Husoski: SubZeRoy9 Nobody's answered in over an hour, so maybe you're not interested anymore...but a small if statement will work for Mars Lander 1. Think about controlling your maximum downward speed (see the problem statement).
eulerscheZahl: "proper way", how do you define that. there are search algorithms used too. but that's more interesting for the optim version of mars lander
VizGhar: If "big if statement" solves the problem and you even get those economical achievements, then if statement is way to go for sure
jacek: happy Caturday
NewCoder09: can anyone help me with mars lander episode 2?
VizGhar: One hour and still no question asked :P
weebiss: ...
jacek: :upside_down:
weebiss: oh hi
weebiss: hii
weebiss: anyone??
Kokoz: hello :)
weebiss: hi
vaeng: Is there a way to use Fortran in codingame?
Kokoz: I dont know what Fortran is :/
weebiss: Whats that
vaeng: A pretty old programming language that is used a lot for scientific programming
weebiss: Ahh i see
vaeng: Weather forecast, fluid simulation, ...
weebiss: :thinking:
weebiss: ok
jacek: you can make a request on forum to add this futuristic language
Westicles: vaeng, you can get to it through bash but otherwise no
HoneyGlazedGherkinsEggTartare: Fortran implementations are often faster than C++ implementations.
Westicles: it is already installed, it comes free with g++. should be easy for them to add
HoneyGlazedGherkinsEggTartare: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20180000413/downloads/20180000413.pdf
Westicles: how do you figure out if you should score or block in counting tictactoe?
weebiss: hii im back
jacek: Westicles do the mirror thing and youre good to go
Westicles: what's the mirror thing?
jacek: https://forum.codingame.com/t/community-puzzle-counting-tictactoe/192910/7
Westicles: hmmm, well drawing every game doesn't seem to be a good strategy to get to wood1
eulerscheZahl: funny that it still hasn't been dealt with
jacek: :rage:
jacek: so simple https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/aOQPrZN_460svav1.mp4

Huy31: go go go
Uljahn: pls post clash invites on the #clash channel, not here, thanks
Chrimle: I've not received my certification test results. How do I solve this?
Uljahn: DM [CG]Thibaud or wait till monday
VizGhar: somebody asked similar on discord (without response)
jacek: on friday? :thinking:
Uljahn: somebody with same nick
jacek: woah
VizGhar: :grimacing:
Passifi: You know, these are holidays in the civilized world, you wouldn't expect your swedish staff to work on walpurgis night would you ?
VizGhar: Quite offen
Chrimle: What's that supposed to mean? There are plenty of people working on christmas eve, and new years eve etc. Sweden may have a bunch of christian holidays, but not many are actually christians. I won't assume anything about anyone's work schedule. I encounter a problem, I report about a problem. No matter which day it is.
jacek: :+1:
jacek: but theyll probably fix it on monday
Chrimle: Let's hope so! :slight_smile:
VizGhar: And he asked on chat and discord... those are proper channels of communication even during holidays :P Try to call them :S
Chrimle: :sweat_smile:
VizGhar: Heh... I got to gold in mad pod racing even without any steering implementation and looking just one turn ahead...
jacek: you only need -3vel for gold
VizGhar: -3vel?
Uljahn: target - 3*Velocity
VizGhar: First time I see this :D
jacek: oO
Uljahn: rly?
VizGhar: yeah... but to be honest I was too lazy to search through whole forum
VizGhar: Bunch of guys unable to read inputs :|
VizGhar: for legend it is GA/SA/NN ?
jacek: GA/SA
jacek: but probably some bunch of ifs is sufficient
jacek: NN is for the top of the tops
VizGhar: I can't do NNs :) I'm too lazy for this and not very confident
VizGhar: * not confident at all
VizGhar: With SA I'm always struggling with initial temperature, if you guys have any resources on that
jacek: i never done SA
Uljahn: guess your GA in the search race has some SA flavor
VizGhar: Understandable... I want to try it. It is much faster then GA but boy it's random :P
jacek: SA flavor?
Uljahn: like decreasing mutation range
jacek: oh
Uljahn: it's basically an analogy of SA temperature
jacek: i just dont know anything about SA sane hyperparameteres
Uljahn: VizGhar: SA is random, but not so random as MC, i think SA and GA are just trying to guide randomness
Murat_Eroglu: Excuse my ignorance but what is SA and MC ?
jacek: simulated annealing. monte carlo
Murat_Eroglu: Thanks
VizGhar: I'll have to create my own pit for testing parameters :D Is brutaltester helpful in any way here?
VizGhar: I've used it once and It was a bit painful
VizGhar: BTW explain to me the "target - 3*Velocity" again
speed = distancefromtarget -3*velocity?
VizGhar: (I'm not thinking right now)
jacek: target = target checkpoint - 3 * your pod velocity
HoneyGlazedGherkinsEggTartare: go clash
CodiNaruto: hey, I am trying to get the success in which you have to get 5 upvote on a contribution. Could you look at what I did ? https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/145357388aea5f97a134ed41372fab3fc575a
VizGhar: cant you just wait day or two? :|
CodiNaruto: of course :)
Mortis_666: bruh i joined a clash and left it, but it doesnt remove me from the clash, drop so much rank :(
Uljahn: VizGhar: https://i.imgur.com/HyCgPxh.png
VizGhar: Uljahn :pray:
VizGhar: It's nice that you don't need physics if you have computational power :D
Uljahn: actually i have some simplified simulation (ignoring collisions) to do some bruteforce above -3Vel heuristic
VizGhar: for opponent prediction?
VizGhar: or for your own?
omylist: may i know where can find people join coding escape for beginner ?
jacek: try discord
omylist: which channel should use ?
jacek: coding-escape
omylist: trying
omylist: and thanks
jacek: :+1:
Sarstan: What's coding escape?
jacek: https://www.codingame.com/cooperate
Sarstan: Oh, I never checked out the cooperate tab, lol.
JakeXS: how do u get a pro account ?
jacek: i think its for companies only
JakeXS: ;(
eulerscheZahl: some are free for everyone to play
ForRest_dev: guys, I am new here so I am a bit confused, where I can start learning some useful staff
ForRest_dev: I saw there was some kind of a game here or was it just an advertising like this?
jacek: probably this https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/mad-pod-racing
VizGhar: You won't learn basics here if that's what you are asking...
eulerscheZahl: "where I can start learning some useful staff"
Thibaud is the most useful staff member for starters. jupoulton for SDK questions
jacek: and whos the best for banning?
VizGhar: EU ;)
TheRipperJack: guys, im working on a problem. my console output , standart output stream shows the correct answer but it says failure "Found: Nothing".
VizGhar: endline?
TheRipperJack: oh yes thank you
a-Rye: ForRest_dev try Activities -> Learn. Then, try Activities -> Practice -> Easy Puzzles or Activities -> Compete -> Clash of Code
freshskates: anyone here from sunnyvale?
Passifi: Man, in general I like really like coding in c++ but whenever a puzzle has intensive parsing it just becomes a nightmare :scream:
VizGhar: understandable :)
VizGhar: but if you reach hard/veryhard puzzles or bot programming, you will be grateful for c++ again
eulerscheZahl: no, i'll just stick with C#
eulerscheZahl: i'm too stubborn
Passifi: is working with strings better in c# ?
eulerscheZahl: yes, it's easier to code
jacek: ill stick to C char array
Westicles: :taco: BlaiseEbuth
Wontonimo: hey VizGhar , if you are are still around and want to know about the -3v thing, here is the best (and easiest) paper I've found to date that explains why https://w3.cs.jmu.edu/spragunr/CS354_F17/handouts/pid.pdf
Wontonimo: it is the same concept that is used for cruise control in cars, basic auto pilot, and tuning shocks in cars.
Wontonimo: and basic AM radio receiver.
Wontonimo: and a lot more applications
jacek: AM radio receiver :older_man:
Wontonimo: it's also in FM but it's not as obvious, as it is kinda mixed in with the extra complications of frequency modulation
SubZeRoy9: Oh crap. I accidentally registered for the bot programming challenge thinking it was a game mode... I hardly know how to do if statements!
jacek: oh my
Wontonimo: no prob. there is no cost or penalty for not competing SubZeRoy9
AlexYankouski: is it possible to join just short mode clashes?
jacek: no
AdemDj12: hey
Passifi: Good Evening Good Sir/Ma'am/them
Shadman_Shariar: Hello everyone...
Kaelidian: VizGhar
Kaelidian: MY NEMESIS

__Zaax__: does anyone know how score is calculated in CoC rank ?
jacek: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueSkill
__Zaax__: thx !
ASM_MOV_INT: yes, just join clashes and quit until you find one you like
ytaya: hey
ytaya: how can i know the clash is souther or faster ?
Passifi: if it has a distinct drawling sound to it its southern else its faster
Tommyyy: who likes flutter?
ASM_MOV_INT: short mode, fast mode, reverse mode
ASM_MOV_INT: the mode is listed next to the timer
ASM_MOV_INT: once it starts.... in the top left
ASM_MOV_INT: :wink:
piremsema: hii everyone! what's the deal with clash of code events? are they any different from usual clashes?
elijahstorm: Tommyyy flutter is dope

puppydytt: Hi everyone! I've got trouble, all tests passing but when i press submit the site says that I have 1 incorrect but I fiexd it. I reloaded page but result still same
puppydytt: Admins?
ycsvenom: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/4fefb8ab-2aac-416b-aa16-8a24e24f17ad
ycsvenom: Thibaud there is [Shortest ,Fastest ,Reverse] modes in CoC ,why don't you add [Performance] mode
a mode that will give the player 15 mins as usual but the most optimal and fastest code will win
and it's measured in nanoseconds
grahamcracker1234: that would make all interpreted languages obsolete
ycsvenom: it will be a huge upgrade for the platform
ycsvenom: i know
but no problem
ycsvenom: like in shortest
it made all compiled languages obsolete
grahamcracker1234
grahamcracker1234: i suppose that's fair
puppydytt: The following validators differ from the puzzle test cases to prevent hard coded solutions. This is why you can have some fails here even if all of the tests provided in the IDE have been successfully passed
puppydytt: what does it mean?
BobLob: Perl and BASH would like to have a word about shortest
BobLob: ( at least in regards to interpreted languages )
ycsvenom: puppydytt
there are always n*2 testcases for all problems
n visible in the ide and n behind the scene testcases
ycsvenom: if you manage to solve all the n visible ones it didn't mean that you solved the problem
it just means that you solved half the problem
ycsvenom: your code should be able to fit all testcases
ycsvenom: to assure that you didn't provide the answers of testcases explicitly
grahamcracker1234: sometimes testcase validators are poorly made tbf
grahamcracker1234: at least on coc ones
ycsvenom: that's very possible
don't forget that some human made it
Darleanow: HEY EVERYONE
missed y'all
Gilel: wahoo
Gilel: :apple:
ruggedcabbage: @grahamcracker1234 you play some crazy games and your code is near perfect everytime, how many YOE do you have?
grahamcracker1234: haha thanks for the compliments
grahamcracker1234: I started programming when I was 11, but I only started taking it seriously when I was like 13-14 im 20 now so hopefully that explains it
grahamcracker1234: as for ruby, i learned it specifically for coc, but i've fallen in love with it. I probs have maybe a little under a year of experience with it
Ducks404: when you decided to take it seriously, what did you do?
weebiss: ...
