd have to answer, the only extra info I know is that the page is not responding when I try to visit it
Or64bit: but .com sites do load
Or64bit: and also most of the pages that are on my university's network
Or64bit: only .hu endings don'T
Andriamanitra: are you sure it's ALL .hu sites? and is there any way you could verify it's not a problem with your browser (maybe try `curl google.hu`)?
Andriamanitra: if it's not a problem with your browser it could be a dns problem or a firewall
Uljahn: or hosts file
Or64bit: Sadly I cannot verify, though you're right, it only states I cannot connect to to like five other specific we services
Or64bit: but it also does not say that it could connect to other ones
Or64bit: Here's the quetion translated, I hope you guys will understand it
Or64bit: Between two lectures you decide on visiting something.hu, but the page does not respond. You'd like to figure out what's going on. Doing so you notice, that you also cannot reach a.hu b.hu c.hu and d.hu, altough you can open facebook, gmail, youtube, and also most of the university's sites load in. What do you think the problem could be?
Uljahn: i guess, there is no valid dns record for them or those sites are offline or blocked by ISP
Saphine: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/16041572369f7fe2dd542488e28af80ed82e4c9
AntiSquid: use #clash for links to clash Saphine
Or64bit: ThanksUljahn, the ISP is a very good idea
reCurse: sigh
jacek: oO
jacek: reCurse did you use convnet for uttt?
reCurse: Some aspects of it
jacek: training a0 style?
reCurse: See above

reCurse: Don't forget the cocaine
Laserbeak43: In Power of Thor - Episode 1, you have to change Thor's position, but the only variables for Thor are intialTx and initialTY. Do I use those?
struct: you can use those
struct: but you need to update them
jacek: you need to calculate thor's current position by yourself
Laserbeak43: Thanks
struct: Boss even has comments, depth 3 minimax
jacek: what boss
struct: C4
jacek: and you can download it
struct: oh
struct: Did not even notice it
darkhorse64: 17 moves win against the boss
darkhorse64: C4 is ready
darkhorse64: for approval
jacek: MSmits should approve it. he used most cpu power for it
reCurse: Ready for detonation?
darkhorse64: :smiley:
MSmits: i did do 1.5 million games in meta mcts :0
MSmits: (full games)
MSmits: i'll go approve
reCurse: Not touching that one with a ten foot pole
Andriamanitra: i'm getting captchas between each clash again :(
Andriamanitra: pls fix
MSmits: you dont need a ten foot pole reCurse, apparently even dogs can play it. jacek found proof
Astrobytes: afaik they will fix the clash captcha issue next week Andriamanitra
jacek: im two foot pole
Astrobytes: hahaha
Scarfield: xD
MSmits: ah damn, you went so long jacek. Now I have to reset my time-since-jacek-talked-about-his-pole timer
Scarfield: he was reffering to being pole-ish
MSmits: ohhh
reCurse: :door:
MSmits: good thing I didnt reset it yet
MSmits: keep going jacek
jacek: do you have :soccer: timer as well?
MSmits: yea it's at 13 seconds because you just talked about it
jacek: about what
MSmits: you're just trying to get me to talk about it too
MSmits: lol i got random time out on first test of connect 4 code
MSmits: spent a few minutes trying to find the bug
MSmits: it was just one of those random timeouts cg has
darkhorse64: The boss is having a hard time
MSmits: yeah
jacek: its on?
jacek: i didnt get notification
MSmits: it's on!
darkhorse64: join the party
MSmits: happened 10 mins ago
MSmits: thanks for leaving me the approve btw
jacek: nah, ill just give random bot for now
jacek: so the boss wont be lonely
MSmits: didnt you already have a better one?
jacek: yeah
jacek: ill wait for more people. then ill mess with leaderboard :imp:
MSmits: btw, as promised, wont counterbook anyone. So far have general book of 486 moves that doesnt really go beyond ply 5. That's after 1.5 million games
jacek: going for column 1 after all?
MSmits: yeah based on results
MSmits: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/e90b8754-f885-47f6-abf2-108b9ceff1c2
MSmits: closest to 50%
MSmits: i doubt you will notice a difference if you start at 0
MSmits: because it didnt go below 50% until after hundreds of thousands of games
MSmits: and you're only playing one game at a time so..
MSmits: just dont start with 3 or 4... that would be bad for your winrate
MSmits: ohh
MSmits: there's another league
MSmits: I was thinking, where did the tric go?
Scarfield: you need to trac him down
MSmits: :grin:
Astrobytes: lmao
MSmits: well at least the boss is better than random
MSmits: it has jacek's random bot beat easily
MSmits: nice to have a reasonable bar of entry to wood 1
Scarfield: elStructo mentioned a depth 3 minmax boss
MSmits: ah yeah thats a good strength to aim for I think
Laserbeak43: "Timeout: your program did not provide an input in due time. Earth was destroyed!"
Provide an input? I thought I was supposed to write to console
Laserbeak43: could someone please clarify for me?
MSmits: please don't destroy Earth before I get nr 1 at uttt
jacek: yes, you write to console
jacek: but did you print more than neccessary? or less?
Laserbeak43: just made a big if/else
Laserbeak43: that always sets a string variable to one of the directions which is output by Console.WriteLine() on line 60
jacek: really? can you show the code
Laserbeak43: and why do I not see this channel on the discord server?
struct: maybe you have an infinite loop?
reCurse: I might just keep an overfit bot to spam submit in spite
jacek: i bet you have Console.WriteLine() in one if
jacek: and it doesnt print
MSmits: overfit to whom?
MSmits: reCurse?
reCurse: To perform better against you than everyone else when you get rank 1
MSmits: mmmh
jacek: hmph
MSmits: do it :)
reCurse: You could say I'm in service of protecting the planet
MSmits: oh yeha, thats right
Laserbeak43: https://pastebin.com/U4pEB8ms
jacek: Laserbeak43 CS1002: ; expected
jacek: compile error
Laserbeak43: just noticed that...
Laserbeak43: like literally when u pinged me lol...
jacek: :duck:
MSmits: is this thor 1?
struct: Also you need to update coords
MSmits: the basic thor?
MSmits: I thought my first C# solution was big, but this is even bigger
MSmits: I like it
Laserbeak43: update my coords?
MSmits: when you output
MSmits: you move to new coords
Laserbeak43: initialx and initialy?
MSmits: you need to remember them (= update)
MSmits: yes change those, or use a different variable
MSmits: so when you move to the right you do initialx++
MSmits: for example
Laserbeak43: was wondering if the code I don't see handles that or not
MSmits: initialx is never changed
MSmits: so no
Laserbeak43: yeah i did that "initially" :) but removed it
Laserbeak43: what what?
MSmits: a single iteration of the while loop corresponds to a single step
Laserbeak43: i get that
Laserbeak43: but
MSmits: your initialx and y are set before the while loop
MSmits: and never change
struct: Only stuff inside the while loop get updated every turn
MSmits: unless you do it
Laserbeak43: exactly
Laserbeak43: but you said no?
MSmits: i said you current code doesnt
MSmits: but it should
Laserbeak43: ah
Laserbeak43: ok
MSmits: sorry confusion
Laserbeak43: np np thanks for the help
MSmits: np
Scarfield: i just looked up my python solution for thor, good laugh xD
MSmits: it's good for your confidence when you look at those old solutions
MSmits: wow, i learned a lot...
Laserbeak43: lol.... I really want to be doing scala
Laserbeak43: but I'll try them both
Laserbeak43: yeah I know there's gotta be a more elegant way to do this, just being lazy I guess
MSmits: connect4 seems to be really rare on draws
Scarfield: yea it was probably the first puzzle i made after onboarding
PatrickMcGinnisII: Whoo hOooo!
darkhorse64: fierce competitors do not accept draws
MSmits: happy Patrick incoming
PatrickMcGinnisII: lvl 35! ;) :P
Scarfield: Patricks day?
MSmits: grats :)
PatrickMcGinnisII: I should be ashamed, no contributions
PatrickMcGinnisII: heh
MSmits: same
MSmits: but all in all i think CG has quite a lot of them already
MSmits: testers are more needed than contributors
MSmits: 10 : 1 win ratio :)
PatrickMcGinnisII: xp is getting harder to come by
PatrickMcGinnisII: fewer competitions
MSmits: still plenty of multis you havent tried i'm sure
MSmits: I found a draw! https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/530096589
PatrickMcGinnisII: only connect 4
PatrickMcGinnisII: hmm, of course i haven't gone "all out" on some of them
MSmits: wait, you tried every other multi?
MSmits: the xp is in the legend promotion
MSmits: isnt it like 500 ?
PatrickMcGinnisII: yea, promotions are a b*tch
darkhorse64: it is
PatrickMcGinnisII: achievments give a little xp, but i have to do more langs
darkhorse64: languages gives many achievements but few points
PatrickMcGinnisII: i should make a puzzle, prolly easier xp
MSmits: only make a puzzle if you have a good idea fo rit
darkhorse64: no fibonacci in it
MSmits: you dont like fibonacci?
PatrickMcGinnisII: last puzzle i did was fib...centrifuge tuning, rofl
darkhorse64: There are too many of them in Coc
MSmits: ah
PatrickMcGinnisII: coc isn't my jam
Laserbeak43: So I've updated the coordinates. and still the same error though.
Laserbeak43: Expected a movement (one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) but found
PatrickMcGinnisII: 4 people in connect4, ...o k a y...must be super new
MSmits: share the code again, sounds like an output problem
MSmits: yes PatrickMcGinnisII < 1 hr
struct: maybe it doesnt enter any if
darkhorse64: do your ifs cover all cases ? I would say probably no
Laserbeak43: https://pastebin.com/f5Ps9QWm
MSmits: you're supposed to compare against light x
MSmits: and forget everything else
MSmits: so check if your x > light x or x < light x to determine if E or W is necessary
MSmits: those if statements contain a lot of unnecessary comparisons
Laserbeak43: so lighty never changes?
Laserbeak43: trick question?
MSmits: light is stationary
Laserbeak43: for some reason I thought i had to chase it
MSmits: nope
MSmits: x and y are both stationary
MSmits: your thor moves
MSmits: lightx and y i mean
Laserbeak43: either way, what I've done in regard to comparison should break the code?
MSmits: it's a bit hard to tell, if your bot doesnt output anything it means none of the if statements are true
MSmits: if you simplify them it should be easier to fix
MSmits: thats a better path than trying to figure out why this one doesnt work
PatrickMcGinnisII: Laserbeak43 the move is null because you haven't met the criteria in all the if statements to change it
Laserbeak43: hmm...
PatrickMcGinnisII: if you setup a deltax and deltay before the loop
PatrickMcGinnisII: you will have better luck
PatrickMcGinnisII: and since the Y direction always comes first in the move output
PatrickMcGinnisII: you can just move=N or S
PatrickMcGinnisII: then test the x, and move=move+ W or E
PatrickMcGinnisII: instead of 8 ifs you can reduce it to 4
Laserbeak43: ok thanks. I'll try it
PatrickMcGinnisII: so, if deltay!=0 move+= N or S
PatrickMcGinnisII: if deltax!=0 move+= W or E
PatrickMcGinnisII: you'll get it
PatrickMcGinnisII: I gotta clean my house, cookin' steak for the gf in a few hours
PatrickMcGinnisII: you had two of these: (xy[0]>lightX) && (xy[1]==lightY)
PatrickMcGinnisII: should be a <
Laserbeak43: changed the whole code block to this: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/eebe59b1-b8b7-470e-802b-8057e07a94b9
Laserbeak43: oops
Laserbeak43: sorry
Laserbeak43: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/ac4a7a64-3cae-49d3-bb73-ed8b204bd15c
Laserbeak43: ok i can't copy and paste code from the editor into chat
Laserbeak43: https://pastebin.com/VZ9Gd1YE
Laserbeak43: oh no i see what was happening.. lol
PatrickMcGinnisII: remember you are appending a character to the move string
Laserbeak43: hmm
PatrickMcGinnisII: ok, u found it
Laserbeak43: I was wondering. I don't see why I would append a direction to move?
PatrickMcGinnisII: do y first as its the first direction to be output
PatrickMcGinnisII: so
PatrickMcGinnisII: move="";
Laserbeak43: 0 +"E"?
Laserbeak43: no...
PatrickMcGinnisII: if (deltay!=0) { if (deltay<0) { move+="N'; deltay++;} else {} kinda thing
PatrickMcGinnisII: I dunno what lang, what is it? c++?
tridvajedan: how to make a puzzle
tridvajedan: like a code puxxle
tridvajedan: and upload it
jacek: contributions
Laserbeak43: C#
PatrickMcGinnisII: so strcat(move,"N"); ?
PatrickMcGinnisII: move.push_back("N"); ?
Laserbeak43: I believe move "x" + "y";
Laserbeak43: or move += "Y";
PatrickMcGinnisII: so move+="N"; should be fine
Laserbeak43: should work
Laserbeak43: i feel like im being stubborn about something...
PatrickMcGinnisII: ok, i get mixed up between JS and java therre for a sec
PatrickMcGinnisII: hmm, oh works the same
PatrickMcGinnisII: unless you are using stringbuilder
PatrickMcGinnisII: ok, i'm done giving advice, second guessing myself
PatrickMcGinnisII: prolly should have said "S"
Laserbeak43: hehe thanks...
PatrickMcGinnisII: your original code would have worked with 2 minor changes.... the < and tx++ .... but there is alot of unnecessary conditions in the statements
Laserbeak43: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/d16474af-4d49-4f6e-b76c-dcdfd0ffece7
Laserbeak43: that worked... for straight line
PatrickMcGinnisII: you can always ctrl+z, to undo things
Laserbeak43: think i'm just going to do it this way, since I don't know how the blackbox works
PatrickMcGinnisII: remember do Y first
jacek: y
PatrickMcGinnisII: y !
PatrickMcGinnisII: ;)
PatrickMcGinnisII: or is it ~y
Laserbeak43: :cold_sweat:
PatrickMcGinnisII: stupid tilde doesn't show up in chat
PatrickMcGinnisII: '/u223c
PatrickMcGinnisII: grrr
jacek: maybe the site is made in php
struct: its due to your font
AbundantPuddle: ỹ
Laserbeak43: `
PatrickMcGinnisII: the tilde in html might think it's a css operator
PatrickMcGinnisII: U+007E
PatrickMcGinnisII: grrr
PatrickMcGinnisII: ~
PatrickMcGinnisII: alt+0126\
PatrickMcGinnisII: grr
PatrickMcGinnisII: i give up
PatrickMcGinnisII: glhf
AbundantPuddle: I don't know if you'rer referring to your text that says "or is it ~y," but I can see the tilde there.
PatrickMcGinnisII: ahh ok, i can't
PatrickMcGinnisII: all i see is -
AbundantPuddle: Then as struct stated, it's probably due to your font.
PatrickMcGinnisII: or a longer -
struct: -~
PatrickMcGinnisII: prolly
PatrickMcGinnisII: ok struct, you win
AbundantPuddle: struct just did a dash and a tilde
PatrickMcGinnisII: winner winner :poultry_leg: dinner
AbundantPuddle: Lol
PatrickMcGinnisII: all i see is a long dash
jacek: rainbow dash?
PatrickMcGinnisII: ~
PatrickMcGinnisII: grr
PatrickMcGinnisII: laterz
Laserbeak43: Thanks. Later

Laserbeak43: i'm not understanding something about the flow of the program... this always stops 1 coordinate short of 1...
Laserbeak43: of Y*
struct: Laserbeak43
struct: on the last if
struct: line 62
struct: will just append text
struct: with your current code it can match one previous if
struct: and then match that if
Laserbeak43: @struct Thanks. Not exactly sure what you mean, but I'll focus on that block
struct: https://i.imgur.com/GgDjja4.png
jacek: oO
arhariss: Hallow
Andriamanitra: fuck these shit clashes with only 4 test cases :rage:
jacek: reverse?
Andriamanitra: shortest
Andriamanitra: i saved one character too many
MSmits: tihs clashes
Andriamanitra: i had 43 (44 without the bug) and the next person had 95
MSmits: sucks =/
MSmits: so it worked on all the testcases but not on the validators/
MSmits: ?
Andriamanitra: yup
MSmits: that's annoying indeed
Laserbeak43: @struct I've fixed that before (and now), and in my current code I am trying to figure out how to get ThorY to equal lightY when deltaY == lightY. he always goes past the bounds
struct: Whats your current code?
Laserbeak43: https://pastebin.com/Uw8TkeYG
Wontonimo: Laserbeak43 I was just told last week you don't need to put the @ infront of the name. just passing along this wealth of knowledge
struct: laser
Laserbeak43: Wontonimo thanks
struct: you should use else if
Laserbeak43: hmm
Laserbeak43: ok i'll try that
struct: if(deltaY < lightY){...}
elseif(deltaY > lightY){...}
elseif((deltaY == lightY){....}
struct: Something like that
struct: the last elseif can be just an else
Laserbeak43: struct omg...that's all i needed to fix it
Laserbeak43: i really need to learn program flow...
struct: check other players code
Laserbeak43: yeah I'm feeling a bit silly
Laserbeak43: thanks for the help
Laserbeak43: Going to try doing it in Scala now
struct: The logic is the same
Stormalix: is there any way to stop all of the captchas im getting.. its really annoying and ive already done like 20 of them
jtsimmons: Is there an easy way to see old clashes after you close out?
brandex123: Is there a way to check out the test outputs of old clahes after you close out?
Wontonimo: @Stormalix i think that's been raised as a bug in discord
RyanGilbert: yeah if you do too many clashes in a row it gets sussy of you
jtsimmons: Not a bot, just have nothing better to do.
Wontonimo: do some puzzles
Saad-py: ohhhhhhhhhhh
