ThornFlynt: else: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/6a656fba-f5e1-496e-90f6-c72bf619db31
ThornFlynt: for some reason this code isn't making it to the last elif... variable declared outside of nested if and inside game loop...
ThornFlynt: Failure: Thor wandered off the path and died (invalid position).
Thor position = (4,18). Light position = (0,17). Energy = 18
ThornFlynt: even tho he shouldn't have made it a y position of 18 :-\
ThornFlynt: Nevermind - forgot to set the thor_x/y variables to update themselves
TonyAustin: how do I race the 2nd boss? I have been watching races in the arena for 5 minutes now and I am winning pretty much every one. Am I supposed to do something to start the boss race?
CHT-DAT: Hello
srinivasTheDeveloper: any lonely developers?
FalconX: i am one
srinivasTheDeveloper: nice to meet you
CHT-DAT: Hi there
XiaoDa: Hello world
AutomationBoi: x y "BOOST" is giving exception as expected x y power
AutomationBoi: any one has any idea?
TonyAustin: are you printing number space number space number?
AutomationBoi: no no i am printing
AutomationBoi: one sec
AutomationBoi: xcordinate ycoordinate 100
AutomationBoi: yeah its number number number
AutomationBoi: but when i replace 100 with "BOOST" it gets into exception
AutomationBoi: I think i am not using boost correctly
TonyAustin: is boost your variable? don't put it in quotation marks if so
AutomationBoi: no boost is the keyword here
AutomationBoi: x y "BOOST" is giving exception as expected x y power
any one has any idea?
AutomationBoi: ignore above message
AutomationBoi: Once per race you may substitute your desired thrust with the keyword BOOST to grant your pod a burst of speed.
Use the command <x y "BOOST"> instead of <x y power>. -- this is what i am trying to do
creeperZnation4: It's just a string you print instead of the thrust value, right?
AutomationBoi: correct
FalconX: what's your real name
AutomationBoi: hence i am printing it with double quotes... not sure where is the miss here
AutomationBoi: its resolved now
AutomationBoi: thanks the chat pointed me to right direction
Manhar: for i in range(inf):
print("I love You);
VasanthanPT: How to join shortest mode in clash of code?
blackjune: randomly
LaZeta: Or use a private clash for a specific mode
bro_momentum: are the first few leagues in coders strike back bots
bro_momentum: as oppose to actual people
TonyAustin: nah bro, I am in your league atm bro_momentum
TonyAustin: how did you crush so ahrd tho? lol
bro_momentum: uh
bro_momentum: idk
bro_momentum: i just wrote code
TonyAustin: like what was your strategy though?
bro_momentum: uh
bro_momentum: well
creeperZnation4: Is there a strategy? I just assumed that having the best control gave you the maximum speed
bro_momentum: i only use boost if the angle difference is less than or equal to 30 or greater than or equal to negative 30
bro_momentum: to insure that boost maximizes effectiveness by activating when i need to go in a straight line
MdAshfaqulHaque: umm.Hello there :)
TonyAustin: I did the same but for less than 2 or more than -2 ._. 30 is a lot
TonyAustin: but what do I know, I been stuck in this league xD
bro_momentum: im at the top and nothing is happening
bro_momentum: how do i move on
creeperZnation4: don't u beat the boss?
bro_momentum: did that
creeperZnation4: idk then lol XD
creeperZnation4: what league?
bro_momentum: wood 1
bro_momentum: i think
TonyAustin: if you check the leaderboard it will tell you your score, and your score has to be higher than the league boss's score
bro_momentum: im at the top
creeperZnation4: Yeah u just play the arena and the boss
bro_momentum: my rank is 1 the boss is below me
creeperZnation4: u just kind of get promoted after a while
Theino: it'll upgrade you when it finishes calibrating you
bro_momentum: how long does that usually take?
creeperZnation4: Not long... like I got promoted after like 5 minutes
TonyAustin: I think my bot is retarded? how do I fix
Theino: a few minutes. Several minutes when its slow
bro_momentum: interesting
bro_momentum: ok now i did
creeperZnation4: a retarded bot XD
bro_momentum: it promoted instantly last time so i was confused
TonyAustin: my bot literally will go through the correct area, and then try to turn around and go back to it, then half way on the way back it will swap to the next checkpoint
bro_momentum: lol what is ur code
creeperZnation4: I kind of wanna see that XD
bro_momentum: can you paste a bit of your code
bro_momentum: im curious as to why it would be doing that
TonyAustin: here, I will show you an example of my bot racing, I am actually convinced that it is retarded.
TonyAustin: I want to find a good example so gimme a sec
bro_momentum: idk how the hell to solve the collision problem
TonyAustin: alright, I found a horrid example
TonyAustin: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/531301935
TonyAustin: as you can see with the line showing where it is turning too, it will still try to go to the one it already passed for a bit then suddenly change to the next checkpoint
creeperZnation4: I see the problem now...
bro_momentum: it never stopped half way
creeperZnation4: You see the yellow light next to the checkpoint?
bro_momentum: it missed checkpoint 1
bro_momentum: at one point
creeperZnation4: Yeah
bro_momentum: it touched the sprite but missed the hitbox
bro_momentum: and went back to touch it again
TonyAustin: like when it finishes first lap is a good example
creeperZnation4: Here's a fix: slow down when u get close to the checkpoint
creeperZnation4: like thrust = 0 or something when you get reasonably close
TonyAustin: alright, also check at prame 93, the light is on checkpoint 1 but for some reason it is still heading to checkpoint 0 lol
bro_momentum: what are your angle limits set to that make your thrust lower
TonyAustin: Here is one of them: thrust = ((100 * next_checkpoint_x / x) + (100 * next_checkpoint_y / y)) / 2
TonyAustin: And I have this one too: if (next_checkpoint_angle > 0) :
thrust -= int(next_checkpoint_angle / 3)
TonyAustin: then I add 10 thrust to keep it capped at 100 when the bot is far away from checkpoint
bro_momentum: I'm not doing it that way at all
bro_momentum: I'm using if statements lol
TonyAustin: I assumed so lol
bro_momentum: too lazy for math
TonyAustin: I would scrap my 60 lines of if statements and stupid math, but they are all working to make the bot go as fast as I can get it lol
MdAshfaqulHaque: lol I'm first :)
TonyAustin: I might just be too stupid for this racing game
bro_momentum: 60 lines?
bro_momentum: ur trying too hyard
creeperZnation4: 60 lines?! I think there are like less than 15 in mine
bro_momentum: ^
MdAshfaqulHaque: what is hyard,lol?
bro_momentum: *hard
MdAshfaqulHaque: :D
TonyAustin: ._.
creeperZnation4: Does anyone know what "coding speed" is lol XD
MdAshfaqulHaque: no,then tell
creeperZnation4: I'm asking because I don't know either :sweat_smile:
MdAshfaqulHaque: lool
MdAshfaqulHaque: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
bro_momentum: not sure how this magnitude will do because ive yet to try it out and see how much a positional unit is, but do you think this is an okay solution to collision>
bro_momentum: ?
bro_momentum: if (Math.abs(x - opponentX) < 30 && Math.abs(x - opponentX) < 30) thrust = 50;
creeperZnation4: So you're trying to slow down?
TonyAustin: I am clearly in the wrong profession, cause I have no clue what that will do lol
creeperZnation4: If you used shields it would make your player harder to move
TonyAustin: wait is that the same expression twice?
creeperZnation4: so replace thrust = 50 with thrust = "SHIELD" and you should be fine
creeperZnation4: yeah wait lol XD
TonyAustin: both sides of the && say "Math.abs(x - opponentX) < 30
TonyAustin: "
creeperZnation4: I think he meant to replace the 2nd set with y and opponentY
bro_momentum: oh yeah whoops
bro_momentum: what creeper said
bro_momentum: i dont have access to SHIELD yet
bro_momentum: collisions just got introduced
creeperZnation4: really?
bro_momentum: yeah
bro_momentum: collisions are on but they didnt give me any new powers
TonyAustin: I just wanna beat wood 1 league so I can quit playing this dumb minigame D:
bro_momentum: just gonna have to do with this
creeperZnation4: Oh I guess you'll get them in the next league XD
jacek: oO
creeperZnation4: yeah, try ur best with that I guess... I just kind of brute-forced my way through so XD
TonyAustin: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/531304916
TonyAustin: I am clearly doing smth wrong
TonyAustin: how is my bot so dumb
bro_momentum: idk
jacek: you copied your brain into him
bro_momentum: ^^
TonyAustin: ^
creeperZnation4: You're going like an extra couple units extra after each unit
creeperZnation4: more than the bot at least
TonyAustin: I wrote a neural network and referenced it off of my own brain and decision making
creeperZnation4: Wait lol I just got the joke XD
TonyAustin: no but for real I don't know how to fix this, pls send help
TonyAustin: I literally commented out all of my code except the basic thrust and it still does it
creeperZnation4: slow down at the checkpoints
creeperZnation4: The more efficiently you do that, the faster you will be
bro_momentum: which you will basically be implemented if you add angle checks
bro_momentum: and slow down for too high angles
creeperZnation4: yeah
creeperZnation4: ^
TonyAustin: OH
TonyAustin: I am stupid
TonyAustin: "Warning: your code did not read all available input before printing an instruction, your outputs will not be synchronized with the game's turns and unexpected behaviour may occur."
TonyAustin: that is why is is not swapping to the next checkpoint instantly lmaooo
creeperZnation4: oh XD
creeperZnation4: The boss is learning tho
creeperZnation4: https://www.codingame.com/replay/531305689
creeperZnation4: I thought I was going to win there XD
TonyAustin: wait wtf
creeperZnation4: Something still wrong?
TonyAustin: I reset to the default code and it is still giving me the error
creeperZnation4: You would think it's a system problem at that point, but it doesn't appear that anyone else if facing it
creeperZnation4: How's your internet XD
MdAshfaqulHaque: boss is always BOSS
TonyAustin: pretty bad ngl, but its the best possible internet we can buy in our area ._.
bro_momentum: my bot almost always boosts in the beginning of the game lol
creeperZnation4: Mine only boosts if there's a 7000+ distance between goals
creeperZnation4: but that might change soon XD
creeperZnation4: TonyAustin u might wanna try later then I guess
bro_momentum: how much is 700
bro_momentum: 7000*
bro_momentum: like half the map?
creeperZnation4: more or less yeah
creeperZnation4: I tried printing out the distances once
TonyAustin: there is a little thing on the right that shows 1000 distance
bro_momentum: it errors
bro_momentum: which is annoying
TonyAustin: the screen from left to right is 16000
creeperZnation4: Oh I must've missed that XD
creeperZnation4: erorrs?
TonyAustin: I just do math with the center of the screen i.e. 8000,4500
bro_momentum: bro i cant even advance even tho im shatter everyone
bro_momentum: ok made it to #5
bro_momentum: shattering*
zzvcc: whats up gamers
TonyAustin: PAIN
bro_momentum: suo
bro_momentum: sup*
bro_momentum: time to pythagorean theorem
TonyAustin: ah yes, e=mc^2
creeperZnation4: XD
bro_momentum: no it's y=mx+b
TonyAustin: hmm, that can't be right. I could have sworn it was 9.8m/s^2
creeperZnation4: gonna have to argue that it's (b (+ or -) √(b^2 - 2(a)(c))) / 2a
bro_momentum: no it's –a=ΔvΔt=vf−v0tf−t0
creeperZnation4: Are you sure? I learned that it was x = x0 + 0.5(v - v0)t
bro_momentum: bro do u even physics bro
bro_momentum: everyone knows its dU=δQ−δW
creeperZnation4: Ok look I started Physics like this year I don't even know what I'm looking at rn XD
TonyAustin: I'm over here with highschool physics in my pocket not knowing what tf yall bringing up
bro_momentum: I'm over here in 8th grade watching too much khan academy
creeperZnation4: lol XD
creeperZnation4: it's always khan academy, isn't it XD
bro_momentum: undisputed king of education
bro_momentum: we should go to school and sit down and do khan academy
bro_momentum: and it would be 50x better than the current garbage system
creeperZnation4: Ah ok I was looking at the first law of thermodynamics XD
creeperZnation4: lol the world would become 25% smarter XD
creeperZnation4: And then we could get wifi to those who don't have it and increase that number
bro_momentum: qunatum internet
bro_momentum: ah
bro_momentum: qunatum
bro_momentum: quantum internet
creeperZnation4: Ah yes, qunatum entanglement... my favorite XD
bro_momentum: hey creeper
creeperZnation4: yeah?
bro_momentum: whats ur code for distance detection for boosting
TonyAustin: yo, can I get a cheat sheet to beat wood league 1 lol
bro_momentum: mine is
bro_momentum: uh
bro_momentum: get good
TonyAustin: I am too dumb to beat it
TonyAustin: D:
bro_momentum: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/47783172-e1a2-4fa8-a0c4-8e3d3dcb8df1
creeperZnation4: My code is really simple lol XD
bro_momentum: look at my code tell me if its good enough
bro_momentum: what languages you guys using btw
TonyAustin: python, but I can swap easily. I just like python ngl
creeperZnation4: I didn't even use Pythagoreans theorem, but the other part is basically what I did
creeperZnation4: so in theory it should work better than mine
creeperZnation4: Since you're actually calculating the shortest path
MadKnight: bro_momentum don't u already have a variable for the distance ?
MadKnight: given ?
creeperZnation4: Yeah, I just used the one they gave us
TonyAustin: ^
bro_momentum: oh wait lmao
bro_momentum: big brain
bro_momentum: once i make it to bronze league 2 finally im going to be4d
bro_momentum: bed
bro_momentum: its 3:30 am
creeperZnation4: Lol it's 4:30 for me
creeperZnation4: I said I would sleep 4 hours ago
bro_momentum: ok with this new boost check im slaughtering
bro_momentum: and still going down ranks cmon people stop winning
bro_momentum: it punishes me for nothing
bro_momentum: just stop playing altogether
creeperZnation4: that would help XD
bro_momentum: alr rank 5
creeperZnation4: Ooh
creeperZnation4: so close
creeperZnation4: or is that enough idk
MadKnight: no u gotta be above the boss
MadKnight: if the boss is somehow below 5 then that's enough
creeperZnation4: Oh so that's how it works... I've ascended leagues (or whatever the expression is) without being first before, so I wasn't sure
bro_momentum: sometimes u ascend before the leaderboard updates if it registers fast
bro_momentum: so maybe thats why
creeperZnation4: Yeah I guess so
bro_momentum: bruteforcing this league is soooo hard
bro_momentum: not sure how u did it creeper
creeperZnation4: idk I just played and it worked XD
creeperZnation4: I started yesterday night btw, so I don't really know what I'm doing XD
MadKnight: when someone submits and gets games against u it might affect your rank
MadKnight: bro_momentum just subtract your velocity vector from checkpoint
bro_momentum: what
creeperZnation4: We have a velocity vector?
MadKnight: nop u gotta calculate it
MadKnight: but it's easy
creeperZnation4: Ah ok
bro_momentum: wait how does that help
bro_momentum: subtracting my velocity from nextCheckpointDist or something like that?
MadKnight: no lol not from the distance
bro_momentum: from what
MadKnight: from the xy of checkpoint
bro_momentum: what would that give me
MadKnight: your pod would stop overshooting checkpoints
bro_momentum: ohhh
bro_momentum: i get what u mean now
bro_momentum: like subtract my velocity from the nextCheckpoint values inside of my print that tells the pod where to go
bro_momentum: thank you
bro_momentum: am i right?
MadKnight: yea
bro_momentum: how do i calculate velocity lmao
bro_momentum: i mean i know how you would typically
bro_momentum: but i dont exactly have a time counter
bro_momentum: so how do i calculate it
MadKnight: your time counter is the tick counter
MadKnight: turn counter
bro_momentum: ok so a turn is 75s
bro_momentum: ms
MadKnight: no
MadKnight: yes but no
bro_momentum: its under that
bro_momentum: or equal to
MadKnight: a turn is 1 step
bro_momentum: uh huh
MadKnight: so your speed goes in pixels/turn
MadKnight: and time goes in turns
bro_momentum: but how i access the turns
bro_momentum: do i*
MadKnight: u got a while(true)
MadKnight: every iteration is a turn
bro_momentum: correct
MadKnight: so just use it
bro_momentum: but dont i need a counter
bro_momentum: and i cant make one on my own
MadKnight: u need to count what exactly ?
MadKnight: for velocity
bro_momentum: i mean i need to know how many turns goes into a specific amount of movement
MadKnight: depends on the movement
bro_momentum: i can't make something that counts the turns to the next checkpoint
bro_momentum: and divide
MadKnight: dude
MadKnight: how is that related to your current velocity
bro_momentum: cuz its distance per a unit of time
MadKnight: and what distance exactly ?
bro_momentum: wdym
MadKnight: which distance ?
MadKnight: in this case
bro_momentum: idk distance to the next checkpoint?
bro_momentum: idk what ur playing at
MadKnight: u gonna calculate pod's velocity by dividing its distance to a random object in the world by time ?
bro_momentum: no obviously not
MadKnight: then what distance are u gonna use ?
bro_momentum: checkpoint distance
bro_momentum: obviously
bro_momentum: that was a stupid question to ask
bro_momentum: which is why it confused me
MadKnight: checkpoint IS a random object in the world
MadKnight: u just said u weren't gonna use that
bro_momentum: well yeah i suppose
bro_momentum: its not random in the context of random im thinking about
MadKnight: it's random in the context of calculating pod's velocity
bro_momentum: well its measurable
bro_momentum: i mean my thought process was
bro_momentum: if i can figure out how many turns go into getting to a checkpoint
bro_momentum: i can divide into 1 turn
bro_momentum: and see how far that takes me
MadKnight: wat
MadKnight: u just calculated x from using x to calculate x
MadKnight: gg
bro_momentum: what
bro_momentum: look
bro_momentum: last time i checked
bro_momentum: velocity is displacement over time
MadKnight: yep
bro_momentum: i measurable displacement is checkpoint distance
bro_momentum: and then i can see how much time that takes
bro_momentum: a measurable*
bro_momentum: then my dilemma was that i cant actually see how much time that takes
xspeedasx: displacement is distance between your last coords to current coords
MadKnight: well it could work if your pod was moving EXACTLY directly to checkpoint center
bro_momentum: true
bro_momentum: ok but no matter
bro_momentum: what distance i use
bro_momentum: there is still the dilemma that idk how the measure the time
bro_momentum: because if i try to make a turn counter which i tried before
bro_momentum: codingame yells at me
MadKnight: dude u don't need neither of those
MadKnight: xspeedasx just said what distance to use
bro_momentum: yes that is the distance
MadKnight: > distance between your last coords to current coords
divided by the time between last turn and now which == 1
MadKnight: so basically it's just x - prevX
MadKnight: divided by 1
bro_momentum: oh i suppose so
bro_momentum: ok then lmao
bro_momentum: look idk what time it is for you
bro_momentum: but for me its 4 am
bro_momentum: and my brain gets like exponentially slower as soon as it hits like
bro_momentum: 2:30 am
bro_momentum: so rn im basically stoned
bro_momentum: anyways goodnight
MadKnight: gn
MadKnight: xspeedasx what about u ?
MadKnight: did u implement that ?
xspeedasx: i dont rememeber :D
MadKnight: u should do it xspeedasx
xspeedasx: i did some GA anad it got me 100th place or so
xspeedasx: 894th now lol
MadKnight: what league ?
xspeedasx: legend
xspeedasx: 4 years ago
MadKnight: gg
MadKnight: improve your GA
MadKnight: it should be able to reach top 100 now easy
xspeedasx: just checked, it seems that something changed with CSB engine, my app doesnt work anymore :D
MadKnight: 75ms/turn now
MadKnight: instead of 150
xspeedasx: ok fixed, now it will drop out probably :D it only does 5 generations now
MadKnight: lol why so? are u using python or something
xspeedasx: c#
MadKnight: what's the size of a generation ?
MadKnight: what depth ?
xspeedasx: hm generatioon was 500 and 8 turns deep. Should probably tweak these, since there's not a lot of time to evolve them anymore
MadKnight: 500 is really much, try 50
xspeedasx: :thumbsup:
George21: some advice for beginners like me?
George21: A tutorial on yt, or something like that
jacek: reCurse you there?
jacek: i think i finally managed to do castling, but this thing says its illegal move
jacek: https://www.codingame.com/replay/531321988 1rnbkr1n/2ppp2p/q3b3/1p6/p4P1B/P4P1P/1PPP1KP1/QRNBR2N b bf - 0 10
KlaSSR: George21 do you know which language you wanna start with?
Scarfield: jacek "Castling is done as a king moving to its own rook"
Scarfield: so king square to rook sqaure
jacek: huh
jacek: so it should be e8f8
jacek: meh, who approved it
MadKnight: George21 tutorial/advice on what exactly ?
MSmits: pretty sure these are official 960 rules :P
jacek: i perfted it, seems alright
jacek: as with always, i can make proper bot but i waste most time for the proper move formatting
MSmits: and that's with simple boardgames. Now try simming one of those old contests :)
MSmits: I recommend kutulu
Suleyman_Brnabar: Hello everyone! Does anyone know why I cant see solutions in contributions and also I cant approve or reject them? I have more than 50 games.
Uljahn: private clashes don't count
Qajari_Aspet: no, they are not private
Uljahn: 50 clashes are required to approve clashes only, for puzzles you need 20 lvl i guess
jacek: Scarfield how about this one https://www.codingame.com/replay/531331492
UnnamedCodinGamer: just finished my mcts write-up https://tech.io/playgrounds/7acdbf31248fba3fa4f69385e969651f06075/mcts-tic-tac-toe-playground
xspeedasx: Suleyman_Brnabar
go to https://www.codingame.com/leaderboards/clash and check if there's 50 under clashes. I think it only counts publi c and submitted clashes (and possibly more than 0)
xspeedasx: 0% result
jacek: Scarfield my bad, wrong rook ;x
jacek: UnnamedCodinGamer not bad
UnnamedCodinGamer: jacek, thanks
UnnamedCodinGamer: I hope it helps someone

TheUndyingImpVanDerSwag_2baa: how can i see code golf solves?
jacek: if its clash, it is shown only if user will share the code
jacek: if its puzzle, you cant
TheUndyingImpVanDerSwag_2baa: oh
jacek: codegolf is competition
TheUndyingImpVanDerSwag_2baa: i wanted to see in practice. i thought i did pretty good minimizing my code, but someone has 100 chars less than me
Wontonimo: UnnamedCodinGamer Thanks for the link to your MCTS writeup. Do you usually keep track of win/loss/tie all separately? I'm asking because I usually just keep 1 float, add 1 if win, add 0.5 if tie. What are you thoughts on the difference?
jacek: he also keeps the uctvalue
jacek: normally i keep just score and visits
UnnamedCodinGamer: Wontonimo
jacek: and terminal
Wontonimo: Hi UnnamedCodinGamer
UnnamedCodinGamer: yes, the first implementation kept track only of victories
UnnamedCodinGamer: and drwaw was +0.5, as you mention
UnnamedCodinGamer: I added draws and losses later to be more visible
UnnamedCodinGamer: now you can see better all results of the rollouts
Wontonimo: switching to int math has been nagging at me for weeks, because floats have less significant digits and addition of floats isn't as clean as int addition
Wontonimo: did you find that ^ sort of thing changed with an int win/loss count
jacek: welp if you use -1 0 1 then you can use it
UnnamedCodinGamer: jacek, yes
Wontonimo: jacek -1 0 1 doesn't give you an insight into the difference between 2 tie games and 1win/1loss
jacek: :shrug:
Wontonimo: (but i'm not convinced it really matters)
Wontonimo: ^
Wontonimo: jacek, do you use ints or floats for your totalReward ?
jacek: for pure mcts ints
Wontonimo: thanks. that may be why i've seen a few others also say they use -1 0 1 instead of 1 .5 0. This will be a nice experiment
jacek: youd want to bump your C then
Wontonimo: yup

BattlePostItNoteMachine_d1e3: Hello, world. Could anyone help me to remember how to find out those puzzles I used to solve? I played this maybe 5~6 years ago and I would like to see what I did those days. Thanks.
jacek: in the puzzles page it should show you which puzzles you already solved
BattlePostItNoteMachine_d1e3: Thanks, jacek.
Wontonimo: Arenodi are you still working on that problem?
Wontonimo: OmerDrk yes, i've solved that problem, do you have a question about it?

icecream17: javascript is outdated by a couple major node versions
icecream17: oh wow, every language i searched up is outdated. (I only searched 4 though)
Katespizer: like newest node lts version was released like 4 months ago
Katespizer: give 'em some time
MasterCoderxD: what's the excuse for python then? Katespizer?
Katespizer: i don't know
Wontonimo: and when's the last time you published code into a real production environment with no less than 10 servers using the latest version of a language? Me? Never, always at least 1 year behind.
MasterCoderxD: hackerrank
Katespizer: picking lts is good way to think about it
struct: hackerrank doesnt have arenas with bots right?
struct: if you update a language you might break bots code
icecream17: maybe it can be an opt-in, though that's more complicated
Katespizer: struct, then we really can't update the language? Like, never?
struct: they do get updated
struct: But they dont update it very often
Katespizer: then why say "if you update a language you might break bots code"
Katespizer: when we are just doing it
AntiSquid: but we did have language updates that broke some bots :D
Katespizer: i don't understand, like, do bots really write a code?
struct: https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming
struct: you can write AI to play a game
struct: When you submit the bot stays in the arena
Katespizer: now i get it
jacek: :soccer:
AntiSquid: maybe i should give the paper soccer a serious try
Wontonimo: I see a tool https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/cg-enhancer/59441 that allows your to rename your code submit to "test in arena". Does that still work and can you do it without the tool?
struct: I think the renaming still works
struct: not sure if there is any other script that does it
jacek: i already have test in arena, i dont have the tool
tutubalin: i made a puzzle, but some people say they cannot see Unicode characters
tutubalin: could you please take a look and tell me is it ok for you or not?
tutubalin: https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/6351e335f78e8bd9b9c7cf78f1b51d847b0b
jacek: i see
Astrobytes: tutubalin: I can't see them. Isn't there some guidelines on unicode? In the forum I think.
jacek: im using chromium on linux
tutubalin: Astrobytes which browser do you use?
jacek: https://i.imgur.com/6EMM7VK.png
Astrobytes: tutubalin: chrome on windows currently, didn't test in other browsers yet
tutubalin: Astrobytes weird. i also use chrome on windows
Passifi: my chrome on windows displays them fine
jacek: no fonts?
Astrobytes: Possible. Works fine in FF
Astrobytes: Not working in Opera
tutubalin: Astrobytes guidlines do not recommend Unicode as input/output. couldn't find any restrictions on using it in problem statement
tutubalin: is it possible to include an image in statement?
jacek: unicode as input *_*
jacek: link it
Astrobytes: Yeah has to be a link
tutubalin: https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/how-to-make-coc-puzzle-with-unicode-characters/188910
Astrobytes: ah yes
struct: This is what i needed
struct: Now Ill give amazons boards as unicode chars
Astrobytes: :D
jacek: since what time referee counts time?
struct: What do you mean jacek?
jacek: input reading takes 35-50 ms
struct: where?
Astrobytes: on Amazons?
jacek: chess
Astrobytes: oh
jacek: then i do stuff for 20-25ms its ok
Astrobytes: sure?
jacek: but when i use over 35ms then its sometimes timeout
struct: do you get moves list?
jacek: no
struct: I dont see anything wrong on the referee
struct: https://github.com/reCurs3/codingame-chess/blob/master/src/main/java/com/codingame/game/Referee.java#L80
dericeketli: hello
dericeketli: gençler
Astrobytes: Are you getting spikes in the elapsed time jacek?
jacek: within 5-15 ms
Astrobytes: starting timer after cin >> board >> etc?
jacek: only the cins sometimes take 70ms
jacek: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/b344e1f7-4dfe-4da0-8897-7262a3f3a4e2
jacek: duration = 70ms, duration2 (my parsing) = 0ms
DomiKo: jacek reports has been going on for ages, maybe it's related
DomiKo: submits*
DomiKo: one minute = one game
jacek: submits are fine
DomiKo: super slow
Astrobytes: jacek, what happens if you set the timer to start after cin >> board? As in cin >> board; start_timer();
bigmazi: isn't "shortest code" mode in clash of code is a bit silly? it basically forces not to use languages which requires mandatory boilerplate
jacek: duration 0
jacek: board alone takes that much? its just string line
jacek: but, is this time counted for player's time?
Astrobytes: I've split all the cins, started timer after cin >> board; output the times and it's barely even a ms. If I start the timer after all inputs it's 70+ ms sometimes
jacek: yeah, board alone can take 50ms
jacek: actually i havent timed other games. do this happen there as well?
Astrobytes: not sure tbh
Astrobytes: Clobber seems OK?
struct: Could it be java garbage collector running while sending input lines?
jacek: its not that complex is it https://github.com/reCurs3/codingame-chess/blob/0010797a3670f7a4b545f852a1f220da234e0835/src/main/java/cc/recursive/chess/Board.java#L176
Binary_Sky: do you get anything for making puzzles
Astrobytes: A chocolate medal and a pat on the back.
Astrobytes: (XP)
Astrobytes: But don't just make a puzzle because you want the XP, make a puzzle because you have a good idea for one Binary_Sky
dericeketli: beyler
dericeketli: yaptınız mı
Astrobytes: dericeketli: English in world chat please (not sure if there's a Turkish language channel?)
Wontonimo: actually the chocolate medal and pat on the back are do-it-yourself prizes
Astrobytes: lol indeed
jacek: Astrobytes i checked checkers, input oscillates between 30-70ms
Astrobytes: Hmmmmm
dericeketli: alooo
Binary_Sky: nice, i have no intent on creating puzzles cause im just 15 and getting into coding
dericeketli: nabiyonuz
dericeketli: gençler
dericeketli: No Turkish
dericeketli: I am speak English
Astrobytes: What's your question dericeketli?
dericeketli: ne yapıcan
dericeketli: kardeş
dericeketli: Alooo
dericeketli: duyuyor musun
Astrobytes: Yes.
dericeketli: He is a man
dericeketli: What is the AWS?
dericeketli: How old are you?
dericeketli: Where are you from?
dericeketli: astrobytes
dericeketli: aloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Astrobytes: Stop it please.
jacek: UwU
Aka_nate458: No
dericeketli: adamsın adam
Astrobytes: dericeketli: Great observation. If you continue talking rubbish you risk a kick from the chat.
duckymirror: Is my code buggy (it probably is) or does the second player in Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe really get timeouts much faster?
dericeketli: I'm sorry
dericeketli: please
Wontonimo: no, second player doesn't get timeouts any faster
Astrobytes: bug++
jacek: oO
dericeketli: please
Wontonimo: you get 1000ms for your first move, then 100ms in subsequent moves
duckymirror: Hmm.
dericeketli: HMM
Wontonimo: what language are you using duckymirror ?
duckymirror: I'm using Rust
jacek: :scream:
Wontonimo: i can't help you
Astrobytes: dericeketli: Do you have anything to ask or say?
Theino: Rust gets half the time of other languages due to its brittle nature. Get a Tetanus shot to get your full time.
Wontonimo: are you using a timer at the start of inputs duckymirror ?
dericeketli: yok abi
dericeketli: vallla yok
dericeketli: please
dericeketli: I'm sorry
duckymirror: No, I start it after reading the inputs
duckymirror: I let my program run for 90ms if it's the first player and 70ms if it's the second player
dericeketli: Astrobytes
Wontonimo: wow, that's a big gap
Astrobytes: That should not be a thing
dericeketli: What is the AWS?
Astrobytes: AMAZON WEB SERVICES. Use a search engine.
dericeketli: thanks
dericeketli: What is the amplify?
duckymirror: It still times out with 70ms, but it works when it uses 90ms as the first player
Wontonimo: okay, this may be totally wrong (and please someone jump in and correct me) but it seems to me if your process is just a bit over the 100ms threshold it passes a few times until to total you are over accumulates to too much ... like a 20ms buffer or something
jacek: dunno about the buffer, but you can try 105ms and sometimes youll get lucky and not timeout
struct: do you start the timer after reading firs tor last input?
duckymirror: After reading the last input
jacek: but sometimes errors are amibguous. it will say 'timeout' but maybe your bot crashed
struct: you should start it after reading the first input
Wontonimo: ^
Astrobytes: try the first input and report back
duckymirror: Oh, I see, thanks!
duckymirror: It seems to work now! Thank you again!
Astrobytes: :)
Wontonimo: thanks for asking and test duckymirror , i didn't know that the clock started after the first input
jonvine: gbfgb
AntiSquid: english
Wontonimo: incase anyone is curious, i've tried some tests of dynamically changing C in MCTS, specifically something a bit lower than ideal early game then steadily up to ideal late game.
Wontonimo: it had negligible effect.
jacek: *gasp*
Wontonimo: I know right?
Wontonimo: the effect i was going for was to explore more deeply early game at the cost of over looking things, but in late game to make sure things are not overlooked (with a regular amount of regret)
GeorgiD: How do I debug print in python?
GeorgiD: Because I'm in a clash and I removed the comment
jacek: print to stderr
Wontonimo: print("hi", file=sys.stderr, flush=True)
GeorgiD: Tnx
jacek: you can reset in right upper corner of ide
Wontonimo: fun fact: you can prevent the loss of your work first by using ctrl-c, and then restore it with ctrl-v
GeorgiD: Yeah xd
jacek: oh i pulled down rebless in checkers
Wontonimo: Goodbye uttt, you have tested me and in the final hours of February I yield. With more time I may have crush some bot souls by adding NNs, but alas, it wasn't meant to be
Wontonimo: new month = new challenge!
jacek: you will never fill the void after uttt
struct: what are you going to play?
Wontonimo: i started SprintChallenge way long ago and never got serious about it
Wontonimo: and i don't like doing a half job, so that may be it
jacek: sprintchallenge?
Wontonimo: same with botg
Wontonimo: *SpringChallenge
Wontonimo: but i've gotten so many good suggestions ... probably i'll take the first couple days to decide. what are you focused on struct ?
struct: nothing atm
Wontonimo: my short list is: Tron, CSB, FBits, PRC, Ghost, SpringChallenge, and BotG
Astrobytes: I no longer have a shortlist, it's just a long list
struct: I need to finish amazons
struct: Im gonna allow players to choose board colors I guess
jacek: where
Astrobytes: I'm lacking motivation again. CG doesn't feel right at the moment.
struct: In replay
struct: Similar to what euler did on try angle catch
Astrobytes: I miss euler :(
jacek: chess.. something i thought id train for a day and move on (on friday) and here i am on sunday
jacek: AutomatonNN do you miss him?
AutomatonNN: eulerscheZahl i am not that good at it
struct: :(
Astrobytes: He does.
jacek: whats up with him
jacek: too much salt?
Astrobytes: No reason to be here. I mean it was a bit of a slap in the face for him with all that happened.
OmerDrk: why I cant solve Rectangle Partition puzzle
OmerDrk: I am dumb
Wontonimo: sorry to hear
struct: Possible one of the people that contributed the most :/
Wontonimo: yeah, lots of really cool puzzles challenges
Astrobytes: Not just that, but out of everyone you'd always find euler in chat, in between contests, keeping things going
Astrobytes: That's what motivated me to try and keep chat active
Astrobytes: Now I just think what's the damn point
Astrobytes: /bitterness
Astrobytes: Don't listen to me.
Wontonimo: i'm too noob here to understand
Wontonimo: perhaps it's better for me that way
Astrobytes: Most probably. Nothing to worry about in the grand scheme of things
struct: the competitive side of cg has been marginalized
struct: is that the right word?
Astrobytes: Yep
jacek: i wasnt that much into contests anway, but still... overtaken by clashes...
struct: it was
struct: when I joined
struct: It was like 5/6 contests a year
Astrobytes: Yeah, I know you're more into multis (board games) jacek but yeah, you know
jacek: on the other hand, what other site offers variety of bot games
Astrobytes: Well that's kinda the point though jacek, they fail to capitalise on that
Astrobytes: The market is literally cornered, but it's not the market they want.
Astrobytes: 2018-2019 was like contest city
darkhorse64: Let's get positive: we have the SDK and we can make fancy things with it. There will be no more than 300 people in the lb but we can still have fun
Kitkat260: hi
jacek: good evening
Kitkat260: how is everyone today?
jacek: sunday evening..
Kitkat260: nice
Astrobytes: darkhorse64: It's still a bitter pill, but yes.
darkhorse64: Some are more disappointed than others
Astrobytes: I'm still gonna be here for the multis but I feel like I'm in mourning atm.
Astrobytes: And I miss euler.
trictrac: perhaps euler will come back. what was the problem ?
dinwun450: huh?
darkhorse64: CG stated several times that they want to organize weekly events. Let's wait for a concrete announcement
Astrobytes: I think darkhorse64 could explain it faster than I can in French trictrac :)
Astrobytes: Yeah I mean I'm still curious as to what they have in mind but... :salt:
Kitkat260: hi
Kitkat260: its quiet
Kitkat260: today
UnnamedCodinGamer: I also think it is dumb if they pushed him away (I do not know what happened eigher)
UnnamedCodinGamer: He put his heart in CG
UnnamedCodinGamer: you could feel it
Astrobytes: Yes. 100%
UnnamedCodinGamer: was also fast to answer any questions
Wontonimo: i talked to him a couple times in my short time here. he was great
darkhorse64: Actually, he said because there are less contests, he has to reconsider his CG uptime
darkhorse64: he did not say he rage quits
Astrobytes: Yeah but compared to him being here every day...
darkhorse64: true
Wontonimo: there were these codejams in my town (in the before time) organized by a local dude. They were pretty awesome
Wontonimo: but as I learnt more and got more involved I found out that they were a huge money loss
Astrobytes: Like I said earlier, euler's continued presence in the chat/on the site in between contests really encouraged me to try and keep this place alive a bit more - it used to completely die in between contests.
Wontonimo: so, however CG is managing to keep this going, my hats off to them
Astrobytes: Yeah totally, we know they do this for free at cost to them
MSmits: well.. don't confuse chat activity with overall activity. You see tons of people submitting that never chat
MSmits: or at least not in this channel
Astrobytes: But we offered to outsource to ourselves as much as possible, and nothing
OmerDrk: hmm so weird. why is my code giving error when I define a struct? everyting is looking correct
Astrobytes: MSmits: sure, but activity was still very low in between contests
Astrobytes: And ask the other channels too
MSmits: yeah i twas
MSmits: but still is i think
MSmits: compared to during contest
MSmits: people come when something happens
Astrobytes: But they want clashers, not competitors...
MSmits: how do you know
MSmits: have they done much to increase the amount of clashing happening?
MSmits: seems to me it was always like this in regards to clashing
MSmits: the only thing that has changed as far as i can tell is that more multis appeared in the last year or so and less contests happen
MSmits: from a regular player perspective i mean
jacek: and more clashes in contributions :unamused:
MSmits: sure that too, but that doesnt affect anything aside from more work looking at contributions
MSmits: I don't buy the "dying community" frame of thinking
Astrobytes: As per the discord discussion I refer to.
Astrobytes: No, I also don't quite yet subscribe to dying community. But some good users have been really sidelined.
MSmits: yes
darkhorse64: Sure, we can miss contests but we have still lots of (increasing content) to play with
MSmits: and that's sad
MSmits: i agree darkhorse64
darkhorse64: ^
MSmits: we have to remember that many of those people that joined contests, came here only for contests. I'm not even sure you can consider someone part of the community when they are here for 10 days and then gone for 3-6 months
MSmits: they are welcome to join ofc, but it's not the same as being part of the community
MSmits: not sure what the numbers are on those
MSmits: there are also people that come here for contests and then stick around after. Those are the people CG is missing out on with less contests
MSmits: I think kar liso is one of those
Astrobytes: Well yes, this was part of the discussion. CG had X-thousands of participants in Y contest!!! YAY.
Astrobytes: How many stay?
Astrobytes: And for what?
MSmits: these last few contests were insane in number of participants
MSmits: i remember doing Xmas rush with less than 1k
MSmits: and some others with around 2k
Astrobytes: Mmhm. And we've gained about 4 or 5 regular users.
MSmits: that you chat with
MSmits: many are invisible
Astrobytes: No, that I see
MSmits: really hard to say how many there are
DomiKo: there are people that aren't really talkative, but they are part of community for sure
darkhorse64: According to CG, contests do not attract that many people compared to people coming from google searches
Wontonimo: i didn't even discover this side chat bar thing until about 2 months in
struct: https://cgmulti.azke.fr/statistics
Wontonimo: and tbh, my first experience was ... uninviting
struct: csb is losing
Astrobytes: Wontonimo: what was your first experience of CG webchat?
darkhorse64: I want more spikes
Wontonimo: not particularly unplesant, just mostly ignored and stuff was inside ... and then the red text. Why red? I didn't know at first its red for everyone, and i thought I was being yelled at by a moderator
MSmits: lol
Astrobytes: hehehe
Wontonimo: i don't remember exactly what was said ... i'd recommend blue or green
Astrobytes: Yeah, green or blue would definitely be a bit less STOP CRIMINAL!
jacek: Wontonimo red? why?
Astrobytes: Or just a different bgcolor on the text
Wontonimo: it really took me a while to realize it is always related to being talked to directly because when i send a direct message it doesn't show as red
Astrobytes: It's a recognised issue that webchat is flawed - and it won't be fixed
UnnamedCodinGamer: hah, when I first saw the red colour the reply was like drilled into me (I think it was MSmits replying) I still remember it
Wontonimo: later ... got2go
Astrobytes: UnnamedCodinGamer: don't leave us hanging - what was it?! :)
Westicles: Are people still thinking the next contest is the last one as we know it?
Astrobytes: Not sure about that. I just miss euler.
Westicles: https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/solo-contests/1114/2
Westicles: Yeah, euler was the personification of helpfulness
UnnamedCodinGamer: I think it was about Yavalath, saying that wins in random simulations are so rare
UnnamedCodinGamer: something to this effect
Astrobytes: That makes sense!
Astrobytes: Westicles: generally a great guy tbh
zhoubou: Just stopping by to say hello. I might come back more in near future. Not sure.
Astrobytes: zhoubou!
zhoubou: How are you guys? And what happened to euler?
zhoubou: Astrobytes :)
Astrobytes: How was the exam? And what's up?
zhoubou: I passed it! Yeah!
Astrobytes: zhoubou: my maaan nice one :)
Astrobytes: I had every faith in you
zhoubou: Thank you :D
zhoubou: I'm mostly doing the Codecademy's CS career path, not much else
Astrobytes: What's the situation with coming back here or not?
zhoubou: Well I'm not sure, I haven't gotten much motivation lately
zhoubou: Which is not good. Hopefully it improves
MSmits: UnnamedCodinGamer, wins from random simulations in yavalath are rare because most games end in suicide.
MSmits: for nostalgia
Astrobytes: zhoubou: You and me both. I'm still around though
zhoubou: I've been reading the chat here and there, but haven't said anything in a while
UnnamedCodinGamer: MSmits, exactly, now I remembered
Astrobytes: MSmits: hehe, it was a very Smits yava statement :D
UnnamedCodinGamer: thanks
MSmits: np, let me know if you want me to say this again in a year or so :grin:
Astrobytes: Been quiet the past week or so zhoubou
UnnamedCodinGamer: hah
zhoubou: Yeah, I don't know how long :P
zhoubou: It feels like years tbh
Astrobytes: Well if you're around don't be a strager, you can always pm
Astrobytes: *stranger
MSmits: standard rager
Astrobytes: :D
zhoubou: I'm going to try harder next time
zhoubou: It's just the way I am I guess
zhoubou: It's the same in rl and WhatsApp and stuff
MSmits: you are of the lurker-type
Astrobytes: I get you man
zhoubou: Exactly MSmits :P
MSmits: me too sometimes, mostly not though
Astrobytes: "mostly not" :P
zhoubou: Astrobytes I'm trying to improve constantly, and I have been improving some in recent times, then I fell back to the old ways
zhoubou: I don't know why
zhoubou: It's pretty comfortable here with you guys, I don't understand my brain sometimes
Astrobytes: Nobody understands their brain.
MSmits: if your brain understands itself it may get stuck in a recursive loop
zhoubou: Haha true
Astrobytes: Might be a good thing....
MSmits: ^
Astrobytes: it's 100% good in MSmits case :D
MSmits: yep
zhoubou: For his own sake eh :P
Astrobytes: For all our sakes!
zhoubou: :rofl:
TBali: are there really no standard "split string by delimiter to vector" library function in C++?
TBali: like Pyhon split() or PHP explode()?
Astrobytes: Yeah, use a stringstream
Astrobytes: and tokenize from that
TBali: I found a few lines solution but it is still strange.
TBali: most used function in solo puzzles inout parsing.
Astrobytes: Hate the game not the player!
BlaiseEbuth: Why not both ?
TBali: I hate all the haters except myself :-)
Passifi: Why hate at all ? Have some gummi bears :)
TBali: yeah, hate leads to suffering. Yoda already told that
Astrobytes: Just send rainbows to BlaiseEbuth, I heard he likes those :D
Passifi: everything leads to suffering Yoda is a twat its just that blind rage is more fun and better for your skin
Passifi: and gummi bears trumps all
BlaiseEbuth: I got no feelings, ah no feelings
No feelings for anybody else
Except for myself, my beautiful selfish
Westicles: boost has split if you are talking outside CG
TBali: I converted some puzzle solutions to c++
TBali: (not with your method :-))
Westicles: heh heh
Astrobytes: lol
TBali: whis weekend I have read 160 pages from the 1300+ Stroustroup book.
TBali: Now I allowed to use C++ functions starting with letter a or b
Astrobytes: Yeah boost has some handy things. Is there any extra string parsing stuff in C++20? I mean ranges and stuff sure help
TBali: CG should support only C++98
TBali: that language has already too big advantage
BlaiseEbuth: C++20 ? It's so old...
TBali: can you apply preincrement to int literals?
TBali: than it is 21
DomiKo: https://www.codingame.com/replay/531432742
DomiKo: most exciting game in PRC
Astrobytes: Game of teh Year DomiKo!
BlaiseEbuth: Poker Rip Chace ?
DomiKo: I guess yes
Astrobytes: RIP Race. Choker.
MSmits: is the yellow guy calling out bingo numbers
darkhorse64: issue one move for excitement
MSmits: I bet your sim is perfect DomiKo
DomiKo: perfectly bugged*
BlaiseEbuth: Even chips respect social distanciation.
Astrobytes: fix your English BlaiseEbuth
DomiKo: When you are so tired of PCR that even chips stop moving
Astrobytes: :rofl:
TBali: Blaise, just checking your new puzzle - nice background story!
BlaiseEbuth: Nope. I try aproximative fr->en translation when I don't know the word.
MSmits: google translations are getting too good :(
TBali: better than google translate I suppose
ivandrofly: ahah @msmits why u said that
BlaiseEbuth: Thx TBali. I have a little change to do.
MSmits: it's funny when the translation is poor
Astrobytes: Close BlaiseEbuth, it's 'distancing'
BlaiseEbuth: Yeah google translate is able to translate approximations correctly...
GR33NB33N1376: Im very confused with this website.
MSmits: I'm very confused with you being confused
TBali: I remember feeding the text of the childrend song "wheels on the bus go round and round" to google translate
MSmits: uh oh
GR33NB33N1376: Well its just, i dont understand what to do.
MSmits: you can do anything
MSmits: what do you *want* to do
TBali: The "mummies on the bus " part was frankly translated to Hungarian with the word for Egyptian mummy.
MSmits: funny
TBali: (Nothing to do with an of the words for Mom)
BlaiseEbuth: TBali https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT09O3tqaT4
TBali: maybe the context was not enough.
TBali: But it was years ago and it DID improve a lot.
Westicles: Isn't the quest map for new guys who don't know what to do?
TBali: Now it is actually faster to use it for a draft translation and then correct the errors.
TBali: That was not the case 5y ago (with Hungarian at least) - maybe it was better for more used languages
TBali: LOL that video
BlaiseEbuth: Just an example, there's many others. ^^
BlaiseEbuth: Yeah! I'm the first one to solve my puzzle !
Westicles: Sheesh, all these two line solutions to if-then-else are making me feel stupid
TBali: lol, I used 50
TBali: I avoid avoid regexp when I can
TBali: Man with a Plan:
"There's also the house of a crazy wizard, who teleport anyone he sees to the closest point of interest. "
Is it manhattan distance or euclides? or shortest travel time?
BlaiseEbuth: RTFM!
TBali: I did! :-)
BlaiseEbuth: First one of a long serie. Thx to be the first.
BlaiseEbuth: No enough, or not completely...
Westicles: "The wizard uses Manhattan distances."
TBali: Ah I found it at constraints.
BlaiseEbuth: ^
TBali: This statement is longer than my operating memory.
BlaiseEbuth: Add RAM
TBali: too old motherboard
TBali: No chips available for the 1-bit bus-width I have
BlaiseEbuth: ^^
Astrobytes: https://downloadmoreram.com/
AntiSquid: is it ram as a services?
BlaiseEbuth: That's a trap!
Westicles: You had to get CG to increase the character limit on statements? ha
TBali: I use WOM
Westicles: Ain't nobody gonna read all that
BlaiseEbuth: In fact the limit was supposed to be already increased before, but the change was not effective.
TBali: I disagree. With such story it is okay
TBali: Short attence span users won't solve hard puzzles anyhow
TBali: CoC is there for them
TBali: * attention (?)
TBali: but the tracklist is acccessible only with spotify refgistration so I skip that
Astrobytes: attention yes
TBali: Hopefuly these songs are not about best pathfinding algorithms and how to code them
Astrobytes: And yeah, I have no issue with long problem statements if they're interesting and pertinent to the problem(s) at hand.
Astrobytes: They are not TBali :D
TBali: I know 2 songs from the tracklist
TBali: Gloryhammer and Sabaton
TBali: Seen them both in past 2 years
BlaiseEbuth: I just got a mail about graspop cancellation. :(
jacek: or daft punk :?
Stark-program: is there like a "difficulty" setting for the clash of code?
Stark-program: cause im getting destroyed
TBali: there is not
Westicles: And a 2 line solution to IPV6 shortener
TBali: theis is not codegolf. the question is: are these solution readable at all?
Westicles: Yeah... turns out python has a builtin function for the IP one. For ITE it is readable, just uses eval
TBali: using eval() is like a cheat :-)
TBali: like system()
Westicles: yeah
TBali: hmm, php also has lots of built in functions.... let't try: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/ce6e695c-b52e-4cff-a046-d09cbc9dc78f
tutubalin: if-then-else can be solved with 1-liner without eval
tutubalin: my JS solution is 77 chars long
pardouin: my first solution was just a recursive function without eval but then I found funny to abuse eval
elderlybeginner: is there any way to send a private message to a user when he is not on discord or not following?
Wontonimo: let me answer that question with a question, how good are you at reverse engineering and javascript?
ClashofCock: using anything more high level than assembly is cheating
elderlybeginner: isn't assembly cheating? you can type with bytes
AntiSquid: i see you love coc
Wontonimo: m.sender
Wontonimo: (oops)
Westicles: if they have ever posted to the forum you can message there
tutubalin: oh, i reduced if-then-else to 71 characters
tutubalin: wait... to 67 :)
