Mortis_666: oof
BlaiseEbuth: That's not valid clojure...
5DN1L: True == True gives True
5DN1L: True, True == True gives (True, True)

BlaiseEbuth: And never earned any cp before september 2021?
5DN1L: Honestly I can't remember when I did what :joy: One thing for sure, didn't do any clashes until last year
5DN1L: And I was not active for a long time in between
BlaiseEbuth: clashs :scream:
5DN1L: Real life got in the way
5DN1L: I don't like clashes. I do them just for the achievement
PATTRIM: u r still 146 place tho
5DN1L: whatever, let it slide after I got the achievement lol
BlaiseEbuth: Real life? Don't know that part of the site.
BlaiseEbuth: Seems boring

zoroarkmeister: i need help
zoroarkmeister: i dont know how to complete the race
5DN1L: Is it Mad Pod Racing?
zoroarkmeister: yes
zoroarkmeister: i am new
5DN1L: Which league are you in?
zoroarkmeister: lua
zoroarkmeister: i can change it if you want
5DN1L: Erm not the language
5DN1L: I mean league
5DN1L: Is it Wood 3?
zoroarkmeister: i am in thw first
zoroarkmeister: the
5DN1L: ok
zoroarkmeister: i just startet with ai
5DN1L: First you need to learn to where to find your league
5DN1L: It's in the top left corner
5DN1L: can you see it?
zoroarkmeister: no
zoroarkmeister: you mean mad pod racing
5DN1L: yes
zoroarkmeister: ok
5DN1L: next to the name
5DN1L: there's the league
zoroarkmeister: you mean my lvl
5DN1L: It should say something like "Mad Pod Racing Wood 3 League "
zoroarkmeister: not here
zoroarkmeister: it just says mad pot racing
Uljahn: i guess bot ai multiplayer games might be hard for a complete beginner
zoroarkmeister: oh
5DN1L: are you?
5DN1L: do you know the basics of Lua?
zoroarkmeister: yes i am a beginner is startet today
zoroarkmeister: no
____Z_X_C____: lol
5DN1L: Oh that's a problem
zoroarkmeister: ok
5DN1L: ____Z_X_C____ You've got messages in the forum about your puzzle
____Z_X_C____: o
5DN1L: zoroarkmeister If you don't know anything about Lua yet, you'd better learn it elsewhere, then come back to practise here
zoroarkmeister: so
zoroarkmeister: ok
zoroarkmeister: i already know how to make it move to the first checkpoint
5DN1L: :thumbsup:
5DN1L: hope to see you again
5DN1L: oh right?
zoroarkmeister: me to
5DN1L: You can of course continue to try here
zoroarkmeister: ok
5DN1L: but if you find it hard, better learn something elsewhere first
zoroarkmeister: is there something else
zoroarkmeister: in this wepsite
5DN1L: well, you can try: https://www.codingame.com/learn
zoroarkmeister: to learn lua
zoroarkmeister: ok
zoroarkmeister: i will try
5DN1L: but other than that part, most parts on the website require you have some basic knowledge of a language
zoroarkmeister: ok what now
zoroarkmeister: oh
zoroarkmeister: well we will see
5DN1L: Yes :)
zoroarkmeister: soo i am here now what do i do next
5DN1L: try to look for things of interest here: https://www.codingame.com/learn
5DN1L: and try out some puzzles if you want
zoroarkmeister: ok
5DN1L: you can learn and google along the way
zoroarkmeister: yes
5DN1L: if you find it too difficult, pick up the knowledge elsewhere first and come back here later
zoroarkmeister: ok
zoroarkmeister: wait
zoroarkmeister: i cant find puzzles for lua
zoroarkmeister: and there is no lua at the filters
5DN1L: oh...
5DN1L: didn't expect that :P
zoroarkmeister: ok
zoroarkmeister: then i will try more with the pod
5DN1L: yeah, or the puzzles here: https://www.codingame.com/training
zoroarkmeister: yes
Blabbage: Or try Python, shouldn't be too hard going from Lua
zoroarkmeister: ok
zoroarkmeister: hmm
nesnes112: Hi everyone
I want to write a javascript instruction which allows to replace each s (not followed by c) in a string by sc
this is what I wrote but it didn't work
nesnes112: let w=word.replace('s([^c])','sc');
Merfi: yes my friend, thats goodt. but just remember to be the change that you wish to see in the world
Almin5k: Hello nesnes just remember life isn’t finding shelter in the storm. It’s about learning to dance in the rain. Keep trying, and you will find a solution :muscle:
5DN1L: :rolling_eyes:
whateverxd: word.replace(/sc?/g,'sc')
nesnes112: whateverxd thank you i'll try it now
nesnes112: it's correct
nesnes112: thank you very much
whateverxd: ur wlc :thumbsup:
bmacho: when I'm online people follow me and invite me to clash
bmacho: even when i don't do anything
bmacho: where do they see that im online anyway
5DN1L: your profile
5DN1L: a green dot at the upper right corner
5DN1L: of your profile pic
bmacho: but where they see my pfp
5DN1L: in the chat
bmacho: no
bmacho: i dont write here
5DN1L: if they have followed you then they can get to see your profile easily too
Wontonimo: if you follow them then they can message you offline
Wontonimo: *message you when you are offline
5DN1L: anyway if you don't like to see clash invites, you can turn it off in your settings
bmacho: it's a mystery then
Wontonimo: if you don't want to see this chat , you can add ?disableChat to the end of the codingame url and it will remove this side chat
bmacho: yeah i turned off all the notifications
bmacho: wow!
bmacho: I'll try that too, thx
RomainBourel: hello it's my firs time on this website. I'm jr. I understand what we must do but don't know how take the argment and return the new
Wontonimo: which puzzle arer you working on?
RomainBourel: I'm on a clash (I think it wasn't good idea for first try)
RomainBourel: i used php
Wontonimo: the way this site works is that data is sent to your program via stdin
Wontonimo: and your program must respond with stdout
Wontonimo: try this puzzle
https://www.codingame.com/ide/puzzle/the-descent
Wontonimo: you can see that for PHP
RomainBourel: ok it's good first step I'll try thank you
Wontonimo: the data is read using fscanf(STDIN ...
Wontonimo: and the "answer" is sent via echo(" ...
nesnes112: hi
nesnes112: what is the equivalent of this python instruction in javascript
nesnes112: print(ans.center(n,a))
Wontonimo: i don't know what center does
nesnes112: center the display of the result
Wontonimo: what's n and a?
nesnes112: I wrote to you in private Wontonimo
BlaiseEbuth: :scream:
Wontonimo: scary, I know
Wontonimo: hey nesnes112, just ask your question here
Wontonimo: you've spent about 5 min asking me in private chat if you can ask me. just ask. don't ask to ask
nesnes112: ok
jacek: but what if he cant
Wontonimo: I think that is actually the problem, he doesn't know how to ask
jacek: https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_string_center.asp assuming ans is string
Wontonimo: he wants to start a video call and walk through his whole operation
nesnes112: which javascript instruction equivalent to this python instruction
jacek: and in javascipt probably there would be something like padStart and padEnd
nesnes112: print(x.center(n,a))
jacek: but i dunno javascript, just quickly googled this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55890994/string-pad-center-using-javascript
nesnes112: n=number of lines
Wontonimo: n = number of characters
Wontonimo: a = character to use as filler (defaults to " ")
nesnes112: a=character
BlaiseEbuth: jacek: You probably should make a video call with him to show him how to use google.
nesnes112: Blaise
nesnes112: thank you
nesnes112: x=character
jacek: oO
BlaiseEbuth: https://www.letmegooglethat.com/?q=javascript+string+pad+center
nesnes112: BlaiseEbuth stop
nesnes112: i don't need your help
icecream17: what happened to "no programmer should have to wait"
BlaiseEbuth: I'm not helping you. I'm trying to make you understand (with a lot of subtlety) that you can search by your own. :rolling_eyes:
Wontonimo: nesnes112 , although BlaiseEbuth is being very cheeky , it's helpful. He's a funny one. Don't take it badly please.
icecream17: Also what's the difference between https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/atari-go and https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/atari-go-9x9
BlaiseEbuth: -9x9
Mrs.GloriaZindlebocker: Many people in these weirdo countries don't know how to google. Like 90% of them think FB is the internet
Wontonimo: one is 9x9, one is not ?
icecream17: Oh the preview on the non-9x9 one shows a 9x9 board so i got confused
icecream17: In fact wood 4 is also 9x9?
jacek: one is always 9x9, the other is 9x9 13x13 and 19x19
Wontonimo: i haven't dug into either. use NN with killermove
jacek: one bot will work in both if you didnt hardcode the size
icecream17: ok
jacek: NN with killer move?
BlaiseEbuth: A terminator
jacek: sounds something what Automaton2000 would say
icecream17: my strategy for 9x9 was just 180deg copy
jacek: oh
Automaton2000: i need to catch up on
icecream17: it got to wood 3 somehow
icecream17: Wow, someone beat me by taking a stone on move 200
Wontonimo: add in to avoid placing on the outside for the first 1/3rd of the game
Wontonimo: copy 180 if not on outside, else place randomly
Drex19: It look pretty easy
Wontonimo: Atari Go looks easy Drex19 ?
Drex19: i don't think so
ReetFun: Does someone has a good tutorial to create an application with Kotlin or Java ?
D.Bruce: Would anyone be able to help me with the Power of Thor - Episode 1 in JS?
5DN1L: D.Bruce what have you got so far?
D.Bruce: Well I can get Thor to move in a stright line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. My issue is when the light isn't on a straight diagonal he doesn't turn, or stop moving once the X or Y axis' are equal to each other.
5DN1L: Sounds like you have to handle x and y variables separately
D.Bruce: Thats what I am doing. I'm not sure if its the most optimal way to do it, but I have two nested if statements, one for Y and one for X. I can send what I have so far.
5DN1L: ok
TeslaRam: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/dceb290f-b177-4a65-8b3a-7d0b64920283
D.Bruce: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/45adcc2b-c374-44cd-a199-046c7115a1ba
Manchi_o6o7: Is someone having time to help me with some OOP questions on discord
5DN1L: TeslaRam I think so. Not sure, but you may have to guide him to get through the initial onboarding puzzle though
TeslaRam: thank you
5DN1L: Manchi_o6o7 ask on discord directly
Manchi_o6o7: In which room?
5DN1L: help-solve-anything
Manchi_o6o7: thanks, will do it right now
5DN1L: D.Bruce are you still there?
D.Bruce: Yea!
5DN1L: Great
D.Bruce: I just started a bootcamp a couple weeks ago and was told to check out this site
5DN1L: I think your last "else if" in each of the if statements are wrongly placed
5DN1L: though that shouldn't affect much
D.Bruce: I felt like I wouldn't need them at all since the parent if statement wouldn't allow it to run if they were equal.
5DN1L: exactly
5DN1L: also
5DN1L: there's thorX -+ 1
5DN1L: typo there
D.Bruce: Thank you for catching that. I didnt even realize it
5DN1L: does that fix the issue?
D.Bruce: It just seems to set him on a path and does't really update with the while loop. Thats why I tried to create a variable for his X and Y location so I can update it and run the if's off of his current location.
D.Bruce: No it didnt help the indirect angles
5DN1L: and oh
5DN1L: you've let thorX = initialTx
bmacho: anyone smart here and bored :eyes:
5DN1L: and let thorY = initialTy
5DN1L: in every single while loop
5DN1L: you're resetting it every time!
D.Bruce: YES! Okay, so hopefully its just a scope issue!
D.Bruce: Yep, that was my issue! Thank you very much! I didn't understand why it didn't seem to be updated, but that is exactly why.
5DN1L: Good!
5DN1L: Try learning debugging techniques
5DN1L: Print variables to error stream
5DN1L: this may help you too
D.Bruce: As in console.log(error)?
5DN1L: console.error('Debug messages...');
PrivateJelly_96ae: hi, has anyone here got 100% on 'The Lucky Number' challenge with java?
PrivateJelly_96ae: i pass all the test cases when i run my code in the ide
5DN1L: D.Bruce console.log is for outputting answers, console.error is for debugging
D.Bruce: Okay, i will look into this more! Thank you again for your help!
5DN1L: :)
PrivateJelly_96ae: but when i submit it i pass all the hidden test cases apart from test case 3
PrivateJelly_96ae: can't seem to work out what's causing the issue
5DN1L: oh it's almost the same numbers as the corresponding revealed test case
5DN1L: try testing your code with 3628+/- a small number
5DN1L: PrivateJelly_96ae
PrivateJelly_96ae: thank you, I'll give it a shot
5DN1L: :thumbsup:
PrivateJelly_96ae: got it
PrivateJelly_96ae: :)
PrivateJelly_96ae: thank you, been working on it for days loool
5DN1L: Great :D
5DN1L: Yeah it's a difficult puzzle
bmacho: i've got that for a code interview, and I failed it
5DN1L: Are you going to solve it here?
bmacho: i solved it after
5DN1L: nice
bmacho: i definitely should have done it in an hour :)
bmacho: but thx
bmacho: BTW do you think that the skynet-2 is solvable in polynomial time?
bmacho: it's a general game, and games don't tend to be solvable.
Except if there is something to exploit in the rules, but I don't think so
5DN1L: I don't major in programming and I haven't learned the concept of polynomial time well, so... can't really answer your question, sorry
bmacho: :D
bmacho: I see
Wontonimo: polynomial time is HUGE. why do you think it wouldn't be solvable in polynomial time?
bmacho: bc it's a total random 2 player game, which generally aren't even in NP
bmacho: if it's solvable, there must be something exploitable in the rules
bmacho: but I don't think there is anything
bmacho: some people claiming this in the problem forum, and the official solution explanation ( as far as I understand it ) is faulty, as well every claimed solution I've seen
bmacho: pass the tests, but not working on other inputs
XnbX: can someone help me

nabaztag: Hi, i need a little help to understand a function of this code: https://tech.io/snippet/LiWPxTS
Exactly this: uint16_t randomBit(uint16_t availableMoves) { // to get a random move
return __builtin_ctzl(__builtin_ia32_pdep_si(1UL << (rand() % __builtin_popcountl(availableMoves)), availableMoves));
}
nabaztag: (i dev in java ...)
Leeeooo: What is this shit ?
Outsmarted: i've got unbanned
Outsmarted: :)
Leeeooo: LET'S GOOOO !!!!! :)
Outsmarted: tah le muscle orthonormé
Leeeooo: Je parle français le fou
5DN1L: English only please
Leeeooo: oups sorry bro !
struct: nabaztag which part dont you understand?
nabaztag: this function __builtin_ia32_pdep_si
struct: https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/pdep
struct: basicly it will return the nth bit set at the mask
struct: but not the index but it will return an int with only that bit set
struct: _pdep_u32(2, 0b110001) returns 16
struct: because the 2nd bit set is at bit index 4
struct: so pdep would return 0b10000
struct: which equals 16
struct: the __builtin_ctzl returns the bit index
struct: so it would return 4 in this example
nabaztag: _pdep_u32(0b000001000, 0b011101010) return 0b001000000 ?
struct: no
struct: 0b000001000 == 8
struct: that would return the 8th bit set
Leeeooo: WHAT DID THIS CLASH ???
nabaztag: é_è so return 0b000000000 (0) ? :D
struct: wait i explained poorly I think
struct: _pdep_u32(0b110, 0b110001)
struct: return 48
jacek: is this smits code?
struct: because it will ignore the 1st bit set, and then get the 2nd bit set and 3rd bit set
struct: so it would return 0b110000
struct: so yes what you said was right
struct: that example you showed would return 0b1000000
justchris: does anyone know what is required to gain a skill in the profile "Skills" section?
struct: When you solve a puzzle
struct: you need to check a checkbox or something
icecream17: its under (inside a puzzle) Results -> what you learned
justchris: I see, thanks!
Mrs.GloriaZindlebocker: wow, Lanfeust has solved every puzzle now
struct: even freecell?
Mrs.GloriaZindlebocker: yep
Leeeooo: Why do I always win ?
Outsmarted: Why am i born that strong

luis.fernandezm: Hi everyone! I have been practicing my js frontend skills for a couple of months but all of that I just been learning and watching videos, almost nothing about practicing. I havent been able to solve any of the clash of code that i have played. Any advice of how to practice or any website that could help? Thanks everyone
5DN1L: What do you mean by not being able to solve any clash of code?
luis.fernandezm: I havent been able to solve the problems of the games. I have a few ideas of howe to solve it but I ended up with nothing
5DN1L: Is it just an issue of speed?
ninjadip: try the regular puzzles first
luis.fernandezm: Kind of, It takes me a lot of time
5DN1L: You may try the non-timed puzzles first
5DN1L: https://www.codingame.com/training
ninjadip: yea
luis.fernandezm: Also I have some idea of how to solve it but it takes me time to take it to code
luis.fernandezm: Thanks man! I'll give it a try!
5DN1L: :)
jacek: try power of thor, the descent and temperatures first

JulienBrouille: man for 99% of all clash of code python looks too easy
JulienBrouille: they finish so fast
Remus_: that's what she said
oh
JulienBrouille: hahahahaha
jacek: oO
JulienBrouille: to win a shortest clash do you need to write to smallest code^
5DN1L: not necessarily
jacek: yes
jacek: smallest, working code :v
VizGhar: most correct is first measure :P
5DN1L: yes ^
ninjadip: i think i have the smallest code because i'm the only one with 100%
ninjadip: just have to wait it out...
JulienBrouille: i just want the next thing in the tree
JulienBrouille: but you need 3 win in shortest
JulienBrouille: and i'm using kotlin which make code size to the roof
VizGhar: :) time to switch language
VizGhar: You have like 15 minutes to google... I switched from kotlin to ruby for shortest mode and searched like mad man. Not that hard
VizGhar: Or find some harded clash and be the only one who solves it
VizGhar: 5DN1L you look like veteran here. Haven't seen you here about year back when I was most active
5DN1L: i wasn't active when you were most active then :joy:
VizGhar: makes sense :D
5DN1L: :D
jacek: oh my
VizGhar: How much coding point is for the multiplayer contribution?
5DN1L: coding points? you mean xp?
VizGhar: ah yes sry
5DN1L: https://www.codingame.com/playgrounds/40701/help-center/creating-your-own-puzzle
5DN1L: I don't know if there's a difference between regular puzzles and multiplayer puzzles
VizGhar: i think not... thats why there are so many CoC contributions... very little effort necessary
jacek: contributions are part of the quest tree
5DN1L: i'm not going to finish that route, so i don't know what the second last quest is :P
VizGhar: "Get your contribution approved"
5DN1L: ah i see
5DN1L: no distinguishing between regular and multiplayer puzzles after all
5DN1L: even in the quest tree
ninjadip: trying to decide next bot thing to do after my first one:mad pod racing
5DN1L: thanks VizGhar
VizGhar: :thumbsup:
ninjadip: any suggestions
VizGhar: not yet ninjadip where are you currently?
ninjadip: VizGhar just got to gold level in the racing and i'm kind of done with it now. looking for my next bot puzzle that might be half as fun as it was when I started the racing one
ninjadip: I got the code4life one up in front of me now, reading it
5DN1L: yeah that game has a very different style
5DN1L: it depends on what you like playing/improving really
VizGhar: ah you are gold already? time to do some optimizations then... you can find most sense in trying Genetic Algorithms (probably best choice) or you can simplify search space and use BFS maybe?
ninjadip: i know i need to get better/faster at parsing
VizGhar: parsing what?
ninjadip: strings
ninjadip: some people do it so fast on the clashing
jacek: solve various puzzles
VizGhar: ah... clashing :D you are changing topic like my wife :D
ninjadip: I remember once semi-mastering regex in this one class, but when I went back to it I forgot lol
VizGhar: you wont need regex most of the time while clashing... what language u use for clashes?
5DN1L: strings and regex https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/optimization/code-of-the-rings
ninjadip: I didn't bring up what I need to improve on, 5Dnl asked
ninjadip: oh cool, funny name
5DN1L: but it's not a bot game
5DN1L: parsers though
ninjadip: oh this looks cool
VizGhar: uf... I wouldn't recommend that one :D that was pure frustration
5DN1L: lol
5DN1L: depends on the objective i think
ninjadip: well this will be good for me, reminds me of when I used typing programs that were trying to be fun
ninjadip: this is funny
jacek: Automaton2000 are you fun
Automaton2000: it's not really a good place to learn programming
5DN1L: Oh Automaton2000 you betray CG!
Automaton2000: or i could just do a random rollout
ninjadip: the old random roll-up...classic
5DN1L: the chat bot picks up our lines in the chat like a parrot
jacek: if you get a parrot and teach it to say 'parrot, parrot', youll get your own pokemon!
5DN1L: lol
VizGhar: :D
VizGhar: At least he is not trying to overthrow entire civilization or does he? Automaton2000
Automaton2000: then it's just a matter of time
VizGhar: o.O
5DN1L: wow
VizGhar: it... makes sense?
5DN1L: I hope not
jacek: Automaton2000 whats is the best game on CG
Automaton2000: madknight i dont get the same effect
VizGhar: meh... he's back as we know him
Jojo_lasticot: Good evening
I can't find a challenge how to do it?
ninjadip: a what
USSRpumpkin: Some of the challenges are based on chance right?
ninjadip: i haven't seen that yet
ninjadip: but i'm new
USSRpumpkin: Oh ok
USSRpumpkin: Ive been signed up for like a month or two now
ninjadip: cool
USSRpumpkin: Shadows of the knight - episode 1
USSRpumpkin: try it
ninjadip: ok
USSRpumpkin: Im gonna try it too
USSRpumpkin: Its very hard
USSRpumpkin: I think Ima do something else
USSRpumpkin: Im actually gonna go sorry
USSRpumpkin: see you maybe
ninjadip: yay i just finished brain fork
ninjadip: pretty cool
justchris: congratz!
ninjadip: i was hoping i could test it's speed to others on a leaderboard... i put in this extra logic to be fast
justchris: I'm not sure but i think it's just least amount of actions
ninjadip: yeah that's how i had it
justchris: https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/optimization/code-of-the-rings/leaderboard
justchris: its not this leaderboard?
ninjadip: yeah but it says the leaderboard for that game isn't about speed, but shortest code
justchris: I see
Astrobytes: "Brain Fork" :rofl: such a creative name change
ninjadip: what games are u playing
justchris: right now im doing the puzzle Catching Up
justchris: I'm also addicted to Clash of Code
justchris: avoiding the acronym there
AmineACH51: Hello
justchris: I struggle with my Coders Strikes Back bot too
AmineACH51: I have a crush in a girl
AmineACH51: She married
AmineACH51: Another guy
justchris: try turning it in to a coding challenge, maybe that helps
justchris: how about u ninjadip, whats your flavour?
ninjadip: c++
justchris: cool, what games?
ninjadip: right now i jus started the "codingame sponsored contest" it only tells you how much input you are getting, nothing at what to do with it then output options
ninjadip: well reverse engineering
ninjadip: i got to gold in mad pod racing, i loved it. but i need a break
justchris: do you use a simulation?
ninjadip: what do u mean
justchris: like simulating x turns ahead to get the best thrust + direction?
ninjadip: oh
ninjadip: no i just based it off hard math
ninjadip: to calculate for drift
justchris: damn, i tried that but i can only reach mid bronze
ninjadip: no guessing
ninjadip: i had to calculate my own velocity and learn all the checkpoints to steer to the next checkpoint before we cross the current one. all to go from silver to gold
ninjadip: silver to gold is the hardest jump
ninjadip: what is the strategy in bronze? what variables do they give you?
justchris: i did a checkpoint manager class but it only affects thrust now, so if angle to next checkpoint is too narrow it slows down
justchris: you get opponent position, next checkpoint, angle
ninjadip: if you have a checkpoint class that is keeping track of the cordinates, then you should use it
justchris: yea i was thinking about that but i didnt think it would help that much
ninjadip: like if my
ninjadip: distance_to_checkpoint<900 then steer to next one because your momentum will take you in the rest of the way
ninjadip: but there's more to that logic to make sure you don't spin in circles lol
justchris: do you disable thrust until you reach that checkpoint?
justchris: i see
ninjadip: at first i used brakes. then i took them all out and won races left and right
justchris: cool
ninjadip: i had a slowdown to approach checkpoint thing going on
ninjadip: but the only time i eventually disabled thrust was per the angle being to oblique
justchris: yeah makes sense
justchris: im trying to build a simulator in c++ and train a NN on it
ninjadip: like the best advice is that, instead of slowing down to a checkpoint because your drift is too wild, account for the drift by aiming to the opposite direction of the checkpoint so you can come in on full speed
justchris: but i got a long way to go, im a rookie at c++, better at javascript
ninjadip: i love c++, i need to switch it up more though
justchris: yeah thanks, appreciated. that is probably the fastest way to gold for me at the moment
ninjadip: yeah get that and like a proximity to activate shields and steer ahead for laps 2 and 3 after you learn the checkpoints and you'll fly
justchris: thinking about the shields gives me anxiety lol
ninjadip: its the shield attacking when you get two ships that should give you anxiety lol
justchris: xD maybe one day my brain will be adapted to that kind of stuff
Thorcode: orr better for mad (iff below gold), use velocity
justchris: i dont get how i should use that, i saw it mentioned in a couple of places
ninjadip: what? velocity?
justchris: is it some kind of target offset?
ninjadip: yes, for the drift. that's what i said earlier. that's the most important
Thorcode: ah yeah ninja got gold
ninjadip: speed_x= new_x-old_x; target_x-=speed_x;
ninjadip: that's it
Thorcode: acctually you don't need drift until gold
ninjadip: that's bs, it's simple code, three lines
ninjadip: that drift will get you right to gold
Thorcode: you neeed to explain him abit about new_x
ninjadip: they don't give you the speed variables until gold.. but you can easily calculate them yourself
Thorcode: and how could he apply it
ninjadip: like have a variable that stores the value of your current x before your new input so you can compare
justchris: i did a custom checkpoint handler class that stores all checkpoints after first lap
ninjadip: that's your speed, the difference from one cordinate to the other
justchris: yeah im with you that far
ninjadip: the checkpoint thing you really don't need to get to gold
ninjadip: just the drift
Thorcode: so you got your first oldx=0,oldy=0(this is out of the while true)
ninjadip: yes
Thorcode: then apply ninja form
Thorcode: after that
ninjadip: then right at the end of the while loop put oldx=newx and oldy=newy
Thorcode: print(velX,velY)
ninjadip: then on your new input from next loop you can calculate the difference
ninjadip: you say if i'm going this fast in one direction but i'm aiming over here, then this will calculate where you SHould be aiming to account for drifting at full speed and still hitting your target
ninjadip: if it helps use cerr to output your variables to the console to check if they are what you think they should be
justchris: are we only talking about the x and y of my pod?
ninjadip: yeah
justchris: dont i need to put the target checkpoint x and y in there somehow?
ninjadip: yes
ninjadip: so target= checkpointx -speedx
ninjadip: or something like that, depends on how you calculate your velocit
justchris: ok i will try that
justchris: thanks
ninjadip: does that make sense
justchris: i think so
ninjadip: if you get that down you will kick some butt
justchris: i read some guide about it and i really couldnt understand that
ninjadip: yeah same here
justchris: spent maybe 10 hours on it
ninjadip: i glanced at and it wasn't what i needed
ninjadip: oh
ninjadip: having classes for your ship data and oop code to do the logic instead of all in main, it will help when you get two ships in gold
