WickedExistence: I have and arrayList<CustomClass> x when i call x.get(0) on this array it returns ArrayList<CustomClass> instead of CustomClass

WickedExistence: Java

WickedExistence: I don't get it, shouldn't get return me the element? the CustomClass?

Mortis_666: can you show the code?

WickedExistence: https://imgur.com/a/uUvqGsO

WickedExistence: line 55 throws The method dist(Coordinates) is undefined for the type ArrayList<Coordinates>Java(67108964)

WickedExistence: but I'm passing Coordinates :D

Mortis_666: WickedExistence "humans" its still an array list u need to add Coordinates human = humans.get(i)

WickedExistence: my god, I feel stupid

WickedExistence: thx a lot

Mortis_666: np 🤗

isimkullanmiyorum: hello

Ezuker: helo

Xenia6502: Hi

ycsvenom: the MCxxxx is really epic puzzle i will some adjustments to my solution and it will be a programming language :grimacing:

derjack: noice

c-mate: Any way I can play the pro escape rooms as an individual?

c-mate: I'd be willing to pay for it

5DN1L: [CG]Thibaud Are pro escape rooms only availble for a person with a business email only?

5DN1L: available*

Aya_Noaman: hi guys

Ajaiy: 5DN1L: I am not sure about that, but I think CodinGame for Work uses a pro account, which may be needed for the pro rooms. https://www.codingame.com/work/pricing/

5DN1L: the above was what Thibaud previously mentioned on Discord, not sure whether anything has since been changed or not

Ajaiy: oh okay

quefro: Hello guys

quefro: Im getting the correct output but it says "player timed out, expected 3 lines"

quefro: Is this performance related?

therealbeef: or a crash

quefro: I can see my output tho, and it is what it should be

therealbeef: 3 lines?

quefro: Yep

therealbeef: didn't forget endlines?

eulerscheZahl: :taco: therealbeef

eulerscheZahl: oh

eulerscheZahl: thumbs up for playing topcoder

quefro: End line?

eulerscheZahl: \n

quefro: Oh no no. I can see the output: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/4756a47e-5a34-4d50-97b7-2cc9e4b81b8e

coconutjuiceisgood: how can i change problem difficulty?

coconutjuiceisgood: the problem on clash of code is too easy

Mortis_666: try puzzles

JackSepticEyeSpeedISkey: help me i dont know how to code

Mortis_666: coconutjuiceisgood https://www.codingame.com/training/easy

JackSepticEyeSpeedISkey: can someone help me leard how to code plz

JackSepticEyeSpeedISkey: learn

eulerscheZahl: if it's still too easy, try https://www.codingame.com/training/expert/space-maze

Mortis_666: 💀

stizhia: hi

Bon[]Crayon: And His Name is AUTOMATON2000

Automaton2000: i don't want to see the code of conduct

5DN1L: Here you are, even if you don't want to see it: https://www.codingame.com/playgrounds/40701/help-center/code-of-conduct

Mortis_666: 😂

eulerscheZahl: did you ever read the tizk manual?

eulerscheZahl: The idea is that you, as human (or you, as a machine, if you happen to be a machine and happen to be reading this document) just specify which nodes are present in a graph and which edges are present.

therealbeef: thanks :) congrats on (probably) winning the topcoder MM134 eulerscheZahl

eulerscheZahl: thanks, but let's not celebrate too early

eulerscheZahl: i think i got it (iehn shared the code, ran his vs mine offline on 1000 seeds)

eulerscheZahl: iehn.txt 981.5530653588468 v21.txt 987.3849897935605

eulerscheZahl: so i should be a bit ahead (probably slightly less online, i stop moving and just wait when only 100ms left)

therealbeef: you only looked one move ahead, without path planning?

therealbeef: on seed 23 for example the only barn is inside a 'cave' of trees that is not easy to reach without path planning

eulerscheZahl: i do a BFS to compute the distance from each sheep and each barn to every other cell

eulerscheZahl: watching my bot play: farmers have a hard time to find the entrance, when a sheep is blocking it

eulerscheZahl: still 326 in score

JackSepticEyeSpeedISkey: hey guys

JackSepticEyeSpeedISkey: i dont really know how to code

JackSepticEyeSpeedISkey: could you guys point me in the right direction?

eulerscheZahl: me neither. but 5 years in and the other users still haven't caught on

eulerscheZahl: others recommend code academy if you are completely new to coding (i haven't tried the site myself). for codingame you should at least know the basics

eulerscheZahl: so get comfortable with the basics first (conditions, loops, arrays), then come back

JackSepticEyeSpeedISkey: ok i know some stuff but not everything

eulerscheZahl: some should be enough to have fun and improve here on CodinGame

eulerscheZahl: but hard to give an answer to such a broad question

therealbeef: ah, the BFS is bit like dijkstra's algorithm I guess

eulerscheZahl: on a grid with every edge having the same distance it's basically the same, just easier to implement

eulerscheZahl: and C# lacks a priority queue in Collections.Generic :(

eulerscheZahl: i see the point if siman doing it, as he didn't consider a sheep as a total block but as an increased distance

eulerscheZahl: pretty cool idea actually

eulerscheZahl: i tried seeing all sheep at higher dist as void cells and closer ones as blocks, didn't work at all. just now that i'm typing i realize my mistake in this one

eulerscheZahl: of course i wanted to consider the distance to my farmer. but i started the BFS from each sheep. so i checked how far from other sheep my target is. total nonsense

eulerscheZahl: siman definitely had some interesting ideas. iehn's code is sadly hard to read, using only 2-3 letters for variable names

eulerscheZahl: like what does any of this mean? double BW[BWM][MAX_B], TBW[MAX_B], UBW[MAX_B], SBW[MAX_B];

struct: you dont code with your caps lock on?

dbdr: BlackWhite, TopBlackWhite, UltraBlackWhite, SuperBlackWhite

dbdr: it gets better and better

eulerscheZahl: and BWM is a BMW with a typo?

dbdr: Bayerische Werke Motoren

a-Rye: The best site I've found for learning to code is freecodecamp.com. Codecademy is good, until you hit the pay wall. Then there's my codepen site I'm working on for beginners at https://codepen.io/A-Rye719/full/wvqvEwm. My Java section is good to go (for beginners) and finishing my Python section soon. But joining the live streams and asking questions is a quick way to learn too.

dimp: An error occurred (#407): "You reached the limit of plays for a period of time.". What is the limit?

Uljahn: something like 25 submits in 5 hours

dimp: okay :disappointed: Enough testing for tonight then... Thanks

Ajaiy: dimp: You have to wait for 4-5 minutes, then maybe you can submit again

Ajaiy: It had worked for me

dimp: ok, will try

jacek: addict eh

KrishnaKumarAnbalagan: hi all

KrishnaKumarAnbalagan: i m new here!

KrishnaKumarAnbalagan: i like the challenges here but the time constraint is tricky

KrishnaKumarAnbalagan: is there any site have no timing constraint?

5DN1L: there are untimed puzzles here

5DN1L: anything other than clash of code and timed contests are untimed

5DN1L: check out the ACTIVITIES

5DN1L: menu on the top

5DN1L: (or on the left depending your browser)

KrishnaKumarAnbalagan: oh great thanks

PainEXE: Hi 5DN1L can you check my contribution and check what the most recent guy is trying to say? Thanks for the help (my old name was AlmightyDab)

PainEXE: Thanks for the help

5DN1L: yw

Westicles: it is easy to solve with eval and there are a ton of problems like it, but otherwise is fine

AdemDj12: take taco

Westicles: I'm not sure if the tacos are ever coming back

AdemDj12: no eveRYTHING BUT TACOS

NSMinecraftBusst: 1

cagriy: hi from istanbul

Serge_Billault: For puzzles, is the code we provide for solutions in C++ compiled in release with optimizations enabled ?

Westicles: no optimizations

Westicles: you can do it yourself with pragmas

a-Rye: @KrishnaKumarAnbalagan you can try Code Wars! But once you get used to the time limit, the clashes here are more fun in my opinion

Red_hats: once i start a new mission on THE SAME level how to i get the game to not code the previous one????

Red_hats: once i start a new mission on THE SAME level how to i get the game to not code the previous one????

jacek: huh

Red_hats: /me

Red_hats: once i start the secend part on a practice mission called the descent once i am done with the first part and want to start the secend part the game will just read the one i typed before

Red_hats: what do i do???

5DN1L: Please do not repeat yourself and flood the chat.

5DN1L: And I don't understand your problem at all.

Synergyforge: LUL

Westicles: this is always a tough one to answer. I think he is trying to solve the tests one by one instead of writing a program

Synergyforge: Hard-coding != programming. :)

5DN1L: Ah your interpretation makes more sense to me, Westicles

Synergyforge: Where my motorcycle riders at? :D

Synergyforge: None? :(

a-Rye: I don't trust myself to them, but I come from a long line of riders!

Husoski: @Synergyforge I still have my class-M license, but haven't used it in many years.

Synergyforge: @Husoski: WHYYYY?! It's one of the best mental health boosters I can think of! :D

Magmi: hello

Magmi: come to clash of code there are spots left

chicken_noodle_soup: how is everyone doing

Synergyforge: Frustrated that I don't know how to be a dev. :sob:

MxCollard: Where do I find the "Puzzle of the Week"?

DaNinja: I think it has been replaced by Activities > Events

MxCollard: :+1: Thanks

Pers1l: Hello

MAWAAW: hi

Kaelidian: This war of drones has me completely lost

chicken_noodle_soup: he he he ha

chicken_noodle_soup: grr

FatFace0909: hehehe ha
