ninjadip: have you already done WFC struct
ASM_MOV_INT: wave function collapse? is there a puzzle for that on here... um, cool!
ninjadip: yeah, Wontonimo made it
ninjadip: cool name
ASM_MOV_INT: where is it at?
ASM_MOV_INT: please
ninjadip: used to love me some int 13h, or int 0x13
ASM_MOV_INT: rofl
ninjadip: ASM_MOV_INT
ninjadip: for me it was int 13h, in inline ASM in turbo pascal, to call up the famous 320x240 graphic mode for DOS
ninjadip: pretty sure it was 13 hex...
ninjadip: lol
ASM_MOV_INT: whenever my apple iic would crash I would end up getting a brute force intro to machine language and assembly...
ninjadip: oh yeah, i started programming on a apple iiG
ASM_MOV_INT: found it... classic hard....
ninjadip: i know about those crashes
ninjadip: crazy
ASM_MOV_INT: awesome! rofl
ASM_MOV_INT: ctrl-reset
ninjadip: for some reason they put a gui on the slowest computer in the world..
ninjadip: lol
ninjadip: and decided to have BASIC as the backbone?? i didn't get it
ninjadip: was that what was going on?
ASM_MOV_INT: i never saw a iig
ninjadip: one very, very, interesting fact about the Apple IIg was that it had the same exact processor as the SNES! so they used the Apple IIgs for development at a lot of game developers that didn't want to buy the excclusive Nintendo dev kit
ninjadip: oh
ASM_MOV_INT: interesting
ninjadip: It was in color, had a GUI, a very slow, very slow gui
ninjadip: but they were windows that could move and be resized
ninjadip: so it was multi-tasking
ninjadip: you could have a few things running
ninjadip: and it wasn't any slower, lol
ASM_MOV_INT: oh yeah, .... shoot, I guess the apple iic did have an interpreted BASIC environment on startup
ASM_MOV_INT: ProDOS...was officially the name of the OS according to wikipedia
ninjadip: i just remember whenever i would crash inside of the Pascal compiler i would end up inside of some weird BASIC shell that I didn't understand at the time
ASM_MOV_INT: that wasn't even my first computer
ninjadip: it took like a minute to compile a hello world program
ninjadip: so imagine when it gets more complex
ninjadip: that was my first computer science class
ASM_MOV_INT: lol, I didn't actually take computers at school... since I grew up with one... until typing was required in high school, but I caught on to typing without looking pretty quick
ninjadip: i got forced with a ruler
ninjadip: no, it wasn't that bad
ninjadip: but i had a computer at home too, but i was a pecker, until that typing class
ASM_MOV_INT: lol
ninjadip: some pun intended
ninjadip: might as well ask a programming question in the middle of the ranting
ninjadip: do i need this friend keyword to override a ==operator?
ninjadip: what does that just let me look at the private data in the comparison without having to use getters?
ASM_MOV_INT: friend classes can access private data from classes to which they are friends, yes.
ninjadip: awe, isn't that cute, friends
ASM_MOV_INT: so friendly
ninjadip: never heard about while learning of inheritence,
ninjadip: seems like a sloppy work-around
ninjadip: am i wrong?
ASM_MOV_INT: it's like making data public between two friend functions
ninjadip: yeah, i don't like it
ninjadip: but i get it
ASM_MOV_INT: kind of like a friendly global umbrella
ninjadip: yeah globals are ugly too, try to avoid them at all cost
ASM_MOV_INT: yeah, they make a language that hides the data behind privacy.... then add stuff to the language to break it
ninjadip: except in CoCs , globals and anything else fly
struct: no i never tried wfc
ASM_MOV_INT: thanks for the walk down memory lane, I'm playing some practice puzzles
struct: at least i dont think so
ASM_MOV_INT: i'm working on wfc in a private project for graphics or world creation
ninjadip: oh cool
ninjadip: for a homebrew game you're working on?
ASM_MOV_INT: yes
ninjadip: trying to figure this debug out
struct: what is wfc used for?
ninjadip: does 35 3x3 distinct patches seem right for a 6x10 prototype?
ninjadip: ASM_MOV_INT
ASM_MOV_INT: not sure, i've not started in my experiments with it yet, but sounds like it might be?
ninjadip: yeah i'm thinking
ASM_MOV_INT: originally wfc is used in quantum mechanics
ninjadip: i guess i should just print them to test what i got
ninjadip: it's getting late here
ninjadip: i got a good start
ASM_MOV_INT: i'm doing this at work, and i still have an hour to go
ASM_MOV_INT: ...then i can get distracted playing games at home
ASM_MOV_INT: rofl
ninjadip: having a class for my 3x3 patch and overiding the == to compare helped make the rest of the code cleaner
ASM_MOV_INT: robert heaton has some nice explanations for wfc as well
ninjadip: i was telling Wontonimo i saw this youtube video that made it all click. and they started off by using a sudoku grid and rules to explain the concepts
ASM_MOV_INT: cool
ninjadip: it really helped for me, cause i love sudoku and understand how that works and i could see the link
ninjadip: just never used the words they use in WFC to describe it
ninjadip: the quantum words
ASM_MOV_INT: it's a great algorithm that can be as complex or simplified as you want. you can train the computer to learn everything from the input in patterns, or manually code the rules, or combination, etc.
ninjadip: yeah, learning from patterns does seem to have its advantages
ASM_MOV_INT: probability of a given pattern, when more than one pattern is possible, plus rotation of patterns.... oh boy
ASM_MOV_INT: haha, i was just about to complain that easy puzzle took me 40 minutes.... then I got 100%!
ASM_MOV_INT: :sunglasses:
Isomizer: it very hard
derjack: thats what she said!

luka74: nicola ntm pk tu ma banni gros fou
nicola: Parce que tu te prends pour le roi du pétrole.
BlaiseEbuth: baguette
Wontonimo: Luka has been banned
jacek: oO
Wontonimo: what ninjadip ? you got the patches for WFC done? tell me more !
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: luka has been banned?
struct: jacek on bt you only have 1 hidden layer right?
jacek: 2
struct: ok, i have another question, i was watching a video yesterday about nn on number recognition and output was 1-9
jacek: difference is slight but better
struct: on bt what does the output look like?
struct: is it like an eval?
jacek: i only use value the the output is tanh, so (-1,1)
struct: is it the same for games with draws?
jacek: yes
jacek: you can somewhat interpret it as probability of winning
struct: thanks
jacek: number recognition, so it was probably mnist
jacek: where output layer had 10 nodes
struct: oh yes
struct: 0-9
struct: seems impressive though
struct: that NN can play so well early with only -1, 1 values as output
jacek: umm, it is from -1 to 1
struct: ah
struct: so I missunderstood
jacek: for opening positions it'll give something like 0.05 for white, or -0.03 for black
jacek: digit recognition is classification. the value stuff is regression
struct: so you dont have an "output layer" right?
jacek: my output layer has 1 node
struct: I see
struct: is tanh the value from the 2nd layer right?
struct: I dont know the terms
nicola: Yes, luka talked to me as if I were a snotty kid.
jacek: value from sum/dot product from 2nd layer
struct: ye
struct: thanks for explaining
nicola: On #fr, then here after his first ban.
nicola: Do you want the translation of what he wrote here in French?
struct: I dont think you need to justify the bans nicola
nicola: No, but I can explain if needed.
nicola: :grin:
Wontonimo: oh, i was just announcing the ban because it wasnn't visible. it looked like the right move to me nicola. my reason for announcing it was so people know that behaviour isn't acceptable and has been dealt with
Uljahn: well deserved
ninjadip: hey Wontonimo, does 18 distinct patches sound right for the first prototype?
ninjadip: i've got them stored now, and i looked at them, they look right, visually printing them, now i'm working comparing them to the partial while calculating entropy
Wontonimo: let me check. that would be good for me to add to the hints !!
ninjadip: find the lowest entropy match and then take the patch that has the lowest entropy right? and repeat, repeat, repeat
Wontonimo: sans shannon entropy! in other words, no entropy calculations. only constraint reduction
ninjadip: well idk who shannon is, lol, i thought that meant without rotations or flips
ninjadip: i already have the code in the patch class to compare entropy to another patch
ninjadip: if i don't need it, i'll leave it in for me, for a latter project
ninjadip: it will make it easier without it
ninjadip: i'll try to finish it by the end of the day
ninjadip: bummer you only get 50xp for it
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: sup
jacek: entropy isnt what it used to be :(
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: i have a very cool idea that i want to do one day
Wontonimo: ninjadip , I get 47 unique cards from the example
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: hello wontoimo
Wontonimo: hey
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: i broke the code you gave me the other day
Wontonimo: https://tech.io/snippet/wLSSnKR
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: no, i broke it like i cant type anything and cant move up or down
eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: i kinda gave up
Wontonimo: hey ninjadip , here are the unique patches
Wontonimo: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/a37e84a3-1bfd-4a24-8446-15a43d010ab3
Wontonimo: I added it to the contribution in the hints section. it is now the 3rd hint (in rot13)
Wontonimo: what are you talking about eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers ? I thought you were talking about the python adventure game
ninjadip: i thought the cards were 3x3
Wontonimo: they are
Wontonimo: i just concat'ed them onto one line each for brevity
Wontonimo: you'll notice that each line is 9 characters. that makes a 3x3 patch
ninjadip: oh ok
ninjadip: they aren't that easy to read like that, but i got you
ninjadip: i'll have to figure out whats up
Wontonimo: here they are in 3x3 form https://tech.io/snippet/hpPO1E4

eve_va_hooves_the_king_of_losers: well see ya
Josdel: see u
p.p.o.p.: I don't think the clashes should require us to have prior knowledge. The one I just did seemed to require knowledge of Hex<-->ASCI translations with no description
p.p.o.p.: Obviously syntax knowledge!
p.p.o.p.: But not non-coding knowledge
Wontonimo: it is knowledge of the computer hardware, and assembly, and the basis of all programming code
Wontonimo: so, i'd say that's some good background knowledge to have
Wontonimo: a "byte" is 2hex, and ascii is the original conversion of 2hex into printable characters
p.p.o.p.: Oh. So interested. I had no clue! Just doing some self-learning over here...need to read some books
p.p.o.p.: *interesting
jacek: learning from clashes eh?
p.p.o.p.: I do find it useful!
p.p.o.p.: The puzzles are far more useful. Clashes far more addicting.
p.p.o.p.: I think the clashes would be more useful personally if it was all C# so I could more easily make sense of others' code, but that is also useful
Blokops: you must really hate short mode clashes
ninjadip: i hate smallest code
jacek: whats what she...
Blokops: can you please lests dont?
struct: what?
Blokops: btw does anyone know when the cp points are edded?
struct: 1am france time
Blokops: too bad i dont speak french
struct: 1am italy time
Blokops: ah gotcha
Blokops: so around 5pm in mtd
Blokops: soooo any recomendations for the optimization/bot problem that i should tackle ?
Blokops: tackle next *
5DN1L: depending on what you like or what you want to learn/practise?
Blokops: so far i done A*frok and code of legends
Blokops: and both where a pain
Blokops: more code of legends
Blokops: anything more simple
Blokops: actually i need to do the mars lander
Blokops: since i also need to do mars lander part 3
5DN1L: Do that then?
Wontonimo: i like 2048 as an optimization
Blokops: looks simple enough
Wontonimo: but don't do an optimization if you are not interested in optimizing code by doing things like inlining if/else into multiplies to make branchless code
Blokops: my first guess is that someone outthere aleady made some guides to get a high score in the game
Wontonimo: 2 words:
Wontonimo: sn
Wontonimo: ake
Blokops: on that thougth there should be a snake optimiazion game
Wontonimo: and a third:
beam
Blokops: the old phone game
Blokops: beam search?
Wontonimo: yeah
Wontonimo: i should rewrite mine. my bot uses dfs. bleghk
Quidome: you can use dfs with itterative deepening though
Blokops: maybe some A* to limit the depth
Wontonimo: it's just hard coded to 5. does pretty well
Wontonimo: 33rd / 1043. not too bad
Blokops: for being hardcoded 33rd place sound good
Quidome: got to position 54 with dfs+ :)
Wontonimo: yeah!
Scarfield: hard coded :o instant mod privilege removal!
Wontonimo: haha
Wontonimo: my answer isn't hard coded, just the depth
Scarfield: phew
Wontonimo: i don't think there is enough space to hard code all the moves for 2048 and get a reasonable score
Quidome: But for me the evaluation function was critical
Wontonimo: oh yeah, for sure
struct: just NN it
Scarfield: oh you talking about 2048, i still havent tried that, should get into it sometime
Quidome: didn't manage to get your snake idea working :(
Wontonimo: my snake idea?
Quidome: on 2048
Quidome: maybe i did not understand what you meant
Wontonimo: > > > v
v < < <
> > > v
Quidome: yeah that
Wontonimo: where * is your largest num
Quidome: i did understand :)
Quidome: but did not get my eval function producing that behaviour
Wontonimo: my eval function scores the first position in the top left as 3^0, then the position to the right is 3^1, then 3^2 , etc
Wontonimo: whatever value is in that position gets multiplied by the 3^n
Quidome: Hm, gonna think about that, maybe try it
Wontonimo: having a '2' in the top left is worth 3^0*2
Quidome: yeah I got the idea
Wontonimo: i also only ever explore 3 directions.
Manchi_o6o7: has someone some experience with the eigen library in c++
Wontonimo: the 4th direction is dumb
Quidome: just got a descent position on bulls and cows that wasn't that hard :)
Quidome: gonna work on that one first a little bit more. Thnxs for the tips btw
p.p.o.p.: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/106d6707-03f0-4c10-bbbe-d9a6889dbcd1
Wontonimo: you need a correctoin
Wontonimo: i'll post, just a sec
Blokops: why thrust ==99?
Wontonimo: Console.WriteLine(nextCheckpointX + " " + nextCheckpointY + " " + thrust);
Wontonimo: you forgot a space between y and thrust
p.p.o.p.: I was just testing to see if it was something to do with the string being too long because the sample has a space at the start " 80"
struct: Manchi_o6o7 it seems they have a discord server
struct: maybe you will get better luck there
p.p.o.p.: Oh okay. Thanks Wontonimo!
p.p.o.p.: I tried putting the space in the the thrustString
Wontonimo: yeah, but you don't use that variable
Wontonimo: just delete it
Wontonimo: I mean delete the variable thrustString
p.p.o.p.: I see!
p.p.o.p.: Okay!
Wontonimo: submit your bot so i can see it in the leaderboard !
p.p.o.p.: Are you talking to me Wontonimo? I'm 2408 haha so pretty low. Don't know how to submit it.
Wontonimo: talking to you about your mad pod racing
Blokops: a tip for mad pod is that you can remove the boss bot and put other peeople bots to see how they do it
Blokops: btw whats the last quest of bot/optimization?
Blokops: is it to reach legendary?
struct: just to get to the next league
Wontonimo: reach top 2% of optimization, then top 2% of code golf
p.p.o.p.: I think I'm ranked 3 in this league but that doesn't feel right
Blokops: not to brag but im top 200 in code of golf :yum:
Blokops: could reach more if i took my time to learn a new langauge
Wontonimo: yup
Blokops: p.p.o.p. wood leage go by really fast
Wontonimo: almost there ppop
Wontonimo: don't reduce your thrust to 0. perhaps 30
Blokops: i would argue to reduce it to 0 but lower the windows it stays at 0
p.p.o.p.: Okay :)
Wontonimo: yeah, nevermind.
Wontonimo: do try detecting how far away the checkpoint is, and if it is really close then slow down. maybe if within 800 then slow down to thrust 50
Wontonimo: gtg bye!
ninjadip: oh man i love pod racing!
p.p.o.p.: bye. Thanks for helping!
ninjadip: yes if close, slow down, play with the numbers until you find what you like
p.p.o.p.: but then I could see getting stopped so I am setting a bool outside the game loop to let me know if I'm approaching
ninjadip: i recommend making these two variables global constants to make them easy to change later. like DISTANCE_TO_SLOW_DOWN=800 APPROACH_SPEED=30
p.p.o.p.: Okay, thanks!
ninjadip: i love some pod racing
ninjadip: could talk shop on that forever lol
p.p.o.p.: yeah this is fun. Unfortunately I have to go be social but would rather keep doing this to be honest
ninjadip: i get it
ninjadip: pod racing was my first CG game, it sucked me in
ninjadip: what's going to blow your mind later is that you can be faster without ever slowing down for checkpoints but by having adaptive steering that will auto correct for you to account for drift
p.p.o.p.: oh wow. I don't think i'm good enough at math for that!
ninjadip: yeah, that's what's cool about the leagues
ninjadip: you don't need to do that to beat wood league
ninjadip: lets you build on your logic in increments
p.p.o.p.: create a wave function that goes through the two points?
ninjadip: doesn't even need to be that insance
ninjadip: insane
ninjadip: it's really simple, but you need to get past wood league first
ninjadip: and i will help you figure out how to do drift together
Blokops: you dont need that much math until silver
ninjadip: i think gold is where real math and logic come in
ninjadip: with only one ship, you only have to think, go fast lol. with two ships you have options
ninjadip: makes me want to get back into it, but i had to put it down..
Blokops: currenlty trying to beat gold but im stuck trying to recreate the "checkpoint_angle" varaible that was taken off
ninjadip: yeah
ninjadip: want me to share that
ninjadip: i can't remember but i think i had a atan2 in there for that
Blokops: maybe after i lost all hope
ninjadip: float angle = atan2(p1.y - p2.y, p1.x - p2.x); angle * 180 / PI
ninjadip: the second part turns it into degrees
struct: you can always check csb bible if you want to write a sim for it
ninjadip: use your cordinates and the checkpoint cordinates in the formula
Blokops: awesome, legend league here i go!!!
ninjadip: i liked that method, was the simplest
Blokops: after i finish the homewokr of course >->
Blokops: this webpage is really triggering my adhd
ninjadip: sorry
Blokops: been trying to do the homewokr for 3 hours now
ninjadip: i keep looking out to watch the snow
p.p.o.p.: What ranking do you need to advance to the next league?
ninjadip: have to beat the bot
ninjadip: the evil looking guy
ninjadip: usually it's like number 1
ninjadip: or sometimes multiple can beat the boss at the same time
ninjadip: he's called Boss, right?
ninjadip: once you beat the boss, there is a cooldown period before you advance, for wood league it isn't that long
p.p.o.p.: It says the boss and I tied for first
Scarfield: After your submit has finished, your score has to be higher than the score of the boss to rank up
p.p.o.p.: Got it. I think I just need to test it in the arena. We'll see
p.p.o.p.: I was doing it in my IDE
Scarfield: IDE "tests" wont rank you up, only submits with higher than boss scores
p.p.o.p.: Oh god. Im looping around the station haha
p.p.o.p.: like a moon in orbit
Scarfield: mad pod racing?
p.p.o.p.: haha yeah
p.p.o.p.: *BEGINNER* mad pod racing
Blokops: make sure that when you get reallllly close the speed is low
Blokops: (around 30)
Scarfield: no need for that actually, check this out: https://gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/series/understanding-steering-behaviors--gamedev-12732
Blokops: no better close AND the angle is grater than emlets say 50%
p.p.o.p.: I've got less than 300 speed at 50, less than 200 speed is 20, less than 100 speed is 5
p.p.o.p.: oh yes blokops
p.p.o.p.: thats the solution to my orbit
Scarfield: you should check out my link p.p.o.p. fpr some "better" appraoch, anyway im off, good night :)
p.p.o.p.: Thank you Scarfield!
Blokops: that moment when you can close a bunch of tabs afyter finish homework
LovinLifee: ich mag schwzne
ninjadip: mine is due sunday, probably start tomorrow
p.p.o.p.: In the bronze league and my pod is sitting at a cool 22,458th on the leaderboard
ninjadip: sweet
dmuraco: same
ninjadip: be that underdog
dmuraco: ninjadip
ninjadip: yes
ninjadip: sorry
ninjadip: in headphone world
ninjadip: coding for wfc
ninjadip: i'm right there, so close
ninjadip: nvm, i think i have to rewrite the logic
p.p.o.p.: what is wfc?
ninjadip: wave function collapse, and i've been working on it for too long on and off
ninjadip: bout to quit
p.p.o.p.: Sounds hard. Is it for animation, modeling, or something? Or is it a codingame challenge?
ninjadip: it has a wide variety of uses in procedural generation
p.p.o.p.: cool! One day i'll understand all this stuff
ninjadip: could feed it a pattern of 4 tiles that have adjancy rules that make it generate some cool stuff
p.p.o.p.: Nice like art? Patterns? Game worlds?
ninjadip: omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.p.o.p.: You got it?!
ninjadip: so i literally was in the process of deleting my logic for it, and in the process i see that i have a coding error that while checking for lowest< whatever i never updated this new_lowest variable in the for loop
ninjadip: so of course the logic after the loop never got the right input
ninjadip: i fixed that, and now it works :)
p.p.o.p.: awesome. that feeling is the best!
ninjadip: had to Ctrl-Z
ninjadip: to undo my angry delete
ninjadip: lol
ninjadip: so crazy, that's never happened to me
p.p.o.p.: oh wow. That was down to the last minute!
ninjadip: literally one line of code from completing but finding out after giving up while still being able to save it
C26_1: Hello everyone
Blokops: oh wow my rank skyrocket
C26_1: I have a question
Blokops: whats your q
C26_1: Does update my computer (Windows Update) makes my comp slower?
Blokops: ehChat Log (talk)
C26_1: Cuz 748.6 MB
C26_1: @Blokops, ok thnk you
C26_1: thank*
Aaronnotsharon: can anyone help me with the ASCII Art puzzle
BobLob: How do we know if we can help?
Aaronnotsharon: actually nevermind I think I got it figured out lol
BobLob: Glad I helped.
python-kitten: hi
DSG_prozkillz: stfu
BobLob: That's a bit rude.
DSG_prozkillz: yess man
Wontonimo: take a break DSG_prozkillz
Wontonimo: you'll be able to rejoin in about 5 min
Wontonimo: "How do we know if we can help?" lol
BobLob: Sorry, I'll take a break too, boss
Wontonimo: what? no that was funny
BobLob: I know, but I'll still take a break :) It's only fair
Wontonimo: why? as far as i can see, you've called it like it iis
Wontonimo: what have you been working on BobLob ?
BobLob: Nothing exciting here. Just doing the stuff that pays the bills.\
Wontonimo: nothing here pays bills !
Wontonimo: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
BobLob: Oh, that's not true at all. You have your roguelike, right?
Wontonimo: a prototype, yeah. https://panchishin.github.io/roguer_path/
Wontonimo: i made a few small mods today
BobLob: Spit and polish can take any of that to big bucks.
Wontonimo: haha
Wontonimo: no, i got a day job. I've tried my hand at making products and running my own business. Regular employment is where its at.
Wontonimo: the rogue thing is just for fun. totally free
DSG_prozkillz: yo can yall talk about that in a pc
BobLob: Sure thing, would you like to join us?
DSG_prozkillz: no
BobLob: Your loss is our gain.
DSG_prozkillz: by all mean
DSG_prozkillz: means^
zophia2222: hi
Wontonimo: wdym "talk about that in a pc" ?
DSG_prozkillz: privte chat
zophia2222: ya
zophia2222: where is andres?
zophia2222: https://zoom.us/j/3616366396?pwd=bWwwL1hTUVNZQ0FUVVI4blFtUHVvUT09
MACKEYTH: I have succeeded in making my Atari Go player worse than random :(
Wontonimo: zophia has been banned
Wontonimo: no posting zoom calls to questionable meeting rooms
Wontonimo: how did you make it worse than random?
MRGDisGOD: hallo can i ask u something about moad pod racing?
MACKEYTH: Tried to implement a depth 2 minimax. Now it seems to be allergic to capturing.
Wontonimo: yeah, i'd be happy to talk about mad pod racing
Wontonimo: atari go , or atari go 9x9 ?
MACKEYTH: 9x9
Wontonimo: what? my random bot is better than yours
MACKEYTH: Yep. My old random bot was #7.
Wontonimo: well, it isn't entirely random
Blokops: speaking of mad pod racing ~ ~ ~
Wontonimo: yes yes ?
Blokops: could i get a hint on how to calculate the checkpoint angle in relation with the pod angle
Wontonimo: its given to you
Wontonimo: it's the angle
Blokops: gold take sit away
Wontonimo: no way
Blokops: it only gives the pod self angle
Wontonimo: oh yeah
Blokops: treid using this math.atan2(next_checkpoint_y_1 - y1, next_checkpoint_x_1 - x1)
Blokops: but from there im stuck
Wontonimo: what does that give you?
Blokops: some small number
Blokops: after putting it through this
Wontonimo: radians
Blokops: (angle * 180 / math.pi) - angle1
Blokops: it gives and angle but is not right
MACKEYTH: Remember it'll be mirrored, since y increases downward.
Wontonimo: ! ^^
Blokops: uh
Blokops: that explains a lot
Wontonimo: maybe
math.atan2(y1 - next_checkpoint_y_1, next_checkpoint_x_1 - x1)
Blokops: but now that i have the angle how do i make it in respect to the ship angle
Wontonimo: (angle * 180 / math.pi) - ship_angle
Blokops: is giving me value over 360
Wontonimo: %360
Blokops: right now the final question of how can it be cut into 180
Isomizer: it very hard
