Wontonimo: oh, right, antiwonto is sleeping
Uljahn: Automaton2000: do bots dream of electric taco?
Automaton2000: i must have missed that
MrZee: Fair
DarkMatriac: I keep getting red underline under some parts of my code but there are no errors and my code runs just fine. I always need to reload the page to fix it. Am I doing anything wrong or is it just the website that does that often?
MrZee: I've noticed it on mostly the bot IDEs when they're open for a long time, so I think it's somewhat typical
DarkMatriac: It happens to me after like sometimes 2 minutes of having the page open. I guess I'll just live with it xD
Uljahn: which language?
DarkMatriac: c++
MrZee: For me I've been using C#, but it's not very often
MrZee: Either the IDE will say there's an error or the playback when testing my code will freeze but the console will continue outputting as if nothing's wrong
DarkMatriac: is there a way to know where my output fail exactly when there are like 30 lines of individual test in the same test case?
MrZee: I personally use a whole lot of console.error.writelines to figure out what my code is seeing at every step
DarkMatriac: Actually i think I have an idea
derjack: :upside_down:
therealbeef: you can run the code on your own computer, mimic the input, and use a debugger
DarkMatriac: Actually I just outputted a defined number of answer until I was able to locate the one that failed.
derjack: coin guessing game eh
DarkMatriac: exactly xD
Mrs.GloriaZindlebocker: ouch, they picked an event where zeno and oher are in play
linjoehan: I need a team or team mate to do hash code, but I hate people. Anyway I main c++ and if you want to play with me please say eye
YS_Yousef: yeaaaa
YS_Yousef: I solved the new puzzle
YS_Yousef: A COIN GUESSING GAME
Choristor: Congrat!
YS_Yousef: thx thx a lot

YS_Yousef: did you solved it
YS_Yousef: ?

sofii: how can i win with boss 4?
Uljahn: Automaton2000: maybe the real win was the coding skills we made along the way
Automaton2000: i need to read that
MrZee: Is it possible to be pushed back to a lower league in things like Mad Pod Racer?
Uljahn: nope
MrZee: Cool, I was worried about that lol
Kururugi: how do i make codingame pastebin?
CoderRudra: hello guys
CoderRudra: https://replit.com
5DN1L: Kururugi Just paste your lines here
Kururugi: Thanks. I am trying to implement a backtracking solution for sudoku solver and I am not able to get the backtracking executed within time limit for last test case.
Kururugi: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/b991998f-7769-441a-92bd-81c86ffcfa32
Kururugi: https://www.codingame.com/training/medium/sudoku-solver
YS_Yousef: every one of my friend solved it but i didn't XD
Kururugi: My current approach is to just naively backtrack and go through each possibilites till i reach final cell. Any suggestions for improving time?
MrZee: I ran into the same issue, I managed to solve it by searching for the row, collumn, or 3x3 section that had the least amount of open cells and start from there
MrZee: You end up having to go through a lot less combinations then
Kururugi: I see
TAPQI: Another solution would be to use a faster language. I got the naive backtracking working with rust, without optimizing it all that much
MrZee: Yeah, I did it in C#, I ran a count of how many loops it took to run a regular backtracking code and it came up as over 300,000 loops. When I started solving it using the smallest cluster of open cells first, it went down to a little over 4,000 loops
YS_Yousef: guys how does the new event work (e.g A coin guessing game)?
Andriamanitra: why bother optimizing when you can just slap functools.lru_cache somewhere and it'll likely work
YS_Yousef: I solved it but I don't know do I need to add comments or any thing?
MrZee: Only if you plan to publish your code for others
YS_Yousef: i want
YS_Yousef: to publish it
MrZee: Then yeah, I'd recommend adding some explanatory comments, then when you go to the solutions page of the puzzle you can have your code published
YS_Yousef: thx
YS_Yousef: I will do that
MrZee: When you finish your commenting make sure to submit the code again though so it saves the updated version
YS_Yousef: yea thx :thumbsup:
Bitonymous: :rage:
5DN1L: Automaton2000 bring some happiness to the coders
Automaton2000: can someone check my code because i was trying to do with the input and output
MrZee: same
YS_Yousef: did this make me happy and i don't know?
MrZee: Well personally the hardest part in coding is the input, the output, and everything inbetween
YS_Yousef: you mean every thing XD
MrZee: Yep!
YS_Yousef: hhhhhh XD
YS_Yousef: can someone see my solution about " A Coin Guessing Game"?
YS_Yousef: to give me his feedback?
5DN1L: Maybe you should mention which programming language your solution uses?
YS_Yousef: how to mention?
5DN1L: i mean in the chat
5DN1L: it's in Python, isn't it?
YS_Yousef: ahh ok python guys
YS_Yousef: I will try to make it in c# but I am a piece of cake in c#\ XD
5DN1L: erm... "piece of cake" means easy?
YS_Yousef: no you know what is the place of cake in the real sentence XD do you?
5DN1L: i don't
YS_Yousef: i can't write it in the world chat
5DN1L: https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/piece%20of%20cake
YS_Yousef: I wasn't know XD
5DN1L: just say that the task won't be a piece of cake for you :wink:
YS_Yousef: ok
YS_Yousef: that is good
YS_Yousef: Why the code helper does not help me in c#?
5DN1L: what do you mean by code helper
YS_Yousef: e.g does not make me see the error in my code
YS_Yousef: the code helper that like who say that there is an error
YS_Yousef: assist I think
YS_Yousef: ah it worked now
5DN1L: :ok_hand:
YS_Yousef: :blush:
YS_Yousef: ok i will not make it in c# XD
Andriamanitra: i have created a masterpiece
YS_Yousef: what master piece
Andriamanitra: someone should make a museum of beautiful programs just so my coin guessing game solution could be displayed there
YS_Yousef: can i see your code?
YS_Yousef: i made my own code
Andriamanitra: i managed to use three obscure language features on one line in perfect harmony
YS_Yousef: so i will not rob it XD don't worry i will not rob it :joy:
kryptoid: hi fellow n*erds
Andriamanitra: it is published if you have solved it in ruby
YS_Yousef: i didn't solved it in ruby only python
YS_Yousef: i can't see it so?
C_breeze: learn Ruby :thinking:

Mrs.GloriaZindlebocker: darn, another of my clashes got removed
Husoski: Anyone here fluent in Ruby and willing to answer a Ruby-noobie question?
Scarfield: just ask your question, you might get an answer. No need to ask - to ask :)
Mrs.GloriaZindlebocker: do reverse clashes show test/validator names?
Husoski: In a recent clash I saw the following:
n.times { puts ' '*_1 + '*' }
Husoski: When I try that offline, (Win10 or Cygwin versions) I get undefined variable or method on _1. What is this?
Esc.exe: Build the Fibonacci Sequence but with given inputs instead of set inputs, 0 and 1. Construct an additive sequence with t, a number of times to loop, a, a first starting digit, and b, a second starting digit.
Juuiiccee: Can anybody help with the power of thor on Java
5DN1L: You may read the hints on the left first, Juuiiccee
Scarfield: just ask your question, and be specific about your problem, no need to ask to ask Juuiiccee :) you have to update the position of thor yourself, thats the usual problem people forget
5DN1L: and that too ^
Juuiiccee: yeah ive got all the if statements to have him decide which way to move I just cant get him to actually move lol
Ninjatron: i am trying pod racing thing
Scarfield: what language?
Juuiiccee: Java
Ninjatron: i cannot see any movement
Ninjatron: but it says i win
Mrs.GloriaZindlebocker: Husoski, you might try on #fr, they are pretty good at ruby
Scarfield: i dont know java, but to output a direction for thor to move: System.out.println("SE");
Scarfield: the "SE" is of course what you need to determine with your script
Ninjatron: it leveled me up, but i didn't even see my pod move
Juuiiccee: thats the weird part, I have it determining which way for him to move then I am passing the direction as a string to the print statement but he just dosent move when i play a testcase
5DN1L: what does the console say
Scarfield: do you output every turn?
Ninjatron: it says my rank is 1 and boss's rank is 2 at the end of the race
5DN1L: how about you, Juuiiccee? what does the console say?
5DN1L: Ninjatron I have no idea about your case
Juuiiccee: I looked at the console and figured it out thank you so much
5DN1L: Good
Husoski: Mrs.GloriaZindlebocker Thanks! (I think...my French is rustier than my Ruby)
Scarfield: same, maybe a browser bug that wont show the game (?)
Scarfield: :muscle: Juuiiccee
Husoski: #fr
Juuiiccee: I forgot to initalize the string to blank lmao I feel pretty stupid about now, thank you 5DN1L and Scarfield!
5DN1L: you're welcome :)
Scarfield: xD np all our mistakes are stupid :p
5DN1L: Ninjatron so you're in Wood 2 League now? I see the leaderboard doesn't show you have any score or past battles, kind of weird really
Ninjatron: it was the absolute first challenge
Ninjatron: where you change y to x
5DN1L: yes, that's correct
Ninjatron: my pod didn't move, but it said i won
Uljahn: might be unsupported browser or some addons interfering
5DN1L: somehow he's in Wood 2 league now
Ninjatron: I am using Netscape
Ninjatron: 1999 version
5DN1L: huh????? o_O
Ninjatron: :D
Scarfield: xD
Ninjatron: just a joke, i just use chrome
Ninjatron: so now i didn't even get what was I supposed to do in level 1
5DN1L: i dunno, maybe try Firefox
Ninjatron: i change x to y and now i am in wood 2 league?
Ninjatron: did I miss any learning then?
Juuiiccee: Ahhhh now I see what you mean I have to update thors position manually
5DN1L: not really
Ninjatron: that's fine then
Scarfield: yes Juuiiccee :) i missed it as well back when i started
Ninjatron: my rank was just 60k something
Ninjatron: i clicked play, lost and now my rank is 52k does it make sense?
5DN1L: Which rank are you talking about
Uljahn: you clicked "Test in arena", that's the cause
Ninjatron: nope i didn't and now it is back to 60314
Ninjatron: i clicked play again and my rank is 42466
Uljahn: hmm, there might be battles in progress in your league, so they interfere with your rank
Scarfield: Uljahn :taco:
Juuiiccee: thor just does not want to stop going on that angle straight off the path
5DN1L: You're his controller :P
Juuiiccee: good point, I thought I was updating his position so that he can change direction but I guess not
5DN1L: You can print variables to error stream to debug if needed
Juuiiccee: ah I didnt think of that, thank you
5DN1L: :)
Juuiiccee:
Warning: your code did not read all available input before printing an instruction, your outputs will not be synchronized with the game's turns and unexpected behaviour may occur.
5DN1L: That happens if you skip reading the turn numbers
Juuiiccee: oh wait it was something I messed up while trying to debug, thank you
Fureot: lol
5DN1L: no probs
Ninjatron: i don't understand what this Map Pod Racing wants me to do
Ninjatron: i get x, y, destx, desty, angle etc.
5DN1L: did you read the statement?
Ninjatron: then it tells me to output the target's position
Ninjatron: yes
5DN1L: the statement explains it all
5DN1L: you output where you want your pod to go and the thrust you want your pod to have
5DN1L: you aim to race around the checkpoints a number of times and be the first to do so
Ninjatron: i understand that, but how granular it should be?
Ninjatron: i want it to go towards the next checkpoint
5DN1L: the requirement isn't too demanding at the lower leagues
Ninjatron: the thing is my pod isn't even moving at all
5DN1L: what does the console say
Ninjatron: my output never changes
Uljahn: Ninjatron: click "replay and share" and post the link
Ninjatron: meh nvm i will figure later
Ninjatron: i think i was thinking that next checkpoint auto updates
Ninjatron: i think it only changes when you reach the "next_checkpoint"
Uljahn: yep
Ninjatron: it still leaves granularity problem
Ninjatron: if nextX and nextY are say 100 100
Ninjatron: and my x y are 0 0
Ninjatron: what should I print?
Uljahn: nextX and nextY define the direction of movement
Uljahn: turn on the debug mode in settings
Ninjatron: ok
Wontonimo: so, if the checkpoint is 350 500, you should print 350 500
Wontonimo: it really is that straight forward
Ninjatron: ok so currently, as is that's what I am doing
Ninjatron: print(str(next_checkpoint_x) + " " + str(next_checkpoint_y) + thrust)
Ninjatron: and nothing happens, no movement
Wontonimo: you need a space after the Y
Ninjatron: i am creating thrust as a string with a space ahead
Ninjatron: thrust = " 100"
Wontonimo: if you are targeting 350 500 100 but your print will print
350 500100
Wontonimo: ok
Wontonimo: i see, you treat thrust like a string
Wontonimo: refresh your screen
Uljahn: or copy-paste your code here
Ninjatron: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/b6a07a6b-8f7c-4824-9dfa-d18d7410b2d7
Ninjatron: i don't understand now it works
Ninjatron: but I haven't changed anything
Ninjatron: the exact thing that I did 1 minute after opening the challenge didn't work
Ninjatron: now it passed, which is literally just the if else in problem statement
Ninjatron: ok... so if I didn't misundertand everything else is on this screen no next screen or anything
Ninjatron: which means, that I can optimize this by calculating velocity based on the distance to next checkpoint and so on
jacek: or you can use different target based on your current velocity
Ninjatron: aren't you supposed to go the next checkpoint in order
jacek: yes, but do you need to go to always exactly into the center of next checkpoint?
Ninjatron: or are you telling me to try optimize the route based on my x y and the target destination's coordinates?
jacek: sometimes next checkpoint + 50 pixels right or top is better
Ninjatron: right, forgot that checkpoints have a radius so a touch is enough then?
jacek: yes
Ninjatron: cool thanks
Magmi: what is the best language for clash of code
jacek: game with similar physics
jacek: target https://www.codingame.com/replay/609784641 vs target - velocity https://www.codingame.com/replay/609784595
jacek: turn on debug to see where the car i s headed
jacek: Magmi for shortest python or ruby
Magmi: jacek
Magmi: is Ruby useful for anything else than the shortest coding
Magmi: seems like it is unbeatable
Magmi: but useless to learn>
Magmi: ?
jacek: i never learned ruby, but ruby isnt meme language. i.e. ruby on rails webdev is popular
struct: use perl
struct: jacek my new gamestate makes my minimax almost 2x faster
jacek: :scream:
struct: soon you will lose rank 1
jacek: so id need to upload that bigger NN after all
struct: then ill upload my NN
struct: how much stronger is your bigger NN?
jacek: about 60% winrate
Magmi: jacek
Magmi: what game do you recommend if i like clash of code
jacek: what is your programming level?
jacek: in mad pod racing, you can advance few leagues using bunch of ifs
Magmi: i am looking for something similar to code clash
Magmi: competetive programing
jacek: besides multiplayer games, there are optimization puzzles

Ninjatron: boss is below 20th
Ninjatron: i am 1st
Ninjatron: oh wait
Ninjatron: it says it will be promoted at 23H 37
Ninjatron: a day later?
Wontonimo: there ya go
Wontonimo: no, that's the time
Wontonimo: 23h = 11pm
Ninjatron: I see
Wontonimo: so 11pm 37 min
Ninjatron: cool
Ninjatron: the guy who built this site apparently is self-taught but couldn't find a job because of lack of diploma
Ninjatron: I have commonalities
Ninjatron: I got a diploma but can't find a job lol
StraumliPerversion: keep looking. this is the best time in history for finding jobs
Ninjatron: i applied to hundreds of jobs already
Ninjatron: only got 1 offer
Ninjatron: technical interview won't always go perfect, but i get rejected with even perfect technicals
Ninjatron: they say "culture fit" "team fit"
StraumliPerversion: oh, they just don't like you for some reason?
Wontonimo: do you know what that means?
Ninjatron: no? that I am too handsome? :)
Ninjatron: what does it mean really
StraumliPerversion: it is sort of the opposite of saying he's a nice, friendly guy
Ninjatron: but I never say something rude during interviews
Ninjatron: and i am quite friendly
Ninjatron: i got the weirdest rejections too, in a recent instance, it was "The team had a positive feedback for you, we decided not to move forward" :D
StraumliPerversion: I don't know. Maybe you are too loud or too quiet. Probably your friends know what the problem is, make them tell you
Ninjatron: my friends are baffled, some might be thinking maybe i am an idiot at this point
StraumliPerversion: I recommend you do a video call with Wontonimo to figure it out
Wontonimo: try punching less. also give less wedgies when at the interview. throw fewer glasses ow water
Ninjatron: lol
Ninjatron: you'd think i am being a smartass or obnoxious but none of those things
Wontonimo: maybe you are ugly. that can happen.
Wontonimo: jk
Ninjatron: lol
Wontonimo: no, seriously though, that sucks
Ninjatron: i am balding, but probably 7.5/10
Wontonimo: ha!
Ninjatron: i know, a guy i know is hideous
StraumliPerversion: if it is technical and the resume is good enough to get you in the door, it pretty much has to be personality
Ninjatron: he drives bus now
StraumliPerversion: *isn't technical
Wontonimo: see if you can get a friend to do a fake interview at their place of work and give you honest feedback without the pretence of hiring.
