Wontonimo: no and no (imho)
RandomAustralian: ihdaioshdioashdas
RandomAustralian: I never see a ruby person in the time based ones
RandomAustralian: yet as soon as it is a codesize based one
RandomAustralian: They mAGICALLY APPEAR
RandomAustralian: AND WRITE A CODE SMALLER
SeanDaSheep: LOL
Codeab: afternoon Wontonimo!
Wontonimo: hey Codeab
eulerscheZahl: good morning
Wontonimo: :wave: :coffee:
ZXC01: wow
ZXC01: you are second!!!
eulerscheZahl: yes, trictrac got me in the end
Codeab: sad
Codeab: common eulerscheZahl beat trictrac
ZXC01: in what game??
Wontonimo: overall
ZXC01: oh
eulerscheZahl: i still have some games that I haven't even started. just low motivation
Codeab: lol
ZXC01: wow
eulerscheZahl: 20 games already, they are getting more :scream:
Wontonimo: lol indeed. "just low motivation" - says 2nd place out of 1 million ranks
ZXC01: are you in legend in most games?
eulerscheZahl: there is no legend league without me
ZXC01: lol
eulerscheZahl: i used to be motivated. but at some point (especially the board games) it just feels repetitive to me
Wontonimo: yeah, i echo that. you have way more staying power than I have.
Wontonimo: i have been enjoying helping new coders though even though I haven't really done any new multis myself
Wontonimo: I haven't followed Marchette's tutorial on how to make a NN in CG. That's still shiny and interesting
eulerscheZahl: same, i should really read it
eulerscheZahl: the helping of noobies is another repetitive thing. help one to understand that thor doesn't update the position or how the CSB angle works. within less than a week you can do the same again
eulerscheZahl: i used to be active on a German comp sci forum and answer questions. that has a bit wider range but also got boring
Wontonimo: it isn't like stackoverflow where the answer is there to stay and be shared
rizonbro: uljan
Wontonimo: so, yeah, it repeats
Wontonimo: i try to spice it up by not giving the same answer each time
rizonbro: banned him if he here bannde him ok team works
Wontonimo: what?
Codeab: wontonimo im new help me ! :)
Wontonimo: yeah, i'm up for it. what would you like help on ?
Wontonimo: are you looking for a puzzle? I could suggest one
Codeab: i was kidding lol were u sarcastic or wat
Codeab: ooooh wat puzzle
Wontonimo: haha ... sorry man. just checked your rank Codeab
Wontonimo: you are working on ultimate tic tac toe right
Codeab: erm ya i dont like it :P
Wontonimo: why don't you like it?
Wontonimo: you are very near the top of silver
Wontonimo: crickets ...
Wontonimo: :cricket:
cipwns: Can you debug code here?
Wontonimo: yes
Wontonimo: add debug messages
Wontonimo: add micro tests
ZXC01: the ones in green
Wontonimo: use 'asserts'
ZXC01: to debug:.......
cipwns: I was doing micro tests and debug messages already :) Just that it's annoying sometimes
jacek: happy Caturday
humanbeethoven: Hi
humanbeethoven: what is going on
H00n: hey, time to work on my Code Royale bot :>
H00n: stuck on place 4... so close yet so far
MeNinjaHEEheehawpaw: Hi
BadBob: how is this fun, but somehow it is
king_akshat: hiii
DialFrost: *when u struggle with the easiest puzzle "Temperatures" :|*
jacek: oO
H00n: don't sweat it, take some time off and think about something else. Come back at the puzzle at a later point and you might have a better time. Helps for me
DialFrost: :| still cant
PATTRIM: LOL
Moctrof: Anybody hiring remote .NET dev ?
Prabah: ha ha
Prabah: me too looking for freelaunce projects
giaco: there are other syte as this one?
eulerscheZahl: there is codeingame.com and codinggame.com if that's what you mean
jacek: i dont think there are other sites with clashes and escapes like this one
eulerscheZahl: isn't codewars about clashing too?
eulerscheZahl: or codecombat?
eulerscheZahl: i forgot
jacek: :upside_down:
AntiSquid: how was reply challenge this year, euler
Jasmineker: hello world
eulerscheZahl: reply was fun overall. the coding was easier than last year IMO. we managed to solve all 5 tasks there
eulerscheZahl: for the rest i was mostly clueless, dready got 2 binary tasks at least
eulerscheZahl: for coding you had some kind of jigsaw puzzle: lots of pieces each defined by 4 numbers (the edge shape). all edges were unique, which made solving it pretty easy
eulerscheZahl: then a rubik cube solving task
eulerscheZahl: and something with captchas. i did them manually as did the top teams who wrote post mortems
AntiSquid: :thumbsup:
gb26: prev
Westicles: two approvals in french for my drug puzzle. this is a new age of harmony and peace
BlaiseVonEbuthIV: A swiss...
Westicles: we are all brothers
Wontonimo: siblings
Wontonimo: or sisters
BlaiseVonEbuthIV: Humans these days...
Wontonimo: mammals
Resizt: Guys, I have an interview assessment coming up soon and I'm really stressed out about it
GamingGnawer: do you know anything about what they'll have you do?
Resizt: Just learning about this site and seeing how things are approached from a whole unique side of things, what is a way i can be more familar with this stuff in a day?
Resizt: yea, its a codingame assessment @GamingGnawer
eulerscheZahl: do some easy/medium puzzles to understand the platform
Resizt: its 2 hours in total but seeing these clash of code reverse mode, and crazy algorithms I'm 2nd guessing really hard
Resizt: @eulerscheZahl thank you, that make a lot of sense
Roby5791: Who is the first in rank ? (1/2...)
Roby5791: hii
eulerscheZahl: Resizt also have a look at https://www.codingame.com/work/offers/screening/?cg_referrer=%24direct
eulerscheZahl: that explains the process from a recruiters point of view but also contains some screenshots of what you will get to see
Resizt: wow, they can flag your thing for cheating? how does that happen? I wanna avoid that
Resizt: i have so much background stuff running, idk if that would interfere with the test
eulerscheZahl: i don't know, just some guessing: repeatedly tabbing away while you do research on the web and copy-pasting code
eulerscheZahl: at least that's what i can think of, that's possible for a website to track
eulerscheZahl: you could also search your company on a website like glassdoor. some candidates describe the hiring process
Resizt: thank you very much
jacek: oh my
vaeng: is Jian-Yang the most often picked profile pic?
Dren: lol this is the first time I've passed all the tests and they give me a 20% after submit
jacek: oO
Dren: it was reverse too
Dren: how am I supposed to figure out a pattern in reverse if the test cases mean nothing lol
jacek: generalize more :v
Westicles: which puzzle is it?
idk.man: yo
Dren: you get a string and have to map fibo sequence onto it
Dren: so
in: abcdefgh
out: aabceh
Westicles: this one?
Westicles: https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/48226e1de9ad86ac7b862e3f8dcac1f863b9
Dren: yeah how did you find it
Westicles: I searched for aabceh here: https://eulerschezahl.herokuapp.com/codingame/puzzles/
jacek: plot twist: he made it
Dren: welp with that 20% I was still second xD
Westicles: you can give bad feedback. if it gets enough it will be auto-removed
GER-NaN: For Crystal Rush game, is there a method to detect enemy traps?
jacek: nope, just educated guess
3141948: Detect suspicious enemy's activity
Wontonimo: Resizt :wave: welcome to the platform !
surgutti: hi, how is the checkpoint reaching in csb calculated. is it point point distance after each round or point line in between the collision simulation?
Uljahn: the latter, it's a ray-circle intersection
Wontonimo: I just made a new puzzle. Feels good. Took it from an old SO answer I gave regarding DFS and turned it into BFS for CG.
Wontonimo: I rated it as "Difficulty: Medium" because it is a DFS problem. That feels like a medium to me. Certainly harder than "The Descent"
Wontonimo: if anyone here has any rules-of-thumb for difficulty level easy-vs-medium, please let me know
Wontonimo: mine is : if/else and possible a loop is 'easy'. Recursion, DFS, BFS, Minimax is 'medium'. Tricky or mathy stuff with multiple steps is 'hard' or 'very hard'
darkhorse64: looks sensible
Mr.Presqu: hi
Wontonimo: hey Mr.Presqu, what are you working on?
Mr.Presqu: I'm on the CodinGame Sponsored
Mr.Presqu: Reverse
Wontonimo: oh nice
Mr.Presqu: Hello Wontonimo
Mr.Presqu: yes it is
Wontonimo: without posting any spoilers, how's it going on the reverse game?
Mr.Presqu: Its quite ok,
Mr.Presqu: but
Mr.Presqu: :)
Mr.Presqu: one of the "submit" cases fails,
Wontonimo: weird
Mr.Presqu: I dont really understand how I can debug these
Wontonimo: you are talkking about this one right https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/optimization/codingame-sponsored-contest
Mr.Presqu: yes indeed
Mr.Presqu: others have gotten 100% with python so I know its my doing
Wontonimo: did you look at the hints on the left hand side (the light bulb that has the word "hint" under it)
Mr.Presqu: hmmmm
Wontonimo: it kinda spoils it a bit
Wontonimo: but if you are really really stuck they are great hints
Mr.Presqu: I mean, all of my IDE tests pass
Mr.Presqu: ill check the hint thing
Wontonimo: it's not really about passing the test cases, it is about maximizing your score
Wontonimo: a higher score means you *probably* understand the puzzle more
Mr.Presqu: yes, was gonna say
Mr.Presqu: I don't do gaming code
Mr.Presqu: so I know-ish how to return proper values
Mr.Presqu: but I have no idea of what it implements :)
Mr.Presqu: ok the hints do help
Wontonimo: have you figured out what the initial input means and what the input per round means (don't post if you know, no spoilers plz)
Mr.Presqu: Thankyou Wontonimo
Wontonimo: no
Wontonimo: np
jacek: you cant fail the sponsored puzzle, can you
Wontonimo: i used a LOT of printing to stderr
jacek: a languages achievements fest
Wontonimo: haha , never thought of that
Wontonimo: that's cheese
struct: hi
Wontonimo: :wave:
ZXC01: hi
ZXC01: could you help me with legends of code and magic?
Nickkname: I feel like there are not many real ppl playing codingame
Nickkname: Lots of them are bots
burger4d: yes
Nickkname: .....
Nickkname: I thought you are bot
renanMX255: hello world
C26_1: Can I ask something
SmartnessSDA: pffff classic programmer
C26_1: What is this kind of method?
Nickkname: You appear in every single of my clash and leave without completing the code or get 100% right way lol
Nickkname: @burger4d
Nickkname: Are you an admin?
C26_1: I don't have a keyword to search them so I'm gonna ask in here
C26_1: @Nickkname
C26_1: Can you help me
Nickkname: Sure ask
Nickkname: Hope I can answer
C26_1: def Password(text): http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/f6cef76f-ed24-4fe5-a9ed-6edea43866a3
Dren: I hate that CoC doesn't let you work on the code after the time is up
C26_1: This is the code to make a text to a number, only lowercase letter. I left this as an exercise for all you guys to find a reverse function of that
Nickkname: Well, first you need to identify if it is reverseable
C26_1: yea
Nickkname: Is it?
C26_1: idk if in programming language there is a way to know if a function is reversable
C26_1: I'm gonna search
C26_1: Sadly enough, there's no anwser
Jerrasterix: you could crack it but will have numerous results
C26_1: yea
Jerrasterix: Its a really good hashing algo, you have found i guess
C26_1: yea
C26_1: @Jerrasterix
C26_1: Can I say something to you
C26_1: I mean you say that my algo is very good but is there a standard table about how a character trranslate to a number
C26_1: Somethings like ASCII table
C26_1: Or Unicode table if you can
NijeByteNo: Hi , I am Okay
Thorcode: what do assert_equals() do? after a while reading I do not understand about that function
NijeByteNo: yes
Nickkname: I just came out a way to identify if your method is reversible @C26_1
C26_1: ok
C26_1: @Nickkname, I'm so proud of you
C26_1: Your googling search is better than me
Nickkname: A true hash function is not reversible if we know sha_256 is reversible, then there will be a way to make sure sha_256 is reversible
Nickkname: Just find that way and apply the same thing to your function
C26_1: ok
NijeByteNo: if you want to win, you musn't loose
Nickkname: The secret of not dying is being alive lol
NijeByteNo: Hard statement
NijeByteNo: I beleive there is never an end
SeanDaSheep: LOL
