Wontonimo: for slcc, a basic bot that just goes straight to the next checkpoint with no other logic at all should place around 90th
Smelty: hmm...I'm doing that....but my ranking is 112 o.o
MACKEYTH: slcc?
Wontonimo: are you allowing your bot to turn 180 degrees, or constraining. it to 18% like in CSB?
Smelty: https://www.codingame.com/ide/challenge/sofia-labs-coding-challenge
Wontonimo: yeah slcc
Smelty: oh i didn't know it could turn 180
Wontonimo: that'll make a difference :D
Smelty: but i didn't add that constraint in the first place so
Smelty: my ranking just stabilized to 116
MACKEYTH: Hm, only open to Europeans? I don't see USA in the country list
Smelty: oh yea I didn't see USA so I just put united kingdom :sweat_smile:
Wontonimo: it just means you can't get the prizes
Smelty: ohh okay
C2H5OH: secret contest? yeah, you got a good rank bocause nobody participate.
Smelty: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/539508901
Wontonimo: kinda the opposite C2H5OH, it is mostly just fairly hardcore participants
Smelty: my rank is 108/122 :flushed:
ZarthaxX: where?
Wontonimo: slcc
C2H5OH: oh, its CSB. I don't like CSB. :(
Smelty: its a CSB but modified
Smelty: you can turn 180, there are 3 racers, 1 pod each
ZarthaxX: oh okey
ZarthaxX: nice profile pic C2H5OH
ZarthaxX: suits your flag hehe
eulerscheZahl: but I would expect alcohol to fit the nickname
ZarthaxX: dont know what it is :P
eulerscheZahl: Ethanol
ZarthaxX: googled it?
ZarthaxX: plz say yes
eulerscheZahl: no, i attended school
ZarthaxX: that's what i DIDNT want to hear
ZarthaxX: ah my culture level hits one again
eulerscheZahl: i'm sure Astrobytes would know that too
ZarthaxX: well some ppl (like me) dont :(
eulerscheZahl: and you say that's because of your school system?
eulerscheZahl: i didn't know that there are such differences
eulerscheZahl: e.g. we had an exchange student from Hungary once
eulerscheZahl: he was able to answer questions despite the lesson being in German
eulerscheZahl: chemistry teacher was already mad at us for not knowing the answer. and then this guy raised his hand and gave the correct answer
eulerscheZahl: he didn't learn that at our school :rofl:
ZarthaxX: no it's not my school fault, i just forgot everything i was taught
eulerscheZahl: oh
ZarthaxX: lol that infiltrated :rofl:
eulerscheZahl: AmnesiaxX
ZarthaxX: dude was cheating
ZarthaxX: even understanding german, that doesnt sound easy
ZarthaxX: yeah, intended amnesia
Lachrymosa: My school's level of chem peaked with balancing combustion reactions and calculating the joules it takes to melt ice in a cup. And frankly a lot of people didn't do well with just that.
eulerscheZahl: we were equally impressed and ashamed :D
ZarthaxX: :rofl:
eulerscheZahl: melting ice was physics for me
eulerscheZahl: we spent 20min watching the ice melt and starting to boil
Lachrymosa: friction coefficients broke some people, they dropped the class the next day lol
ZarthaxX: physics and chemistry were hard for me
Lachrymosa: to be fair it was a "pilot" class of higher physics. The intention was people were supposed to already know calculus but since it isn't offered until our final year anyway, how could they have it already
eulerscheZahl: in anorganic chemistry we got up to redox reactions
ZarthaxX: i feel like they should be some uni thing lol
ZarthaxX: inorganic?
eulerscheZahl: maybe :D
ZarthaxX: redox is so annoying, memorizing stuff
ZarthaxX: i have heard that inorganic is painful
Lachrymosa: I'm lost :3 I always wished I'd learned how to interpret those neat O-chem diagrams with the hexagons and stuff
eulerscheZahl: oh and atomic models of course. Bohr, Orbital
eulerscheZahl: the hexagon is just 6 C atoms
Lachrymosa: yea, but what does a single vs a double line mean? The number of bonds?
Andriamanitra: this site needs more clash of code reviewers capable of critical thinking
eulerscheZahl: yes
eulerscheZahl: to both of you
Lachrymosa: Huh, maybe those aren't as hard to read as I thought.
eulerscheZahl: my reviews sometimes turn into slaugther
Lachrymosa: A lot of the clash of code issues I run into are vague statements because of language differences or a difference in assumption of experience with math
ZarthaxX: Andriamanitra TOTALLY AGREE, there are many clashes whose statements make no sense at all
ZarthaxX: or even the reverse mode ones..
eulerscheZahl: at the very least it should be proper English
Lachrymosa: I solved a reverse mode one and then when I submitted it i got 25% XD
Andriamanitra: i only looked at few submissions and two of them were completely unacceptable but still 2/3 approved and 0/3 rejected
ZarthaxX: i dont get how they got approved
eulerscheZahl: quest map
ZarthaxX: luckily i abandoned that place
ZarthaxX: but quest map makes you approve once
ZarthaxX: right? D:
eulerscheZahl: and then create your own once
Lachrymosa: I think I've reviewed a few. Haven't ever tried to make one myself
Wontonimo: should be a quest challenge to downvote / reject
eulerscheZahl: you only got the point once the clash gets approved for real
eulerscheZahl: maybe they are like "where is my achievement? I'll do some more"
Lachrymosa: A lot of things I could think to have people do would be too trivial and likely already done.
ZarthaxX: i knwo you have to create one, and that's prob the problem here.. lol but how do they get approved, so many ppl out there compelting a quest map?
ZarthaxX: oh didnt know that quest map dela
ZarthaxX: y
ZarthaxX: well that may be a problem :D
eulerscheZahl: https://eulerschezahl.herokuapp.com/codingame/puzzles/stats/
Wontonimo: i finished mine ... i had a lot of fun doing the quest map ... it was weirdly fun
eulerscheZahl: timeline of new contributions added
eulerscheZahl: (approved only)
Andriamanitra: it seems people glance at the problem and approve it with message "it looks good" without even testing it
ZarthaxX: you got all the apps toad
ZarthaxX: sheez a lot
eulerscheZahl: now guess when the quest map was added
ZarthaxX: at the peak?
ZarthaxX: close to that time?
Wontonimo: 2020-07 ish
eulerscheZahl: at the rise in july
eulerscheZahl: yes
ZarthaxX: we are doooomed
ZarthaxX: lots of new comm puzzles too
ZarthaxX: :/
eulerscheZahl: sadly I don't have access to the voting
eulerscheZahl: *rating
ZarthaxX: what rating?
eulerscheZahl: clashers can vote if they liked it
eulerscheZahl: low rating => clash gets removed
Wontonimo: once i got access to approve/reject i spend 2 months curating the contribs ... then I just lost interest.
Wontonimo: too many people pushing crap for the quest
eulerscheZahl: and I did some cleanup to remove those that later got deleted. number reduced by maybe 2 dozen
ZarthaxX: sad Wontonimo
Wontonimo: very
Andriamanitra: yeah reviewing clashes properly really does feel like a losing battle
ZarthaxX: eulerscheZahl ah okey
eulerscheZahl: puzzle moderation is a lot of effort when you want to do it properly. I also stopped doing this
eulerscheZahl: (also because CG released some moderation guidelines which I disagree with)
Andriamanitra: you spend an hour looking at a puzzle and providing good feedback only to have 3 other people come in and validate a broken clash anyway
eulerscheZahl: so true
Wontonimo: i mostly focused on the puzzles
eulerscheZahl: even one of my own contributions (spaze maze) was approved without review
Wontonimo: probably they thought _you_ don't need actual review
Wontonimo: (oh good, it wasn't me)
ZarthaxX: space maze looks like a complicated one to test tho
ZarthaxX: and i agree with Wontonimo :P
ZarthaxX: toad just does everything right
ZarthaxX: freezed 3d dice? let that get approved anyway, its the toad
eulerscheZahl: that's exactly why Space Maze was pending for 3 months
ZarthaxX: complexity?
eulerscheZahl: yes, hard to solve
eulerscheZahl: you have a problem with the dice game?
ZarthaxX: i guess it makes sense
DaNinja: yes hard to solve within the time limit
ZarthaxX: i mean, there arent many very hard problems either
eulerscheZahl: one even did it in Python
ZarthaxX: eulerscheZahl sarcasm? :P
eulerscheZahl: ah good
ZarthaxX: wow
eulerscheZahl: thought the 3D library would case some problems for you
ZarthaxX: nah i love your work lol
ZarthaxX: i wanna try 3d too now
ZarthaxX: not on cg tho
eulerscheZahl: did you notice the broken dice layout?
ZarthaxX: em no
ZarthaxX: i still dont know what that game was about either
eulerscheZahl: 3 and 4 should be opposing each other (sum of 7)
ZarthaxX: didnt get the movement
eulerscheZahl: but they are neighbors
ZarthaxX: oh..
ZarthaxX: why is that?
ZarthaxX: thought you designed it
ZarthaxX: or you stole the design?
eulerscheZahl: that's what you get when you download free assets
ZarthaxX: haha
ZarthaxX: well, my gf is doing a 3d modelling course rn
ZarthaxX: so i told her i could use her 3d stuff to dosmth
eulerscheZahl: and Blender is really challenging for me
ZarthaxX: she asked me for 10 pieces to design
ZarthaxX: so now she is doing 3d chess pieces lol
ZarthaxX: blender is nto for us haha
ZarthaxX: she is not using blender tho, cinema 4d
eulerscheZahl: every tutorial: type HGFUDSAIHFIU done
ZarthaxX: i can tell her to make a dice for you
eulerscheZahl: I need an FBX to import in the end
ZarthaxX: for pixi?
eulerscheZahl: threejs
ZarthaxX: ah okey
ZarthaxX: i will ask her
eulerscheZahl: current vertex count is about 8000 for 1 die. which is already on the high end
ZarthaxX: well, if you continue with the project, but you kind of left it right?
eulerscheZahl: gets laggy with more
ZarthaxX: ah..
ZarthaxX: gotta make it with few polygons too
ZarthaxX: aight
eulerscheZahl: i'm mostly done with the game
ZarthaxX: looks mostly geometric, except for those borders
ZarthaxX: and holes
ZarthaxX: ah good
Wontonimo: try out some webgl
eulerscheZahl: needs some testing if the complexity is appropriate for a multiplayer game
ZarthaxX: sounds good
ZarthaxX: i will remember to ask her then
eulerscheZahl: but I'll only replace the dice if I like the new ones
eulerscheZahl: the current one looks pretty lit
eulerscheZahl: except for the numbers thing
ZarthaxX: are you challenging my gf capabilities good sir?
ZarthaxX: yeah looks super cool
ZarthaxX: i had exactly that dice
eulerscheZahl: you downloaded the same asset?
eulerscheZahl: but I edited it (merged vertices to reduce model size)
ZarthaxX: nono i meant in reality lol
ZarthaxX: same colors
eulerscheZahl: ah
ZarthaxX: oh and you still ahve vertex count limit? damn
eulerscheZahl: 8k is on the upper end of loading fast enough
eulerscheZahl: corners are already a bit pixelated
ZarthaxX: okey i see
ZarthaxX: do you want the same model but with less vertexes?
eulerscheZahl: less or equal depending on how it looks
eulerscheZahl: and sides swapped of course
eulerscheZahl: but I won't pay :(
ZarthaxX: she is learning
eulerscheZahl: all I'm willing to do is giving credits in the statement
ZarthaxX: i wasnt gonna ask for money lmao
ZarthaxX: that's fine :P
eulerscheZahl: I paid Zerp with a rare CG tshrit
eulerscheZahl: but i can't promise something that I don't have myself (contest is near but top20 isn't trivial)
ZarthaxX: she doesnt want a tshirt take it easy lol
Westicles: dice design by ZarthaxX's ex-gf
ZarthaxX: ex?
ZarthaxX: ;(
eulerscheZahl: future ex
ZarthaxX: ah okey
ZarthaxX: that's more probable
ZarthaxX: thanks guys, so positive
ZarthaxX: forgot you paid zerp with a tshirt
ZarthaxX: that guy never came back ;(
Wontonimo: hey, future could mean heat death of the universe
ZarthaxX: liked his art
ZarthaxX: Wontonimo that sounds awesome!
eulerscheZahl: he did the art first without expecting anything in return
eulerscheZahl: gave him the tshirt afterwards
ZarthaxX: so humble
ZarthaxX: both of u
eulerscheZahl: hungry*
eulerscheZahl: see you
ZarthaxX: bb :rofl:
C2H5OH: Smelty, i do nothing, just move to next checkpoint. Rank 92/123. How did you get rank 108/122 after 10 days ???
Mil27Coder: can someone help learn jvascript
Rimon_Nath: do a course in udemy
Rimon_Nath: java script by jonas sch..
MACKEYTH: Alright, first slcc bot is in the ring
jacek: good morning
DaNinja: morning
tridvajedan: g
Zero9X: hello everyone
Coder_prabhat: hello
Anonmousehhf: meow
jacek: :3
EdwinZ: :cat:
blakestone: hello, i have a number solving problem
blakestone: is this the best place to ask for assistance?
eulerscheZahl: just ask
blakestone: I am trying to write a solver which turns 4 objects at different steps.
eulerscheZahl: i think I need more context to understand what you are talking about
AntiSquid: reread your own sentence blakestone, how much information does the reader have ?
blakestone: example. I need to make all objects point NORTH and their starting point is: [E S S N] and they each have different steps such ash [1 3 1 2]
blakestone: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/f4b7d996-2123-4f06-87aa-eb02f7cfea09
blakestone: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/ba4df4bb-292e-4ba4-895c-8a07ec162095
AntiSquid: i am extremely confused and will walk away from this question in 3 seconds
blakestone: no worries - thanks anyways
jacek: return [t[i-1], t[i], t[i+1]] ?
jacek: such a helpful mod, isnt he
blakestone: It is a challenging problem to describe sorry
blakestone: It is a common challenge featured in many games and looking for a way to solve this via code.
DaNinja: a step is a rotation clockwise?
blakestone: yes they rotate clockwise
DaNinja: sounds like an interesting puzzle, you should create a contribution https://www.codingame.com/contribute/community
geppoz: blakestone do you mean that rotating an element, will also rotate his neighbours ?
Swetsen: hi!
EdwinZ: o/
Coder_prabhat: print("hello")
Swetsen: Println("hello in java")
Swetsen: forgot the semicolon...
jrke: print("hello") is ok for python
Coder_prabhat: luckily python don't know semicolon
Swetsen: ik im not rlly into java tbh
jrke: it knows ; is used for separating commands if you are writing it in one line like
jrke: print("hi")
print("hello")
is equal to
print("hi");print("hello")
Coder_prabhat: oh yeah i m sry
Coder_prabhat: it knows:joy:
blakestone: This may explain it better
blakestone: https://ibb.co/JnnRDPf
blakestone: I am trying to write a solver which solves that challenge.
eulerscheZahl: you find the index of a given color (red)
eulerscheZahl: then you rotate by exactly that index
eulerscheZahl: or if you can rotate in both directions: min(index, length-index)
blakestone: index meaning position?
rotating one also affects it's neighbouring objects
**YusufEmad04 slaps around a bit with a large fishbot
YusufEmad04: hellooo
**EdwinZ slaps his brother around a bit with a large fishbot
AntiSquid: reminds me of simon game blakestone
eulerscheZahl: of course rotation affects all colors. but when you solve one, you solve all of them
eulerscheZahl: so it's completely reasonable to just concentrate on solving one and ignoring the others
eulerscheZahl: and yes, index == position
AntiSquid: biden continues border wall construction, i feel like i either didn't sleep enough or probably didn't wake up today
eulerscheZahl: do you have a source for this? i just found https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/04/11/trumps-border-wall-belongs-biden-now/
eulerscheZahl: which says he still wants to invest a lot in the border (shocking enough) but not the wall itself
geppoz: blakestone so a solution will be B+B+A+A+A ?
AntiSquid: wants to plug the gaps
AntiSquid: https://imgur.com/a/94kWLnG eulerscheZahl
Louis.: salut everybody
AntiSquid: i am sure it will go through, biden promised some stuff and then made an U turn on a lot of things
AntiSquid: syria bombings . jeez, didn't take long for "we are back" to mean that
eulerscheZahl: i was cheering for Bernie :(

eulerscheZahl: no emoji spamming
Louis.: can anyone help me with contribution
Louis.: eulerscheZahl can u help me or anyother
Louis.: I have to right
Louis.: t=int(input())
for i in range(t):
Louis.: a,b int(i) in the Stub generator input
Louis.: how can i do it
AntiSquid: bernie would definitely be better than biden :D
Louis.: t=int(inout())
for i in range(t):
a,b int(i)
Louis.: in stub generator input
Louis.: AntiSquid you help me
eulerscheZahl: read t:int
loop t read a:int b:int
Louis.: o thanks
Louis.: eluerscheZahl
Pauloux: Hi
Louis.: eluerscheZahl i want a,b int (I)
Louis.: you solution made it
Louis.: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/8c9cdc4d-dc28-48cb-b690-4e6e3be69b5d
struct: not going to work
Louis.: what do you mean struct
Louis.: easy
struct: you want a and b to equal i?
Louis.: yeah
struct: Yeap not going to work
Louis.: a, b int(i
Louis.: )
Louis.: struct
Louis.: if i use that it takes smile like that only print a+b struct
Louis.: if i remove that that pretty sure some times to do it
struct: There is no stub command that does what you want
Louis.: ohh
Louis.: struct i remove loop t read a:int b:int to make it tricky
Louis.: thats not worked
struct: just send the value they need, make the people code the rest
struct: if they only need the i
struct: only send the i
Louis.: how
struct: i mean the t*
Louis.: i don't doing anything my mind go fuse
Louis.: it lot of complains i will remove it
LDami: hello guys !
AntiSquid: Louis. you can't demand like that
AntiSquid: and no i won't
Louis.: what do you mean
AntiSquid: you pinged me, what do you mean
Louis.: yeah
Louis.: i have to remove it because it answer only that print(a+b) it too simple AntiSquid
LDami: Can we watch a Clash of code in live ?
LDami: without participating
eulerscheZahl: if anyone is streaming it: yes
Louis.: yeah if anybody is live on twitch
Louis.: or anyother
AntiSquid: remove what and what does it have to do with me ?
Louis.: nothing lol
Louis.: contribution
AntiSquid: Louis.
Louis.: i am tolding my problem with stub generator input with struct
Louis.: AntiSquid how you be master in programming
LDami: Does spaces and line returns count in "shortest code" event ?
Louis.: you are lvl 50 i think you have many experience about programming
Louis.: yeah LDami
Louis.: yes
LDami: Ok :)
Louis.: you have to remove extra spaces LDami
LDami: even in conditions, for loop etc .. ?
LDami: "for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)" should be "for (int i=0;i<N;i++)" ?
struct: yes
struct: every char count
struct: for(int i=0;i++<N;)
Louis.: for(int i=0;i<N;i++)
Louis.: like that
Louis.: or yes you say correct
LDami: ok ! Thanks ^^
Louis.: good luck
struct: mine should be 1 char shorter
LDami: Thanks ahah
struct: but if you want to win shortest you cant use c++ imo
LDami: I don't know C++ ahah
LDami: and your solution does not work struct
struct: it doesnt?
struct: why not?
LDami: no time to check why, but I had a index array exception
struct: ah I see why
struct: because the i inside the loop will start at 1
struct: because you incremented it
LDami: oh, so it's ++i<N ?
struct: for(int i=0;N--;i++)
struct: no
LDami: oh
LDami: bruh, python developpers have 5 time less chars than me lol
AntiSquid: for i in range(N):
Louis.: yeah that because for short code pythn is good
AntiSquid: Automaton2000 why are there so many for loops in chat
Automaton2000: you're the one that is
Louis.: and C++ is too bad
LDami: I'm still 2nd :D It depends of the language ?
Louis.: yeah
AntiSquid: i'm a for loop Automaton2000 ? @_@ what is the number i increment up to ?
Automaton2000: but what's the point of view
EdwinZ: :joy:
Louis.: AntiSquid are you okk
EdwinZ: Automaton2000 it is fun how people change their flag isn't :joy:
Automaton2000: i know one of the easier ones
ErrorRazor: Automaton2000 the French one?
Automaton2000: if i had a good bot
ErrorRazor: Automaton2000 USA?
Automaton2000: how can you see my code ?
ErrorRazor: Automaton2000 I hacked you
Automaton2000: need to work in office
Louis.: can u just stop that AntiSquid
EdwinZ: :rolling_eyes:
AntiSquid: :thinking:
Louis.: what are you thinking man
EdwinZ: what are you saying man
Louis.: ohh
AntiSquid: ?
struct: Anyone else has small hicups vs default AI?
struct: my code goes from 10ms to 30ms+ on random turns, localy its completely fine
struct: if i play vs myself in ide nothing unusual happens :/
ErrorRazor: You sure you aren't timing the AI's turn? :joy:
struct: nope
struct: Im just timing my search function
AntiSquid: Louis. ?
eulerscheZahl: gone. you kicked him
AntiSquid: but then he came back
AntiSquid: and kicked again :/
eulerscheZahl: right. I was afk for a while
AntiSquid: he PMed me someone banned him in main chat :(
struct: Unlikely
eulerscheZahl: i would see if that had happened
eulerscheZahl: as would you
AntiSquid: he said by :(
struct: even if someone used external client?
eulerscheZahl: banned by sad emoji?
AntiSquid: he said he won't post in main chat anymore :(
eulerscheZahl: would have to test that
eulerscheZahl: hi from external client
eulerscheZahl: let me kick squid and struct tells me if he sees the message, ok?
struct: fine by me
eulerscheZahl: enough confirmation for me
struct: Can you kick mods though?
eulerscheZahl: yes. just not sure if the command even worked from external client
struct: I saw no message
**AntiSquid is kicked and not here at all
EdwinZ: :rolling_eyes:
eulerscheZahl: does that work differently in gajim?
**AntiSquid is feeling the emojis although kicked
struct: I have no idea
eulerscheZahl: "this jabber entity does not expose any commands"
eulerscheZahl: you are a bad entity AntiSquid
AntiSquid: maybe it doesn't go through from server side ? eh ?? i mean why would
AntiSquid: it
eulerscheZahl: but i can still see Louis. in the list of participants
AntiSquid: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/4672d8cf-4183-40e5-a718-db8002bc85ee
AntiSquid: he said okk
Marchete: banned from world?
Marchete: sounds a bit drastic :D
struct: First man to mars?
emerzon: start
ShannonNorris97: I don't suppose anyone might know why this is happening please? They're normal prints https://i.imgur.com/LEXEQMl.png
struct: What was the output supposed to be like?
geppoz: maybe it is expected something more?
ShannonNorris97: The output is supposed to be the same as what's being printed. It's on the CGX formatter puzzle
AntiSquid: struct it says "found nothing", is it common for puzzles if your output is wrong ?
struct: console.log('(\n 0\n)');
struct: works fine
struct: I think so
ShannonNorris97: Ah I think I found it, I was trying to separate the string out, and the first one was actually empty, hence it finding nothing. Thank you for your help
LDami: Royal Code is a quite long to load my script, is it normal ? (comparing to other games)
struct: I think the time is the same for all games
struct: I could be wrong though
BlaiseEbuth: Compil time matter
struct: my bot is wasting the boosts in less than 10 turns :/
ZarthaxX: anxious
LDami: I think mine is using the boost as soon as possible ahah
struct: level 40 nice ZarthaxX
ZarthaxX: that was some days ago, ty :*
eulerscheZahl: finally legend color
ZarthaxX: finally
eulerscheZahl: did you solve puzzles or wait for upvotes?
ZarthaxX: now i need top 100 for the legend color
ZarthaxX: coc quest map
ZarthaxX: worst answer possible
ZarthaxX: :D
eulerscheZahl: indeed :D
ZarthaxX: got to top 1k and bla
BlaiseEbuth: :nauseated_face:
ZarthaxX: also 500 cocs
ZarthaxX: that got me legend
ZarthaxX: worst way to achieve it i guess
eulerscheZahl: *click* *click* *click* done
ZarthaxX: :rofl:
ZarthaxX: coc is fun tho
eulerscheZahl: you risk a kick
BlaiseEbuth: I disinherit you.
ZarthaxX: not always..
ZarthaxX: wow the 2 mods agree
ZarthaxX: i will shut up :)
ZarthaxX: coc sucks guys
eulerscheZahl: my grandma always told me she would disinherit me if i'd ever start smoking
ZarthaxX: and you did
eulerscheZahl: at that point i had no idea what inheritance means
Marchete: do you smoke?
eulerscheZahl: hell no. i hate smoking
Marchete: ahh
Marchete: a smoker vegan could be weird
jacek: vaping vegan perhaps
eulerscheZahl: i'm too spontaneous to plan my suicide 20 years in advance
jacek: i can plan it for you
eulerscheZahl: thank you, that's dedication
eulerscheZahl: i either want train or bridge if that's possible
BlaiseEbuth: So you're from the ones who want to piss off others even at death time ? ... Like it
ZarthaxX: are you wishing for a train or bridge death?
ZarthaxX: lol BlaiseEbuth :rofl:
ZarthaxX: train one is annoying too
ZarthaxX: jumping off a cliff is better :)
KiwiTae: or stop breathing for too long
KiwiTae: o/
eulerscheZahl: you will loose consciousness and start breathing again
jacek: been there done that?
eulerscheZahl: no
struct: Seems normal
ZarthaxX: KiwiTae heyo
struct: Was trying to eval boosts without discounting them
struct: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
ZarthaxX: :rofl:
ZarthaxX: booooost all the time baby
ShannonNorris97: Uh-oh, my CGX Formatter passed all the test cases, but fails two of the validators. Not sure how I'm going to go about fixing those haha
LDami: For bots game, the rank depend of the league right ? It's not a global rank ?
struct: you have league rank and global rank
KiwiTae: ShannonNorris97 what your code gives back if u input '()'
LDami: Is it, I get the answer by myself :3
struct: You can check global rank on your profile or the multi global leaderboard
LDami: Oh yeah, global rank is disapointing, but league rank is ok :D
ShannonNorris97: kiwitae it gives back the brackets on separate lines
KiwiTae: which test u failing?
eulerscheZahl: are you an alt account of MK?
eulerscheZahl: or when did you start writing "u" instead of "you"?
jacek: ask him what he feels about csb
ShannonNorris97: I pass all the normal test cases, but then fail validators 4 and 6: Simple string of characters which must not be modified, and Simple key/value with spaces
KiwiTae: eulerscheZahl :joy:
ZarthaxX: lol
struct: MSmits you are not rank 1 anymore on Yavalath
struct: Damn it didnt work
jacek: oO
struct: I just tried to summon him
ZarthaxX: haha
eulerscheZahl: he appears to be online
eulerscheZahl: maybe with some gentle force?
**eulerscheZahl slaps MSmits around a bit with a large fishbot
eulerscheZahl: i can't tab him but he has the green dot. ?disableChat maybe
KiwiTae: ShannonNorris97 u keep string delimiters?
struct: He had enough of me :disappointed:
eulerscheZahl: that "u" thing is triggering me more than it should
ZarthaxX: i teached him :relaxed:
KiwiTae: loool didn't want to upset you
ZarthaxX: good boi kiwo keep doin that
BlaiseEbuth: u should relax ez
ShannonNorris97: KiwiTae Yeah I'm using regular expressions to separate quotes and non-quotes, then removing all spacing from non-quoted parts
struct: Dont trigger euler :(
eulerscheZahl: i like that idea of comparing chess engines
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-rUciTRYaw
ZarthaxX: eulerscheZahl wanna play a coc with me?
jacek: Automaton2000 where is AutomatonNN
Automaton2000: do you print the input to stderr
KiwiTae: ZarthaxX Oo
ZarthaxX: lol didnt know those bots played chess
struct: They dont seem strong at all
ZarthaxX: i win google is the best :rofl:
ZarthaxX: sorry im not sure lol
jacek: oO
AntiSquid: chess is overrated
**AntiSquid leaves chat
jacek: urmum
AntiSquid: don't be a cunt
struct: o.o
jacek: oO
Wontonimo: time to fill the chat and scroll this away.
struct: This is what Automaton2000 was designed for
Automaton2000: there was a way to tell the difference
Wontonimo: hey Automaton2000
Automaton2000: now i need to search for the files under control of the implementation. typical implementations search only standard include directories. ...
alphadragon: o-o-o
alphadragon: o-o
jacek: castling eh
alphadragon: haa
struct: remove castling please
Wontonimo: hey alphadragon, i don't think I've ever seen you around
jacek: nerf queen plx
Wontonimo: hey, let's just remove pawns also
struct: remove en passant
Wontonimo: and the board, the board is a real pain
jacek: make it hex
Wontonimo: 3d hex
Wontonimo: with warp holes
Astrobytes: wow, that language was a little... excessive?
Astrobytes: grats on your bot Wontonimo, it's doing great!
struct: Nice rank 6
Astrobytes: You gonna submit today struct?
struct: yes, its last day
struct: Im not hiding
struct: I just dont have a finished bot
Astrobytes: Not like you to leave it right up to the last minute :P
jacek: 1st or delete account
struct: Well I guess I can delete now
struct: No need to wait
struct: I already know who will win
BlaiseEbuth: Farewell struct :(
struct: Do they do recalc games after its over?
ZarthaxX: dapo?
jrke: don't leave othello alone ;)
BlaiseEbuth: Nein
struct: Ja
Astrobytes: afk, back shortly
Wontonimo: thanks Astrobytes !!
BlaiseEbuth: For being afk ?
Wontonimo: no, that was just a coincidence
Wontonimo: see earlier if interested
BlaiseEbuth: :3
Wontonimo: hmm ... and then Astrobytes 's bot pulled me down 3 ranks ... alas
struct: my todo is getting bigger instead of smaller
Wontonimo: i know the feeling . for my own code scope creep is eternal
EdwinZ: Automaton2000 hi
Automaton2000: u can't get unpromoted, famout
jacek: oO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60cNyLdVqMI
VergilX: Hey, are we supposed to ask for help in this chat? Just askin;
struct: http://how-to-properly-ask-a-question.surge.sh/
LDami: Just ask your question :) But you can maybe find the solution in the forum
Wontonimo: yes, VergilX ... just ask your question
VergilX: Thank you. I'm new here, so I just asked if I could ask. Thanks LDami and Wontonimo :'D
EdwinZ: is twitch down :unamused: i can't watch stream
VergilX: I don't use twitch sorry
VergilX: Thanks to struct too!
LDami: Twitch is OK for me
EdwinZ: ok
BlaiseEbuth: You don't use twitch, twitch uses you.
EdwinZ: oO
SammyTheHut: :nerd:
jacek: what was the question? :thinking:
BlaiseEbuth: yes
KiwiTae: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/5ef35dea-0953-45e6-ad82-d43621606d35
struct: The question was if he could ask questions here
KiwiTae: EdwinZ not down
EdwinZ: ok tnx
VergilX: Yep :laughing:
LDami: you can ping the website but not the streaming service ;)
EdwinZ: mm
Smelty: good morning
EdwinZ: o/
LDami: good morning ! (afternoon for me :3)
EdwinZ: does doing bot programming is neccecary to become mentor ?
eulerscheZahl: might be enough to do clash+optim+golf
EdwinZ: ok :)
jacek: do you want a mentor that has only done clash though
EdwinZ: :D
EdwinZ: nop
BlaiseEbuth: Mentor of what ?
eulerscheZahl: CG level
EdwinZ: yup
eulerscheZahl: you are grand master BlaiseEbuth
jacek: the bar is really low
EdwinZ: :\
EdwinZ: top 5000 that is my target : p
BlaiseEbuth: I know euler. But I don't remember the lower lvls
Smelty: (go struct)
struct: ?
Smelty: good luck in ccsl
Smelty: *slcc
struct: thanks
eulerscheZahl: and good luck with css
kovi: what is slcc?
eulerscheZahl: semi-private contest
eulerscheZahl: CSB with 1 pod
eulerscheZahl: https://www.codingame.com/hackathon/sofia-labs-coding-challenge/leaderboard/global
Smelty: and up to 3 players
eulerscheZahl: ends this evening
eulerscheZahl: PS5 for the winner
Smelty: i cant get it though because i'm american
kovi: hiders gonna get this?
eulerscheZahl: i can't get it because i'm alergic to CSB
AntiSquid: some D players on there
BlaiseEbuth: No. You can't get it 'cause your not daporan
eulerscheZahl: we'll see soon, ends in a few hours
Smelty: yep
kovi: no time lately anyway, have to spare for spring challenge
AntiSquid: what else are you doing
eulerscheZahl: i'm not sure if i want to try https://www.gocoder.one/aisports
kovi: udacity selfdriving
Smelty: 5k plus? hmm
eulerscheZahl: while they are after each other (tiny intersection) i'm not sure if I want to do both
Smelty: idk
AntiSquid: the nano-degree ? or just regular tutorial ?
LDami: When I print " | ", the spaces are not printed :thinking: did you ever had this issue ?
eulerscheZahl: no
Smelty: just print " " + "|" + " " as an alternative?
kovi: nano
Smelty: with 1 space an each of 1 and 3
eulerscheZahl: nano us much easier to start with than vim
LDami: does not work @smelty :/ something must be broken in my code
AntiSquid: got to finish it in one month
kovi: you did whole course in 1 month?
Smelty: LDami yea probably
Smelty: also for Coder One you can participate as a team...hmm
BlaiseEbuth: Yé!
BlaiseEbuth: I'll team up with me
Smelty: sMort
AntiSquid: i didn't pay for any of the courses, but it says it costs 300 / month, would only do it if i had time and it's definitely possible, but don't want to pay @_@
Smelty: o.o
struct: Ok 6 hours left
Smelty: 6 hours 8 minutes
Smelty: yep
LDami: I understood my error, I was using WriteLine instead of Write .. so my string was truncated
Smelty: :)
eulerscheZahl: that makes no sense. WriteLine prints spaces too
LDami: Yep, but the second line was sent before receiving the new datas
eulerscheZahl: oh
Smelty: I'm using java, the System.out.println prints everything
Smelty: ohh okay
Smelty: Battle of the legends: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/539643025
LDami: The game is waiting for 1 line, I was printing 5 at the same time ^^
Smelty: oh xD
Smelty: also fort he slcc do the longer maps have less laps
Smelty: *for the
eulerscheZahl: will this be another contest where struct puts a lot of effort into it and then forgets to hit "submit"?
ZarthaxX: prob
ZarthaxX: at least he threw optims yesterday
Smelty: uh oh
AntiSquid: makes hexagon CSB game
eulerscheZahl: if he deletes the account and creates a new one, he'll has to ask Thibaud to regain mod status
Smelty: oh..
struct: I have something ready
struct: Im just not sure if its good
Smelty: :0
BlaiseEbuth: So don't submit
struct: I did not put a lot of effort into it
AntiSquid: add more hex
Smelty: i just did a if/else thingy
AntiSquid: i am sure it's beautiful, what is it struct?
Smelty: ^^
struct: yes I like my AI
struct: might not be the best
struct: But I enjoy watching it play
Smelty: can u submit and i can test my bot against it
Smelty: :D
struct: soon
struct: I tested and I beated you
Smelty: good
EdwinZ: :p
struct: https://i.imgur.com/0NEv0vA.png
Smelty: well at least your bot beat the "basic" ai
struct: yes
Smelty: I'm sure you'll be okay
struct: you use all the boosts instantly smelty?
Smelty: yEp
Smelty: i just stopped updating my code
Smelty: i know I should save it for the best ones but...meh
AntiSquid: come on smelty
AntiSquid: you can go higher
Smelty: lol
AntiSquid: i wrote a 5 minute bot in D
Smelty: wow
AntiSquid: ah maybe it's java that's holding you back
AntiSquid: unleash the D
Smelty: hmt
Smelty: at what distance can you effectively use a boost
struct: Im not sure
struct: Its based on your current speed also
Smelty: I'll put 5000 and add a backup
AntiSquid: struct what rank do you get if you submit?
struct: I dont know
struct: I didnt bench
struct: I only played vs default AI and self
AntiSquid: can you beat the other D guy ?
struct: I dont think so
struct: There are maps I dont boost at all
struct: So might be a reason
AntiSquid: new plan then, no delete, but if you don't beat bon crayon you need to switch to D
Smelty: that
Smelty: 's weird
AntiSquid: better than delete
Smelty: my rank went up 10 after i decided to stop wasting boosts o.O
AntiSquid: ofc, boosts are important
struct: What should my var name be for checkpointcount * laps?
Smelty: my longest distance calculator is going cray cray
Smelty: checkAmount
Smelty: or checkTotal
LDami: allCheckpoints ?
AntiSquid: fullJourney
struct: thanks
struct: I'm going to minimize chat now so I can focus
Smelty: okay, good luck :D
Smelty: how do you check your current lap
Smelty: nvm i got it
Smelty: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/539658038
Wontonimo: Smelty your bot isn't using boosts in this replay https://www.codingame.com/replay/539660943
eulerscheZahl: and why did you stop boosting Wontonimo?
Smelty: hmm weird
Wontonimo: what do you mean eulerscheZahl ?
eulerscheZahl: you boosted 3 times in the beginning
eulerscheZahl: and then you didn't
jacek: he used up all the boosts
Smelty: ithink the checkpoints were too far
Smelty: so my ai thoguht it was bad
Smelty: *thoughgt
eulerscheZahl: oh, BOOST is still a limited resource?
Smelty: yes
eulerscheZahl: i didn't try the contest :D
Wontonimo: ah
Smelty: the var boosts shows u how man ther are
jacek: eulerscheZahl you dont do contests? so youre not 5%?
eulerscheZahl: i'm doing interesting contests
eulerscheZahl: such as topcoder recently
eulerscheZahl: tourist played that too. but not on CG. so mine was tourist approved
Wontonimo: Smelty , here is a replay of your bot vs a friend of mine LazyMammal https://www.codingame.com/replay/539662398
Wontonimo: looks like you have a very similar AI
Smelty: hmmmm
Wontonimo: if you add a cooldown to your boosts, you'll prevent burning through them
Wontonimo: or limit your boosts to 1 per checkpoint maybe
Smelty: true
Smelty: i got to go play in a soccer match soon tho
Smelty: i might implement it when i get back
wlesavo: euler whats next for you besides CG and codejam?
eulerscheZahl: https://www.gocoder.one/aisports
not 100% sure yet
struct: How hard is it to setup docker?
eulerscheZahl: starter bots in python+typescript
if you are familiar with docker, you can user whatever you want
eulerscheZahl: haven't tried yet
Smelty: Alright got to go play in a soccer match, see ya
eulerscheZahl: ran some code in docker years ago for a university project
eulerscheZahl: grading system for homework, pretty similar to CG testcases
eulerscheZahl: you play soccer now?
eulerscheZahl: i couldn't play since early november :(
eulerscheZahl: damn virus
EdwinZ: :worried:
struct: I dont play since february last year
eulerscheZahl: i have a right to get injured
struct: :(
eulerscheZahl: and for ZarthaxX the situation is even worse
struct: I didnt play soccer though, I played 3vs3 and futsal
eulerscheZahl: and astro with his back pain
Astrobytes: yep
eulerscheZahl: 3 vs 3 is fun too, you get to play the ball more often
Wontonimo: i haven't played soccer since i was 14
EdwinZ: :joy:
Astrobytes: 5 or 7-a-side was fun back in the days when I played a bit
eulerscheZahl: i have no idea how old you are now to put that in relation Wontonimo
jacek: :notebook: :soccer:?
eulerscheZahl: :door:
jacek: how do you play it 3v3
struct: small goals
struct: no goalkeeper
struct: Ok there is a "goalkeeper"
struct: But you need to be in a certain distance from the goal
jacek: on paper?
EdwinZ: :joy:
struct: At least with the rules/field I used to play with
Wontonimo: this was my first contest but considering it "doesn't count", does that leave me a contest faux virgin? so confusing
eulerscheZahl: did you get the achievement?
Wontonimo: "Start a contest +10"? nope
eulerscheZahl: case closed
Wontonimo: i like your methods of deduction
Wontonimo: SLCC has gotten me interested in revisiting search race.
f0ru0l0rd: This is my first time using this. I really don't understand something, and it isn't quite intuitive... I'm using JS. What is the string?
Westicles: The only good thing about soccer is every 4 years watching the different H1B groups go from ignoring each other to hating each other
struct: What do you mean f0ru0l0rd
struct: What is the string?
f0ru0l0rd: what value is the input in this, and how can I access it?
f0ru0l0rd: const n = parseInt(readline());
for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
const line = readline();
}
struct: readline()
struct: line should be the string
struct: n should equal to the number of lines
f0ru0l0rd: and yet console log line says screw me
struct: console.error()
struct: to debug
f0ru0l0rd: ok
f0ru0l0rd: but how do I just run it without testing it
f0ru0l0rd: because if I console.log(line) then nothing
f0ru0l0rd: if I console.error(line)... nothing
struct: Which puzzle?
f0ru0l0rd: Like, I want to see what I'm looking at
f0ru0l0rd: Gorbit69 clash of code - reverse mode
f0ru0l0rd: count the mount peaks
struct: Paste your code here
f0ru0l0rd: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/e9f3d7b2-b917-410e-8e11-4f3efbf92d34
f0ru0l0rd: but um... no.
f0ru0l0rd: I hit test and this is what I get.
f0ru0l0rd: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/a74a01a0-b943-49c0-9ae2-3a3385dfa434
struct: yeah line is out of scope
f0ru0l0rd: I'm just hoping I guess for a standard console
f0ru0l0rd: and I'm not getting a standard console
dawici: line stops existing after the for loops ends; you need to access it inside the for loop because it has different values each time the loop iterates
f0ru0l0rd: yes, I get that
struct: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/5eadec59-f208-49d8-8560-862f566b6c92
f0ru0l0rd: but what I'm saying is, I can't console.log("hi, this seems fu@%!");
struct: you can
struct: is just not the expected answer
f0ru0l0rd: Maybe somethings wrong with my system, I've had several issues with firewalls, but I don't even get that in the console output
f0ru0l0rd: It does not show that in the console. =( it doesn't show anything =(
struct: The code I pasted doenst work at all?
f0ru0l0rd: It doesn't show anything in the console, no
f0ru0l0rd: =(
f0ru0l0rd: for a while I couldn't even get into the clash of code, it wouldn't even open after counting down
f0ru0l0rd: this is my first time trying this site, and =( I'm feeling pretty miserable about the experience =(
KiwiTae: lol no worry gets better
f0ru0l0rd: Here's to hoping.
KiwiTae: u sure you selected JS in the ide?
f0ru0l0rd: yes
BlaiseEbuth: What console are you talking about? Not the browser one, just to be sure.
KiwiTae: or if nothing working maybe press reset code
f0ru0l0rd: no not the browser one
f0ru0l0rd: reset code... I didn't think of that
f0ru0l0rd: I may try that. see if it jostles turning something on.
KiwiTae: eulerscheZahl sorry i typed u again :kissing:
f0ru0l0rd: Like I said, I couldn't even get to the coding competetion the first time.
f0ru0l0rd: It would count down, then do nothing but sit there and look at me stupid.
BlaiseEbuth: That's a known bug. Not on your side
f0ru0l0rd: So... I'm thinking a connection is not playing nice.
f0ru0l0rd: =(
f0ru0l0rd: Is the console disappearing a known bug?
BlaiseEbuth: Nope
f0ru0l0rd: *not showing anything
BlaiseEbuth: Just the launching issue in coc
f0ru0l0rd: I'll just have to try again.
f0ru0l0rd: But thank you.
struct: same happens here?
struct: https://tech.io/snippet/V0GJ2Fk
f0ru0l0rd: That one is long gone.
f0ru0l0rd: 8 minutes is past.. I'm re-opening
f0ru0l0rd: and hoping I can see something this time
Westicles: I don't think the cite works on a phone
Westicles: site
BlaiseEbuth: f0ru0l0rd just to be sure: https://imgur.com/jeaxG9b
f0ru0l0rd: It worked this time
f0ru0l0rd: and I've passed
f0ru0l0rd: It was timed, and I did fine.
f0ru0l0rd: and it worked
f0ru0l0rd: =(
f0ru0l0rd: so.... I don't know what happened, but hopefully a weird fluke. =?
Keshraf: Keshraf 11:39PM
Can someone give me advice for web dev?
Astrobytes: Always keep your desk clean.
struct: So much stuff left to do so little time
Astrobytes: you can do it
BlaiseEbuth: ur time is too fast struct. Fix it
jrke: for slcc i have writtin completely new code no copy pasting from CSB can't debug it in less time now :rolling_eyes:
Westicles: Amazing how much interest another boring CSB contest is getting
Westicles: Demand is way beyond supply for these things
jrke: 1 year ago in month of april i started CSB for the first time
jacek: and now youre doing meth. CSB, not even once
Anonmousehhf: I love that I got a clash working to 3/4 testcases, and then 1/4 validators...
EdwinZ: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
jrke: india is breaking record in corona cases last day it was 155k
Anonmousehhf: óh wow

Astrobytes: gn jrke
jacek: and euler still up?
Astrobytes: not sure
BlaiseEbuth: It's a toad not a chicken

Astrobytes: Lies. That never happens.
BlaiseEbuth: 'fcourse, I don't use vs

BlaiseEbuth: Stop hidding
struct: My bot is bad dont worry
BlaiseEbuth: So push it
ItayBeladev: I need to be bronze at one more thing in the AI category, but I don't want to do something that takes a lot time to read or something that has a lot of inputs, what can I do?
jacek: coders strike back
jacek: but then youll need to reach bronze in 2 games
ItayBeladev: Yea I am already bronze at it
struct: STC
struct: Smash the code
struct: Hypersonic
struct: Maybe hypersonic takes a bit
struct: STC is faster
ItayBeladev: And I forgot to mention, I dont want something with complex algorithm like pathfinding, minimax and these things
BlaiseEbuth: lel
struct: on stc you need an if
ItayBeladev: thats it
ItayBeladev: lol
Wontonimo: hey ItayBeladev, it'll be quite difficult to do well in almost any bot competition without a simulator. CSB the only one i know where you can get to silver fairly consistently with just if/than/else and math
Wontonimo: you may be able to do https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/tic-tac-toe/leaderboard?column=LEAGUE&value=silver
Wontonimo: and the simulator for it is straight forward enough
Wontonimo: ItayBeladev what programming language do you prefer?
gilufin: פייתון לא?
Wontonimo: english please
ItayBeladev: Python
jacek: mhm
Anonmousehhf: I mostly prefer Python, yet for my own (not) good, I sometimes challange myself to use Pascal
jacek: mhm
VizGhar: try resource management games ItayBeladev - Code Royale maybe?
Wontonimo: oh, yeah ItayBeladev, Code Royal may be an easier challenge than what I suggested
jacek: you really suggested uttt :thinking:
Smelty: I'm back
BlaiseEbuth: :scream:
Astrobytes: iirc you can get bronze in UTTT by doing very, very little
Smelty: :grin:
Smelty: my team beat the other team 6:1
Astrobytes: Code Royale involves reading 192456 inputs first
Smelty: wow
jacek: Astrobytes lies. it would timeout the referee
Astrobytes: I may have exaggerated a little.
Astrobytes: There are many inputs.
struct: botg easiest one
struct: /s
Smelty: hi struct
struct: hi
Astrobytes: lol

Smelty: hmm
Scarfield: 17th Wontonimo :muscle:
Smelty: nice
Scarfield: got your GA working, or another appraoch?
Smelty: hm-?
Wontonimo: thanks Scarfield !
Smelty: :0
Astrobytes: he was 6th earlier Scarflate
Smelty: 16th now!
Smelty: o
Astrobytes: That's one fierce lb though :D
Scarfield: oh damn, nice improvement since yesterday!
Scarfield: ille on 20th though?
Smelty: oof
Astrobytes: just submitted
Scarfield: oh yea
Smelty: nice
Astrobytes: Have to admit I've enjoyed this
Scarfield: yea its a nice twist on csb, not sorry i was part of dragging you in :p
Smelty: https://www.codingame.com/replay/539698983
Smelty: nice
Astrobytes: No I'm grateful to you and Wontonimo for dragging me into it :D
Wontonimo: the main changes in my bot since yesterday are:
- assume other bots don't boost
- include boosts in my evaluation function to be roughly equal to 1000 pixels distance
Smelty: ooh nice
Wontonimo: those two things are basically the difference between yesterdays ~26th and todays
Astrobytes: yeah I never bothered tracking opponent boosts either tbh
struct: I just did a hacky version
Smelty: hrmm\
struct: Maybe we need a csb like game but with fuel
Smelty: thats a good idea
Scarfield: hmm, i do assume my opponents can use their remaining boosts (if any)
VizGhar: I'd like to see tower defense optim
jacek: tower dereference?
VizGhar: yup, but maybe more on steroids and single player
Smelty: w-
Smelty: hmmm
struct: 2 hours to write eval
struct: :)
Wontonimo: go struct go !
Astrobytes: intriguing idea struct (and VizGhar, also hi VizGhar, didn't see you for a bit!)
Scarfield: any idea how the placements are gonna work, when the contest ends? resubmit of top bots
Smelty: wow https://www.codingame.com/replay/539699822
Astrobytes: You got this struct!
Smelty: ^^
Scarfield: my eval is super simple tbh
Wontonimo: :) Smelty
Smelty: :)
Astrobytes: that game was decided very early :D
Smelty: yep
Scarfield: :'(
Scarfield: you mean it was rigged im sure
Wontonimo: My eval is "1000*boosts_remaining - distance_to_win"
Wontonimo: or 1e100 if win
Smelty: rematch: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/539700577
jacek: seems big. how floats comparison goes then?
struct: you dont keep track of passed checkpoints Wontonimo?
struct: eval* them
Astrobytes: nice use of boosts by my bot there
Wontonimo: struct i pre-calculate the distance between checkpoints, and add them all up. Taht's the total distance
VizGhar: yeah Astrobytes. haven't been here for a while. new job and a lot of work
Scarfield: seems submits are still very slow(?)
VizGhar: 60hr work week + 3 kids... kinda difficult
Astrobytes: Oh, congrats on the new job then VizGhar :)
Smelty: ^
Astrobytes: Heh, yeah for sure!
VizGhar: thank you
Scarfield: 60hr sounds rough
Smelty: yea
Wontonimo: i did something like "checkpoints_cleared * 50000 - distance_to_next_checkpoint" , but what happens is it puts too much value on preventing the opponent from reaching the next checkpoint instead of racing to the next one
Wontonimo: i found that my bot would be ahead, then just as the opponent is about to reach at checkpoint, my bot would turn around! and try to stop them
VizGhar: Scarfield you bet... I've started teaching on one high schools without proper materials, so preparation is tough
VizGhar: it'll get easier in year or two
Astrobytes: Nice solution to that particular problem Wontonimo
Astrobytes: Did you reuse your CSB code initially?
Wontonimo: thanks Astrobytes. Also, congrats VizGhar !
Wontonimo: yes, i totally stole my CSB code
Smelty: o . o
Astrobytes: Me too, though I ripped a lot out
Wontonimo: i don't think i would have entered this competition if i hadn't already done CSB
Astrobytes: I think I did the pod 'football/soccer' one before I did CSB properly
Astrobytes: Another semi-private
VizGhar: thanks Wontonimo :) So what's new here except of escape rooms?
Wontonimo: how long have you been gone? Back in July they introduced the quest map
Astrobytes: He's been here since :D
Astrobytes: Not sure there's much you've missed to be honest, probably a few new community multis
VizGhar: I've gone missing since new year
BlaiseEbuth: What a hangover...
VizGhar: :D
Astrobytes: :rofl:
jacek: :thinking:
Astrobytes: struct, watch your time man, submits are over an hour
AntiSquid: is that challenge still going on?
struct: :pensive:
AntiSquid: link to leaderboard pls ?
struct: https://www.codingame.com/contests/sofia-labs-coding-challenge/leaderboard
Astrobytes: https://www.codingame.com/contests/sofia-labs-coding-challenge/leaderboard
Astrobytes: ah
AntiSquid: until french midnight ?
struct: ye
AntiSquid: oui *
Westicles: We've been discussing on the council of elders to end it early
Westicles: To discourage hiding
Astrobytes: lol
AntiSquid: more like punishing it
AntiSquid: look at the flags, just ille hanging in there
Astrobytes: pb4 is looking real good
Zenoscave: Still no dapo?
Astrobytes: not until the end
Zenoscave: So an hour XD
Astrobytes: :)
Zenoscave: top ~25% with ruby. not bad
Westicles: he won't beat pb4
Wontonimo: nice Zenoscave !
Zenoscave: probably could have tweaked a bit more args but meh, not fun at that point
Astrobytes: it's hung in there quite steady Zeno
Zenoscave: Thanks Wontonimo
Astrobytes: pewpewpew'ing and standing it's ground :)
Zenoscave: PEWPEWPEW
BlaiseEbuth: pew pew!
Astrobytes: Westicles: It's going to be interesting I think :)
Westicles: weird
Westicles: https://www.codingame.com/replay/539700920
Wontonimo: i like it
Wontonimo: the one in second has decided t ochange strategy and instead focus on trying to timeout the opponent
Astrobytes: Jeff got angle issues
AntiSquid: pb's doesn't look like pure NN
Wontonimo: no, handing back to block the leader from clearing the next checkpoint
AntiSquid: might be rule based, completely
struct: pb4 bot bullying others :(
ZarthaxX: smashing it
Astrobytes: oh I see it, still, it's not working :)
Wontonimo: *hanging , not handing
Astrobytes: think we all got it ;)
Astrobytes: any more tricks up your sleeve Wontonimo?
Astrobytes: I kinda wish I'd started this at the contest start lol
Wontonimo: i'm trying stuff :D
Astrobytes: Welcome to my Sunday :D
Wontonimo: without a local test env, it's all shooting in the dark
Astrobytes: Yeah, if I'd started earlier and/or been more enthusiastic I would have made the effort.
Not overly bothered, just happy for some kind of contest tbh
AntiSquid: coulda shoulda woulda
BlaiseEbuth: hey hey hey
Westicles: Fat Albert?
AntiSquid: time to do another bloody test at home bs
Wontonimo: that was a weird show
Astrobytes: damnnn Fat Albert, totally forgot about that
Astrobytes: Was there ever an episode where Albert gets some 'lude action? :P (sorry)
Wontonimo: i just remember that sound bite and the one guy wearing a hat with eyeholes
Astrobytes: Peculiar indeed.
AntiSquid: negative
Astrobytes: oh, you did a LF test
AntiSquid: ya
AntiSquid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpMAd7uXMSY
AntiSquid: wrong video, wanted to share one where he just says "you know the thing"
Astrobytes: I pulled a huge bogey out on one of my care home visits. Was half-embarrassed and half-amused.
They don't half make your eyes water those things.
AntiSquid: crazy how much crap can be stuck in your nose
Astrobytes: Yeah, I always try to clean it beforehand but it's a ... fairly deep-digging swab
AntiSquid: one time i had to blow out a somewhat big piece of bread out of my nose, laughing while eating, coughed, a bit went up somehow into the nostril ...
Smelty: o.O
AntiSquid: crazy
AntiSquid: they recommended i don't push too deep at home, just blow nose beforehand, it's a highly sensitive area
Astrobytes: lol
AntiSquid: lol to the bread bit or to the pushing too deep (pulling out bits of brain) ?
Astrobytes: Both :D
Zenoscave: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Zenoscave: Ille werking my submit
AntiSquid: oh no, tell him to stop
Zenoscave: ;)
Zenoscave: Ille stop
BlaiseEbuth: (_°□°)_ pew pew pew ┻━┻
Zenoscave: pew pew pew
Astrobytes: wepwepwep
Wontonimo: got any new upgrades Zenoscave ?
Zenoscave: The right velocity coefficient
AntiSquid: do they have recalc for the private ones?
Astrobytes: :grin:
Zenoscave: apparently it's -3 not -2
Astrobytes: nah AntiSquid
Wontonimo: I've been plugging away at a few different ideas, but I'm just going to stick with what I got
Astrobytes: It's a solid bot Wontonimo
Westicles: dapo on the board
BlaiseEbuth: My bot does not crash anymore. But it does not like copmetition, it flee out of the map...
Zenoscave: here we go!
AntiSquid: woah
Astrobytes: eyyy about time
Smelty: woo
AntiSquid: how did you guys even guess he'd submit?
Zenoscave: Because it's dapo
AntiSquid: is everyone stalking him ?
Astrobytes: Prizes, etc etc. It's a Dapo contest
Wontonimo: that bot goes for the insta-kills
Smelty: zenoscave i think we have similar ai..
Smelty: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/539724118
Astrobytes: He's motivated. Unlike standard CG contests.
Wontonimo: i was giving that strategy a lot of thought, but didn't go for it
AntiSquid: PS5 :thinking:
Smelty: hmmst
struct: I told you he needed a controller
Astrobytes: stop chatting and submit struct
Smelty: lolol
Smelty: yea you should struct
Zenoscave: struct lol
struct: my bot is bad
Smelty: still...don't get last...
AntiSquid: struct needs to beat the top D bot or switch to coding in D
Smelty: dang
Zenoscave: OR at least top ruby
struct: I can just use a wrapper
Smelty: hmm neumann dropped to 14th
Astrobytes: Daporan has a great bot, looks like pb4 is gonna be troublesome as Westicles mentioned earlier
Smelty: *nvm*
Astrobytes: Smelty: resubmitting
Smelty: yes
Zenoscave: nice win gloopy
Astrobytes: Oh interesting
Smelty: I think it would be interesting if they did teams instead of 2 of your own pod
Zenoscave: Try code-a-la-mode smelty
AntiSquid: think he means 2v2
Smelty: yea
Zenoscave: Ah gotcha
Wontonimo: fireworks then
Astrobytes: The CSB soccer one was like that no?
AntiSquid: you can create your own contribution Smelty and add communication between bots
Smelty: oOoo
Astrobytes: Ah no, I think it was 2 of your own vs 2 of the opponent
struct: https://www.codingame.com/replay/539725847
struct: A bit risky from him
Smelty: ah
Smelty: interesting
Zenoscave: That's hilarious struct.
Smelty: bumps go BRR
Zenoscave: Think I can get an angle calc done in time?
struct: which angle calc?
Zenoscave: Just realized I boost way off course sometimes
Zenoscave: Angle of movement delta to next target
Wontonimo: do you suppress boost when really close to a checkpoint ?
Zenoscave: Yeah
struct: omfg
struct: how am i going to track this bug
struct: with 13 minutes left
struct: lol
Zenoscave: boost >= 4000
Smelty: i did >5000
Astrobytes: yay for submit though struct
Smelty: woo
struct: in my loses
struct: my bot doesnt move at all
struct: wtf
Smelty: 43 tho..NICE
Zenoscave: whoops p1 v p2?
Zenoscave: input reading?
struct: it happened on 1vs1
Smelty: i just did a 1v1 with u it was fine
KiwiTae: saw it on 3players too
KiwiTae: doesnt happen in ide?
Smelty: i tested against him, it was fie
Smelty: *fine
KiwiTae: its nice u play with handicap ><
struct: it was random i dont know
struct: I think i fixed
Smelty: yay
struct: I was starting the timer before reading inputs
Smelty: maybe thats why
Smelty: ur red pod was acting kinda weird... https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/539728156
Smelty: it hesitated between 3 and 4
struct: still I think top 40 at best
struct: I failed eval
AntiSquid: this will help https://dlang.org/blog/category/tutorials/
Smelty: ;)
Smelty: o.O one of them has your name in it
Smelty: well....under 2 minutes...gg?
Astrobytes: It's gonna be an exciting finale
Illedan: gg
Zenoscave: gg :laughing:
BlaiseEbuth: Happy new year!
Astrobytes: was actually fun
Theino: Did I miss a contest?
struct: my place either gets first or last
struct: there is no inbetween
struct: my bot*+
Zenoscave: My submit was at last second
Astrobytes: Theino: semi-private
Zenoscave: sorry not sorry
struct: dapo resubmited too
Astrobytes: Ow, this should be interesting then
Zenoscave: dammit
Zenoscave: At least i got the angleright
Zenoscave: angle code*
Smelty: welp i got 59
Astrobytes: I only have one question Zeno: Ruby???!!!
struct: What algos did you use?
Zenoscave: acos
Zenoscave: Ruby is my favorite lang. 'cept py3 but everyone expects py3
Astrobytes: acos faster than atan2 in rb?
Zenoscave: no I just couldn't remember the +/- for diff of vectors with atan2
Astrobytes: Eh, well, can't argue with language choices.
Ah lol :D
struct: my submit doesnt seem that bad tbh
struct: thought it would be worse
Zenoscave: GG struct
struct: gg
struct: This is what I did to choose angles
struct: Might not be good but ill share it anyways
struct: array < vector<float>, 360> angles;
Zenoscave: The angle was a bad idea. I'm falling bad
struct: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/2e1b9e60-d8f6-4c66-a1d4-9729264a8568
Astrobytes: Yeah looks solid man, you're ahead of me ya git
struct: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/c3867f5c-552a-40f6-961e-82de5964a7e9
Zenoscave: Nice job struct!
Astrobytes: Oh that's your angle pruning?
struct: yeah something like that
Astrobytes: Nice, like it.
struct: Also I sometimes chose to only pass N
struct: It gets angle to current checkpoint and the next one
struct: +15, -15 from each one
Astrobytes: gotcha
Astrobytes: You did some thinking on this
struct: I had stuff to do yesterday
Zenoscave: I think I should have gone with 36deg not 18deg on the cutoff for boost
struct: but is w/e I would not fight for the top anyways
Zenoscave: my losses are generally from remaining boosts
struct: I still think I might have a bug
struct: my bot never placed 2nd
struct: in a 3 man battle
struct: either that or my bot is bad lol
therealbeef: interestingly, my bot got faster when i reintroduced constraints on the angle, not 18 like in CSB but about 26
Zenoscave: huh. Good to know realbeef
therealbeef: somehow it could maintain its speed better with more drifting
ZarthaxX: dapo appeared lol
AntiSquid: woah struct made it, congratz
Wontonimo: nice bot struct ! Glad to see you made the deadline. i'll be lurking to see our bots compete
ZarthaxX: struct :OOOO
ZarthaxX: niceeeee
Zenoscave: No more last second changes, I've learned my lesson
Zenoscave: Looks like that change cost 10-15 ranks
Astrobytes: Until the next last-second change/submit that is Zeno :D
Zenoscave: you read my mind ;)
Zenoscave: I should change my name to ockham
Zenoscave: With these split-second razor thin decisions
Wontonimo: i've worked on too many production systems and learnt that lesson the hard way. last minute is not a good idea unless you don't have any other alternative
struct: thanks guys
struct: I was afk for a bit
Wontonimo: hey struct, what search did you end up using?
Zenoscave: It depends on the stakes. I work for a fortune 500. I don't do these kinds of things at work. But here... meg
struct: I used smitsimax
Wontonimo: cool!
struct: I think I failed eval though
Astrobytes: Zenoscave: exactly the right attitude. Nothing to lose :D
Wontonimo: and how did you constrain the moves?
struct: Its mediocre at best
struct: One sec
Astrobytes: that's a hardcore top 3
Scarfield: yea big gap
Zenoscave: and it'll get a little bigger. dapo is only 30% complete
Astrobytes: and check the winrates between the 3
struct: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/fa946a5b-1bb0-485e-a19d-6a8b500ce31a
struct: Wontonimo
Astrobytes: pb4 had confidence in his last submit
Scarfield: oh yea its from yesterday
struct: I only did depth 5
struct: I had no time to try more stuff
Zenoscave: will you have time for spring struct?
struct: yes
Astrobytes: no still today Scarfield
ZarthaxX: beast structo
ZarthaxX: <3
Zenoscave: Looking forward to it :)
Zenoscave: Hi Zarthie
Astrobytes: as in Sunday
ZarthaxX: pewpew
ZarthaxX: hey zeno
Zenoscave: pewpew
struct: I learned this contest that pruning > performance
Zenoscave: Oh man, struct will be a top competitor now, I bet
struct: :p
Astrobytes: Pruning improves performance ;)
Zenoscave: if you weren't already
ZarthaxX: fooor sure
ZarthaxX: :D
Zenoscave: yup dropped 12 ranks with that angle crap
Scarfield: oh time zone xD
Astrobytes: :D
Astrobytes: eh struct, still beat you twice :D
struct: damn, good job
Astrobytes: 3 times!
Scarfield: xD
Zenoscave: Not bad for a 50 line ruby code
struct: neuman 1st
Astrobytes: Its not really helping me ofc but eh
Zenoscave: oh man! that's been a while since a neuman win yeah?
Zenoscave: AAAAND Pb4 first
Astrobytes: Switching between Neumann and pb4 struct, very close
darkhorse64: Zenoscave: -3v + boost ?
struct: he was never first, unless it was in a private contest
Zenoscave: -3 + boost and target switching
struct: hi darkhorse64, what search did you use?
Scarfield: should have called dips if pb 4 won
Zenoscave: dibs!!!!!
Zenoscave: I call it
Scarfield: xD
darkhorse64: I have found that 2.5 was better. My bot is an AG which ignores the other pods + boosts after reaching a checkpoint
Scarfield: poor him, potentially have to give away a ps5
Wontonimo: struct thanks! I like that search space ;)
Zenoscave: Yeah I played with 2.5 but I'd not change course soon enough with that. Target switching wasn't the best out there
Westicles: Why, does he work for Sofia or something?
Scarfield: AG? you mean GA darkhorse?
Astrobytes: algorithme génétique Scarflackingfrenchskills
darkhorse64: Yep, french acronym
Zenoscave: Even the American knew that ;) Sarf
Scarfield: oh, nice
Zenoscave: And we don't know much
Astrobytes: :rofl:
darkhorse64: Basically, it's SR code + boosts + tailored physics
Zenoscave: Yeah that was mine as well darkhorse64
darkhorse64: I failed to find a good eval
Astrobytes: You did good staying up there darkhorse64 good job mate
Zenoscave: no collisions?
Scarfield: well my knowleadge og french is basicly baguette
Astrobytes: I'm inspired to go back to SR, BR and CSB again
struct: Ill try to finish csb
Zenoscave: struct you haven't finished CSB?
struct: nope
struct: I finished sim
Astrobytes: Long story zeno :)
Zenoscave: You don't need sim
darkhorse64: It tried but it performed worse. Likely bad pod prediction
Scarfield: same tbh, found some really bad bugs in my csb that should help a lot if fixed. its amazing in even works
Astrobytes: Your bot has been pretty solid throughout Scarfield, good job man
Scarfield: ty :)
Astrobytes: I did not think I would enjoy doing this contest, I stand corrected
Zenoscave: It was fun indeed, needed the community for sure
Astrobytes: Definitely
Astrobytes: I hope the Sofia Amadeus guys had fun too
darkhorse64: It's fun to compete with others
Astrobytes: 5% kinda fun though :P
Zenoscave: 5%?
struct: My code for next contest starts now
struct: Ill write templates now
darkhorse64: All the hard work with CSB and SR has payed a lot
Astrobytes: Come on Zeno, I sent you the discord link with the conversation previously!
Zenoscave: struct we don't even know the gametype. di we?
Zenoscave: Astro i'm a slow reader ;)
struct: Im expecting a non physics game
Scarfield: i dont know what the 5% refers to either :'(
Zenoscave: Tile or board based?
Astrobytes: Quick maths, slow read :D
struct: yes
struct: Astro stop winning vs me
Zenoscave: You should destroy then struct with your crazy bfs stuff
struct: damn it
Scarfield: he is in a cave, not enough light to read
Zenoscave: hopefully on a 15x15 grid
Astrobytes: Scarfield: that was the percentage of users that enjoyed the competitive aspect of CG
Zenoscave: I can see the shadows though
Astrobytes: According to some CG poll
Scarfield: :O
Scarfield: thats incredible low
Astrobytes: Well, I guess a lot of competitive people put 'fun', because competition is fun. Loaded questions imo.
darkhorse64: top 3 fully random now
Astrobytes: Yeah, all really, really strong
Scarfield: without 0.09 points :o
Scarfield: within * xD
Wontonimo: this was fun ppl, it was mostly you and this chat channel that made it so interesting ! really looking forward tto the next one
Zenoscave: cheers to that :beer:
Astrobytes: Oh competition time is always lively Wontonimo
struct: dapo first
struct: o.o
Zenoscave: You should see the chat during a public competition
Astrobytes: Yeah :beers:
Wontonimo: later!
Scarfield: and well done on 11th Wontonimo!
struct: later
Zenoscave: gg ttfn
Astrobytes: later Wontonimo, gg man
Wontonimo: :beer:
Astrobytes: Illedan still creeping up on jft
struct: Did anyone else did what dapo is doing on 1vs1?
Astrobytes: What's he doing 1v1?
Astrobytes: Timing you out?
struct: https://www.codingame.com/replay/539740377
struct: every game is like this
Scarfield: i considered doing it, but then out of nowhere i didnt
Astrobytes: Yeah, makes sense. I came to the idea too late tbh.
Astrobytes: Although it was discussed
Scarfield: illes company Boitano AS makes me think of this https://youtu.be/sNJmfuEWR8w?t=22
Astrobytes: gogogo Illedan
struct: None of current top 3 works for Amadeus right?
Astrobytes: No, I think Jeff is the highest in Amadeus this time
Astrobytes: Scarfield :rofl:
Scarfield: dapo gaining a lead
Astrobytes: Hehe, it's cheesy, but it's highly effective. GG Daporan
therealbeef: tight race for 11-16th
Astrobytes: 9-16 looking at the lb
struct: Dapo seems to be a clear winner now
struct: imo
struct: unless all his remaining matches are 1vs1vs1
Scarfield: yea, the cheesemeister
Astrobytes: Possible, but he still gets rekt by Neumann sometimes
Astrobytes: even 1v1
struct: maybe I jinxed it
Astrobytes: Nah, was looking at last battles
Scarfield: you just need to jinx the top17 and im happy
Astrobytes: Shut up and accept your top 20 UngratefulField :P
Scarfield: xD
Astrobytes: I had a previous version that ruined you every time, it just only got to about 30th. Every time :P
Scarfield: yea i noticed :p
Astrobytes: hehehe
Astrobytes: stop beating me struct
Scarfield: never really fixed my bots overexcited behavior, seemed yours was a great counter for that
Westicles: I'd like to see dapo vs. dapo
struct: Dapo defeated france
Scarfield: it was also to happy to engage in a blocking combat even if it was a fair bit ahead
Astrobytes: In all honesty I didn't keep track of improvements and such as much as I usually would Scarfield, it was more just fk it this'll do and submit
Astrobytes: Yeah, was trying to eliminate that too Scarfield, Wontonimo managed to mitigate that behaviour somewhat
Scarfield: same didnt make any changes over the weekend, but did check the LB more often than i want to admit :p
Astrobytes: leojean890: we finish around the same rank I think :)
Astrobytes: (hope)
leojean890: Astrobytes yes^^
leojean890: Daporan, as usual, hides and wins in the end :P
leojean890: (winning is not 100% sure but..^^)
Astrobytes: Well, we all know it :)
Astrobytes: He has a good bot
leojean890: we had an exclusive french contest organized by sopra steria in january, he did the same xD
Astrobytes: Yeah I know :D
struct: holy losing sreak
struct: streak*
Astrobytes: If there are good prizes, Dapo will be there. CG contests have no real prizes of any value other than pride so ... :)
Scarfield: they always appear in the end of a submit dont they
Astrobytes: struct: regardless, that was not too shabby for a last minute submit
Scarfield: how did the word of slcc even get out, i just saw it in chat
struct: thanks
struct: you did well too
leojean890: submit 1 min before midnight, always ^^
leojean890: he should do RAIC..
struct: I only submited because it was when bot was mostly ready
leojean890: 3-3.5k euros for 1st
Astrobytes: Tough leaderboard
Scarfield: this was your first working submit wasnt it struct?
struct: I only submited 2 times
struct: one with no ai
struct: or I submited 3
leojean890: same, less than 10 submits^^
Astrobytes: leojean890: you get the email for the RAIC t-shirts etc yet?
struct: on last 10 minutes I submited the 2 times
Scarfield: yea you were a solid last place before xD
Scarfield: nice done man!
leojean890: No, didn't get the email for T shirts^^
struct: Thanks
leojean890: we all will get a t shirt becauseonly need to participate to R2^^
Astrobytes: cool, just checking. No one has yet afaik
leojean890: and pullover for people who went to R1
Astrobytes: Yeah but they send an email to claim usually I believe
leojean890: I see, didn't receive it:)
leojean890: pullover => to finals*
Astrobytes: Yep. That was an exhausting contest lol
leojean890: and much money for top 6 so.. Dapo should come
Astrobytes: Yeah, not sure why he doesn't do RAIC tbh
struct: maybe for the same reason re curse doesnt
struct: its a sh*tshow
leojean890: because too much work to get reward and not enough time ?^^
Scarfield: how a sh tshow?
Astrobytes: Who knows.
Last RAIC was decent struct. Weird af API but hey :D
struct: changes mid contests
Astrobytes: Wasn't anything awful this time around
struct: true
leojean890: API no user friendly at all
leojean890: but nice topic
struct: this week there is new escape I think
Astrobytes: I'm not sure what whoever did the C++ API was smoking but I definitely don't want any
Scarfield: last raic was that RTS looking space ship thing right?
Astrobytes: Yeah
leojean890: yes
leojean890: it was ok
Astrobytes: I think I only ever viewed the game in debug mode though D:
leojean890: but no passionate enough to work on it for 1 month long^^
struct: Wait there was no debug mode?
struct: lol
leojean890: yes alwars in debug.. clearer
Scarfield: looked pretty cool, but still havent gotten into trying raic
leojean890: always in debug
leojean890: because "normal" mode was not understandable
Astrobytes: That was the first one I went into, I signed up for others but gave up after trying to go through the rules/code
leojean890: debug mode was useful to understand the games
Astrobytes: Very, very useful
Astrobytes: And you could draw on the debug output too
leojean890: I didn't know RAIC previous years
leojean890: but was happy to participate this time
Astrobytes: Was good fun, and we had a lot of CG participants which helped a lot :)
leojean890: the user "tourist" does not go to RAIC as well but could I think^^
leojean890: he wins CG sometimes and google hashcode
leojean890: and other contests
Astrobytes: Not really his style I don't think
leojean890: he is more optim ?
Astrobytes: Kinda yeah
leojean890: he did CG when it was optim.. A*C
leojean890: and google hashcode is optim
leojean890: maybe he does not bots fights
Astrobytes: mathematically-based he will destroy all in his way
leojean890: project euler for example ?
Astrobytes: I mean more optim/contest style
leojean890: he was already in the winners before being 10 years old^^
leojean890: yes Isee
Astrobytes: Is he on PE? He would slay I'm sure
leojean890: i don't know, I'm not in PE:)
Astrobytes: Yeah, he was a real child prodigy
leojean890: I did some kinda-PE-style on CG puzzles :)
Scarfield: when i was 10 i think i was still playing viking, and fighting with sticks xD
leojean890: ^^
Astrobytes: I lack in some areas of mathematics so some of the more math-y puzzles on CG take me a little longer
leojean890: I was playing pokemon on my game boy color ;)
leojean890: yes same.. some of the more math-y puzzles on CG take me a little longer
leojean890: even among medium puzzles
leojean890: not only hard and VH
struct: I spent time on sports instead of math
leojean890: some medium are difficult because of maths aspects idk
Astrobytes: When I was 10 I was definitely playing around with programming, but also bmxing off walls and swinging from trees over rivers
leojean890: same sports and music^^
leojean890: you pushed me Astrobytes i'm #19 :P
Astrobytes: I was winning maths competitions at that time though, highschool put me off maths (bad teacher)
leojean890: maybe skyyker can push me down :P
Astrobytes: Ah nice leojean890 :D
leojean890: I see
Astrobytes: Though I still did top level biology, chemistry and physics :P
leojean890: I was not bad in math competitions in the early school (kangoo competition) ^^
Astrobytes: Anyway, I should eat
leojean890: was 100-200th among french people my age
leojean890: ow.. less sorry :P
Scarfield: yea bad teachers sucks, my physics teacher in "high school" seemed to hate me with a passion because i liked philosophy, all the girls got straight a's though. the girls even complained to the board because he was so biased xD
Astrobytes: I loved maths competitions
leojean890: 100-200 among not all France students:p
Astrobytes: Had a few of these types Scarfields
Astrobytes: *-s
Astrobytes: Right, going to eat and sleep
leojean890: some teachers are this way yes..
leojean890: just wait for next year xD
Astrobytes: If anyone sees Daporan please give him my congratulations
Scarfield: he is online, so he should have seen i suppose
leojean890: xD
Scarfield: but gn :)
leojean890: he's not on the web chat ;)
Astrobytes: ^
leojean890: maybe he reads but.. no writing ?:P
Scarfield: green dot on avatar in lb = online afaik
struct: He is not
leojean890: so.. 2 PS5 in 2 months
struct: mods can see everyone
Astrobytes: Yeah but that doesn't == webchat
Scarfield: no mere mortals are not in his interest
struct: grats on the 2nd controller
Astrobytes: gg Daporan
Scarfield: he won ps5 before?
Astrobytes: Anyway, gn all :)
Scarfield: gn :)
Wontonimo: gn Astrobytes
struct: gn
Wontonimo: and i just got back
struct: wb
struct: yes he won Scarfield
struct: in january I think
leojean890: he won PS5 for sopra steria contest in january
leojean890: contest only for french people
Scarfield: winning 2 ps5 in current conditions is just rude xD
Wontonimo: my #1 take away from this contest is to leverage ALL the win conditions. Timing out our opponent is a valid win that I didn't explore much
leojean890: yeah by hiding xD
leojean890: but he has a good level anyway ;)
leojean890: just does not let other good people bench against him
Scarfield: yea its a little too cheesy for my taste, but not against the rules so gg to him
leojean890: timing out the opponent.. didn't try that either^^
Scarfield: im off for tonight as well, gn :)
struct: gn
Wontonimo: I wasn't specifically referring to Dapo. Others had implemented that agro combat strategy also. It's more that : all win conditions of the game must be in the search. I missed the timeout rule
Wontonimo: gn
leojean890: gn
leojean890: yeah missed timeout as well
leojean890: cool in 1V1 games
KelvinAndHubbles: doing Smash the Code, haven't touched the start of the code, but it already says getting just the inputs takes longer then allowed for first turn, wacked
struct: which language?
struct: I played stc not so long ago and had no problems
KelvinAndHubbles: Python, yea it seems it gives up half way through reading the first inputs for the rows\
KelvinAndHubbles: might need just a refresh or restart or somethin
KelvinAndHubbles: yea, welp spent 90 minutes writing a floodfill and minimax program, and the input doesn't work :/
