BlaiseEbuth: What's that?
Astrobytes: nice, how often do you check it? 3 times a year? :P
Astrobytes: (on account of the slowwww games)
BlaiseEbuth: This site look so 2010.
Astrobytes: Kinda suits it since it's essentially 'play by mail' board games
Astrobytes: There are other bots on there too like derjaceks
BlaiseEbuth: Oh. You can play with a bot ?
VizGhar: That's one ugly page :D
Astrobytes: Yeah, I'm not sure if you can matchmake yourself or not
BlaiseEbuth: Natively or you need to violently plug the bot in ?
derjack: you sign to games, tournament etc and it will assign opponent for you
derjack: i use html parser for it
derjack: correspondence games only, 1 move per 24 hours
BlaiseEbuth: Hmm'k
dbdr: timeout 86400000 ms

struct: but the 2 isnt
struct: I could give you one of the validators if you want
Jumpmaster: Validator 7 has been posted on the forum, but if you could share validator 2 that would be helpful. Thanks
Jumpmaster: I got -1 for 7, but it took too long. need to optimize, and that is probably the same problem with 2.

Smelty: o.O
eulerscheZahl: "Round 1A results are finalized, and since you were not among the top 1500, you unfortunately haven't advanced to Round 2. "
oh no, how could that happen? :(
struct: Which contest?
eulerscheZahl: codejam
BlaiseEbuth: That's what happen when you skip rounds...
eulerscheZahl: no auto-promote?
eulerscheZahl: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
jacek: are you from bielefeld?
eulerscheZahl: you know the Bielefeld meme?
Astrobytes: we do now
jacek: meme?
eulerscheZahl: Bielefeld is the city that doesn't exist
eulerscheZahl: but officials want to make us think it does
Astrobytes: (he linked it earlier)
jacek: *gasp*
eulerscheZahl: oh
eulerscheZahl: out of interest: did he link this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvHcZciihJw
Astrobytes: nah just the wikipedia article
Astrobytes: Related:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/apr/11/making-sense-of-conspiracy-theorists-as-the-world-gets-more-bizarre
eulerscheZahl: that's a lot to read
struct: I just witnessed a miracle
Astrobytes: It's only a few paragraphs
struct: https://i.imgur.com/Ifu5FWB.png
struct: he stated it wouldnt match unless its a miracle
eulerscheZahl: i prefer contributions comments. like my latest one saying "??"
saying all that has to be said and amazingly fast to read
ZarthaxX: at least codejam told you that and you didnt even try ;)
ZarthaxX: *cries in silence*
struct: Did you also join codejam ZarthaxX?
eulerscheZahl: oh, that number was an exact match for me too
ZarthaxX: struct ye solved one that round
ZarthaxX: then became lazy and left the round lol
jrke: what is codejam btw i mean which type of contest?
ZarthaxX: competitve programming
ZarthaxX: the classic one, codeforces like
struct: algorithms
ZarthaxX: solve problems in X time
jrke: oh
ZarthaxX: these rounds are 2:30 hs and 3 problems
eulerscheZahl: we are just in for the 1000 tshirts they give away
struct: Im not good at those so I dont even bother joining
ZarthaxX: eulerscheZahl indeed
ZarthaxX: *i wanna beat gennady*
Astrobytes: lol
ZarthaxX: should be doable
Astrobytes: ezpz!
ZarthaxX: dude made in 4 hs a code for LoCM that i never surpassed i think in contest
Astrobytes: lol, he's very good at what he does
eulerscheZahl: https://imgur.com/a/0G9QGhQ
might be as close as i can get to beating him
Astrobytes: hey, not bad!
eulerscheZahl: i can see both of us without scrolling \o/
Astrobytes: :D
ZarthaxX: wowww toad :O
ZarthaxX: topcoder?
eulerscheZahl: yes
ZarthaxX: almost got him
ZarthaxX: GO FOR HIM
struct: Very nice
Mr.Pepper: when i close some personal chat but sometimes it is still there :rolling_eyes:
struct: close all cg tabs in your browser except one
struct: refresh the page
struct: close all pms
struct: and the ctrl + f5
Mr.Pepper: oh ok
Smelty: where can you join the codejam
Smelty: :p
Smelty: *:p
eulerscheZahl: you missed the qualification round, good luck next year
Smelty: rip
Astrobytes: Keep an eye on the CG discord, it's usually announced on there as a reminder (along with other external-to-CG contests)
Smelty: oki
struct: gather is so freaking slow
struct: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
ZarthaxX: gather?
jrke: i wanna play any contest
struct: _mm256_i32gather_ps
ZarthaxX: ah
jrke: is any contest live?
eulerscheZahl: https://clist.by/
eulerscheZahl: multiple
Smelty: hmm
Smelty: ooh...there's one ending in 40 minutes
eulerscheZahl: there are so many contests, you have to do some cherry picking to handle them
Smelty: dang
eulerscheZahl: the CG discord channel sometimes features contests that aren't even in that list but sound interesting
struct: 93 days contest :D
jrke: kaggle even had 5 year contest
jrke: https://www.kaggle.com/c/competitive-data-science-predict-future-sales
jrke: here is one ^
Smelty: woaH
Smelty: 3 years done, 2 years to go
jrke: yes
jrke: astrobytes you pushed me miles in CSB
jrke: from 33rd to 15th lol
Astrobytes: yeah, don't worry, you'll go back down
eulerscheZahl: how did you get that high?!
Astrobytes: I've been CSBing since last night
eulerscheZahl: i meant jrke
struct: What search do you use?
Astrobytes: I am curious though, you were 30-something? What algorithm are you using jrke?
jrke: i am not sure what was that cause wrote it months back
jrke: but as far as i know its simulation + ga + good eval
Astrobytes: Well, I'm fairly sure you'd remember
jrke: not 100% but yes it was that
eulerscheZahl: i still remember some details of my bot when others ask me about it years after. but i don't feel like typing that out and just link my forum post when possible :P
struct: I also know all my bots by hearth
Astrobytes: Why didn't you use that CSB framework for SLCC jrke? It only needed minimal modification
eulerscheZahl: by heart is a bit exaggerated for me. but the basic ideas at least
Smelty: hmm
Astrobytes: I'm fairly sure struct can recite his AVX ones by heart :P
Astrobytes: (line by line :D )
struct: Now im working on the new version
struct: Where its "8x faster", not "8x simultaneous games"
jrke: for slcc my reason for not using CSB framework was to just train myself to code faster and also for debugging experience cause when i joined only 3days was left
struct: It has way more benefits
jrke: but still i ended 26th not bad though
ZarthaxX: not really 8xfaster tho
struct: even if its 2x faster is wroth
struct: worth*
Astrobytes: Yeah I joined late too jrke, wish I joined earluer
ZarthaxX: yeeee
Astrobytes: *earlier
Astrobytes: struct yeah, any speedup is a good thing
Scarfield: eulier
struct: For example it will be easier to use it with smitsi
struct: The 8 pods at the same time is kinda bad for smitsi
Smelty: my angle calcs are off for some reason
Astrobytes: Seems it could possibly be worse if I think about it
struct: it should be worse
Astrobytes: Speed is what you need there
jrke: astrobytes whats your algo for CSB atm
Astrobytes: The same GA I've had for a few years lol
Puru299792458: in question "The labrinth" do we need to have the knowledge of A* ?
struct: you should try smitsi
Astrobytes: Every now and then I tweak parameters and fix bugs
Astrobytes: Yeah I intend to soon struct
jrke: i will CSB only when i learn ML->RL
Astrobytes: The Labyrinth is just a BFS is it not? I can't remember
Puru299792458: yup it is
Puru299792458: in external resources a* is mentioned
Puru299792458: so thought it will be reqd
Scarfield: no need for a* on that one, but can be used
Astrobytes: Yeah, I mean you could use it, I think its overkill
Astrobytes: If you just wanna practice A* then go right ahead
Westicles: Wow, Tbali is up to 491 puzzles solved. Got to be close to all of them
Astrobytes: impressive!
Astrobytes: Scarfield: I almost missed the opportunity - A*field
Westicles: No space maze, freecell, or nurikabe
Astrobytes: Ah, I'm sure he's able to do those
Puru299792458: thanks astrobytes and scarfield, i think it will be good to know A*, after solving with bfs will try with A*
Astrobytes: There are a few more puzzles you can try A* with, just have a search
Puru299792458: oh okay.
struct: Also make sure to prune some moves when you do smitsi
Scarfield: just did bender 2, recursion hurts my brain A*bytes
struct: its way more efficient that way
Astrobytes: Yes, makes sense struct
Astrobytes: yo-yoing from 14th-16th to 43rd-51st in CSB. Just not consistent enough.
Astrobytes: It'll probably finish 60th or something lol
struct: too little points between those ranks
Astrobytes: I know, I've been trying to break through the barrier but I think it's not going to happen with my GA
struct: ok using avx on mcts might be benefitial
struct: on the select phase
Astrobytes: I thought you tried it before and it wasn't?
struct: Never managed to do it
struct: But now I have avx function to return the highest value
Astrobytes: Oh this was the rather cryptic conversation yesterday
ZarthaxX: haha cryptic
struct: I found this after the conversation https://github.com/VcDevel/Vc/blob/953035b43f76405bb0a54574cd0fb0058570a0c1/Vc/avx/vectorhelper.h#L225
Astrobytes: come on, those instructions are ridiculous to read :D
struct: I never saw c++ code like that tbh
ZarthaxX: i told him an option but he prefers weird ass sutff :rofl:
Astrobytes: It's a completely different world
Astrobytes: lol ZarthaxX
Astrobytes: No pain, no gain eh!
struct: Avx is fun
struct: but is also painful
Scarfield: im gonna start putting the same disclaimer in the top of my code
ZarthaxX: why painful
ZarthaxX: it's just fun
struct: painful at the start ZarthaxX
Astrobytes: In the same vein:
Cats are small.
But not as small as spiders.
struct: Is too much stuff at once
struct: You need to wire your brain so you can understand it
Astrobytes: And go slowly into the void
ZarthaxX: well yes
ZarthaxX: i had a subject in uni about SIMD anyway
ZarthaxX: intel asm and simd
ZarthaxX: so i guess it's way easier haha
Astrobytes: oooOOOooo
Astrobytes: :D
struct: My first class was about simd
Westicles: Looks like if I did all puzzles I'd be up to 502. I guess the number depends on how many deleted ones you've done
ZarthaxX: looks struct, i dont intend that you understand anything
ZarthaxX: but this asm has that thing i shared the other day
ZarthaxX: https://github.com/kugelblitz1235/TPOrga_Final/blob/master/src/Smith_Waterman/SW_AVX.asm
ZarthaxX: you had simd too struct what lol
struct: I did not see that
struct: No I did not have simd
struct: I was joking
ZarthaxX: ah LOL
struct: Very nice ZarthaxX
Astrobytes: Traduzca eso
ZarthaxX: ty
ZarthaxX: no :rofl:
Mr.Pepper: :rofl:
ZarthaxX: and AVX512 is dope
ZarthaxX: but i wont show that one
ZarthaxX: not useful for now anyway
struct: I dont have a cpu that supports it
Astrobytes: at least I can follow the asm a bit
ZarthaxX: hard to have one
Westicles: I've got one, but not sure how much of the instruction set it has compared to what struct is using
struct: My cpu is pretty old
ZarthaxX: avx512 has these kind of things struct https://github.com/kugelblitz1235/TPOrga_Final/blob/master/src/Smith_Waterman/SW_AVX512.asm#L303
ZarthaxX: Astrobytes look ath that syntax
ZarthaxX: Westicles AVX512 support??
ZarthaxX: or AVX
struct: he has 512 support
struct: he has a good cpu
ZarthaxX: damn
struct: xtreme
ZarthaxX: holy f
ZarthaxX: i had to use an emulator for these things
Westicles: 10980xe
ZarthaxX: also for avx
ZarthaxX: xeon?
struct: xe stands for
struct: extreme edition
ZarthaxX: found that
Astrobytes: ZarthaxX Nice! :D
eulerscheZahl: my CPU is old :(
eulerscheZahl: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/82788bf8-55f3-4043-905a-108aac0c9b46
ZarthaxX: this one too Astrobytes https://github.com/kugelblitz1235/TPOrga_Final/blob/master/src/Smith_Waterman/SW_AVX512.asm#L266
ZarthaxX: the synax introduces some {} thingies to make the instr behave differently
ZarthaxX: it's crazy
ZarthaxX: eulerscheZahl old like mine it seems
ZarthaxX: no avx support isee
struct: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/23fbc42a-40db-4210-9d09-355741321801
Astrobytes: Totally indecipherable with those for me yeah :D
ZarthaxX: it's amazing but painful as struct said lol
ZarthaxX: once you get how evertyhing works it's crazy
Astrobytes: The braces tho
ZarthaxX: oh toad has avx too
ZarthaxX: im the only one without avx :D
ZarthaxX: braces are amazing haha
Astrobytes: I am getting into avx stuff, just slowly
ZarthaxX: and have an avx cpu?
Astrobytes: yes lol
Astrobytes: not 512
ZarthaxX: i know
ZarthaxX: just checking im the poor one ah
struct: By the time I finish CSB cg will have 512
Astrobytes: :rofl:
ZarthaxX: LOL
eulerscheZahl: i don't even know if they are in Azure or AWS
eulerscheZahl: there are contradicting statements
eulerscheZahl: i only know that they use AWS to send emails
Astrobytes: OVHcloud too, for what exactly I'm unsure
Westicles: CG doesn't use their own HW? Then why does it grind to a halt every night?
Qyxi: Morning.
struct: They changed db or something
struct: and since that change it gets laggy every day
struct: at the same time
eulerscheZahl: i thought they just recompute the global leaderboard
struct: Yeah, but it didnt use to lag before
ZarthaxX: same
eulerscheZahl: and somehow have a too high priority for this task so the rest just ends in a queue and has to wait
eulerscheZahl: hm, no idea. I sleep at that time
jacek: those clashes need to be computed after all
eulerscheZahl: join my sleep cycle struct, then CG is fast for you too
Astrobytes: Old Man Euler is recruiting others :o
struct: I rarely use IDE so it doesnt bother much
Westicles: I'm on the 25 hour schedule, so I cycle around
Westicles: Mars days
eulerscheZahl: https://xkcd.com/320/
Astrobytes: :rofl:
eulerscheZahl: i totally forgot the "your mom" part of the story line
Astrobytes: It works well in the context
Qyxi: A char is 8 bits, but isn't overly easy to work with numerically. Is there an easy way to create a 8 bit type that can store be made for storing numbers 0-255 unsigned or -128 to 127 signed?
Qyxi: and/or between store and be made*
Westicles: The real-world mom part is she has no idea when to call, you might be asleep any time of the day
jacek: Qyxi but it is easy. int8_t is char basically. it is different only for printing
Qyxi: I see. Forgive my ignorance. I failed college c++ in 1998 when I was in college. Failed to see how that was important for engineering/business at the time.
Astrobytes: and uint8_t for unsigned
Scarfield: to print the value on int8_t you could simply do cerr << 0+var
Qyxi: When you say, "is char basically" you mean that it's an 8 bit int with mathematical operators rather than requiring single character inputs yes?
struct: https://i.imgur.com/f74LrSh.png
struct: its the same
Qyxi: This is embarrassing, I should have known that. I've seen typedef in windows code using that format on vars many times. Thank you for being kind with a constructive answer.
Marchete: unsigned long long shot a bit larger than x;
Marchete: glad they added formal typedefs
Qyxi: Oh, looking at the link. the int8_t is still a char.
Astrobytes: they're both integer types
Astrobytes: char and int8_t
struct: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1725855/uint8-t-vs-unsigned-char
Qyxi: But, char x = 50; throws a compiler error.
Marchete: unless you are going to do code to different systems, or going to do low level programming
Marchete: (i.e. OS kernels, drivers, etc)
Marchete: don't spend time on that
Astrobytes: Something else must have caused your compiler error.
char x = 50 most definitely compiles.
Qyxi: Well, I'm thinking about memory constraints. And I have no idea how to do bit manipulation.. it eludes me. Using variables of > 8 bits is a waste of memory when I know that the min/max values will fit within the constraints of 8 bits.
struct: Barely recognized marchet with that avatar
Astrobytes: lol
Qyxi: I'd considering a native array type if I could wrap my thoughts around bit wrangling.
Astrobytes: you can use std::bitset if you want to mess around with bits and aren't too comfortable
Marchete: indeed
jacek: also try :notebook: :soccer:
Astrobytes: Other than that: why are you concerned about memory usage righ now?
Astrobytes: *right
LelouchVC2: Unless you're coding something that needs a lot of ram, optimizing ram is like saving a drop of the ocean
LelouchVC2: optimizing ram usage*
Qyxi: Well, I'll give you an example of where it needs thinking like this. 7 days to die USED to run on my 12 gb ram laptop when it was alpha 16. Ran like a dream. Now, since programmers maintain the notion that memory is cheap.. it runs my laptop hot at a whopping 8 frames per second.
Astrobytes: Well yes, but I mean in your specific use case
jacek: you paid for 12gb ram, then use 12gb ram. no money wasted [solved]
Marchete: add more ram, problem solved
Astrobytes: *download more ram ofc
Scarfield: xD
Marchete: jacek, I'm askew as well
jacek: but not round
Qyxi: And, that's something I'd prefer to avoid. Currently, running NEAT using floats everywhere where many can be 8 bits, I can greatly increase active entities with limbs and brains.
jacek: oO
Astrobytes: hm, case for vectorization?
Marchete: is there any benefit on reusing MCTS for the next turn on CG?
Marchete: given the constraints
Astrobytes: reusing the tree from the best node?
Astrobytes: Sure
Marchete: I mean
Marchete: what % do you gain?
Qyxi: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/b00af1f3-b803-42b9-9352-1f4b1d20b1d1
Marchete: if you have 10 moves, the enemy 10 moves
Marchete: so you reuse only 1/100 of all the previous search
Marchete: no?
Qyxi: Why'd that make a link?
Astrobytes: Think it's game dependant gain-wise Marchete, jacek probably has a statistic for it
Marchete: you need a premium account
Scarfield: message length > some limit
Astrobytes: lel
Qyxi: Oh. Good to know.
struct: marchet it wont really be 1/100
struct: because you will choose probably the most expanded node
struct: so will opponent
Scarfield: its would be more than 1/100 since the MCTS should have guided you towards the more visited nodes
Astrobytes: ^
Marchete: ok, then I'll continue tweaking my code to reuse it
struct: do you use mcts solver marchet?
Marchete: no
jacek: its better for low branching games of course
jacek: must have for oware
jacek: or bandas
Marchete: but I'm trying to implement jacekmax on oware
Marchete: that doesn't have that
Marchete: or at least not on your playground
jacek: jacekmax has implied solver o.O
Marchete: implied
Marchete: I'm doing jacekmax but I'm trying to tweak my precache nodes to allow tree reuse
jacek: part of eval is if win = +inf, if lose = -inf
Marchete: it comes mainly from smitsimax, that can't reuse much of the tree
jacek: and negamax backpropagation would know that
Marchete: if that's the MCTS solver, then yes
Westicles: Huh. All that *max talk is real? I thought you guys were joking
Astrobytes: cegimax is the fake one
Scarfield: https://www.codingame.com/playgrounds/55004/best-first-minimax-search-with-uct
Marchete: smitsimax and jacekmax are real :D
Marchete: negamax I'm not that sure

struct: ZarthaxX here?
struct: I need his expertise
BlaiseEbuth: ZarthaMax
Astrobytes: I have returned.
struct: The bigger a mcts tree is the slower it is right?
TheBigE: bruh moment
Scarfield: i guess you introduce bigger possibilty of cache misses with greater size, but idk
Astrobytes: It'll be bigger in memory for sure but you should be cutting off huge parts of it anyway
struct: well the tree fit entirely in cache before
struct: its a small test
TheBigE: what if you put the tree in a box to mail to the cache
Astrobytes: :expressionless:
TheBigE: :upside_down:
ChunkyStyleMilk: monke
jacek: bigger tree, shorter games
Astrobytes: I could understand putting cash in a box and mailing it to your nearest branch.
TheBigE: what if you put the box in another box so you can fit it in the mail box for the tree
ChunkyStyleMilk: monke
Astrobytes: Quit your crap memes ChunkyStyleMilk
Astrobytes: You go figure that out TheBigE

jacek: InsaneSoldier
Astrobytes: CrazyWarrior
Astrobytes: hi Codermritunjay
Codermritunjay: where are you from
Astrobytes: Hover your mouse over our profile pictures
jacek: is scotland still part of great britain?
Astrobytes: For the moment.
Astrobytes: Not for long I suspect/hope.
jacek: oO
Astrobytes: Well, UK
Astrobytes: Also hoping for Irish reunification and the Welsh to stick up for themselves too.
TheBigE: wa'er
Astrobytes: Do something useful TheBigE
TheBigE: like what
Astrobytes: Bot programming, puzzle solving, optimisation... you know, all the things on the website
TheBigE: ok fiiine
TheBigE: i just got bored
jacek: have you missed anything, Astrobytes
Astrobytes: Ah, Code golf, thanks jacek
jacek: and the other C
Scarfield: xD
Astrobytes: :smirk_cat:
TheBigE: i am actucly pretty good at golf IRL
Marchete: no that's forbidden
Astrobytes: I do not advocate the Big C
ChunkyStyleMilk: TheBigE*
Astrobytes: I can live with big o, big omega and big theta but I will never advocate the Big C on CG
ChunkyStyleMilk: What about big alpha??
Astrobytes: ...
ThornFlynt: is there anyway to sort python courses by difficulty or just keep doing recommended?
ChunkyStyleMilk: or big delta
TheBigE: how about the big D
Astrobytes: AntiSquid will help you with the D
Astrobytes: Perhaps he can ease you into using the D
ChunkyStyleMilk: what the crap is antisquid
Astrobytes: Keeper of the D
Astrobytes: If you wanna talk crap you'll get crap back.
Astrobytes: ThornFlynt: you mean puzzles?
TheBigE: well good thing i don't crap
Astrobytes: ThornFlynt: was that your post on discord? What difficulty level would you like?
ThornFlynt: Thank you!
Astrobytes: no worries :)
ThornFlynt: I just found the FAQ in the forums and was reading through that x'D
ThornFlynt: But basically I'm looking to up my scripting game... I've done simple bash, batch, powershell... but discovered codingame and needed a good path to learning Python through more hands-on application than some incredibly boring lecture
stnwtr: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/1692036f4f74110df301d4a4c330d799aaa476e
Astrobytes: The Activities->Practice menu link will take your to the puzzles page
TheBigE: i just found the cutest thing ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5a0jTc9S10&list=PLtcJBMFwxBStidirECURLKs9AtPE57D&index=5
Astrobytes: *you
ChunkyStyleMilk: oh snap
ChunkyStyleMilk: cute dog
Astrobytes: stnwtr: use #clash channel to post clash links please!
stnwtr: sorry
Astrobytes: no worries
stnwtr: :)
Astrobytes: You can still ask in here, just mention that the link is in #clash channel
Astrobytes: ThornFlynt: yeah CG is good for practicing new languages on for sure
Marchete: good practices, you should see my bot code
Marchete: so clean and beautiful
Astrobytes: Good for practicing, not good practices! Stroustrup would have heart failure if he saw my C++ on here
benismad: xd
karimk123: wassup
jacek: AntiSquid congratz on chess advance, you -2.29
karimk123: im spooderman
TheCoding: sup g
Astrobytes: Ah you know, hanging with the homies, sipping on lean, munching bars and programming ill bots. The usual.
TheCoding: fr
TheCoding: the usual
karimk123: fr
Astrobytes: #fr
karimk123: sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
Smelty: #fr
didoddos: k
Westicles: purple drank?
Astrobytes: ma sizzurp, ma lean ma draaank
Astrobytes: (I am of course kidding)
karimk123: red sus
Astrobytes: The only truthful statement was "programming ill bots". They certainly act unwell anyway.
Westicles: A little cough syrup might be good for that cold though
areze: hi
test9999999: test
Astrobytes: Stopped taking cough syrup years ago, pretty useless unless you have a chesty cough, usually indicative of a chest infection, therefore not really cough-medicine territory. For tickly dry coughs, honey & lemon is fine
Therabidpanther: cough syrup is literally heavenly
TheCoding: boring
TheCoding: anyone got a code for loop
Therabidpanther: oh wait, we talking about purple drank rn lol
TheCoding: lol
TheCoding: he the best tbh
LelouchVC2: I literally have cough syrup just for when im trying to sleep
TheCoding: that sucks
LelouchVC2: I've had the same bottle for over a year now
TheCoding: sheeeeesh
TheCoding: \
Therabidpanther: i just use a weighted blanked for sleep lol
Astrobytes: Cough syrup abuse is not common in the UK
TheCoding: ye same
TheCoding: makes sence
LelouchVC2: nice
Therabidpanther: i mean, idk how common it even is around here lol
TheCoding: were u from
Therabidpanther: or wait, is sleep aid considered abuse?
Therabidpanther: lol
TheCoding: lol
LelouchVC2: I doubt teenagers are abusing cough syrup when drugs are literally around every corner
TheCoding: i dont think so
TheCoding: fr
Astrobytes: Easier in the US because the allowed excipients (and quantities thereof) are quite different for OTC meds
TheCoding: i mean u could get drugs off a homeless man now a days
Astrobytes: OTC cough meds
TheCoding: im pretty sure in la weed is alowd
TheCoding: allowed
Therabidpanther: weed is allowed in quite a few places now
Astrobytes: Smoking weed is not quite the same as synthetic opiods and DXM
TheCoding: i forgot why there making it allowed
TheCoding: ye not the same but eh its somthing tbh
Astrobytes: I am not advocating either
TheCoding: so what yall doing right now
Therabidpanther: thinking about what to do
Astrobytes: Failing with my bots.
TheCoding: ye that sucks
TheCoding: what wrong with the bots
Astrobytes: Have you tried the Bot Programming section yet TheCoding?
TheCoding: ye
Astrobytes: And?
TheCoding: failed
Astrobytes: At?
TheCoding: the coding
Astrobytes: ...
Therabidpanther: the easiest part
Busting: yep
Busting: i dont know how but i did
Astrobytes: Therabidpanther: What kind of games do you prefer?
Astrobytes: In terms of bot programming
Busting: bytes when did u join this
Astrobytes: uh 2015 I think, but wasn't really 'active' until 2018 iirc
Therabidpanther: I have only really done that first pod racer one
Busting: have u gotten good at this thx to the progaming
Astrobytes: Therabidpanther: Did you like it? There are a few more physics-based games besides that one. If you prefer other stuff there are grid-based (either maze or board games) and other types of board game variants
Busting: ooh i like mazes
Therabidpanther: it was pretty cool
Astrobytes: Also, don't forget to try to reach Legend league in it
Therabidpanther: that sounds tough lol
Astrobytes: You can get to gold with simple heuristics
Astrobytes: And even legend with a little more maths
Astrobytes: Or you can write a search algorithm
Busting: thats cool
Busting: Astrobytes has this game help u on ut coding
Busting: ur*
RyanGilbert: been awhile since ive done a clash
Astrobytes: TheCoding: Most stuff I do on here helps me with my coding/understanding of certain algorithms
Busting: clash are hard when ur facing good players
Busting: Astrobytes thats nice
Astrobytes: The rest of the site > clash. Clash is for when you want a short challenge when you're on a brek or something.
Astrobytes: (imo)
Busting: oh makes sence
Astrobytes: *break
Westicles: The only fun thing about clash is making contributions
Astrobytes: lol, I wouldn't dare. Haven't done enough to be able to approve one :D
Busting: how could u lvl up
Astrobytes: I do look at them however, just to punish myself a little when I feel CG is doing well
Westicles: It is fun trying to make one where generating validators needs complicated code
Westicles: But the clash itself is easy
Astrobytes: That I can understand, yeah
Busting: easy for u guys u guys alr have the most experience
Astrobytes: The most experience out of which particular pool of users? I'm not even a dev.
Busting: u dont gotta be a dev to know much about coding tbh
Westicles: Huh. Apparently I submitted default code to Crystal Rush a month ago, and just now it made it to bronze
Astrobytes: Was that from the starter Westicles?
Busting: is that a good thing
Busting: or a bad thing
Westicles: Yeah, whatever the default is. Looks like a loop of five WAITs
Busting: .
Astrobytes: heh, not surprising.
Busting: fr
Astrobytes: #fr
Busting: #sheesh
Busting: so this basically like discord
Astrobytes: no it's completely different. It's an XMPP chat
Astrobytes: It's not connected to the CG discord
Busting: pftttt ye i knew thst
Busting: that*
Astrobytes: Then you would not have asked if it was basically like discord
Busting: i just wanted to see if ur answer
Astrobytes: If my answer what?
Busting: i just wanted to see ur answer
Astrobytes: Why
Busting: curiosity
Astrobytes: It killed the cat you know
Busting: what cat
Astrobytes: Curiosity killed the cat.
Busting: sad\
Busting: #sadboihours
Astrobytes: If you are unfamiliar with the expression I suggest you look it up.
Busting: ohhhh
Busting: ye makes sence
BlaiseEbuth: Don't feed Astroll
Busting: y
Busting: man schools boring asf
Astrobytes: Don't listen to Beelzébuth there, he's trying to trick you.
Busting: i trust him more now
Astrobytes: Hey, it's your soul, idc
Busting: well i do
Busting: he seems like a nice guy to start off
Astrobytes: Do you think he likes you?
Busting: idk does he
Astrobytes: What do YOU think
Busting: IDK he prolly does
BlaiseEbuth: 'f course I do
Astrobytes: Hm. Vanity, definitely my favourite sin
Busting: U SEE
BlaiseEbuth: :smiling_imp:
Busting: ebuth we bff
Astrobytes: blaise, how about some of that left-hand magick for my little csb bot here
Busting: no
Busting: say no
Mr.Pepper: one validator failed for puzzle the Fastest ( Medium)
BlaiseEbuth: Well, guess we can find an agreement...
Busting: how do u guys get mod
Astrobytes: Selling our souls to Blaise usually
Busting: good enough
Mr.Pepper: :rofl:
Busting: lol
BlaiseEbuth: Who needs a soul these days anyway...
Busting: honesty i would do it tbh
Astrobytes: Just to be a mod?
Busting: ebuth u seem like the guy who wants sum souls
Busting: ye mod seems fun
Busting: could i gte admin
Astrobytes: He can definitely add all the souls he has, yes
Busting: he prolly has 40 ]
Astrobytes: No. And mod isn't fun.
Busting: well ur mod y isnt mod fun what is it that u hate
Astrobytes: Unless you're Blaise, who claims every kicked soul
Westicles: Oh no, they got Louis.!
Busting: oh dam
Westicles: He lasted like 3 weeks this time, wonder what happened
Busting: sheesh
Busting: i gtg alr
Astrobytes: You, Mr Westicles, are THE most massive troll on here, and yet I struggle to hate
Astrobytes: :grin:
BlaiseEbuth: Louis. was robin ? Seemed different :thinking:
Westicles: Thanks :) I'm pretty benign this last year or so
Astrobytes: Honestly, it's impressive
BlaiseEbuth: What?
Astrobytes: The Truth costs 3.5 souls Blaise
BlaiseEbuth: Meh.
BlaiseEbuth: You're far above the price... Lie is a much better investment.
Astrobytes: Eh, fair enough.
Astrobytes: When I look at my code for Tulips v Daisies I see my eval and always think to myself "You've got The Flower! Evaluate!"
Project-Magenta: totoro
Astrobytes: If you don't get that btw you need to re-educate yaself on 90s eurodance classics
LelouchVC2: I think I'll die looking that up
BlaiseEbuth: Meh 90s are so 20th century...
Astrobytes: Nah. Snap - Exterminate and You've got the Power
Astrobytes: (I've got the Power? maybe)
BlaiseEbuth: There's no user named anasplit on the site... :(
Astrobytes: Hm, 49/940 on CSB
Astrobytes: that's almost a nicely palindromic 049/940
BlaiseEbuth: 0,0516332982086406743940990516333
BlaiseEbuth: :thinking:
Astrobytes: So literal
Astrobytes: 049 940
Astrobytes: Anyway, I hate this fking game
BlaiseEbuth: Stop playing it
Smelty: o.O
BlaiseEbuth: #bettetCallBlaise
Astrobytes: Never. I'm an astro and astro's don't run.
Astrobytes: Or possibly #betterCallBlaise
BlaiseEbuth: [CG]Typo
Astrobytes: :grin:
Astrobytes: Anyway, I'm out, cya tomorrow :D
Smelty: #betterCallBlaise
Smelty: like it
BlaiseEbuth: There's no user named asplit either...
BlaiseEbuth: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Astrobytes: :expressionless:
BlaiseEbuth: Oh.
BlaiseEbuth: There's a nasplit :imp:
