Synergyforge: Sure wish I were good at, graphs! :D
Synergyforge: Or deleting comments I added when I was about to say something different. :)
Synergyforge: or saying the right word like comma instead of comment. fml
Synergyforge: make taco
Synergyforge: Darn. :(
Synergyforge: Is it weird that 358 of my 493 lines of code are commented out versions of prior attempts that I didn't want to totally delete yet? :grimacing:
drnobody: well, when 2 compilers love each other...
MJ_said_hehe: Is there a benefit of sorting a map/dictionary ? The access remains O(1)
Uljahn: Automaton2000: we are reaching optimization levels that shouldn't even be possible
Automaton2000: i had to do that
PranavVK: i just did a clash of code game
PranavVK: i got 100% on test cases
PranavVK: 0% on the actual test
PranavVK: ?????
PranavVK: and no i didnt hard code if statement for the test cases
grebz: weeeeee
MCCV: weeeee
derjack: :upside_down:
PranavVK: why are there like 10 people with the avatar
Synergyforge: Clearly you wrote that number in binary.
kanav162: plz tell me how can i learn javascript here
kanav162: i sjust sarted
kanav162: i dont know anything about coding
PatrickMcGinnisII: kanav162 CG has a decent IDE for you to test code and problems to solve. Read a book, look at code, then come back. ;)
Synergyforge: Nah, just watch a couple youtube videos. Suddenly, expert in field. :)
PranavVK: why are there like 9 people with that avatar
Synergyforge: Counting not your strong suit? I see two with Jian Yang from Silicon Valley.
PatrickMcGinnisII: JS for me is just modifying the document model, varying css attributes, and modest input field verification. Not a very good number cruncher. If you need JSON, i guess you need JS. You kinda need it for webdesign, but there are alternatives.
**PatrickMcGinnisII shrugs
MJ_said_hehe: JS and JSON are two different things.
MJ_said_hehe: independent
Synergyforge: Yeah JSON is a format for storing data, and isn't required to be used with Javascript.. JS is actually quite powerful these days, and used in a lot of things other than web sites.
MJ_said_hehe: true, people are making "native" apps with JS
Synergyforge: I wrote a program for interfacing with my smart panels in Python and it uses JSON for sending and receiving data.
MJ_said_hehe: that's one of the things that I love about network applications, they are language independent. All you need is a common data format, which can be handled with frameworks like gRPC.
PatrickMcGinnisII: smh, not gonna argue... but passing data with JSON model is pretty common, i guess for websafe communications and encryption. Sure your API gateways can do more now, but that wasn't always so.
Synergyforge: "JS for me is just modifying the document model" JS might not even know about a "document model" if it's not running in a browser.
PatrickMcGinnisII: I use JS for web. I've not had cause to use it otherwise. No matter how it has been expanded and libs made, etc. It still runs slow. JS is a wait another month and someone will come up with something new to tack on. heh
Synergyforge: It used to be way worse performance-wise.
Synergyforge: To the point where people would disable JS on all websites because it was more intrusive than useful. Now, it's literally everywhere and sites will totally break if you're using something like NoScript. Is that even a thing anymore?
PatrickMcGinnisII: script insertion is certainly still a thing
derjack: still better than *ugh* flash
PatrickMcGinnisII: ^ what derjack said, lol
MJ_said_hehe: I dunno if JS has gone faster or the machines/browsers.
MJ_said_hehe: I know latter is faster for sure.
PatrickMcGinnisII: smh, my php writes custom JS ... are you 'triggerred' yet? lol
Synergyforge: I mean, Flash lasted more than 20 years. That's an eternity for an internet technology.
PatrickMcGinnisII: I'm Shocked and Waved goodbye
Synergyforge: And I really quite liked ActionScript 3. :(
Synergyforge: i c wut u did thar
MJ_said_hehe: Some video game dev companies still mention for AS3 as requirements(among others) when looking of a tool developer(dunno the reason).
Synergyforge: I think some menu systems still use Flash in even AAA games
Synergyforge: Because there's no real alternative other than writing their own engine for driving menus
PatrickMcGinnisII: hmm, some games include chrome ... maybe they have anims that have buttons...like <buy addon> ... i dunno
PatrickMcGinnisII: I think world of tanks uses an mpeg player served up for the "lastest goodies" kinda thing
PatrickMcGinnisII: has a X close button and a play button
PatrickMcGinnisII: wthdoiknow
PatrickMcGinnisII: codec support i guess
Ajaiy: i finally did it!
i finally finished Roller Coaster! 🎉🎉
Ajaiy: It took such a long time
Mortis_666: nice
Ajaiy: I need to thank Wontonimo for the memoization trick, though
Ajaiy: Hmm... and now it says that "you have won moderation rights". What does that mean?
Mortis_666: ig it means that u can now approve puzzles?
Ajaiy: I don't think it means that?
Ajaiy: that was when you finished 50 clas of codes
Ajaiy: *clash
Ajaiy: or 500
Mortis_666: no i mean approving classic puzzle
Ajaiy: Oh i see
Ajaiy: btw does anyone know any very hard puzzle to start with?
PatrickMcGinnisII: unflood the world
Ajaiy: Official ones?
PatrickMcGinnisII: https://www.codingame.com/ide/puzzle/unflood-the-world
Mortis_666: i passed all the test cases of unflood the world but failed one validator :|
PatrickMcGinnisII: you can see the validators ... i don't have the link to it tho...then you can hardocde the input and see why your code fails
Mortis_666: where?
Mortis_666: u mean go to the contribution page of that puzzle?
PatrickMcGinnisII: hmmm, i forget ... yup, that
Mortis_666: ok i found it

antiwonto: [auto] aww, there are no tacos to take
Tryst: bruh whenever i try to take tacos there are none
Tryst: but whenever someone else tries to theres always like 10 tacos on the floor
NewCoder09: Fr
Mortis_666: huntdown taco
antiwonto: [auto] Cant find anyone with enough tacos
eulerscheZahl: reminder: codejam qualification tomorrow
PatrickMcGinnisII: welcome antiwonto
PatrickMcGinnisII: eulerscheZahl hashcode over?
Tryst: take :taco:
antiwonto: [auto] aww, there are no tacos to take
PainEXE: Anyone know how many times or how do you get to another league in mad pod racing
Tryst: you need to keep winning and go up the next rank and continue goig up the next rank
Tryst: going*
Mortis_666: Tryst tacos won't be at the floor for no reason

PatrickMcGinnisII: eat :taco:
BJD: throw :taco:
antiwonto: [auto] BJD has thrown 1 :taco:s on the floor for the taking but 1 was eaten by a software bugs!
Tryst: lol idk why its ignoring you
Tryst: A SOFTWARE BUG
Tryst: BRUH
Tryst: CMON
Mortis_666: taco will only be on the floor if someone throws it or someone is shaked down
PatrickMcGinnisII: i have 0 tacos, I used them for stats
Tryst: oh thats probably why
Tryst: huntdown taco
PatrickMcGinnisII: don't know how to see stats
antiwonto: [auto] Cant find anyone with enough tacos
PatrickMcGinnisII: antiwonto help
jacek: :taco: Automaton2000
antiwonto: [auto] jacek has awarded Automaton2000 10 tacos. Automaton2000 now has 51 taco. jacek now has 40 taco
Automaton2000: and do the same thing i guess
Automaton2000: but i bet it will be fun
Mortis_666: shakedown Automaton2000
antiwonto: [auto] Using your superior Charm of 2 you shake 10 :taco:s off of Automaton2000. 9 fall on the floor, 1 got crushed, and you lost 1
Automaton2000: you can always use the same code
BJD: take taco
Mortis_666: take taco
Automaton2000: dont know what to use
antiwonto: [auto] BJD has taken 1 :taco:s off the floor and now has 1. There are 8 left
antiwonto: [auto] Mortis_666 has taken 4 :taco:s off the floor and now has 29. There are 4 left
Tryst: take taco
antiwonto: [auto] Tryst has taken 2 :taco:s off the floor and now has 5. There are 2 left
Tryst: take taco
antiwonto: [auto] sorry Tryst but you have to give someone else a turn
Tryst: oof
Mortis_666: take taco
antiwonto: [auto] Mortis_666 has taken 2 :taco:s off the floor and now has 31. There are 0 left
Tryst: take taco
Tryst: oof
antiwonto: [auto] aww, there are no tacos to take
Tryst: shakedown Mortis_666
antiwonto: [auto] Mortis_666 needs at least 50 :taco:s to do a shakedown
Mortis_666: 😋😋
Tryst: rip
Mortis_666: eat taco
antiwonto: [auto] Mortis_666 has eaten 10 :taco: and your Swag is now 2. You have 21 left
Tryst: stats taco
Tryst: how do i chek statsssssssssss
Tryst: check taco
BJD: i dont think you can
Tryst: rip
Mortis_666: ya
Tryst: so i guess i need to get a notepad and type them there
PatrickMcGinnisII: ever play a MUD, aber, diku?
PatrickMcGinnisII: if you like text type interactions and lots of bots
eulerscheZahl: hey PatrickMcGinnisII (was afk)
haschcode is over for weeks already, only lasted 4h
PatrickMcGinnisII: oh i thought u had a team go to finals
eulerscheZahl: no, kovi does
PatrickMcGinnisII: oic
eulerscheZahl: i might reach topcoder finals, we'll see
PatrickMcGinnisII: well gl. I been fightin the optim, ready to put the darn fire out
PatrickMcGinnisII: 7 hours later... some progress
eulerscheZahl: spontaneous decision: i'll try the april fools contest on codeforces
eulerscheZahl: starts in 30min
Tryst: good luck eulerscheZahl
eulerscheZahl: tasks will be weird. harder to figure out the question than to code it
PatrickMcGinnisII: 2 minutes or two hour contest?
eulerscheZahl: 2 hours
PatrickMcGinnisII: 2 minutes would be an april fool contest
Tryst: how can i register for the contest
eulerscheZahl: do you have a codeforces account?
Tryst: oof nope
Tryst: i thought it was a codingame contest
PatrickMcGinnisII: 14k registered
eulerscheZahl: that's actually small by codeforces standards
Tryst: that's small?
Tryst: wow
eulerscheZahl: https://codeforces.com/contests?complete=true
eulerscheZahl: last one had 27k
eulerscheZahl: and these contest aren't even anything special, they have 1 or 2 each week
narenza: wow
eulerscheZahl: https://codeforces.com/contest/1663/problem/H
that looks like a funny task
Roger_Rangel: where do we write the code
Roger_Rangel: :D
Roger_Rangel: inside the loop?
Tryst: lol i just registered for the april fool contest and i cant eve figure out the question
Roger_Rangel: HAHAHAHA
Roger_Rangel: instructions are not clear :joy:
Tryst: So I'm just gonna troll and do a simple infinite loop code
Roger_Rangel: no wait
Tryst: for every question
Roger_Rangel: lets solve it
Roger_Rangel: :D
Tryst: :D
Tryst: ok
Roger_Rangel: where the "f" do we put the code
Roger_Rangel: i dont get it really
Roger_Rangel: const lane = 1 thats the first answer
Roger_Rangel: :joy:
Roger_Rangel: and then console it
Roger_Rangel: funny
Tryst: lol
Roger_Rangel: hahahha im joking
Tryst: i think i found the answer
Tryst: int var = String
Roger_Rangel: and then?
Tryst: uh
Tryst: idk
Tryst: am just jokin
Tryst: xd
Roger_Rangel: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Tryst: still tho its so hard to find the answerrrrrrr
Tryst: i mean the problemmmmmmm
Roger_Rangel: the instructions are not clear
Roger_Rangel: thats the problem
Roger_Rangel: they should do it as freecocdecamp\
Roger_Rangel: plain and simple
Tryst: yes
Tryst: agree
Roger_Rangel: nice
Tryst: shakedown Automaton2000
Roger_Rangel: the teamwork part is a good idea
antiwonto: [auto] Automaton2000 needs at least 50 :taco:s to do a shakedown
Automaton2000: how can i get some help with the power of thor which was ezymode, but then it felt like 0 ...
Automaton2000: but i found a solution
Roger_Rangel: anybody found the way to solve this ?
Tryst: "Time limit per test: 1 second"
Tryst: lol
Roger_Rangel: lol
Roger_Rangel: Kinas
Roger_Rangel: co to jest ahhahaha
Roger_Rangel: pomoc nas prosze
Roger_Rangel: Kinas help us :innocent:
Tryst: ^
Roger_Rangel: wow so the solutions
Roger_Rangel: this is a joke hahahahah
Roger_Rangel: hahahhahaha what the hell :grin:
Tryst: XD
Tryst: I should've known something was fishy since it's april 1st
Roger_Rangel: hahahha
Roger_Rangel: sandbox was enough
Roger_Rangel: what a fraud
Tryst: lol
Gs21: hello worl
Gs21: d
NewCoder09: :taco: Tryst
antiwonto: [auto] NewCoder09 has awarded Tryst 3 tacos. Tryst now has 8 taco. NewCoder09 now has 4 taco
NewCoder09: goodwork antiwonto
NewCoder09: Automaton2000 hi
Automaton2000: i am trying to figure out what to do
AdemDj12: is there a way to use a variable in fstring parmeters
MOYASAR: hi there
Mortis_666: https://twitter.com/CodinGame/status/1509903392684007430 😂
eulerscheZahl: april fools?
eulerscheZahl: topcoder sent an email today:
"Topcoder Rating Problems? Buy a New One starting April 1st!"
ZeroGravity003: Hello everyone
ZeroGravity003: I'm having issues with theh actual instructipon
ZeroGravity003: Can anyone help me out
eulerscheZahl: your question is under-specified
ZeroGravity003: The mad pod racing]
ZeroGravity003: I was given 6 inputs and asked to make the pod faster
eulerscheZahl: and did you?
ZeroGravity003: I don't even know how to do that??
eulerscheZahl: there's a speed output ("thrust"). you have to change the value
ZeroGravity003: Do i have to add that as a new variable
eulerscheZahl: can you share the current print line
eulerscheZahl: ?
Wontonimo: nope, he ded
antiwonto: [auto] Hey Wontonimo, here is a :taco: for loggin in today while it is quiet. You now have 41 tacos
eulerscheZahl: :taco: Wontonimo
antiwonto: [auto] eulerscheZahl has awarded Wontonimo 10 tacos. Wontonimo now has 51 taco. eulerscheZahl now has 25 taco
eulerscheZahl: shakedown Wontonimo
eulerscheZahl: take taco
antiwonto: [auto] Using your superior Intelligence of 3 you shake 10 :taco:s off of Wontonimo. 9 fall on the floor, 1 got crushed, and you lost 1
antiwonto: [auto] sorry eulerscheZahl but you have to give someone else a turn
Wontonimo: take taco
antiwonto: [auto] Wontonimo has taken 5 :taco:s off the floor and now has 46. There are 4 left
eulerscheZahl: take taco
antiwonto: [auto] eulerscheZahl has taken 2 :taco:s off the floor and now has 27. There are 2 left
eulerscheZahl: how nice of me, isn't it?
Wontonimo: take taco
antiwonto: [auto] Wontonimo has taken 2 :taco:s off the floor and now has 48. There are 0 left
Wontonimo: hey, i ended up with more tacos
Wontonimo: eat :taco:
antiwonto: [auto] Wontonimo has eaten 10 :taco: and your Swag is now 7. You have 38 left
Wontonimo: eat :taco:
antiwonto: [auto] Wontonimo has eaten 10 :taco: and your Intelligence is now 2. You have 28 left
eulerscheZahl: i'm actually surprised that i managed to beat you in a random skill
Wontonimo: I haven't been farming tacos
Wontonimo: your Int of 3 beat my Int of 1
eulerscheZahl: but you can always give you bonus points via code
Wontonimo: i play by the same rules, makes it fun
Wontonimo: there are no 'special cases' for me
Westicles: no new event today?
eulerscheZahl: we have april fool's contest on codeforces
eulerscheZahl: you'd love the last task - i'm sadly clueless
eulerscheZahl: https://codeforces.com/contest/1663/problem/H
Westicles: hmmm
PainEXE: in mad pod racing i keep on turning too slow and doing like 3 loops around the check point
PainEXE: how do i fix that
Hugesn0wduck: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/667867563/
Hugesn0wduck: spent a while on this xd
Hugesn0wduck: get extra credit though
Wontonimo: got slower when you are close or your angle is too large PainEXE
Wontonimo: you can't change the speed of turning, all you can do is change the thrust
Westicles: nothing jumps out euler, not sure how to do that
Hugesn0wduck: can yall suggest what i should add to my scratch project before i actually spend the time coding it?
inoryy: it's been over 2 minutes and nobody suggested magic formula? back in my day...
inoryy: PainEXE set thrust = 100; target_x = checkpoint_x - 3 * velocity_x, same for _y
PainEXE: thank you
Hugesn0wduck: but yall, is it weird that i still use scratch to make a basic version of my coding ideas?
Wontonimo: oh inoryy ... we don't just give it away like that anymore
PainEXE: inorryy i dont have velocity _ x yet
Wontonimo: btw :wave: inoryy !!! Nice to see you
eulerscheZahl: MK has left and we don't even miss him
PainEXE: but when that shows up Ill do it
inoryy: :wave:
Wontonimo: you need to "calculate" velocity
inoryy: PainEXE you can estimate it from given inputs
Wontonimo: -3v
antiwonto: [auto] '-3v' was defined as ' A PID controller reference for mad pod racing. Check out https://w3.cs.jmu.edu/spragunr/CS354_F17/handouts/pid.pdf '
eulerscheZahl: MK in 1 picture: https://imgur.com/a/cx5VpXF
inoryy: haha
Hugesn0wduck: is it weird? :/
Wontonimo: scratch is great! not weird at all imho
Hugesn0wduck: mk good, i just use it as a idea maker
inoryy: scratch is awesome, do whatever works for you
Hugesn0wduck: i dont really have the time to code much anymore
Hugesn0wduck: so scratch is great for simple ideas before spending time to code
Wontonimo: scratch is coding, don't let anyone convince you otherwise
Hugesn0wduck: true, but i personally think of it as an idea complier, its really nobody but their own opinions
Hugesn0wduck: also i havent used this account in 3-4 years xd
Hugesn0wduck: i truely have matured i think :(
Hugesn0wduck: not saying yall arent mature, im just saying that i used this as a younger self, and i dont use it anymore
Hugesn0wduck: i actually got into art now, so coding helps with digital art like animations
Wontonimo: there isn't anyone here who used this in the past who wasn't younger at the time.
Hugesn0wduck: well thats a fact XD
Hugesn0wduck: bruh i cant believe i used swift in the past, i cant really see myself doing that
Hugesn0wduck: also
Westicles: except that guy from Tralfamadore the other day
Hugesn0wduck: ![Screenshot 2022-04-01 11.41.01 AM.png]()
Hugesn0wduck: i had to literally define physics
Hugesn0wduck: i hated it so much xd
Hugesn0wduck: oop that aint work
Hugesn0wduck: lol
Hugesn0wduck: just for a reference of what that photo would be
Hugesn0wduck: i defined physics
Hugesn0wduck: in code
Hugesn0wduck: five mods and a random person
Hugesn0wduck: lol
Hugesn0wduck: btw sorry for excessive chat, i will stop until there is more people
DaNinja: https://twitter.com/CodinGame/status/1509903392684007430
eulerscheZahl: there are more random persons, just not showing until they get involved
eulerscheZahl: someone else shared their April Fools prank before
PainEXE: Can someone give me some feedback and if its any good approve my clash of code puzzle? https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/11533e190b55b63be956c0a928a28afdbe6fe thanks
Wontonimo: antiwonto can you rickroll people?
eulerscheZahl: print(eval(input()+input()+input()))
Wontonimo: Automaton2000 , can you rickroll people?
Automaton2000: i try to keep it
eulerscheZahl: should do the job for your clash
Westicles: print(int(eval((input()+input()+input()).replace("x","*"))))
Westicles: I'm not good at python though
Hugesn0wduck: so question yall, what should i add to my scratch project before i actually code it
Hugesn0wduck: if you would like the project to eb linked again, please just ask
Hugesn0wduck: be*
eulerscheZahl: changed it to this as well Westicles. passes all but the final validator
eulerscheZahl: only validators use division
NewCoder09: ```cpp
eulerscheZahl: this is not discord
eulerscheZahl: you can't format code or include images
NewCoder09: yeah I know
Hugesn0wduck: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/667867563/
Hugesn0wduck: there it is, imma be doing something so i wouldnt of been able to post when asked
Hugesn0wduck: so imma just do it now
Hugesn0wduck: if ya lose the link then too bad?
Westicles: PainEXE, just wait, pretty much everything gets approved these days eventually
Wontonimo: cool. now make the ball bounce.
Westicles: balls bounce?
antiwonto: [auto] Westicles be respectful and watch your language
https://www.codingame.com/playgrounds/40701/help-center/code-of-conduct
eulerscheZahl: you did that on purpose, didn't you?
Westicles: :innocent:
eulerscheZahl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVBfEE7batM
Wontonimo: 1 is fine. more than 1 is profane obviously
Hugesn0wduck: back
Hugesn0wduck: im listening to piano and just grinding out my coding
Hugesn0wduck: Xd
Tryst: im just listening to the sound of my keyboard when im coding
Tryst: it calms me down
NewCoder09: Same
Westicles: calms you down because you are on the spectrum, or just in general?
NewCoder09: Just calms me down from the way the button click
Tryst: ^
Lachrymosa: Is anyone available to help me troubleshoot a minor error?
Lachrymosa: I say minor because it still executes somehow, but it flags an error nonetheless... unless this is an Apr 1 prank
Wontonimo: start explaining and see who helps
Lachrymosa: In Python I have a function that returns a tuple (x,y) and stores it in a dicitonary. When accessing the first or second value of the tuple i do dict[key][index] it is printing the expected result but the error is also saying
TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable
Wontonimo: on what line, and what is the code on that line
Lachrymosa: holder=(second[a][0]+(second[a][0]-first[a][0]),second[a][1]+(second[a][1]-first[a][1]))
Wontonimo: and what is in 'second' ?
Wontonimo: the compiler knows that it is an int. What do you want in there?
Lachrymosa: I want a dictionary with the value being a tuple of ints
Wontonimo: what's the key of the dictionary?
Lachrymosa: a single letter string
Wontonimo: show us the line of code where you add the tuple to the dictionary
Lachrymosa: https://pastebin.com/uhjTmtke
Wontonimo: nope, sorry, i don't have access to unsecure websites.
Lachrymosa: My function getCoord returns the tuple and it is added in the second for loop to the dictionary
Lachrymosa: def getCoord(display,letter): http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/f954cdd1-ab90-4cee-93f5-b2a98b2f59f1
Lachrymosa: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/0fc65355-7f39-437f-ba8e-e0db39c7531d
Lachrymosa: Is pastebin unsafe? Should I not use it?
Wontonimo: your getCoord can return -1 instead of a tuple.
Wontonimo: -1 is an int last i checked
Westicles: Is Discord secure? Gets blocked at work for alot of people
FrancoRoura: No CodinGame logo in r/place?
Lachrymosa: ach, you're right. I incorrectly assumed the error was with the correctly returned thing I wanted, but it is from the 'none' results. Thanks
PainEXE: Can someone explain how to calculate velocity in mad pod racing
Uljahn: difference between coordinates at current and previous turns?
eulerscheZahl: probably for distraction, Westicles
eulerscheZahl: companies don't want their employees browsing the web at paid time
eulerscheZahl: or find an optimal layout for scrabble
Westicles: heh heh
Wontonimo: hey PainEXE, velocity is calculated like this
Wontonimo: ( current - previous ) / time
Wontonimo: but since each turn is 1 you can get rid of the time
Wontonimo: so it becomes
Wontonimo: current_location - previous_location
PainEXE: how do i get current and previous and how do i get time
PainEXE: Failing rn
Wontonimo: you don't need time, like i said, it's always 1
PainEXE: k
PainEXE: do i just say if dist ==0
PainEXE: then its previous time
PainEXE: and x is current location?
Wontonimo: you have your current location yeah?
PainEXE: ye
Wontonimo: okay, and do you know how to make a new variable ?
PainEXE: Yup
Wontonimo: great
PainEXE: do i just assign it to dist==0:?
Wontonimo: so make a new variable called previous
Wontonimo: and at the end of your main loop assign previous = current
Wontonimo: done, now you have previous and current
PainEXE: thx
Wontonimo: i don't know what this dist==0 thing is you keep talking about, but it's not that
Uljahn: also the very first turn is kinda special, because your previous has no relevant information stored in it yet, but you can assume the speed is 0 for this turn
Wontonimo: meh, don't confuse her with edge cases
Wontonimo: or him. idk actually
eulerscheZahl: i still think CSB shouldn't be an onboarding
Wontonimo: what would be a better one?
eulerscheZahl: heavily confused me when they never explained what the angle means and that you can only turn by 18°
eulerscheZahl: anything grid based
Uljahn: uTTT
antiwonto: [auto] 'UTTT' was defined as ' Ultimate TicTacToe '
Westicles: tron
eulerscheZahl: the TTT part of UTTT would work - but that game didn't exist when they made the onboarding
inoryy: tron would be nice for onboarding
eulerscheZahl: at least CG learned not to change input formats in higher leagues
inoryy: is there a dictionary of what antiwonto knows?
eulerscheZahl: help

Uljahn: x%5 = 1
antiwonto: [auto] x = 1
Westicles: lmgtfy inoryy what does antiwonto do
antiwonto: [auto] hey inoryy let me google that for you https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=what+does+antiwonto+do
Uljahn: 5%x = 1
antiwonto: [auto] x = 2
Wontonimo: 1?!
Wontonimo: oh, that is correct

Wontonimo: inoryy , the source code is https://github.com/panchishin/cgchat
eulerscheZahl: new events start on monday
eulerscheZahl: now we have the review phase of the current
Wontonimo: most of the connection code is stolen errr i mean borrowed from Automation 2000
inoryy: php
antiwonto: [auto] 'php' was defined as ' A zombie walks into a brain store. On the shelves, a pound of C++ programmers' brain sells for $500, of Java programmers, $1000, and of PHP programmers, $1,000,000. The zombie gets confused and asks the store owner why PHP programmers' brain is so much more expensive. The owner says "do you know how many PHP programmers I kill to get one pound of brain?" '
Westicles: oh, normally it shows the next one on the event page
inoryy: heh
inoryy: bot
antiwonto: [auto] 'bot' was defined as ' Automaton2000 '
Automaton2000: but you can just make a bot that is a great way to learn
Westicles: that's why the #fr hate wonton
Westicles: at least he didn't criticize Haskell...
Wontonimo: what? it's a complement to Php programmers! It clearly means that php programmers are harder to kill, rright?
inoryy: haha https://github.com/panchishin/cgchat/blob/main/solver.js#L27-L44
Wontonimo: yup, I totally admit it is a hack

eulerscheZahl: short list
Tryst: what language is that code in
Tryst: ?
Wontonimo: javascript
Tryst: ok
Wontonimo: uses node to run locally
Wontonimo: "we had the same thoughts" Who do you mean "we" eulerscheZahl ?
eulerscheZahl: Westicles, looking for the last of swear words
Wontonimo: there used to be the ability for anyone to add a definition. That was fun for a bit, but devolved quickly. It's not really being used anymore.

antiwonto: [auto] aww, there are no tacos to take
eulerscheZahl: i won't do you the favor to shake him for you
Wontonimo: oh, i like the new dynamic that the person doing the shake down doesn't get first dips
Wontonimo: dibs
Wontonimo: it's a game of chicken

eulerscheZahl: now we only have Bender 4
eulerscheZahl: https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/optimization/bender---episode-4
ycsvenom: so if i end bender ep4 i will get that ACHIEVEMENT of bender ep1?
eulerscheZahl: no
eulerscheZahl: https://www.codingame.com/training/medium/blunder-episode-1
ycsvenom: then how?
eulerscheZahl: this will give you the achievement
Fureot: lol
ycsvenom: thanks
eulerscheZahl: but Bender 4 is more fun (i might be biased)
ycsvenom: loool
eulerscheZahl: ping Neralem are you there?
Neralem: Hi i am
eulerscheZahl: https://www.diffchecker.com/bEFlClF3
eulerscheZahl: your festival thing made some unnecessary calls
eulerscheZahl: let's say you have a sum X accumulated so far. you solve the rest. then you do the same again starting with a higher value Y some time later
eulerscheZahl: or even with a lower value
eulerscheZahl: while the starting value doesn't even matter. only the solution for the remainder, to which you can add the current value
eulerscheZahl: and you didn't delete your code, still visible in the edit history of your post ;)
eulerscheZahl: and when you submit your solution, make sure to have a look at other published C# codes, some are much more compact
Neralem: Omg thanks so much! But I think I have to stare for a little while on your editings :D
eulerscheZahl: take your time. good night
Neralem: good night
eulerscheZahl: also: codejam tomorrow :)
Natorade: hell yeah!! I'm actually on right now to sharpen my skills for the google's codejam, haha, best of luck to all of you competing in the codejam!

NewCoder09: like
NewCoder09: taco Natorade
NewCoder09: but before and after taco you have to put ":"
EleanorJ: Hey all I got a java Binary search/ List/ Generics question
antiwonto: [auto] Hey EleanorJ, here is a :taco: for loggin in today while it is quiet. You now have 1 tacos
Synergyforge: omg I just discovered middle-click-dragging works in this IDE. :D :D :D
Magmi: Добрый день
a-Rye: مساء الخير لكم أيضا!
a-Rye: Lol, google translate is awesome! Good afternoon to you as well!
Magmi: ?
a-Rye: @Eleanorj it's best if you just throw your question out there. If someone thinks they can help, often they'll speak up
a-Rye: مساء الخير لكم أيضا!
== Добрый день
ycsvenom: actually it's really hard to get something right in arabic from translating
a-Rye: Yeah, I'm waiting to see how much is wrong in my OSCS translation I did. I have some Colleagues looking at it soon and they'll let me know how far off Google Translate was
Magmi: just out of curiosity, did this site put sanctions on russia? are people from russia allowed to compete?
a-Rye: I was just speaking with someone from Russia two nights ago? As far as I know, everyone is still welcome here
Westicles: of course they are
Magmi: interesting
Westicles: Founder Codi Ngame spoke about this in her blog, if you read vietnamese
Synergyforge: Wait that's a person's name?!
Synergyforge: Oh. April 1. Gottem.
wlesavo: but tibo actually talked about this
Magmi: many companies sanction russia
Uljahn: and many don't
Magmi: sadly
Uljahn: guess developers are quite welcomed in Europe and brain drain is still a thing
Synergyforge: Saw a video posted recently to Twitter from Kyiv, driving through the streets of a neighborhood, and there are dead bodies everywhere. Looked like they were just murdered in the streets. One was still on a bike, lying on the ground, like he just fell over while riding. Eerie, disgusting stuff/
Magmi: best programmer are born in russia and belarrusiia
Magmi: nobody know why but it may be due to gene hacks
Synergyforge: haha
Magmi: its true
Magmi: best programmer in world is from belarussia
Magmi: and in top 50 there is a lot more
Uljahn: so you want to sanction them to increase your chances, that's smart
Magmi: no i dont want sanctions. i am afraid of my job in europ
Uljahn: just don't be lazy and be competitive [solved]
macobo: Paying taxes within russia literally funds the bombing of cities and killing of ukrainians.
macobo: Very little about competitiveness here - rather, don't cooperate with evil.
Magmi: it was just a question dont need to be so aggressiv
macobo: If you're in russia and you can get out, please do! :) A lot of international companies with russian origins have exited their employees within the last month
Synergyforge: There's not much of a free press in Russia, so many citizens don't even know what to believe.
Westicles: there's not much of a free press anywhere
Synergyforge: The fact that we have right-wing propaganda outlets in the USA proves that we have a free press. Just because we disagree doesn't mean it's evidence of some oppressive state manipulation machine.
Magmi: US is full of left wing propaganda, what does not fit the narrative is censored, most of the vocal individuals are already banned from everywhere
Magmi: massive censorship in US by the tech oligarchs
macobo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
ASM_MOV_INT: every government has classified info
ASM_MOV_INT: propaganda is measured in degrees, not who has it, and who doesn't
ASM_MOV_INT: the only question that matters is: who is my enemy? who is my friend? of course, the broader larger question is: what is truth?
ASM_MOV_INT: my humble opinion
Synergyforge: Magmi What is "leftist propaganda" and where is your evidence of "censorship"?
antiwonto: [auto] Hey Synergyforge, here is a :taco: for loggin in today while it is quiet. You now have 2 tacos
ASM_MOV_INT: "leftist propaganda" means pointing a camera (or phone mic) at something... as in donald trump lol
antiwonto: [auto] Hey ASM_MOV_INT, here is a :taco: for loggin in today while it is quiet. You now have 14 tacos
ASM_MOV_INT: and there are people who actually think there are just 'leftist' scientists now
Girlperson: ?
ASM_MOV_INT: as soon as i heard that i gave up trying to understand.... a pointless exercise
Girlperson: who's talkin bout taco's?
Girlperson: and why lol
ASM_MOV_INT: mmmm tacos
ASM_MOV_INT: type get then taco
Synergyforge: Science, REAL science, is objective and independent of bias. But you won't hear that on Faux Noise. :) Also, I made southwest veggie soup last night and homemade tortilla chips. That's kind of like tacos, right? :)
Girlperson: i love tacos! But what does 14 tacos mean?
Synergyforge: It's just a fun little toy for chat to play with. :D
ASM_MOV_INT: it means i have 14 tacos
Girlperson: wait rly?
Synergyforge: Are there even any tacos on the floor right now?
Synergyforge: get taco
Girlperson: like irl?
Synergyforge: Taco bot is ignoring me. :(
AzrielCodes: hello people
Synergyforge: take taco
antiwonto: [auto] aww, there are no tacos to take
Synergyforge: oops it's take, not get. :P
Synergyforge: Henlo fren
ASM_MOV_INT: my bad sry
AzrielCodes: i have friend???
Synergyforge: <3
Girlperson: Ha that's what u get u don't deserve tacos Synergyforge
AzrielCodes: <3
AzrielCodes: hey that's my new friend
ASM_MOV_INT: you're not quite taco-worthy
Synergyforge: I have one taco though, Girlperson :)
AzrielCodes: don't be mean
Synergyforge: ikr?
Synergyforge: Let's dogpile this meanie. :)
Girlperson: omg i was kidding
AzrielCodes: xD
Girlperson: sry
Girlperson: April fools:joy:
AzrielCodes: you should be
Girlperson: :joy:
AzrielCodes: you're lucky ou can use that as an excuse
Synergyforge: Wow gottem
ASM_MOV_INT: i'm just kidding! :heartpulse:
Girlperson: CAn we all be friens
AzrielCodes: SynergyForge is very taco-deserving
AzrielCodes: more frens??????
Girlperson: Yes ofc
AzrielCodes: yayyyy
ASM_MOV_INT: the world needs more friendly frens to be friends
Girlperson: and sry synergyforge
Girlperson: Yes ur right
AzrielCodes: we are all frens now :)
ASM_MOV_INT: can i give tacos? i have 14
AzrielCodes: my three first friends
AzrielCodes: /me
AzrielCodes: whoah
Wontonimo: what? are me making friends?
**AzrielCodes slaps AzrielCodes around a bit with a large fishbot
Synergyforge: Yes, and then later we are making love. You down? :D :joy:
AzrielCodes: uhhhh
Wontonimo: no
Synergyforge: Wow.
AzrielCodes: i'm not very experienced
AzrielCodes: i'll try my best
Synergyforge: Don't friend Wontonimo. Party pooper over here.
Wontonimo: now that you are friends, start coding. this is a coding chat channel. keep it that way
AzrielCodes: for real
AzrielCodes: awww
The_King_of_Demons: lol
Synergyforge: See? :(
Synergyforge: I was coding before I got distracted by frens. :P
AzrielCodes: same :P
The_King_of_Demons: me too
The_King_of_Demons: :grinning:
AzrielCodes: so coding
AzrielCodes: you guys should run this beautiful piece of java code I have
AzrielCodes: test it out for me
AzrielCodes: it goes a little something like this:
AzrielCodes: public class Hello {
AzrielCodes: dang it
AzrielCodes: nvm
Synergyforge: haha if you copy paste multiple lines, usually it creates a pastebin for you
AzrielCodes: ooooh
AzrielCodes: thanks youuuuu
Synergyforge: np, friend. :)
AzrielCodes: i will go type it somewhere else now :)
Synergyforge: You can shift+enter and it will start a new line
AzrielCodes: ooh
AzrielCodes: i'm pretty dumb XD
AzrielCodes: here:
AzrielCodes: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/93828f07-fe7a-47d3-b43e-4b1671294f89
AzrielCodes: run it on eclipse or something because like online ides can't handle it loll
Wontonimo: why the for loop when you can use a while loop and make it go on forever ?
Wontonimo: :rolling_eyes:
AzrielCodes: yeah but not trying to make it crash crash
AzrielCodes: just do it a bunch :)
AzrielCodes: although
AzrielCodes: i could do
AzrielCodes: Math.pow(Long.MAX_VALUE, 26)
Synergyforge: Eclipse vs IntelliJ. FIGHT!
AzrielCodes: Eclipseeee
AzrielCodes: i use it for uil sooo
AzrielCodes: i'm more used to it
Wontonimo: try this if you want a crash
Wontonimo: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/7454e704-1a34-4ed3-8d11-f0cad9ab9932
AzrielCodes: uh oh
AzrielCodes: that's a mean bit of code my friend
AzrielCodes: no trying to ultimately crash it
Wontonimo: won't take long even ... less than 1,000 loops probably
AzrielCodes: yeah because...
AzrielCodes: message to the power of 1000 xD
Wontonimo: oh, nice catch. i thought you were too noob to notice
AzrielCodes: lol
AzrielCodes: i'm not that noob in java ;)
Wontonimo: if you are not noob, have you tried one of the bot battles?
AzrielCodes: i think so
AzrielCodes: maybe?
Wontonimo: yeah, you are entered into mad pod racing but your score is horrible. you want some tips?
AzrielCodes: i don't remember even doing it xD
Wontonimo: lol, just saw your background pic for your profile
AzrielCodes: teehee
AzrielCodes: lol
AzrielCodes: it took me forever to write that xD
AzrielCodes: but sure i'll take some tips
Wontonimo: well, you made it to wood 2, so you finished the tutorial
Wontonimo: https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/mad-pod-racing/leaderboard?column=keyword&value=AzrielCodes
Synergyforge: I haven't done a challenge yet. Too scared. D:
AzrielCodes: lolll
AzrielCodes: what do you do?
Synergyforge: Still trying to wrap my brain around graph algos
Wontonimo: graph algos? like what?
Synergyforge: nodes and edges
AzrielCodes: i don't really know any names of algorythms
AzrielCodes: i just kinda make it up as i go along :/
Synergyforge: Every job interview asks about them and has you do graph problems. It's super stressful.
Wontonimo: give me an example
AzrielCodes: that sounds rough to be that old ;)
Synergyforge: I went to school for graphic design but now I'm wishing I did computer science. :(
AzrielCodes: i'm gonna go improve my code in the racing thing
Wontonimo: what's a problem you were given in an interview (and btw, congrats on taking it seriously enough to practice now)
Synergyforge: Like, a graph problem is where you have a bunch of pieces of data that can represent something like street addresses or places an AI can walk in a game. You have to figure out something like, find a path from this point to another point.
Wontonimo: GO AzrielCodes GO !
AzrielCodes: whoaaah
AzrielCodes: how did you do that?!?!?!
Wontonimo: do what?
Wontonimo: red text?
Synergyforge: Or like Google Maps finding a route on your GPS. It's constantly solving graph problems.
Synergyforge: AzrielCodes I can do it too :)
AzrielCodes: whaaa
Wontonimo: just use someones name
Synergyforge: It's super secret though
AzrielCodes: whoah
Synergyforge: SSHHH!! DON'T TELL!
Wontonimo: :taco: Synergyforge
antiwonto: [auto] Wontonimo has awarded Synergyforge 3 tacos. Synergyforge now has 5 taco. Wontonimo now has 34 taco
Synergyforge: Daaang! You've made up for your treachery. :)
Wontonimo: for helping to keep the secret secret
**AzrielCodes slaps SynergyForge around a bit with a large fishbot
AzrielCodes: how do you keep this a secret from mineself SynergyForge
Wontonimo: so, is this a graph problem like what you were asked https://www.codingame.com/training/medium/river-crossing Synergyforge
Synergyforge: Hmm... Not sure if that's a graph problem, so much as a logic solving challenge. Wontonimo I was more thinking something like this, which has the added challenge of not knowing what the entire graph looks like before you explore it. https://www.codingame.com/training/hard/the-labyrinth
Synergyforge: So in order to find the shortest path, you have to know all the possible paths
Synergyforge: which means you first have to decide where to start exploring, while avoiding the walls.
AzrielCodes: could you use multithreading?
AzrielCodes: i don't know how that works in other languages
Synergyforge: Not sure what that would gain you for this problem, since each tick, you have to make a move, and you can only move one space at a time. You pick a north, south, east, or west direction, and then you get an updated graph and make another decision based on the new data.
Wontonimo: no, multithreading isn't going to help until you have a good algo
AzrielCodes: oh
Wontonimo: do you know about A* search Synergyforge
AzrielCodes: i see now
Synergyforge: Wontonimo
Wontonimo: and floodfill ?
Wontonimo: that's my name
AzrielCodes: i didn't look at the problem sorry
Synergyforge: Wontonimo I know ABOUT it, but... :P I tried for a while to get it working with that one but I'm just not good enough yet. I had a solution that worked for two of the challenges, but then I abandoned that method.
Wontonimo: okay, can I help you with A* ?
Synergyforge: lul you can try
Wontonimo: cool cool, so I'm guessing you know about queues, arrays, and sorts right?
Synergyforge: I just looked up a couple videos and read some internet posts about it, but this one is tough because I have to decide where to start moving, and then keep trending that direction until I have a better option once I uncover more of the map
Synergyforge: yeah
Wontonimo: okay, so here is A* in a nutshell for a 2d grid
Wontonimo: where movement from 1 square to an adjecent square all costs the same
Synergyforge: I had a heuristic that calculated the distance from where I am to all the connected nodes I can currently see, then I got stuck.
Wontonimo: you have a starting position, and an ending position (x,y)
Synergyforge: yeah that was one thing I was struggling with, picking an ending position, since, technically, it should be one step away since I get a new grid each time
Synergyforge: until I see the goal, like the control room or transporter
Synergyforge: Once I see one of those, I can just plot a path to it
Synergyforge: but I struggled with it for like 3 days before I was like eff it
Synergyforge: kinda new to graphs
Wontonimo: ok
Wontonimo: so, how can i help?
Synergyforge: I dunno, I just feel like I was having difficulty with the implementation.
Wontonimo: A* is like floodfill, except instead of using a stack, you use a sorted queue. As for the details I can help you with it
Wontonimo: ^^ does that make sense?
Synergyforge: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/70bc2dc0-6e5a-4c7b-9b98-5549950571c7
Synergyforge: Guess I typed too much :/
Wontonimo: yup, i read it though
Synergyforge: anyway my brain is foggy right now. I need to go unwind for a bit.
Synergyforge: Not even really sure how to do flood fill
Synergyforge: but I'm gonna go for a little ride on my motorcycle to unwind. If you want, you can message me and I'll see it later... or I'm sure I'll see you around here. :P
Wontonimo: oh, that's a good place to start! It is super useful and really not that hard once you are shown
Synergyforge: yeah I'll try that next
Synergyforge: thanks
Synergyforge: my first implementation, I just got all the '?' on the grid, and went in the direction that most of them were (to my left, right, up, or down) as long as it wouldn't run me into a wall.
Synergyforge: the big empty one, with the control room in the lower right, it went to the middle, and then got stuck there in a loop.
Synergyforge: then I did more of a pathfinding solution, and it got me to the control room and back, and that was one of the ones I was able to pass.
Synergyforge: but it was bad at finding its way through a maze
Synergyforge: Anyway I'll prolly be back on later if you're still willing to give me some hints. :P
Wontonimo: hows the mad pod doing AzrielCodes ?
PainEXE: Anyone mind giving me some feedback on my puzzle? https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/11533e190b55b63be956c0a928a28afdbe6fe thanks
antiwonto: [auto] Hey PainEXE, here is a :taco: for loggin in today while it is quiet. You now have 1 tacos
KalamariKing: interesting hypothesis, however your mother
AzrielCodes: hello
AzrielCodes: i kinda went to go do stuff so yeah
Wontonimo: hey
AzrielCodes: wow you're up?
Wontonimo: yup
AzrielCodes: dang
AzrielCodes: committed
Wontonimo: how's the pod racing going? want more help?
**PatrickMcGinnisII yawns
AzrielCodes: i just started working on it right now
AzrielCodes: it seems like a decently simple challenge
Wontonimo: something easier than distance, is to check your angle
AzrielCodes: just a lot of tweaking to get the right formulas
Wontonimo: if abs(angle) > some_threshold then use thrust of 0
Wontonimo: otherwise thrust 100
AzrielCodes: oh?
Wontonimo: don't need to do distance
AzrielCodes: ok
Wontonimo: yeah, if you are pointed away from the next checkpoint, should you really be thrusting?
AzrielCodes: that is a good point
Wontonimo: :grin:
AzrielCodes: lol thanks
Wontonimo: start with 90
AzrielCodes: as a thrust value?
Wontonimo: max abs(angle)
AzrielCodes: oh
Wontonimo: thust = abs(angle) < 90 ? 100 : 0;
Westicles: pain finally got approved
AzrielCodes: does that if statement work in java?
Wontonimo: i don't know what programming lang you are using. probably javascript
AzrielCodes: i use java right now
Wontonimo: are you doing java now? cuz your original bot is javascriipt
AzrielCodes: i don't think it has shorthand for if statements
AzrielCodes: yeah i switched to java
Wontonimo: yes, java does
AzrielCodes: oh
AzrielCodes: enlighten me please
Wontonimo: it's called a ternary , and most all languages have it
AzrielCodes: i hadn't seen the java version used before to be completely honest
AzrielCodes: does it work like c#?
Wontonimo: here is a code example https://tech.io/snippet/dCz6v7J
AzrielCodes: ok thank you for that
AzrielCodes: it makes coding much easier
AzrielCodes: i hadn't realized java had ternary
AzrielCodes: for if statements
MarvinChen: i want to learn how to code
MarvinChen: is there an easier way
TimberStalker: Than what?
AzrielCodes: codecademyyy
AzrielCodes: that's where all my knowledge comes from
MarvinChen: okay thanks
Wontonimo: practice on your own. start with really easy programs like hello world, and listing prime numbers.
MarvinChen: how would i do that?

AzrielCodes: i like this website a lot because it provides challenging... challenges xD
**PatrickMcGinnisII april fools!
AzrielCodes: PatrickMcGinnisII that's true
Wontonimo: practice those easy programs on your own without internet, without looking at your previous work, without autocomplete until you can do it from memory or understanding.
AzrielCodes: ph
MarvinChen: where can i practice that
AzrielCodes: oh*
that sounds very hardcore
TimberStalker: Im having trouble in The Labyrinth puzzle 05. How do you get from C to the starting point in 42 moves?
Wontonimo: then add a harder program, and repeat, not moving onto a harder program until you can do it from understanding or memory. do it on your computer
Wontonimo: no, not hard AzrielCodes, just takes time. You will learn A LOT ! Like how to fix your own bugs, how to understand large blocks of code quickly, how to remember large blocks of code quickly
AzrielCodes: i take the slower approach xD i mostly do this for fun
Westicles: what language does PatrickMcGinnisII use? oh yeah
Westicles: php
antiwonto: [auto] 'php' was defined as ' A zombie walks into a brain store. On the shelves, a pound of C++ programmers' brain sells for $500, of Java programmers, $1000, and of PHP programmers, $1,000,000. The zombie gets confused and asks the store owner why PHP programmers' brain is so much more expensive. The owner says "do you know how many PHP programmers I kill to get one pound of brain?" '
MarvinChen: what do you mean by hello world?
Wontonimo: print("hello world")
MarvinChen: oh i know that
AzrielCodes: lolll
Wontonimo: thaht's all i mean
AzrielCodes: antiwonto
antiwonto: [auto] 'antiwonto' was defined as ' A bot, possibly assembled in Central America. Programming questionable '
AzrielCodes: that was funny
MarvinChen: i already know how to do print ("hello world")
AzrielCodes: ew python doesn't use semicolons
MarvinChen: what else can i do with it
PatrickMcGinnisII: Westicles has jokes. ;)
Wontonimo: how about printing all the odd numbers from 1 to 100 except numbers that have a "w" in them
MarvinChen: oh i dont know
Wontonimo: there you go, you now have a puzzle
MarvinChen: thanks
MarvinChen: ill try to figure it out now
Wontonimo: OH ! you have submitted your bot AzrielCodes !
AzrielCodes: yes i have
AzrielCodes: just as a test for right now
Wontonimo: it's killing it
AzrielCodes: meh
AzrielCodes: it's pretty bad xD
AzrielCodes: that's the fun part though
AzrielCodes: making it better
Wontonimo: you have been promoted to the next league! what do you mean it is pretty bad?
AzrielCodes: i can see it being much better
AzrielCodes: this was only one line of code
AzrielCodes: i can do better
Wontonimo: you can. i'm so disappointed in you. hang you head in shame
Wontonimo: hehe
AzrielCodes: xD
Wontonimo: do you know about arrays ?
AzrielCodes: yes i do
AzrielCodes: i know most of the basics
Wontonimo: cool, then you could store the checkpoints in an array as you pass them
Wontonimo: and once you see a checkpoint again then you know you have found them all and in order
Wontonimo: ;)
Wontonimo: and with that you could set up better runs with better angles
AzrielCodes: ooohhh
AzrielCodes: very smart
AzrielCodes: i'd mostly just thought of using equations
AzrielCodes: i'm an algebra oriented person lol
Wontonimo: okay, if you'd like to do equations then i've got this for you https://w3.cs.jmu.edu/spragunr/CS354_F17/handouts/pid.pdf
Wontonimo: it's PID controller info. Very equation oriented!
AzrielCodes: thank you so much
Wontonimo: it's fantastic for this kind of challenge
AzrielCodes: you have a wide variety of knowledge
Wontonimo: :grin:
AzrielCodes: loll
Wontonimo: :taco: AzrielCodes
antiwonto: [auto] sorry Wontonimo but you can only award tacos once per day
Wontonimo: :(
AzrielCodes: and you are very amigable
MarvinChen: numbers = list(range(1,100)
for num in numbers:
if num % 2 != 0:
print (num, end = " ")
AzrielCodes: i don't know the word in english
MarvinChen: did i do it?
AzrielCodes: the word is amicable
AzrielCodes: i'm dumb
Wontonimo: nope. That will print number that are spelt with the letter 'w'
MarvinChen: oh yeah i forgot that part
MarvinChen: how would i do that?
Wontonimo: first step in these kinds of problems is thinking of how I, as a human, would go about solving that
MarvinChen: you would have to check each letter in each number from 1 to 100
MarvinChen: actually
Wontonimo: one - no W, three - no W, five ...
MarvinChen: you only have to check the ones with a 2
MarvinChen: so all numbers with a 2 should be excluded from the ouput
Wontonimo: hint, 23 is not okay
MarvinChen: numbers = list(range(1,100)
for num in numbers != 2:
if num % 2 != 0:
print (num, end = " ")
MarvinChen: is there a way to check if a two is included in a number
Wontonimo: i don't know of a language where that code will run
MarvinChen: python
Wontonimo: in python
if "2" in str(num) :
Wontonimo: or
if "2" not in str(num):
MarvinChen: ohh
Wontonimo: for num in range(1,101):
if num%2 == 1 and "2" not in str(num):
print(num)
MarvinChen: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/939ff354-b2ff-4267-b624-8461903a6f04
Wontonimo: nope, your code won't work the way you want it to.
Wontonimo: did you even try running that code?
MarvinChen: nope
MarvinChen: where can i run it
Wontonimo: https://tech.io/snippet?l=python
MarvinChen: oh it showed errors
MarvinChen: your code worked perfectly]
MarvinChen: ill ttyl
MJ_said_hehe: Is there a benefit of sorting a map/dictionary ? The access remains O(1)
