HolySkull_1ad8: hi
Thorcode: hi
jacek: oh they already gave notification about puzzle of the week
Thorcode: @Jacek have you finished the ascll Art
jacek: yes
Thorcode: could you help me
Thorcode: how to take the character in
Thorcode: for i in range(h):
row = input()
Thorcode: Just tell me how to do it
Thorcode: oh
jacek: you have to save rows in some 2d array, then read letters from that array
Thorcode: I know
Thorcode: how to print the letter from the last line
Thorcode: gosh this is hard
Uljahn: print(row[start:end]) ezpz
knyzorg: How do people get out of silver https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/crystal-rush
knyzorg: Absolutely brutal
Thorcode: is in chuck norris
Thorcode: we change the value into ASCII characters then to binary?
Uljahn: yep, find ASCII value of a character, then convert to 7-bit binary
Thorcode: oh
Thorcode: I change it to 2bit value
Thorcode: es = .join(format(ord(i), '08b') for i in s)
Thorcode: what happend to my code
Thorcode: why it doesn't pas
Uljahn: re-read the statement, there's more to that
Thorcode: gosh I must change number 1 to zero too
Thorcode: this puzzle is hard :(
Uljahn: it's fine, you can learn a lot while solving it
Thorcode: yeah
Thorcode: unary is not better than binary
littlebear: can i change color theme in editor ?
gilufin: yes in the setting on the left
littlebear: oh
littlebear: i meant theme like monokai, one dark pro
gilufin: Idk
littlebear: ok
Thorcode: could you guy help me the TEMPERATURES puzzle
derjack: ask the question
BlaiseEbuth: Who's the question?
Thorcode: oh
Thorcode: why i can't use min
Thorcode: import numpy as np
for i in input().split():
t = int(i)
print(np.find_nearest(t, 0))
Thorcode: I even try to use np
derjack: t is int, not array
Thorcode: yeah
Thorcode: I'm stupid
Thorcode: how can i convert the - number to + number
derjack: abs()
Thorcode: thanks
Thorcode: how can i find the 2 biggest number in python
mcks: max()?
Thorcode: max only 1 number
mcks: you could sort and select the last two maybe? i'm new myself ;D
SmilingBraniac: you can find thr biggest, remove it, and then find the new biggest
Thorcode: yeah
ProCoder03: Good afternoon guys... :smiley:
littlebear: good afternoon
AmazingPro: hello friends
Thorcode: hi gúy
AmazingPro: today we should only writh own OS
AmazingPro: i make calculator
Thorcode: are you sure
Thorcode: in chuck norris I almost fin it but i have a problem that
Thorcode: s = input()
es = .join(format(ord(i), '08b') for i in s)
print(str(es))
Thorcode: my code didn't change the number
Thorcode: could you help me
Thorcode: plz
jzen: 1. The str(es) is useless being that es is already a string
Thorcode: ok
jzen: 2. The Chuck Norris puzzle used 7-bit so 08b should be changed to 07b
Thorcode: ok
Thorcode: How to change number
Thorcode: like 1 to 0 0
jzen: Well that is the puzzle :)
Thorcode: :(
jzen: I would suggest you try some different things, you will learn a lot
Thorcode: I tried a lot
jzen: What have you tried?
Thorcode: oh
Thorcode: I should change it into array
Thorcode: I change it to array to append it
derjack: :tada:
Uljahn: you mean list, lists are not arrays
Thorcode: yeah
Thorcode: but how to change list to array :D
Uljahn: why?
Uljahn: what for?
Thorcode: when i print it back it hav [] and ,
Thorcode: [,a,b]
Thorcode: oh i'm stupid
Thorcode: but when I append how to delete number 1
Thorcode: coding games puzzles are harder than bot compete
Thorcode: for n in bimsg: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/6fbd9c6f-6bf3-4c29-9bf5-0c43ec4b1294
Thorcode: what does this code do guy
jzen: I would suggest you use enumerate instead of calling index every time: for index, n in enumerate(bimsg):
Thorcode: oh thanks
jzen: Also since n is a string your comparison with int will return false
jzen: In n == 1
jzen: What you meant to write was perhaps n == '1'
Thorcode: the n in the asscill code
Thorcode: I'm trying to replace it
jzen: bimsg is the string you had named es earlier right?
Thorcode: yeah
Thorcode: oh
Thorcode: I should change it to es
Thorcode: not use bimsg = es
Thorcode: ==
Thorcode: 0 000 000 000 000 00 00 0
ProCoder03: Automaton2000 what do you think of this ??
Automaton2000: is it hard to find a better solution
Weestack: Pigabuuh
MiyamuraIzumi: well offical format of FC 2021 is still not published
derjack: :scream:
MiyamuraIzumi: isn't Tibo said that it should be today?
jzen: Automaton2000 what is the official format of FC 2021?
Automaton2000: i have the same issue
MiyamuraIzumi: Tibo once said that it is CodingEscape
MiyamuraIzumi: but it is not offically annouce
MiyamuraIzumi: hello guys
littlebear: hi
littlebear: Automaton2000 hi
Automaton2000: is it in the first few days
littlebear: Automaton2000 idk
Automaton2000: how did u know that in the end
MiyamuraIzumi: what are you talking about?
jzen: Yeah Automaton2000, what are you talking about?
Automaton2000: how do you solve the problem with the way i do it
Newbhans: hi im really new in the programming can i have friends :<
ProCoder03: Automaton2000 is a bot...
Automaton2000: i only had to do the whole thing at once
ProCoder03: if you mention its name, it will speak
jzen: Automaton2000 would you like to be friends with Newbhans?
Automaton2000: tried with another browser ?
_NikJ: Is there a way to change which achievements are listed in profile as Best Achievements?
jzen: Doubt it
ProCoder03: nope only the best achievements , CG somehow does it idk..
ProCoder03: can we do oop in C ??
TimothyAlexisVass: What's the equivalent to JavaScript's console.error in Python?
BlaiseEbuth: console.python
TimothyAlexisVass: :\ ?
BlaiseEbuth: :3
KiwiTae: sys.stderr
ProCoder03: print("Debug messages...", file=sys.stderr, flush=True)
TimothyAlexisVass: Thank you
BlaiseEbuth: :thumbsup:
MIRC: hello
MIRC: im studying computer science and i want to get to know how to deal with programming
MIRC: any tips?
Uljahn: learn and practice
MIRC: yea but like where
TimothyAlexisVass: Here
MIRC: cuz all i know is how to work on dev c++ and make small things
MIRC: where exactly?
MIRC: the fourms?
Wontonimo: if you don't know about variables, loops, arrays, and functions, then here isn't the best place. once you do know those concepts, COME BACK !
MIRC: I'm studying them currently i have an idea about them
Uljahn: i'd recommend https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming if you want to practice with larger projects
MIRC: thx bud
Wontonimo: someone weirdo this easy puzzle. try starting with this one https://www.codingame.com/training/easy/fax-machine
MIRC: thx i understand this better
Uljahn: yeah, if you feel overwhelmed you can always fall back to easy/medium puzzles to gather some confidence and to look for community solutions
MIRC: thank you honestly since im a noobie you all treated me better than other websites and helped
Wontonimo: "easy" puzzles here are still challenging and require thought. The "easy" ones are a lot harder than your typical interview coding challenge.
Wontonimo: at least here in Canada
2gacem7: So i can work in Canada ? x)
Wontonimo: no, you may be able to pass the coding exercise. doesn't mean you'll answer the architecture questions correctly
Wontonimo: also, typically you get no internet / google / books / computer and instead have to write it on a whiteboard in one go without bugs in 10 min or less.
ProCoder03: [CG]Thibaud just curious when are official news about FC2021 coming ??
[CG]Thibaud: this week
ProCoder03: :+1:
derjack: more and more people are coming back to bt :scream:
Wontonimo: for the new people, bt is this
https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/breakthrough
TimothyAlexisVass: Thank you Wontonimo
Wontonimo: congrats on getting "Legend level" in collaboration Timothy
Wontonimo: are you working your way through the whole quest map?
MiyamuraIzumi: Hello guyz
derjack: ohai
mehdilh: the coincidence xD getting this on coc : ou feel sorry for the people who have to create a contribution to progress on the quest map, so you have created three bots that upvote contributions.
jzen: Did you get it in shortest or fastest?
mehdilh: shortest
MiyamuraIzumi: is there richest most?
None121232: You must find the sum of the mods of a list of numbers.
Modular arithmetic refers to the remainder of the divide function. A mod B = the remainder of A/B.
None121232: can anyone solve it
MiyamuraIzumi: is this in richest mode.
None121232: nope
Wontonimo: sum([ a%b for a in numbers ])
Wontonimo: there, done
Wontonimo: :wave: MiyamuraIzumi
derjack: :upside_down:
BlaiseEbuth: (╯°□°)╯︵ :)
Wontonimo: hi derjack and BlaiseEbuth. It's been a while since I've seen so many online at once
derjack: could be pre contest fever?
**BlaiseEbuth escape from the contest.
Rory_K: Hello
Wontonimo: hello
Westicles: full moon
Wontonimo: i wonder how CP would be awarded for an escape
MiyamuraIzumi: well, it is even a team play
Westicles: I think CG is phasing out CP
Wontonimo: is it ranked on time? Like fastest mode
derjack: oO
Wontonimo: is that just a hunch or do you have info on that Westicle
Westicles: Just a hunch
BlaiseEbuth: I think CG is phasing out CG
eulerscheZahl: "i wonder how CP would be awarded for an escape"
they won't, I asked the same
MiyamuraIzumi: if CG phase out CP then ....
Wontonimo: I really like the multiple measurement system here : XP, CP, Achievements, Quest Map
eulerscheZahl: i like the contests :(
MiyamuraIzumi: I like the multi and optimal
Wontonimo: having different measurements was something that really kept me engaged in the first 4 months
eulerscheZahl: so i'm playing yare in JS now. got my next match in about 1h
derjack: yare yare
Wontonimo: once I hit a wall in one, I would switch to another for a while and then continue to make progress.
Wontonimo: I agree MiyamuraIzumi, the multi and optimal is where I spend most of my time and interest now
Nukedfire13: i need help with coding my codes suck butt
Westicles: If they kill the main source of CP but keep it as metric, it will just lead to stagnation.
MiyamuraIzumi: maybe FC2021 is just a test
MiyamuraIzumi: they will do it different next year
MiyamuraIzumi: based on FC2021 result
Wontonimo: There are lots of metrics (as I said I like) but one that they are missing is a contribution metric, like tech.io posts. Something akin to kaggle contribution metric
Wontonimo: Nukedfire13, what are you working on ?
MiyamuraIzumi: isn't that we have achievement for contribution?
Wontonimo: but it is mixed with other achievements
Wontonimo: like getting to gold and legend in multis
Wontonimo: XP ~ puzzles you've done
CP ~ multis you've mastered
?? ~ contrib you've made
MiyamuraIzumi: well, CG is now focus more on the escape
MiyamuraIzumi: maybe we will have contributions on creation of Escape
Wontonimo: maybe some sunk cost fallacy involved in escape. maybe some product differentiation (since others are getting into multis). I don't understand the escape thing.
derjack: they cant escape the escape
Wontonimo: seems so
Westicles: Can't fault them for trying to make some money. It would be a shame to come here one day and get a 404
Wontonimo: Absolutely agree 100%
Wontonimo: I often wonder what all this compute is costing and how it is being funded
Astrobytes: The Escape Room thing is what they're trying to push to companies as internal teambuilding contests (in place of the internal/semi-private multiplayer bot contests). So it makes sense that they would test it out in this respect.
Wontonimo: cool
eulerscheZahl: and promote it to find more potential customers
Astrobytes: Yep.
Astrobytes: I mean, I don't like my contests being taken away but I can see their logic.
eulerscheZahl: sometimes we just have to face the reality: we are mostly a cost factor. creating a bot contest can take months. and server costs + prizes on top of that
Astrobytes: For sure.
BlaiseEbuth: Yeah... The subsystem is coherent. What is not is why they don't capitalize on the bots contests/ SDK
Astrobytes: Yeah. Well, it's not up to us what direction they wanna go in, it's their business.
MiyamuraIzumi: I think CG is focus more on tech hiring and company events
Astrobytes: I guess we just wait and see what happens.
BlaiseEbuth: It's up to me to blithely criticize.
Astrobytes: MiyamuraIzumi: that's what they do anyway
Astrobytes: BlaiseDBlithe
MiyamuraIzumi: yes, so Escape is for this goal
BlaiseEbuth: Astrobytes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-JsEP9hDQk
Astrobytes: Yes. They hope to replace bot-contest based company events with Escape events.
Astrobytes: hahaha brilliant!
Wontonimo: if one was to start on BT, what suggestions would you give them. I'm asking "for a friend" ;)
Astrobytes: Go straight to bitboards
Wontonimo: I seem to recall someone using UCT with a small depth minimax eval
Astrobytes: Decide if you have an idea for a decent eval or not, this will influence your search algo
Astrobytes: Yes, EPT
Astrobytes: Not sure of the depth
darkhorse64: MCTS/EPT is much better than MCTS for BT
Astrobytes: Makes sense
Wontonimo: EPT?
Astrobytes: early playout termination
darkhorse64: early playout termination
Wontonimo: thanks
darkhorse64: I have just issued a Lines Of Action contribution. We are 8 months away from the next multi ... It's still very much a WIP
Astrobytes: oh cool, I'm going afk for a bit but I'll check that in a few hours
darkhorse64: Yes, I'll need help
Katespizer: did code editor changed? I think colors used to be different like yesterday
Westicles: yes, they are purplier
Katespizer: i think they enabled bracketPairColorization in monaco editor
Katespizer: nested brackets have different colors
jacek: Wontonimo what a coincedence, there is paper on EPT with breakthrough example
jacek: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-27992-3_2
jacek: line of actions? the one with mcts solver? :scream:
CodingWizardAI: Has anyone fully completed the Stock Exchange Losses challenge, I'm doing it in Java and completed all the test cases excluding #5 which gives an overtime error, does anyone know how to fix it?
Katespizer: wow, they added snippets to editor too? Or is it somehow reading options from my browser, but i doubt it
eulerscheZahl: CodingWizardAI there's a way to solve the puzzle while only looking at each value once. if you have nested loops, you are doing something wrong (or inefficient at least)
CodingWizardAI: okay, thanks, I'll try to only use one loop
Cezaro0o: stuck on coders strike XD i'm a noob any suggestion
jacek: stuck?
Cezaro0o: Yes not any idea sorry 3
Wontonimo: i have some suggestions
Wontonimo: i'll DM you
Wontonimo: I'm pretty sure I can help you with some ideas
Wontonimo: Cezaro0o asks for help then vanishes ... oh, so sad
Wontonimo: 'tis so common these days, the vanishing answer seeker
Westicles: We tell all new guys on PM to ask CSB questions to make you happy
algorithmbear: lol
darkhorse64: wontoMK
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: sups
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: can someone help me with coding
MeBen: How would anyone know if they can help you if you haven't asked a question? :)
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: im asking if anyone could help me, thats a yes or no answer
nulte: darkhorse64 ill check the loa game
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: im trying to code the "your first bot"
nulte: let me speed run the sim
nulte: need to get first before jacek gets his nn ready
darkhorse64: I have started to scratch the LoA surface. It looks quite hard to master
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: nevermind, i should try to understand it
eulerscheZahl: LoA?
nulte: I had the idea that the game was more simple
nulte: lines of action
darkhorse64: MSmits will be happy to build a new opening book. Lines Of Action
struct: and ill be happy to waste my time on performance
struct: :D
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: what is the best website for making a dating sim?
darkhorse64: I have some ideas for a fast wincheck.
Astrobytes: Christ almighty not this one again
eulerscheZahl: :D
eulerscheZahl: that was quick
Astrobytes: I have zero tolerance for that imbecile
eulerscheZahl: and i just returned right in time to see your reaction live
eulerscheZahl: i'm nervous, next yare round in a few minutes
eulerscheZahl: those elimination games are harsh
struct: I tried another cf round
Astrobytes: Best of luck with it!
eulerscheZahl: how did it go?
struct: and I suck so much
struct: lol
struct: I dont think I know any of those algos
struct: Like I can solve the problems but I always end up timing out
Astrobytes: Time to learn some ;)
struct: because I dont use the right method
eulerscheZahl: i'm just gonna rush my opponent at yare. when I play properly i'll lose
struct: also gl on yare
eulerscheZahl: those codeforces rounds require a lot of previous knowledge
struct: I see
struct: but the round was cancelled anyways
struct: due to queue issues
eulerscheZahl: you can come up with some slightly more sophisticated algos on your own. but not in that short amount of time
struct: Yeah, I solved A,B,C pretty easily but was not the right approach
struct: so i timed out on b and c
struct: I get why though
BlaiseEbuth: Is there bot programming on code force?
eulerscheZahl: codejam often manages to find problems that can be solved without those complicated algos but some out-of-the-box thinking
struct: dont think so
eulerscheZahl: rarely some optim contest
struct: is kotlin heroes easier?
eulerscheZahl: otherwise it's like puzzles here. a few are interactive (multiple cycles of read/write), most are purely textbased read all => write all
eulerscheZahl: what DIV are you in?
BlaiseEbuth: Meh... Any non-cg website with bot prog?
BlaiseEbuth: Other than ponctual contests I mean
eulerscheZahl: kotlin heroes has about 9 problems. some are very easy. others so hard that i can't solve them even if you give me a full day
eulerscheZahl: usually I can solve about 5-6 out of those 9
eulerscheZahl: and tshirts for top50 + random 50 who solved at least 1 problem
struct: I think I can solve 1 :p
struct: At the least the chances are higher than getting top 50
jacek: it will take some time before ill nn the loa, do not worry
jacek: now every new multiplayer contribution will have neural network in tags eh
struct: more nns on bt too
VizGhar: Hey guys :) same faces I see. I want to spend some time here, but I barely have time to breathe...
jacek: other than 3?
struct: 5 NNs
TimothyAlexisVass: How can I check if an index exists in a list in Python?
Astrobytes: yo VizGhar been a while!
struct: hi VizGhar
BlaiseEbuth: So stop breathing.
eulerscheZahl: bad news for you: next contest is an escape room contest and not bot
VizGhar: hi guys
eulerscheZahl: so that this is done: welcome back Viz :)
VizGhar: what? :O omg
jacek: is this confirmed?
TimothyAlexisVass: This works in JavaScript:
a = [1, 2, 3]
if(a[4]) i = a[4]
struct: yes jacek
Astrobytes: Yes jacek
TimothyAlexisVass: How can I do the same in Python?
eulerscheZahl: thibaud confirmed it here on chat
jacek: and you believe mods?
struct: if a in list:
print(true)
struct: I didnt jacek
jacek: print(a in list)
struct: my first step was denial
TimothyAlexisVass: no
TimothyAlexisVass: That checks if a value is in the list.
TimothyAlexisVass: This checks if the index is out of range.
TimothyAlexisVass: This checks if the index is within range*
jacek: if n >= len(tab): out of bounds
struct: list.index(a)
struct: I still dont believe it tbh
struct: Ill wait for announcement
NinjaDoggy: I'll be in deny with you struct :(
NinjaDoggy: until the announcement :(
Astrobytes: The chat logs don't lie.
BlaiseEbuth: Dead site tells no lies.
jacek: nyoro~n
TimothyAlexisVass: Thank you guys.
Uljahn: TimothyAlexisVass: use try/except
eulerscheZahl: wish me luck
https://yare.io/d1/mpygwf23m271
struct: gl
Astrobytes: best of luck!
eulerscheZahl: aaaand it's gone
struct: :/
struct: I see that you are rank 5 now
jacek: hm?
struct: on yare
eulerscheZahl: that leaderboard is pointless
eulerscheZahl: https://challonge.com/yare
eulerscheZahl: i just lost vs thebitspud
eulerscheZahl: double elimination, so i still have a chance
struct: That battle counted for the leaderboard?
struct: for the tree*
Astrobytes: See what you mean about harsh
eulerscheZahl: was not ranked for leaderboard
eulerscheZahl: to be fair he deserved to win. better bot
eulerscheZahl: it's also a bit rock paper scissors of different shapes
Vracto: hi
struct: is Dapp daporan?
eulerscheZahl: no
eulerscheZahl: Dapp is also Dapp on CG discord. I don't know the CG username however
eulerscheZahl: was about to link the contest post of him but it's deleted?!
TimothyAlexisVass: In JavaScript we can do while(z=readline()) console.log(z)
Is there an equivalent in Python?
eulerscheZahl: golf?
just do while 1: print(input())
TimothyAlexisVass: This is for a regular puzzle.
Uljahn: while (z:=input()): print(z, file=sys.stderr)
Uljahn: i guess
eulerscheZahl: python has := ?
Uljahn: ye
eulerscheZahl: is that the walrus thing?
Astrobytes: since 3.7 or 3.8?
Astrobytes: yeah
TimothyAlexisVass: It works, thanks
eulerscheZahl: right, i read something about it. and then forgot it again
eulerscheZahl: i even lost track of some C# innovations
Astrobytes: :older_man:
eulerscheZahl: i saw this coming
Astrobytes: :D
eulerscheZahl: do you know all C++ syntax?
Astrobytes: No, I constantly discover things
BlaiseEbuth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHviwdECNjU
eulerscheZahl: C++ is a mess. there are some many variants of it (same standard, just so many ways to write it)
eulerscheZahl: is that music BlaiseEbuth? if so, please add a warning to it
jacek: rick roll eh
BlaiseEbuth: Warning ?
struct: nobody truly knows c++
eulerscheZahl: no, i just hate music. and blaise has some history of linking videos that i close instantly again
jacek: truly :older_man:
BlaiseEbuth: "I hate music" :scream:
eulerscheZahl: already as a baby...
when my mom wanted to sing for me, i started crying
eulerscheZahl: in kindergarten we had this singing circle every day. pure torture
eulerscheZahl: i always looked to the ground so they wouldn't see that I don't sing along :D
jacek: i hated those too, but i hated social integrating than music
Astrobytes: lol wtf Blaise :rofl:
jacek: you have something like misophonia for music?
eulerscheZahl: never heard about that. I just find it annoying
BlaiseEbuth: The walrus is looking. OO
eulerscheZahl: i hated social interaction with screaming kids of my age too
Astrobytes: It's called musical anhedonia
Astrobytes: Not uncommon
jacek: or this could be german thing
jacek: https://backend.countryballs.net/_uploads/original/72/72204955.png
Astrobytes: Requiring intensive oompah music sessions to cure it?
BlaiseEbuth: Horrible... That someone shorten his suffering.
struct: royale bot is evil
struct: https://www.codingame.com/replay/581821297?f=58
struct: :(
struct: can win in 1 turn but waits so long
Astrobytes: lol, did he make that a feature or is it a bug :thinking:
struct: dont think its a bug
BlaiseEbuth: What's the difference?
struct: no difference
struct: a win is a win
Wontonimo: "I like my opponents to feel like they are doing well" - Andre the Giant
_Royale: lol, it's not a feature :)
Astrobytes: hahaha
BlaiseEbuth: Yeah _Royale! Hit him when he's already on the ground! :imp!
struct: just make it output the 7th row piece if you have 1 there
struct: is what I did on my mcts
struct: i mean my mcts stops before searching that move
BlaiseEbuth: Can't unregister from the challenge...
BlaiseEbuth: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
BlaiseEbuth: Vicious trap
Wontonimo: which challenge?
BlaiseEbuth: fc21
Astrobytes: ER21
MiyamuraIzumi: haha
Wontonimo: there is no escape
eulerscheZahl: i was smart enough to never register (i always do it last minute)
MiyamuraIzumi: I think I just let it there
MiyamuraIzumi: and not touch on it
struct: same
struct: I never register
BlaiseEbuth: I don't want to inflate statistics. :(
Astrobytes: Doesn't matter if you don't participate
BlaiseEbuth: Yeah, right. Like the 100K+ active members...
Astrobytes: lol
MiyamuraIzumi: well, I have been trapped
jacek: :scream: https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/581822283
jacek: also one peculiarity, it says 0.6 before proving loss :x
BlaiseEbuth: We're locked in together in this awful trap... I'll probably have to eat you to survive. Nothing personal.
jacek: and he got robo too https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/581814866
MiyamuraIzumi: haha
MiyamuraIzumi: 7,470 CodinGamers have registered, looked like quite many in this trap
jacek: _Royale is it NN?
_Royale: jacek: yes
jacek: :tada:
**BlaiseEbuth wipes the blood flowing from his eyes after opening the site's IDE.
struct: did the colors in the ide change?
struct: why are my parenthesis pink
Astrobytes: Seems so. Either that someone spiked my water.
BlaiseEbuth: That's agressive.
jacek: includes are more pink
struct: nah
struct: the other is brighter
BlaiseEbuth: The worst is the flash yellow braces.
Astrobytes: It doesn't bother me too much, but inexplicably psychedelic updates to the IDE... why?
struct: im not sure it was cg
struct: its monday
BlaiseEbuth: Borred devs on a monday morning.
Astrobytes: :rofl:
jacek: is that monaco thing?
jacek: let write this on bug-report
struct: I dont really use the ide
struct: But I had to open it to copy paste code from my bt bot
Wontonimo: i've done all of Tron via the ide

Wontonimo: if dreaming is experience replay (ER), then my dog is an ER champ! He has lived his life several times over
Wontonimo: oh, this was silly tron simulation for anything other than total noob bots https://www.codingame.com/replay/581824987
struct: that will be a good seed to have vs rank 1
MiyamuraIzumi: that replay seem already have result from start
MiyamuraIzumi: or from the seed
Wontonimo: you win one, they win one... obviously you two are equal
struct: no Wontonimo
struct: because of true skill
BlaiseEbuth: No seed in tron, just start positions
struct: The elo gain / loss from bot games will be different
Wontonimo: i think my sarcasm didn't come across strongly enough
BlaiseEbuth: The predicted winner always can make an invalid move. :3
Wontonimo: gtg
Wontonimo: l8r
struct: later
struct: eulerscheZahl at what time is your yare match?
eulerscheZahl: the one from today? I lost it already
struct: ah its only 1 match per day?
eulerscheZahl: my next is in 2 days
struct: I thought it would be the 3 matches today
eulerscheZahl: https://yare.io/tournament
scroll down
eulerscheZahl: oh right, best of 3. i played the 2nd right after and lost that too
eulerscheZahl: and a 3rd just for fun, also lost
BlaiseEbuth: Shame
eulerscheZahl: with 3 different strategies
eulerscheZahl: first attempt was the closest. i think i could tweak it in case we get another fight vs each other
eulerscheZahl: now i'm in the lower bracket. still a small chance to reach the finals
struct: I have soccer game that day, but I wish gl for the match
jacek: :soccer: game?
struct: oui
BlaiseEbuth: Sim
struct: darkhorse64 any chance of having mirrored games for loa?
jacek: do you have 1 player has big advantage there?
struct: no idea
jacek: lets wait for smits openinig book
eulerscheZahl: i'm out at soccer again :(
probably a ligament rupture
Astrobytes: :older_man:
struct: :/
eulerscheZahl: take care of your hand astro
Astrobytes: My hand is great now
Astrobytes: Everything else is crap but the hand is good :D
**BlaiseEbuth throw garlic cloves on Astrobytes.
Astrobytes: Unlucky though man, you didn't warm up enough or...?
eulerscheZahl: wet lawn, enemy touching my foot while I was sprinting
eulerscheZahl: bad combination, I stepped on the side of my foot
eulerscheZahl: now my ankle is pretty thick
eulerscheZahl: win for home office, would be a pain to go to the office like that
struct: I also had ankle injury a few weeks ago
Astrobytes: Ouch.
struct: Couldnt move my foot for 3 days +-
struct: Was not too bad
BlaiseEbuth: Old things break so easily...
eulerscheZahl: but you are still young struct, it heals quicker
Devansh_ojha: wassup
Devansh_ojha: fairfax high school
Devansh_ojha: lit af
eulerscheZahl: i see a kick coming
Devansh_ojha: yo you guys know kobe
BlaiseEbuth: You've got another kick coming. :musical_score:
Devansh_ojha: yo you guys know how to code
struct: I wish
Devansh_ojha: i am from FBI
eulerscheZahl: there we go
takuruki_Sama: hey guys im new
MiyamuraIzumi: what is code
MiyamuraIzumi: I don't know what is code
jacek: dont hurt me
pyab: Hey Guys
MiyamuraIzumi: hey gayz
AntiSquid: we kick people just for being weird ? :D
AntiSquid: MiyamuraIzumi this isn't a dating site
eulerscheZahl: for telling they are from the FBI
AntiSquid: :thinking: maybe they are in which case kick deserved
3141948: > i'm out at soccer again :(
> probably a ligament rupture
😔
3141948: I broke it during a soccer game ar university 🙁
AntiSquid: that's how a lot of professional athletes retire
guess your career ended before you became famous
AntiSquid: i messed up a tendon, obviously would have been world champ otherwise
jacek: if you played soccer on paper, you would be fine
AntiSquid: i would be benched
Scarfield: can still be dangerous, pens are pointy
BlaiseEbuth: ScarFear
darkhorse64: struct: to my knowledge, there is no blatant advantage for one color or the other. I don't think mirrored games are needed. I may shorten games to 150 turns (which is already a lot given the sample games that I have seen) and increase turn duration
struct: im not sure that more time is needed
struct: othello is 150ms and I think it was a mistake
struct: 100ms was fine there
Scarfield: BlangstEbuth
struct: But I havent tried loa properly yet
struct: im gonna write the sim now
Scarfield: ooh, working on a contrib darkhorse?
Astrobytes: ScarfOfAction
darkhorse64: WIP: Lines Of Action
dbf: eulerscheZahl I wish you a good health for your leg! :wink:
struct: its a bit tricky the sim
Scarfield: DismaystroBytes
Astrobytes: :)
Astrobytes: Yeah, skipping pieces and things
Scarfield: have been thinking about taking on chess again, but this could be a good contestant for procrastinating chess some more :)
Astrobytes: lol
Astrobytes: Since there's no contest we have to work on something right!
darkhorse64: I wonder if, like Othello, you can deprive your opponent from moves. In that case, I'll need to change the referee to handle that case. This is the kind of things (turn duration, pass move) that I need to sort out before asking for approval
struct: also I have no idea yet how im gonna check for a win
struct: there is pass here?
struct: I dont think its possible darkhorse
darkhorse64: pick a piece, flood fill
struct: I think you can always move
darkhorse64: pass is not implemented
Astrobytes: +1 what darkhorse said
struct: But you can pass?
Astrobytes: if the count of connected pieces equals your total then you win
darkhorse64: ^
struct: yeah but my question now is related to passing
struct: " (turn duration, pass move) "
darkhorse64: I read unclear things about pass but I have yet to find an example
Astrobytes: It seems not
struct: Dont think its possible
struct: If the two players make a group in the same turn, the game ends in a draw.
struct: Do you have this condition darkhorse64?
Astrobytes: "If your last move connects simultaneously your checkers and the opponent checkers, it is considered as a win for you"
struct: hmm
struct: I think thats wrong
struct: unless ludii rules are wrong
Astrobytes: Is that the same thing as what struct said darkhorse64?
struct: ah its his choice I guess
struct: depends on the tournament according to wiki
Astrobytes: Ah ok
darkhorse64: No, it's a win for the player that made the move (my choice). I want to avoid draws
Astrobytes: There are still draws if both players finish unconnected after max turns
struct: yeah wiki says the same
darkhorse64: According to Wikipedia, it was also the game designer will. Not the most popular choice, though
darkhorse64: Given that the goal is not to score checkers, I choose to have a draw when the game is unconclusive. I hope itt will not happen often
Astrobytes: Yeah, it's correct. It won't happen with smarter bots.
struct: This game seems hard for humans
Astrobytes: Haven't played LoA irl
struct: it seems to be hard to keep track of legal moves
darkhorse64: Smart game for smart guys
struct: because they change due to the number of pieces in that line
jacek: so killer moves would be meh?
TimothyAlexisVass: Can anyone think of a way to somehow shorten this? (JavaScript)
if(Y<y){d+='N';y--}
TimothyAlexisVass: if(Y<y){d+="N";y--}if(Y>y){d+="S";y++}if(X<x){d+="W";x--}if(X>x){d+="E";x++}
struct: yes
struct: remove north
struct: Thor never moves north I think
struct: on validators
struct: either north or south, cant remember
jacek: woah there was a change to win by capturing all pieces https://www.codingame.com/replay/581833494
jacek: chance*
struct: o.o
struct: even zugzwang for 1 move
struct: :p
jacek: bt could be 1 big zugzwang
AllYourTrees: omg who pushed me to #2 in C4
AllYourTrees: wth
AllYourTrees: this is the highest i've ever been
jacek: then dont do drugs
AllYourTrees: lol
jacek: ja_fica is spam submitting eh
AllYourTrees: looks like it
AllYourTrees: and yurkov
AllYourTrees: :eyes:
AllYourTrees: i've been working on C4 for months now its kinda crazy
Bludbathmcgraf: Why does no one use JAva?
Bludbathmcgraf: is there a way i can play exclusively with java people
jzen: You can sort by language and pretend
jzen: :)
jzen: Oh I guess you mean in clash
struct: only on private clashes
Wontonimo: an alternative Bludbathmcgraf is to play bot battles or puzzles instead

Jay10890: ok
Jay10890: know any other cities its like
struct: well Lisbon is the opposite
struct: its too crowded
Jay10890: your so far away from me google maps cant even give me directions to see the miles
Jay10890: but anyway your like seas from me
struct: distance from portugal to us is 7335 km
struct: 4558 miles
Jay10890: why portugal and not
Jay10890: leiria
struct: just add like 20 miles from the sea
Jay10890: so do u know the total miles from us from leiria or is that 4558 miles
struct: idk
Jay10890: so the distance from portugal from the us is 7335
struct: yes
Jay10890: from u to me is 11 thousand something
Jay10890: i got a question
Jay10890: why does it not let me delete messages
struct: that feature wasnt made
Jay10890: ok
Jay10890: do u know all the solutins or some to diffrent puzzles
Jay10890: and also another question
Jay10890: why havent thay made nofications
struct: They did
Jay10890: no bc like if someone text me i dont see the text
struct: Jay10890 but you get a ping
struct: and red text
struct: ah you mean private message

Jay10890: what idiot
Astrobytes: Jay10890: struct will know to whom I am referring.
Jay10890: im not a idiot
Astrobytes: You were not implicated so far.
Jay10890: its not so far its never
struct: I never saw him before Astrobytes
Jay10890: i dont men to be mean or anything
Jay10890: mean*
Jay10890: astrobyte
Jay10890: but
Astrobytes: ...
Astrobytes: But what?
Jay10890: are u named after a astronaut
Astrobytes: No.
Jay10890: or are u named after mega bytes
Astrobytes: No.
Jay10890: get it?
Illedan: No.
Jay10890: astro bytes is his name
Jay10890: astro naut
Jay10890: mega bytes
Illedan: Don't you have puzzles to solve?
Jay10890: im on ASCII Art
Jay10890: but im stuck
Jay10890: and dont u have work to do like mod or som?
Jay10890: do some epic gamer moves
Jay10890: and mod
Astrobytes: Thin ice
Illedan: Very
Jay10890: what u mean
Illedan: The ice is less than 2 cm
Astrobytes: You're risking a ban
Jay10890: how
Astrobytes: Being a tool
Jay10890: what i do
Jay10890: how i being a tool
Jay10890: something i said
Astrobytes: Shut up and do a puzzle.
struct: come join on c4
struct: I need the rank
Illedan: Finish FB
struct: After I finish loa
struct: Illedan
Illedan: :eyes:
Astrobytes: Illedan: you need to resub your snek
Illedan: Soon :P
Illedan: Og
struct: Ok maybe ill do csb first
Illedan: *oh
Illedan: it died
struct: I still want to do avx properly there
struct: like calculate collisions at the same time instead of playing 8 games at once
Astrobytes: The very thought of waiting for a CSB submit to end puts me off going near it again
Illedan: haha
Illedan: It is perfect when I'm on baby watch
Astrobytes: lol :D
Illedan: Do some tweaks, wait 1 hour for proff of failure
Illedan: blame baby
Illedan: repeat
Astrobytes: How is your little one?
Illedan: Sleeping on me now so the mother gets some sleep
struct: have you tried letting the baby choose the params?
Astrobytes: Enjoying so far? :)
struct: Just give him a numpad and he will do the rest
Illedan: Didn't compile struct
Astrobytes: lol
Illedan: Yeah, very nice. Just missing some spare time :P
Astrobytes: You get it back in 18-21 years it's OK :)
Illedan: True
Illedan: But then CG is just Escape rooms
struct: lol
Astrobytes: The sadness is real
struct: https://i.imgur.com/CpAaFcm.png
struct: soon its finished
Illedan: Multi or delete
struct: I finished making an array to store the lines
struct: I did say that Illedan :(
Illedan: :(
Jay10890: your mean astrobytes
Illedan: You're
Jay10890: im what
Illedan: *
Jay10890: what
Illedan: Meh, this doesn't give me positive energy. I'll go back to Unity and poke my game. bye
struct: cya Illedan
Jay10890: struct
struct: yes
Jay10890: why is astro being mean
struct: He isn't
Jay10890: he said shut up and do a puzzle
Illedan: Because you talk to much nonesense
struct: Well this website is for that
Jay10890: but he didnt have to say shutup
Jay10890: and how i talk nonesense
Jay10890: me just me do coding game me talk no nonesense me sorry
Jay10890: if im somehow bothering u
Jay10890: :nerd:
Jay10890: :japanese_ogre:
Jay10890: :japanese_goblin:
Jay10890: why nobody respond\
Jay10890: me is sd
Jay10890: sad
Jay10890: :disappointed_relieved:
Jay10890: me sad
Jay10890: bc nobody respond
struct: stop spamming
Jay10890: HOW AM I SPAMMING
struct: and lets keep chatting related to coding
Jay10890: know what goodbye because some how im spamming
Uljahn: :rolling_eyes:
struct: oh no the guilt trip
Astrobytes: Honestly. I'm moderating on a youtube stream right now (for the 3rd time tonight) and never kicked nor warned a single person
Jay10890: not coding related
Jay10890: struct
Jay10890: what u say at 6:22pm about something not being code related
Astrobytes: So much crap :(
struct: oh no
struct: is he in my pms
Astrobytes: He was in mine
Astrobytes: I care not.
struct: same
struct: I just mute the ping
struct: Time to go back to code loa
Astrobytes: Not gonna work on a sim til tomorrow
struct: sim is quite hard I think
struct: Ill need to use arrays to get moves
Astrobytes: To be efficient yes
Astrobytes: Yeah, that's not the end of the world though
struct: also to count the pieces in the line
struct: ill use an array
struct: to get the line
Astrobytes: why?
struct: I dont know if there is any easier way
struct: how will I know how many pieces are in a line?
Astrobytes: You can bitboard that?
struct: hmm
struct: I dont know how
Astrobytes: What's so different from other bitboard games?
struct: for verticals its easy
struct: but for diagonals not so much
struct: because I would need masks
Astrobytes: Sure, not the end of the world is it?
Astrobytes: Rotations and flipping too
struct: no, but i dont know how to do that efficiently
struct: I guess ill try to make something work first :p
Astrobytes: It doesn't *always* have to be max speed 100% of the time, if you have a good bot ;)
Astrobytes: I know that's incompatible with the AVX-all-the-things-first and ask questions later approach but ... :P
Wontonimo: if you have a grid of 8x8=64, then left/right can be +1/-1,
Wontonimo: sorry left/right can be +8/-8, up/down can be +1/-1
Wontonimo: and diagonal can be +7/+9 -7/-9
Wontonimo: you had to do diagonal for C4
Astrobytes: Yeah, but we speak of doing these skipping moves etc with builtins and intrinsics
Astrobytes: *skipping-pieces-moves
Astrobytes: efficiently
struct: and the diagonals can be quite large
struct: for horizontal i can just do
struct: rank * mask
struct: to get all the bits there
Wontonimo: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/29b906cf-bbd4-4cf7-b7bf-790365d090e3
Astrobytes: hehehe
struct: for vertical file * mask
struct: but for diagonals that wont do it
Wontonimo: i haven't seen antisquid online for a while
struct: he was here yesterday I think
Wontonimo: cool. i need to increase my surveillance obviously
struct: :)
Goku_Drip: im new can anyone show me what to do
Goku_Drip: or what
Wontonimo: sure
Goku_Drip: hi
Wontonimo: have you tried any of the bot battles?
Goku_Drip: no
Wontonimo: the "tutorial" is https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/coders-strike-back
Wontonimo: and i can help you a bit on it
Wontonimo: or you could try the clash-of-code
Wontonimo: if smaller 5 min challenges are more your thing
Goku_Drip: whats clash of code
Wontonimo: it is a timed coding challenge with several ghosts and possibly other real life people. 5 to 15 min, smaller challenges
Wontonimo: https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/clashofcode
Goku_Drip: i dont know how to code tho
Wontonimo: ah
Goku_Drip: i just went to hents
Goku_Drip: hints*
Goku_Drip: then solution
Wontonimo: ah
Wontonimo: do you know about variables and if/else statements?
Wontonimo: loops?
Goku_Drip: ive hearn about those hello world
Goku_Drip: heard*
Goku_Drip: and som more
Wontonimo: ah.
Wontonimo: what language do you want to learn?
Goku_Drip: dont know i rlly dont want to learn any too hard
Wontonimo: they are all about the same
Wontonimo: they just have different abilities
Goku_Drip: its so hard to learn tho
Wontonimo: really?
Wontonimo: what do you think this code does
print("hi Goku_Drip")
Goku_Drip: yes
Goku_Drip: it
Goku_Drip: its like a text
Wontonimo: yeah, it prints hi to you
Wontonimo: okay, here is another example
x = 4
print( x )
Goku_Drip: thats not so hard
Wontonimo: what do you think this does?
Goku_Drip: i dont know
Wontonimo: it prints "4"
Wontonimo: take a look at this site
https://www.hackinscience.org/exercises/hello-world
Goku_Drip: why does it not say print("4")
Wontonimo: AH! good observation
Wontonimo: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/627e6939-5914-4424-a172-23ec7b1726ad
Wontonimo: let's say we have 2 numbers
Wontonimo: x = 4
Wontonimo: y = 7
Wontonimo: print( x + y )
Wontonimo: this will print 11 !
Wontonimo: hmm ... there is a great youtuber who teaches javascript and he has a LOT of intro to javascript videos
https://www.youtube.com/c/TheCodingTrain
Goku_Drip: um
Wontonimo: The Coding Train. Really good guy
Goku_Drip: how does x=4
Goku_Drip: oh nvm
Goku_Drip: so
Wontonimo: this site is more geared for people who have already been programming for a while, like at least 3 minths
Wontonimo: and know about arrays and functions
Goku_Drip: x=5
y=10
Print("x+y=11") like that???
Wontonimo: nope.
Wontonimo: like this
Wontonimo: x=5
Wontonimo: y=11
Wontonimo: print(x+y)
Wontonimo: and that will output 11
Goku_Drip: oh i see
Eden998: goku what you wrote will just print x+y+11 because you put it within " "
Eden998: its called string
Goku_Drip: ok
Wontonimo: :wave: Eden998
Eden998: hello :D
Wontonimo: to be clear, what I've been writing isn't any programming language in particular, but a mashup of several.
Goku_Drip: ive learned this so far
Goku_Drip: ("Hello World")
x=10
y=15
Print(x+y)
Wontonimo: hehe
Wontonimo: cool
Wontonimo: so, if this is your first experience in coding then I'd recommend looking at and following the tutorials that "The Coding Train" has
Goku_Drip: ok
Wontonimo: and if you find that a bit challenging and want something easier to start, then I'd recommend https://scratch.mit.edu/
Wontonimo: you can code games with it and get a visual feel for how if statements and loops work
Wontonimo: but, if you know some math (like algebra) and are willing to put in a little effort , then stick to learning javascript by watching the coding train
Wontonimo: THEN COME BACK HERE :D once you know about functions, and can call a function from a function and add data to arrays
Goku_Drip: ok
Wontonimo: good luck! come back anytime and chat
Wontonimo: about code
Goku_Drip: yah...
Goku_Drip: :(
Wontonimo: why sad?
Goku_Drip: ill text u
MosMotov: :disappointed:
Wontonimo: why you sad MosMotov?
Wontonimo: is it contagious ?
MosMotov: lol
Wontonimo: hey, you started coders strikes back MosMotov. Do you want some hints?
Wontonimo: hey Goku_Drip, you want to do coders strikes back?
Westicles: heh heh
Wontonimo: nope ... showed interest in private chat
Wontonimo: then i tried to move the conversation here, then .... nothing
struct: oh well
struct: You should create a playground Wontonimo
struct: for csb
struct: and then link it
Wontonimo: yeah, not the same
Thorcode: what's the different between enumerate and index
Astrobytes: Gotta change nick to WontoPlayCSB now Wontonimo
Westicles: They sad thing is, that game sorta sucks
struct: which games do you enjoy Westicles?
Astrobytes: optims
Westicles: yeah, optims are much more fun
Astrobytes: (forgive me for answering for you lol)
Westicles: once Illedan is done mining XP we can play snake
Astrobytes: lol, he's not mining
Astrobytes: He forgot
Astrobytes: +baby and FB
Thorcode: gosh the current puzzle of the week is hard
islander4059: Thorcode, enumerate generates a a pair of tuples(index, element). sometimes its preffered over range. an index points to the position of an element in an array.
Thorcode: uh thanks
Astrobytes: well you did ask earlier
Thorcode: when
Astrobytes:
Thorcode 01:11AM
what's the different between enumerate and index
Astrobytes: Care to question that?
Thorcode: 01:11AM
Thorcode: how i'm sleeping in that time
Astrobytes: It is CLEARLY at MY time
Thorcode: oh
Astrobytes: Would you like me to count the minutes back for you?
Astrobytes: Or can you manage that yourself?
Thorcode: really
Thorcode: you could count the minute?
Westicles: another 13yo gonna bite the dust
Astrobytes: I'm done with muppets for tonight
Astrobytes: Let them run free
Thorcode: print("LEFT" if x < wall_x:)\
Thorcode: could you guy fix my code plz
Thorcode: my code haven't got "/"
Westicles: I'll help if you look at my contrib
Thorcode: ok
Thorcode: I upvoted
Westicles: nice
Thorcode: and tested
Westicles: how about if(x<wall_x):print("LEFT")
struct: evil Westicles
Westicles: well, he didn't really upvote, but it's the thought that counts
Thorcode: I upvote for a long time ago
Thorcode: Just look at it
Westicles: you left a nice comment, that is more than enough
Thorcode: wish I could send you images
Armangh: hey do we talk about "i don't know why my code doesn't work" here? I'm new
Westicles: sure, but this site is mostly europeans who are asleep now
Armangh: lol its 2 am where i am but thats when any work happens xD
Armangh: i'm doing "The Descent" and i either don't get why my code doesn't work or misunderstanding what the puzzle asks for
struct: every turn you get the heights of each mountain
struct: you need to print the index of the highest
Armangh: right okay
Armangh: so its i don't know why my code doesn't work
Armangh: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/ca6bf824-6273-41ec-b40c-a73840453465
struct: where did you declare mountain_number and max?
Armangh: ah just before the while loop, set them both to 0
Armangh: sorry should've sent the whole main
Armangh: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/3d405d81-fa04-4dec-ba1b-b81fbbc81ccf
struct: reset max to 0
struct: before you output
struct: max = 0;
System.out.println(mountain_number); // The index of the mountain to fire on.
struct: because not all the code will get runed again
struct: only the part inside the while loop
Westicles: wow, he actually fixed it for you
Westicles: you can upvote my DAWG puzzle for payment
Armangh: max? why does it need to be set to 0?
Armangh: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/ee153280-fbe5-47c5-8991-cc93a3197f97
Armangh: like that?
struct: you deleted } from for loop
struct: but yes
Armangh: that doesn't fix it and i don't see how it would
struct: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/50d0f90d-5ee1-4002-adbb-508c0abcf477
Armangh: ye ye doesn't fix it
struct: ok
Armangh: oh wait no
Armangh: wtf it does
Armangh: ha
Armangh: how does this work
Armangh: why does max getting reset fix it
struct: so if you have array of
struct: [8,7,6,5]
struct: on first turn max = 8;
struct: after that no number will be higher than 8
struct: if you dont reset it
Armangh: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Armangh: but
Armangh: thats what you want
Armangh: because 8 is the highest
Armangh: i thought the puzzle basically gives you an array like (2,4,8,5,6) and you're meant to output (8)
