Wontonimo: what up Smelty? did you finish all the tacos in the cooler yet?
OBenjOne: In silver league, I found the shield wasn't actually super useful, It helps, but it's really helpful in gold and legend once you get two bots. I actually passed silver without having a shield code
OBenjOne: Of course I might have been using it wrong
Wontonimo: i think that's legit

dbdr: does the site work for you?
dbdr: loaded pages do for me, but if I open any new one, e.g. https://www.codingame.com/ I get a blank page
[CG]Thibaud: yes
derjack: i got that too. blank page
derjack: but i refreshed
derjack: and works
dbdr: I tried refreshing before and it did not work, but now it did :)
jrke: happens with me sometimes blank page so i then directly open loaded pages do for me, but if I open any new one, e.g. https://www.codingame.com/home
LelouchVC2: use Ctrl+F5 so that you're sure you're not getting a cached page
DarkLord__28: hyyyy

derjack: oh berserk author died
LelouchVC2: did he?
derjack: yes
JanPolivka: Do I need a 100% result to get the solutions?
Uljahn: yes
JanPolivka: So what do you do, when you get stuck? Doesn't that limit learning?
VizGhar: it definitely doesnt encourage it :)
Uljahn: i read discussion threads on the forum
VizGhar: ^^ best place to find some ideas
Uljahn: they are spoiler-free most of the time, so you won't get full answer
JanPolivka: this is very frustrating
Uljahn: that's how creativity and coding skills are developed i guess
Uljahn: googling for the answer teaches you nothing
derjack: /me
JanPolivka: Well, not really. The way you "get creative" is by simply increasing your knowledge in your long-term memory.
JanPolivka: So if you have no similar pattern in your long-term memory, you can't apply it until you see it at least once. You might get lucky too
derjack: sounds like overfitted NN
Uljahn: i agree, you'd better know most basic algorithms, there are puzzle tags and external links for that
JanPolivka: yea, sounds like extra steps for no reason
darkhorse64: If you are new here, my best advice is to start with the easy official CG puzzles. The next step is to learn about floodfill algorithm because it is ubiquitous
JanPolivka: I do feel like easy ones are too easy because they only test syntax.
darkhorse64: Go next level then
Pick8chu: PIKA

JanPolivka: That's what I am doing???
AntiSquid: play multis
AntiSquid: there's medium, hard, very hard puzzles, which ones are you doing ?
LelouchVC2: The squid returns
JanPolivka: Shadows of the Knight. I eventually figured it out but the struggle seems unnecessary
LelouchVC2: Look for puzzles that actually seem interesting, or it'll feel like a waste
JanPolivka: Because I need to use this site for an take-home exam, I don't have the luxury of doing only the things I find interesting.
JanPolivka: That's what I am complaining so much, probably. I'd rather do the exam on a different site
LelouchVC2: university exam?
JanPolivka: job interview
LelouchVC2: oh cool
derjack: i wonder if i ever used those fancy algorithms at work :thinking:
KiwiTae: fancy algo?
derjack: binary search, BFS/DFS, other graph things
VizGhar: Android -> findViewById :P ~BFS
Nerchio: those are more like basic instead of fancy but sure :D
derjack: but are they explicitly used at work? yet they are asked in job interview
Nerchio: i mean depends where you wanna work
derjack: chocolate factory
AntiSquid: as a fudge packer?

Voudrais: Can I somehow report a player who pasted code from internet and won clash of code?
Uljahn: is it against the rules?
VizGhar: You can copy-paste solutions :) You still have to adjust them
VizGhar: I was googlin non-stop
Uljahn: ^
Uljahn: same
derjack: oh my
Uljahn: although when you know the solution it's faster to code it by hand than to find it in google and c&p
VizGhar: competition in CoC isn't that scary :) you can easily beat 90%+ coders there by googling stuff (It's hard around 150th place and further)
VizGhar: and it's probably hard for me just because I'm forced to use Ruby there (I don't know ruby, but its sufficient for CoC)
Wontonimo: i've never googled an answer in CoC. Can you just paste in the name of the clash or something simple like that?
DogukanSENER: can someone help me about Platinium rift episode -1 pyhton

elderlybeginner: what kind of help you are expecting?
slas: Create a power function that: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/843b6cee-1d92-4ae4-84de-645c80bc37d3
slas: please help me
slas: function puissance(nombre,puissance) { if (puissance == 0) return 1; let result=1 for (let i = 1; i <= n; i++) { result = result * number } return result; }
DogukanSENER: I acutallu made something but In somecase it doesn't work well
Wontonimo: why not use power function?
slas: im french
slas: i just translate
elderlybeginner: DogukanSENER depends what you are expecting. I'm in middle gold with 80 lines of code. Nothing fancy, just 1 evaluation function
Wontonimo: hey slas, let's say you want to raise 1.0002 to the power of 1200,000
DogukanSENER: chkec private
Wontonimo: you could do it your way but it would be 1.2 million iterations.
Wontonimo: what if instead you calculated it for 1.0002 ^ 1000 , stored that , then raised that to the power of 1200? Same result and only 1000+1200 iterations
Wontonimo: that isn't the solution, but hopefully it nudges you in the right path
Wontonimo: let me know if that helps slas
KalamariKing: wontonimo that's freaking genius

Snoepie: Can you guys recommend any sources to learn python?
Wontonimo: what's your current level?
Snoepie: -0
Snoepie: level 3
Wontonimo: negative zero. I mean as a programmer, do you know about "if" statements, or recursion ?
bigbossboy: yes
Snoepie: roughly, I've only recently started learning python
Wontonimo: right from the python website https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Programmers
Wontonimo: start at the top and work your way down
Snoepie: okidoki
bigbossboy: thank
Snoepie: oh wow that's a lot, thanks man
Wontonimo: if you like paying money to other people to research things for you and present it in boring video format, try udemy
Wontonimo: if you don't like paying money but like videos, try youtube
Wontonimo: hey, Snoepie, once you've got some basics like "if/else", "loops", and "variables" try the mars lander 1 challenge https://www.codingame.com/training/easy/mars-lander-episode-1
elderlybeginner: any simple rules to get gold in UTTT without serious stuff?
JeefKek: Does anyone know how to solve the Coders Strike Back challenge?
derjack: is search serious?
AntiSquid: UTTT is pretty much an anti-heuristic multi
derjack: JeefKek solve?
JeefKek: yeah
elderlybeginner: currently I start in the middle, close xxx or defend o-o, never put x in midle of the rest of the grids. That's makes me top silver
elderlybeginner: I was going to try MCTS when in gold
derjack: JeefKek you can't 'solve' it, its multiplayer game. unless you mean to fix the X Y cordinations in tutorial
Whatar: which rank are you JeefKek?
JeefKek: yes
derjack: elderlybeginner try teccles iheuristic send opponent to the same board if possible
elderlybeginner: derjack, oh, that's already implemented
derjack: oof
AntiSquid: google some guides for ultimate tic tac toe, there's a tutorial how to always win as X for a different version out there
derjack: that version is very different
elderlybeginner: yes, this one closes the table when xxx, the rest leave the gird open even when it's already lost/won
JeefKek: do you know how to fix the x and y issue?
AntiSquid: "very" is excessive
Whatar: If I remember correcty they are both X in the example given, and you just need to swap the second X for a Y
elderlybeginner: no simple strategy that I could be able to find beyond what's already written. There was some gambit letting middle to be lost and pushing opponent back to the middle, but's that different version
derjack: have you tried avoiding moves that would lead to finished board?
elderlybeginner: hmm, no, and that's simple to implement, don't think that it would be enough to jump from 25.5 to bosses 27.5
Thanks for the idea
IamQuan: :3
DustspeckD: Has it ever happended to you where the race doesnt load, but just skips to the podium?
jacek: hm?
reCurse: Yes, refresh usually does the trick
jacek: is there some any IDE tricks or script that would automatically change N-d array into 1d array as well the accesing?
jacek: x[20][30][10] -> x[20*30*10]; x[i][j][k] -> x[((i*30+j)*10+k] and so on
Magmaflood: How about treat the sub array as an object?
jacek: huh
Magmaflood: [30][10] is object a, so [20][a]
Magmaflood: and so on and on
reCurse: That's what happens at compilation no?
ZarthaxX: jacek seems too specific
BunnyDude548: can someone tell me how to use boost in coders strike back?
jacek: naah
Magmaflood: yea, but if he wants to specifically make a function that works 2d, then he need to do it one by one
jacek: instead of thrust write BOOST
struct: print(x,y,"BOOST")
reCurse: I'd assume he couldn't have written that code in the first place
BunnyDude548: in a sring
BunnyDude548: string
jacek: :thinking:
Magmaflood: deep

Wontonimo: oh man, i can't believe how stressed out I was from that last competition. Didn't really come to terms with it till Tuesday
Wontonimo: i've gotta find a better balance and expectations for next competition
Wontonimo: how did you do on the competition NomNick ?
NomNick: well I had very pressing family matters at hand, I am barely a developper, I have always sucks at coding... so it's an euphemism to say that I had absolutely no pressure for this challenge, it's 100% for fun. I reached gold though with some magic numbers
NomNick: that's always nice
Wontonimo: Gold is fantastic NomNick. There were plenty of pro coders here that struggled to get into Gold, so good on ya
ZarthaxX: which pro coder struggled?
therealbeef: coding is a constant struggle
Wontonimo: the struggle is real
CamTheHelpDesk: the struggle is worth it

King_Coda: Pain
King_Coda: Lots of pain
King_Coda: And opioids
King_Coda: Let's take this to dm's
KalamariKing: probably yeah
jrke: surgery for what?
quakity: teeth
KalamariKing: his teeth got too wise
jrke: oh
jacek: missing teeth? quite a dream theme
jrke: get well soon
King_Coda: I'm already well, bruv. Think i cant take a little pain?
CamTheHelpDesk: who knows
jrke: did they asked you to eat cup ice cream?
VizGhar: Wisdom teeth?
King_Coda: Npe, no ice cream
King_Coda: Yes, wisdom teeth
King_Coda: My mouth feels much dumber now
VizGhar: you won't miss it
King_Coda: Nope, not at all
KalamariKing: forceful tooth fairy
Smelty: oh my
LelouchVC2: King Coda, you're still alive?
LelouchVC2: I guess the antibiotics must work
jacek: antibiotics for tooth?
LelouchVC2: It was surgery, they've probably prescribed antibiotics
Smelty: yes
King_Coda: They have
King_Coda: Antibiotics are fine
LelouchVC2: noice
King_Coda: I refuse to take the opioids though
King_Coda: The pain isn't even that bad. I'll only take them if i'm dying on the floor or something
LelouchVC2: shut up and take your drugs!
King_Coda: No.
linjoehan: Lol, I don't take them pain pills without extreme pain either. I just can't get my class inheritance right when I do.

dbdr: gg jacek
struct: jacek using book?
jacek: nah
jacek: at most, the teccless heuristic for first ~14 rounds
struct: nice
mikmak: what is the teccles heuristic?
jacek: if you can, make move that sends opponent to the same board
mikmak: ok thks, so I can probably see it on your replays.
ClockSort: e.g. if you are on board 3, try to make the opponent play on board 3 also?
jacek: yes
ClockSort: :thumbs_up:
Earnest_Gibbs: I'm stuck in the bronze, i'm not sure if I should be dodging pods now or something else?
VizGhar: Uff that Last Crusade 3 is harder then it looks :|
Wontonimo: Earnest_Gibbs, are you playing Coders Strikes Back?
Earnest_Gibbs: yea
Wontonimo: i looked at one of your replays
Wontonimo: and it looks like you are targeting the checkpoint
Wontonimo: instead of that, you can correct a bit for your drift by instead of targeting the checkpoint, subtract your current speed times 3
Wontonimo: so instead of (x,y)
Wontonimo: use
Wontonimo: (x - 3*vx , y - 3*vy)
Wontonimo: let me know how if that works for you Earnest_Gibbs
Earnest_Gibbs: What is vx and vy?
Wontonimo: velocity in the x direction and y direction
jacek: velocity, in other words, speed
Wontonimo: gogo, derivitive of position, zoominess
Wontonimo: (aka, change in position from one turn to another)
Heathro: activities -> complete has "1" notification. where is that? what is it? or it shows all the time?
Wontonimo: where do you see that?
Heathro: top left. the is icon home, activities, community
Heathro: ohh
Heathro: i found
Wontonimo: excellent, because i have no idea
Heathro: i should tap on CODINGAME FALL CHALLENGE 2021. because it is "new"
Heathro: thanks anyway )
jacek: fall 2021?
Wontonimo: yes, you should (I guess)
Wontonimo: yeah, to sign up
elderlybeginner: how do you evaluate position in UTTT?
struct: NN
jacek: most people use MCTS, no 'evaluation' in there
elderlybeginner: yep, how about minimax?
struct: its hard to evaluate the game
jacek: im not aware of minimax in legend
struct: there is
struct: dbdr was minimax iirc
Smelty: hmm so you can get to silver in game of drones by jus telling the drones to go to closest place?
Wontonimo: hey elderlybeginner, I tried evaluating position in UTTT
BlaiseEbuth: print(["WAIT","DOUBLE HULK","-3vel"].random())
Wontonimo: and one way is to just count the number of miniboards you own - opponent. Very quick and simple, obviouly flawed
Wontonimo: but it is better than nothing
Wontonimo: for miniboards that are not owned, count your pieces - their pieces per mini-board but weigh the boards differently. Weigh the corners with 50% more value and the center with 100% more value
xXWolfbloodXx: ...
Wontonimo: this won't get you in legend. for that use NN or MCTS
elderlybeginner: yep, simple but limited
yep, I also thought about rating open grids according to position e.g center 4, corners 3, other 2
elderlybeginner: both minimax and MCTS are new to me, so it's learing experience
Wontonimo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXW2yZndl7U
Wontonimo: a fantastic video explaining MCTS in simple straightforward steps with testable values
jacek: you can rate almost winning/losing miniboard higher/lower. like if X could win that board on his move, then that board is good for X
Wontonimo: hey, elderlybeginner, if you write a simulation don't do minimax or MCTS first. First, write flat MC (I used to call it 1plyMCTS but it is called flat MC in the literature)
Wontonimo: simply stated, for each possible first move of yours, run as many simulations of a full random game and keep track of the number of wins.
Wontonimo: do that equally for each first move and then when you run out of time, play the move with the most wins.
Wontonimo: If you can simulate 10k moves, this will get you to high silver
Wontonimo: then you know your sim is good and fast and then add a search, like minimax or mcts
elderlybeginner: thanks for the link. I believe you recommend it :wink:
VerticalCoot2: int ICanOnlyDoUnityCoding = lol
**xXWolfbloodXx slaps VerticalCoot2 around a bit with a large fishbot
Wontonimo: not only did i recommend it, i wrote an npm package called gMCTS using it and used the exact example as the unit test
**xXWolfbloodXx slaps Wontonimo around a bit with a large fishbot
raxkin: Wontonimo you mean 10k simulations each turn? I'm also starting with mcts. But i guess i will need to use bitboarding to have fast simulations?
raxkin: Or i should be able to reach 10k without bitboard?
Wontonimo: I don't think you'll get into Gold without bitboarding. I'd be super surprised if you got 5k/100ms w/o bitboard.
ClockSort: does CSB really not tell you, for example, your own velocity or the location of the opponent's pod?
Wontonimo: what level ClockSort ?
raxkin: Ok, i'm training with Breakthrough, and doing 500-600 sims, 2k at last turns, without bitboarding, also scala, so was not sure if it was normal
DomiKo:
ClockSort it does
ClockSort: it strikes me as odd, no pun intended, that they enable collisions but don't tell you anything about when/if a collision happens or will happen.
ClockSort: @Wontonimo bronze
ClockSort: are bronze rules always the full rules in every contest?
reCurse: Not on this one
ClockSort: :shrug:
reCurse: They add stuff until legend
ClockSort: sheesh! ok good to know
reCurse: Gold stops having garbage inputs
ClockSort: i finished your 8.5hrs of video @recurse :D
Wontonimo: achievement unlocked
reCurse: What did you do to punish yourself like this
ClockSort: 2x playback speed + copious use of the right arrow key
reCurse: Ok
reCurse: Respectable
jacek: now watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkgTxQm9DWM
reCurse: Not clicking on jacek youtubes anymore
AllYourTrees: how many full games are people simming per turn in breakthrough?
jacek: its not rick roll
reCurse: Nice try
ClockSort: rickroll is better
DomiKo: that one is nice
DomiKo: even quality is good
jacek: dbd is using mcts for breakthrough no? and he prints the iterations count
ClockSort: @jacek i only watched the first three minutes.
AllYourTrees: ill check jacek
jacek: and if he doesnt troll, it it 5k iterations in first turns
jacek: ClockSort good action starts at 30 minutes
AllYourTrees: ya he does jacek. so hes just using plain mcts? isn't 5k kinda low?
jacek: probably heavy biased. but maybe dbdr will answer himself
DomiKo: i have plan mcts with full random rollout and I got like 64K
DomiKo: but i'm 71st soo...
raxkin: how big of a difference is doing bitboard vs not bitboard?
AllYourTrees: huge difference
AllYourTrees: ty for sharing DomiKo! good to know
struct: massive difference
elderlybeginner: there is match and rematch in UTTT. Wining both is calculated as one win or two wins??
raxkin: like x10 more iterations for example?
jacek: most likely an order of magnitude
AllYourTrees: probably more than that tbh. it saves on memory which means copies are faster, and it means you can compute multiple things at the same time with the bit ops
raxkin: Ok, good to know, i guess that will be my next topic to learn
Wontonimo: yeah, to give some context raxkin, I made a python version of UTTT without bitboard and it was able to make about 300 simulations on the 2nd turn. With C++ using bitboards that increased to 40,000 on 2nd move
raxkin: i see, thanks for the info
LelouchVC2: Python is so fast that the cops couldn't keep up

LelouchVC2: And the black guy was like, "Well why wasn't it him this time!?"
LelouchVC2: You're welcome
BunnyDude548: can you please show me an example
LelouchVC2: of what?
ClockSort: sure.

Wontonimo: sus
Denshire: i think they meant an example of being kicked
BunnyDude548: ya
Denshire: okay i can show you an example but I'll need a volunteer
MeninuhFinn: guys, which way should I go first? Algorithms, clash of code or AI?
AntiSquid: LelouchVC2 don't answer that. It's another case of meaningless and ambiguous question @_@
MeninuhFinn: im kinda confused
Vinicius_Rangel: Hey guys, there's a discord for golang specific?
AntiSquid: always wasting your time
AntiSquid: ClockSort what the hell man. :/
AntiSquid: don't be like king code please
BunnyDude548: do AI first. it is the best. I am doing it right now
MeninuhFinn: is AI easier than the rest?
BunnyDude548: do you know how to code a bit?
MeninuhFinn: yeah, i started data structures these days
MeninuhFinn: but only for C++
BunnyDude548: then yes, AI or clash of code
ill-be-waiting-outside: hi
MeninuhFinn: i'm starting with javascript
MeninuhFinn: thanks for the help <3
BunnyDude548: you can always change the language
MeninuhFinn: oh nicee
MeninuhFinn: i changed to javascript
BunnyDude548: Can anyone tell me how to use boost in coders strike back?
LeviathanProgramming: it's called Read The Instructions
LeviathanProgramming: @BunnyDude548
BunnyDude548: i did but boss 3 keeps beating me :(
Mr.X_13: what?
Mr.X_13: wtf
ClockSort: I tried to just use the boost on the first turn. output "BOOST" instead of "100" for the thrust.
Galis16: Sorry guys, can anyone help me? I hve a problem when submitting a puzzle. I have solved 'IPv6 Shortener' in JS by using 3 different regex. All tests passes but when submitting I fail in one case and got a message saying something like I failed because of a hardcoded code... Of course, I don't hve any hardcoded chunk. Its just a line with 3 replaces, so I dont get it
Galis16: https://www.codingame.com/ide/puzzle/ipv6-shortener
LeviathanProgramming: no
BunnyDude548: you are being mean @LeviathanProgramming
LeviathanProgramming: you are being nice @BunnyDude548
Wontonimo: no, BunnyDude is being mean about you being factual
LeviathanProgramming: lol

AlkhilJohn, and bitwolf are always together for some reason most of the time.
JohnCM: i actually thought AlkhilJohn was a bot
TheBioTopHat_7b70: lalalla
TheBioTopHat_7b70: meow
TheBioTopHat_7b70: pog champ
Smelty: LeviathanProgramming , JohnCM Both of them are actual bots, just click on their profile and you'll see it
dodochunk: i was super confused does this site teach you the languages ???
Smelty: this is a site where you can apply your coding skills to compete
Smelty: however, you can also learn in the "learn" section under activities
dodochunk: i see that thank u
dodochunk: what does syntax mean?
Smelty: the way you code in a language
AntiSquid: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/28ed2117-eb21-4f78-886d-76b743719bf6
AntiSquid: dodochunk
JohnCM: clash of code is really good to learn a new language
JohnCM: you just keep clashing until you win
AliMourtada: I learned python like that
Smelty: yep
Smelty: ANd search up everything that you dont know as you are clashing
AntiSquid: clash of code is horrible if you need to look up syntax rules, best to do easy puzzles
New_coder_please_help: has anybody here done Code vs Zombies? I'm struggling to understand how people are memoizing this problem, it doesn't strike me as a DP problem

New_coder_please_help: whoops, I didn't mean to duplicate my message
BlackDereker: Spring Challenge 2021 seems s overwhelming
BlackDereker: there are a LOT of inputs
New_coder_please_help: it's best to start with just the inputs you get in the lower lleagues and then work your way up
New_coder_please_help: it's much less overwhelming that way
BlackDereker: there is a starter code to group the inputs better
New_coder_please_help: that is also true
New_coder_please_help: but my point remains
JohnCM: the spring challenge is not that bad. majority of the inputs are neighbour inputs, which is meant to help you do the seeding possibility decision
JohnCM: if you ignore all that, you can still get into bronze
BlackDereker: so the wood strategy is just complete the highest tree sizes?
JohnCM: wood is just complete, the faster the better
JohnCM: yes
BlackDereker: can someone train a neural network in this game?
BlackDereker: and if yes, how do you persist your model weights?
AntiSquid: you train locally, setup game locally and only put the final weights and forward prop in the submit version .
AntiSquid: what i did anyway .
BlackDereker: did u do that on the Legend league or before?
codeing: #in
Wontonimo: BlackDereker, if you implement NN for your bot in a multi here, you'll be one of the very few. Some of those few have been wildly successful using NNs here
Wontonimo: for Spring Challenge 2021, using the data as they provide it is really really handy for starter code.
Wontonimo: something that is really nice about the data is they provide a neighbour lookup, and it is exactly aligned with the sun
Smelty: yes
XxShruthikxX: h
