LelouchVC2: Imagine caring about rank
zakacat: take taco
antiwonto: [auto] That taco command has moved to the #taco channel
zakacat: what kinda tacoless bs is this?
zakacat: jk
Husoski: ...presuming "bs" is "brutal sematics", I guess.
zakacat: haha, precisely
LelouchVC2: The hell?
LelouchVC2: BS clearly stands for bachelors of science
LelouchVC2: a tacoless bachelors of science degree is worthless!
zakacat: A tacoless anything is worthless
LelouchVC2: im worthless ? :((
zakacat: I hate to break it to you like this
LelouchVC2: PLEASE
LelouchVC2: I CAN CHANGE
zakacat: obtain
zakacat: more
zakacat: tacos
LelouchVC2: ur killin' me smalls
LelouchVC2: !

TheFlyingdidgeridoo: hello
j4at: Is it allowed to use python golfer in clash ? https://clemg.github.io/pythongolfer/
Mortis_666: yes
TheFlyingdidgeridoo: yessssss
j4at: Well, i never saw someone using it. Which is weird.
Mortis_666: not everyone knows this thing
5DN1L: and those who know do not necessarily want to use it :wink: or show that they have used it
j4at: "or show that they have used it" I would have knew if someone uses it because their solution will be too short. But that probably never happend too me. Unless they intentionally made their solution just short enough to win.
My guess is that no one wants to use because they don't want to ruin the fun for people who don't.
j4at: know about it
5DN1L: Using that shortener doesn't necessarily produce the shortest code
5DN1L: The uncompressed code has to be short in the first place
TheFlyingdidgeridoo: okiiiiiii
TheFlyingdidgeridoo: god is good
5DN1L: coding-related topics only, TheFlyingdidgeridoo
TheFlyingdidgeridoo: your bans will bring you to hell. God will forgive you.
TheFlyingdidgeridoo: if you stop
5DN1L: kicked, next is a ban
Mortis_666: 🤦♂️
Urutar: According to the bible, god would be merciful in either case... but this isn't the place for religion, but code. So please, keep it code related :)
Urutar: Quick question: If I take a certification here and my score is better than 99% of professionals (which basically means I got a perfect score) - what is the point in retaking it?
Urutar: And is there any quest after the one for the collaboration legend level achievement?
SuperDarius: i dont understand a fucking shit man
antiwonto: [auto] SuperDarius be respectful and watch your language
https://www.codingame.com/playgrounds/40701/help-center/code-of-conduct
SuperDarius: this is very complicate
5DN1L: Urutar, nope, and CG did mention that the percentage calculation was bugged and they intended to fix it
SuperDarius: :older_man_tone3:
Leo_Aquinas: is this platform suitable for beginners because i feel like i cant progress at all
5DN1L: not really, it's probably better for you to practise on other websites first, and come back to practise afterwards
5DN1L: to learn* on other
Leo_Aquinas: do u have any recommendations on other beginner sites
Mortis_666: Leo_Aquinas u can try https://www.hackerrank.com/
5DN1L: Leo_Aquinas For python, you may try the links listed on: https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/how-do-i-learn-python-from-this-website/30614
Leo_Aquinas: thx
5DN1L: Urutar my answer to your question 1 can be found about 10 minutes ago, and regarding your question 2, not sure what you mean by "the collaboration legend level achievement"? The quest map shows all the available quests, unlocked or not
MajorKurk: Hey there, i want to try bot combat, do you have recommendation for a starter ?
vZIWild: im pro
alovera: hello
hhuuddoo: alovera juice from wollworths is yummmmm!!
Urutar: 5DN1L Sorry, was afk for a bit, but read your answers - for the first, goddie. The second: when I first started 6 month or so ago I couldn't see all the quests; some were only shown after specific quests were completed (I think)
Urutar: But in any case I'm only missing 1 or 2 quests :D
Urutar: Thanks for you answers :D
5DN1L: np :D
LinhT.Nguyen: so many of the clashes have such ambiguous explanations damn
5DN1L: yeah unfortunately
5DN1L: you can help amend them
LinhT.Nguyen: not good for my impostor syndrome
Urutar: What do you think of my submission for a CoC then?
https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/1684506c8bf0734fd02cb6ef57d463fa8407c
Any ideas for improvements?
LinhT.Nguyen: wow it's actually a great one lol
LinhT.Nguyen: Quite difficult one too, or maybe i'm too noob
Urutar: I put some effort in it and had some great feedback :D
LinhT.Nguyen: damn i am not too damn sure about solving this in less than 5 minutes though
LinhT.Nguyen: but yeah it's a great submission bro
Urutar: Thanks :D
LinhT.Nguyen: lol it's really perfect for a reverse clash, the guy is correct lol
Urutar: You mean the comment from Husoski? Well, I adjusted the submission since then ^^
LinhT.Nguyen: yeah no worries bro it is one of the better ones i've seen for sure thanks for the great clash bro
Urutar: Thanks for the feedback and approval :D
Urutar: Now I need just one more, and the contributor badge will be mine, muhahaha... *ahem*.
Nothing to see here.
LinhT.Nguyen: :joy::joy:
lon_john_ilverjh: how is everyone today?
LinhT.Nguyen: good bro how r u
lon_john_ilverjh: pretty good
LinhT.Nguyen: what u up to today
lon_john_ilverjh: nothing much just doing some programing before I go to work
lon_john_ilverjh: what about you
lon_john_ilverjh: i have 24 years experience of programming but yet the cryptography stumps me
LinhT.Nguyen: damnnn
LinhT.Nguyen: hahahah pretty much everything stumps me lol
lon_john_ilverjh: lol
LinhT.Nguyen: yeah just doing some chill puzzles after work i only have like 2 years of experience lol
HalilUP: can we choose the clash types we want to join
lon_john_ilverjh: i showed my son whos 17, one of the easy ones and he been trying to figure it out since last week
LinhT.Nguyen: haha as long as he enjoys it
LinhT.Nguyen: only thing to do is to make sure he enjoys it
lon_john_ilverjh: oh yea he loves it
lon_john_ilverjh: he loves solving puzzles
LinhT.Nguyen: Halil we can't unless you create a private clash or something im not sure
lon_john_ilverjh: i even make him code puzzles where i make a code and put in some mistakes and he has to find them
LinhT.Nguyen: hahaha good stuff he'll surely find his way
LinhT.Nguyen: getting to enjoy your work to any extent while making decent money is absolutely a bless already i think, he'll do great for sure hahah
Urutar: You can create a private clash :D
kritkode: how do you make puzzles
Urutar: https://www.codingame.com/contribute/community
Urutar: There you can find documentation how to do that and create one :)
TasciBerkan: Does anyone find understanding the description of puzzles harder than the puzzle itself
TasciBerkan: I dont know if it is my problem but I have no issues in similar websites to codingame
5DN1L: depends on which puzzle I guess
ttvzey2: any girls?
5DN1L: don't spam every channel, ttvzey2
Urutar: Well, some descriptions are not as well written as they could be, but most should be alright^^
abt8601: TasciBerkan It's possible that some puzzles have badly written descriptions, yet they pass the community approval for whatever reason
dot.nick: bruh we had numpy available for python3?
5DN1L: yes
5DN1L: have
5DN1L: not just had
dot.nick: and scipy and pandas it says

Go1d: are you guyz all playing Power of Thor Ep1? or is it kinds of random matched chat?
5DN1L: what do you mean?
Uljahn: it's a general chat
Go1d: i see, i just started to playing a game and realized there was a chat next game UI.
5DN1L: ah ok
Urutar: Yeah, it's global - but there is a seperate (group) chat for clashes which opens on joining a clash
derjack: :upside_down:
antiwonto: [auto] ':upside_down:' was defined as ' ɥǝllo '
derjack: :taco: jace
derjack: :taco: jacek
antiwonto: [auto] derjack has awarded jacek 10 tacos. jacek now has 22 taco. derjack now has 50 taco
5DN1L: lucky that there's no jace here? :upside_down:
Urutar: There are some on the floor now :D
Urutar: Mhhhh, floor tacos
Urutar: Whoop whoop, my submission is live, folks! :D

ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/fd8f1c7c-e77a-4240-b0ba-6842d05e64a2
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: ??
5DN1L: What do you want to ask?
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: This game
5DN1L: And your question is...?
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: I put a code saying if enemy1 is closer, print enemy one, otherwise print enemy2
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: it says: Timeout: your program did not provide an input in due time.
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: and that I lose
5DN1L: Which language?
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: but the solution is exactly that
Ayza: If that's the whole code, you didn't read any input
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: this time I did it with PHP
5DN1L: Did you replace the whole code?
Ayza: you're supposed to append that code not replace the whole code with it
5DN1L: or did you just insert the code?
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: in the end yes
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: after this // Enter the code here
5DN1L: before the closing }?
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: sure... I know programming
5DN1L: but the copy/paste code tells you to add newlines too
Astrobytes: ^
5DN1L: your code does not have those newlines
Astrobytes: that's the problem
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: I also try it on C
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: same stuff
5DN1L: Are you copying/pasting the suggested code, or are you writing one by yourself?
Astrobytes: Can you paste your whole code please
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: ok...
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: working now with C
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: but it was not... strangely...
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: this is a very easy program
MSmits: it seems you are switching languages because you think one or the other language doesn't work.
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: should work on firts try
MSmits: All languages work
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: thanks
MSmits: just pick the one you like
Astrobytes: Afternoon MSmits and 5DN1L
MSmits: hi Astrobytes
ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7: sure, but some times it asks for more restrict code on some language
5DN1L: Good afternoon Astrobytes :)
MSmits: it shouldn't matter ThePhantomFirefighter_cdf7
MSmits: if you pick the language you are most familiar with, it will be the right choice
derjack: ohai
MSmits: Astrobytes I have 2 questions about PR2
Astrobytes: go ahead, I'll help if I remember
derjack: and 1 question about pr1/
MSmits: ok, I am wondering, if you lose an owned hex, do you know that you lost it
MSmits: if you dont have sight
Astrobytes: bear with me while I check my code
MSmits: my second question was about symmetric maps, but from checking games it seems some maps are symmetric and some aren't, so i figured that one out
MSmits: seems strange that you get the platinum amount as input since you can't control the buying of pods anyways
Astrobytes: AFAIR yes you know
Astrobytes: the fog will only affect Platinum and enemy PODs
MSmits: it seems i dont know when an opponent captured a neutral hex though
MSmits: the owner stays at -1
MSmits: unless i have sight
MSmits: i dont have a working bot yet, otherwise it would be easy to test
Astrobytes: seems you are correct
MSmits: yeah so you can't even know what you own
MSmits: unless you see it
Astrobytes: No, you know what you own by your units
MSmits: yeah and you can guess where the opponent could have gone with his pods since you last saw them
Astrobytes: Yeah
MSmits: flood-fill style
MSmits: I like this part of the game. Just wondering how make a system for deciding where to send the pods
Astrobytes: Giving me the urge to come back to this game now :D
MSmits: I tend to do that when I ramble on about games :P
Astrobytes: Hungarian method/Kuhn–Munkres
MSmits: where can i find that?
Astrobytes: works well for assigning units iirc
Astrobytes: one of eulers PMs on another game or google, but there's a nice explanation in the PM. I can't remember which contest (clearly a multi-agent one)
MSmits: it's not PR-2. There's 2 reasonably useful PMs, but not that one
MSmits: I don't mind searching for it, there's not many games of this type
Astrobytes: no it isn't PR2, more recent game iirc
MSmits: oh
Astrobytes: https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/a-code-of-ice-fire-feedbacks-and-strategies/105722/18
MSmits: oh that one. Thanks!
MSmits: I got 17th on that one with no clue how to do multi agent stuff
MSmits: I think mostly from the expansion part + the chain ending
Astrobytes: np, I haven't used it myself, but I might come back to PR2 soon
MSmits: Oh he got 4th in that one. Nice one
MSmits: I just doublechecked by hardcoding some moves. Nope you can't see your own hex
MSmits: it shows up as neutral
MSmits: I assume you still get the income
Astrobytes: only if you have units on it
MSmits: you only get the income when you have units on it?
Astrobytes: no I typed that before you added that
MSmits: oh ok
MSmits: you also get your platinum amount as input
MSmits: I guess you can tell from that when you lost a hex with platinum income
MSmits: otherwise i don't even know what the point of that input is
Astrobytes: I remember being confused when I started this too
Astrobytes: But it's been a while
MSmits: Yea, I don't mind re-confusing you.
Astrobytes: :D
Astrobytes: btw, there was an unofficial 'contest' using PR2, forum thread: https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/debriefing-the-unofficial-codingame-contest-platinum-rift-2/185209
MSmits: oh nice find, i will study that too
MSmits: Nerchio added some good info
eulerscheZahl: some comments would be a better fit for the actual game thread not to scatter ideas
Astrobytes: Yeah, he did well in that
MSmits: hey euler
eulerscheZahl: good afternoon
Astrobytes: And true euler, also hi :wave:
MSmits: do you think that Hungarian method/Kuhn–Munkres you used in ice and fire is good for PR-2?
eulerscheZahl: i suggested it to hjax for PR2, he was around rank20 with it at that time
MSmits: sounds good
Astrobytes: hjax used it, it's built in to scipy in python (see the thread I posted, finished 7th)
eulerscheZahl: and kuhn-munkres is even part of the python libraries
Astrobytes: hah!
MSmits: nice
MSmits: I'm using C# for this one though. I don't like python for big programs
MSmits: and it's slower
eulerscheZahl: it was nerchio who got 7th, not hjax
eulerscheZahl: "I came in 7th on the unofficial contest leaderboard, 3rd on the progression leaderboard, and 31st on the multi leaderboard (although a resubmission climbed to 20th this morning)."
Astrobytes: my bad, he was 7th on the unofficial leaderboard
eulerscheZahl: only the multiplayer rank counts :P
MSmits: true
Astrobytes: but it's still effective apparently
eulerscheZahl: that's why i suggested it
MSmits: well it's more effective than nothing for sure. Currently I have nothing. So will give it a shot
eulerscheZahl: sometimes i give good advice. other times i mean it sarcastically and others don't get the joke
eulerscheZahl: once i kept another user busy for 1 or 2 days during the contest to implement something that obviously wouldn't work
MSmits: :grin:
Astrobytes: :rofl:
Astrobytes: it's usually obvious if you take a moment to reflect surely
derjack: such trolling :unamused:
Astrobytes: shush pony
lon_john_ilverjh: is there a list of certification tests?
bollocks32: bean
eulerscheZahl: that would make the certifications even less meaningful, wouldn't it?
derjack: implying they have any meaning now
Urutar: lon_john_ilverjh, you told me my submission is unable to run because of invalid inputs - why is that?
Urutar: Hopefully I'll get an answer at *some* point out of him
Astrobytes: What submission is this?
lon_john_ilverjh: stop spamming me Urutar
Urutar: I'm not? I just asked you questions and you didn't answer... then I stopped writing ya.
Urutar: I'm still curious what the alleged errors are supposed to be, but ehh. If ya don't feel like bothering, no problem^^
JestaBlunt: will that entry code puzzle be available afterward? i missed the start
Astrobytes: Yes.
Astrobytes: The puzzles chosen are not new, they're existing puzzles.
Olgii: hi
ZndrBrok: Urutar
ZndrBrok: Why i can't find anymore your submission ?
eulerscheZahl: because it got approved
eulerscheZahl: https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/1684506c8bf0734fd02cb6ef57d463fa8407c
ZndrBrok: Nice !
ZndrBrok: Urutar, reason more to ignore people who say things about your submissions and ignore u later :P
ZndrBrok: I love this submission
ZndrBrok: Even if for a noob like me, it's more a puzzle :P
struct: I still feel its a bit hard to tell whats happening on backgammon
antiwonto: [auto] Hey struct, here is a :taco: for loggin in today while it is quiet. You now have 24 tacos
struct: maybe its the animatons
Kaique69: Hello
eulerscheZahl: just take the CG reverse game as a reference and don't describe the rules at all
jacek: what happened on backgammon, stays on backgammon
jacek: :taco: Automaton2000
antiwonto: [auto] That's a bot. Bots don't eat tacos
Automaton2000: i need some help with the power of thor
struct: I never read backgammon rules
struct: I played a few games and it was simple to understand
struct: maybe the referee might be wrong
eulerscheZahl: that's not a problem when you invent your own games
jacek: or when you have hardcore board games testers
struct: good things there were bots ready
struct: thing*
struct: I need to ask Scarfiled if in this case https://i.imgur.com/TiKSqo3.png , black just rolled, he cant play dice 6 first right?
Guya-samaa: hi is there a documentation for contributions i wanna look up how to highlight variables
[R-e-d-n-i-n-j-a]: hi
Ayza: yes, there should be a "?" sign next to any of the required fields when creating a contribution
Ayza: should have everything you need
Guya-samaa: thank you that helps a lot :)
Ayza: np
jacek: :tada:
Wontonimo: when was clash of code introducted to coding game? anyone remember?
eulerscheZahl: long before I registered, Wontonimo
Wontonimo: :taco: eulerscheZahl
antiwonto: [auto] Wontonimo has awarded eulerscheZahl 3 tacos. eulerscheZahl now has 38 taco. Wontonimo now has 4 taco
jacek: coal powered computers era?
Wontonimo: most computers are coal powered in the USA
Wontonimo: oh, i'm wrong. It's only about 18% coal power now in USA
jacek: so, steam-powered
Wontonimo: facts
abt8601: But damn, US has 20% renewable now
Wontonimo: if only they hadn't sold all their water mining rights to bottling companies
Wontonimo: and in completely unrelated news~ , what's with all the sink holes in the USA. It's as if something below the surface is being removed at an alarming rate
Wontonimo: wait ... what if the two were related ... nah, the environmental protection agency would have done something about that right? :rolling_eyes:
PatrickMcGinnisII: Hey
PatrickMcGinnisII: you know I live in Fl right?
PatrickMcGinnisII: sinkhole central
PatrickMcGinnisII: coal ppowered
PatrickMcGinnisII: right wing garbage governor
PatrickMcGinnisII: I have my own water well
PatrickMcGinnisII: water quality has decided declined in 40 yrs, because aquifer is being depleted
PatrickMcGinnisII: decidedly
PatrickMcGinnisII: I've been fighting for super trains and thorium nuclear ... no one cares
PatrickMcGinnisII: EPA is garbage on both sides of the coin, they don't protect anything except profits, and if you want to do anything that messes with profits...u can't do it. new companies can't do it, etc. etc. etc.
PatrickMcGinnisII: US Corps of engineers have messed up fl water ways
PatrickMcGinnisII: Lake Okeechobee should be a paradise, it's a cesspool of chemical runoff
PatrickMcGinnisII: Big Sugar, Big Energy, Privatization interests, and police state mentality run Fl
PatrickMcGinnisII: ok, I'll shut up Wontonimo
jacek: oO
PatrickMcGinnisII: Modern Slavery is real Yo
jacek: right Automaton2000
Automaton2000: nice to have a good eval
PatrickMcGinnisII: I own my house, but pay 3k in taxes for it/yr. That's like paying rent. everything is expensive. Food,gas,licenses, taxes, utilities. you know I pay 3x what u prolly do for internet
**PatrickMcGinnisII is a free elf
PatrickMcGinnisII: https://www.gaia.com/article/13-signs-you-are-an-indigo-child
PatrickMcGinnisII: ok class is over, test tomorrow
bingler: im an indigo child
**PatrickMcGinnisII pokes Automaton2000
Automaton2000: you don't have enough time to finish it in time
bingler: my skin is purple
Wontonimo: I'd give you a taco PatrickMcGinnisII , but I have no more to give
PatrickMcGinnisII: I'd settle for a better nodecount in DAWG puzzle
BJD: :taco: PatrickMcGinnisll
derjack: oO
Wontonimo: taco bot is broken ;(
Wontonimo: wth, it didn't listen to me earlier either
PatrickMcGinnisII: Didn't pay your bot taxes
Wontonimo: it's running. please try again BJD
PatrickMcGinnisII: :taco: BJD
antiwonto: [auto] PatrickMcGinnisII has awarded BJD 6 tacos. BJD now has 11 taco. PatrickMcGinnisII now has 18 taco
Wontonimo: oh, okay, weird
BJD: :taco: PatrickMcGinnisII
antiwonto: [auto] BJD has awarded PatrickMcGinnisII 10 tacos. PatrickMcGinnisII now has 28 taco. BJD now has 12 taco
Wontonimo: i didn't do anything. so strange
PatrickMcGinnisII: it's too busy bitcoin mining
Wontonimo: tru
BJD: i did 2 L's not 2 i's
Wontonimo: [tab] does autocomplete for names BJD
BJD: oh ok
PatrickMcGinnisII: ²
Wontonimo: i feel like you are whispering numbers, kinda scary
PatrickMcGinnisII: I'm Pat² ... should change my name
bingler: did god write the universe in python
Wontonimo: which god? Thor? Gia? the nameless god, or some other?
Wontonimo: I think Thor would have used COBOL
Wontonimo: the nameless god would have used brainf*ck
bingler: whichever one created this universe
j4at: I used C
bingler: so ur saying black holes could be caused by integer overflow errors
j4at: yes, that's why I limited speed of light
j4at: to 10% of int32 max value
Wontonimo: what makes you think this universe wasn't a group project?
Wontonimo: how did I get roped into this conversation? I guess I'm just chatty today...
j4at: It's too easy to be a group project
Wontonimo: lol
Wontonimo: maybe it was a kindergarten arts-and-crafts for demi-gods
Wontonimo: anyway
Wontonimo: how about those ranks j4at and bingler? you two are not in the top 4000 yet
Wontonimo: have you tried a multi or optimization ?
bingler: I only play clash of code on here
j4at: I don't care about my rank to be real
j4at: I play clash most of the time too
Wontonimo: that won't get your rank any higher bingler nor stretch your skills
j4at: Im working on spider attack AI too
Wontonimo: this last multi called spider attack was fun
bingler: I have other sites I use for doing problems but I appreciate the advice Wontonimo
Wontonimo: you can get pretty far by downloading the starter AI and simply sorting the monsters by distance to your base
j4at: It will get top spot :relieved:
j4at: nocap :3
Wontonimo: I don't see you on the leaderboard j4at , have you submitted anything yet?
j4at: Nope, doing everything offline
Wontonimo: are you using brutaltester or something similar?
j4at: I'm using brutaltester yep
Astrobytes: it might be advisable to pass to bronze at least in the meantime
Astrobytes: Also, hello
Scarfield: oi
jacek: lul
Wontonimo: agreed, rules change up to bronze
j4at: I already know all rules
Astrobytes: yeah but they're not the same up to bronze
Astrobytes: so your bot will crash
j4at: i know all rules of all leagues
Astrobytes: if you try to use spells
Astrobytes: ok, fine. It would just save you a lot of trouble writing different code for 3 leagues
Astrobytes: or 2 leagues, whatever it is
Wontonimo: he knows all the rules
Wontonimo: ;)
jacek: because he reads statements?
eulerscheZahl: there was a guy knowledgeable in "almost alll[sic] languages"
jacek: W?
eulerscheZahl: no, i think it was before your time
eulerscheZahl: found him https://www.codingame.com/profile/9b6f917d8ba745e1194e9922b5ef3dd67406451
Astrobytes: "Pythons"
eulerscheZahl: py2 and 3 maybe?
Scarfield: parselmouth
eulerscheZahl: swifts too
Astrobytes: Possible yet unlikely
Astrobytes: So he's into ornithology and herpetology
eulerscheZahl: but he left years ago
Astrobytes: (birds and snakes, respectively if you were wondering)
Astrobytes: was he actually expert in all of these languages?
Westicles: lanfeust is the real deal though. he has solved every puzzle and no overlap in languages
eulerscheZahl: yes, i noticed. also the extremely hard ones like freecell
cristhianrzl: sup nerds!!
Wontonimo: thanks! I haven't been complemented in the last hour. You are you fellow nerd?
jacek: is Automaton2000 nerd?
Automaton2000: i think the time is up
Wontonimo: :taco: Automaton2000
antiwonto: [auto] Sorry but you can only award tacos once per day
Automaton2000: i think u need to somehow improve your condition of when to "bank"
Scarfield: Automaton2000 can i take my :taco:s to the bank
Automaton2000: will have to be careful
Wontonimo: yeah, don't drop them on the floor
Scarfield: oof would spark a riot
Scarfield: or a shakedown
SriniV: oh
SriniV: what are tacos
Scarfield: SriniV :taco:
antiwonto: [auto] Scarfield has awarded SriniV 1 tacos. SriniV now has 1 taco. Scarfield now has 29 taco
SriniV: what does that do
SriniV: Taco
SriniV: @taco
Scarfield: #Taco
SriniV: #taco
SriniV: #Taco
SriniV: ?
Scarfield: click it, its a gimmick on the chat, basicly silly currency for fun with no other use than being silly
Wontonimo: that's 100% accurate
Astrobytes: Definitely an amusing distraction
Scarfield: one day you will make a crypto taco wonto :p
Wontonimo: hey, I've meant to thank you Astrobytes for the inspiration. It all started with your :taco: gifts
Astrobytes: :grin:
Scarfield: xD
Astrobytes: No thanks required ;)
Scarfield: only :taco:
Astrobytes: heh heh indeed :D
Astrobytes: Great idea though. Non Fungible Taco
Scarfield: "rubbing thumb against index and middle finger gesture"
Astrobytes: Oh. Taco Bell has one.
Scarfield: lul seriously?
Astrobytes: Yeah, just googled it
Scarfield: :rofl:
Scarfield: too late wonto
Astrobytes: Never too late. Just has to be a better one. Bigger, even. The biggest and bestest non-fungible taco there is. So big and best you will be unable to comprehend it :P
Scarfield: people tell me its the best, smart people.
Astrobytes: :rofl:
struct: Hi Scarfield
struct: I have a backgammon question
Scarfield: le yo
Scarfield: sure
struct: Black just rolled and its his turn to play
struct: https://i.imgur.com/TiKSqo3.png
struct: He must play dice 4 first right_
struct: *?
Scarfield: no i dont think so, havent played for a long time though, can check. but c19 can move 4 and 6 first, then c19 4
Scarfield: you cant move c21 with a 4 though, since c19 has pieces.
struct: How will I code this
struct: yeah
Scarfield: hmm
Scarfield: its only legal to move out with an exact dice hit if there are pieces on cells further away
struct: The problem here is that you still have another dice
struct: Imo you should move the dice 4 first
Scarfield: if there are no pieces further away, and dice >= to cells from home can move a piece out
Scarfield: its not the way the rules work, but you are the creator
struct: I know the end result ends up being the same
Scarfield: not if there were only 1 piece on c19
struct: yeah
Scarfield: hmm in that case actually yes
Scarfield: hmm true, i cant see a problem here actually
Scarfield: no if there is 1 piece on c19, a 6 will get it home, then a 4 will get a piece from c21 home
struct: I got this rule wrong then
struct: Because I force the player to play dice 4 first
Scarfield: sorry im tired
jacek: hello tired, im jacek
Scarfield: not dad o0
struct: ok I dont think I need to change much
struct: I just need to check highest dice instead of lowest
Scarfield: i think the simplest way to explain the end game dice/move rules are something like this:
for any piece that has pieces further away from home, you can only move it <= its cell count away from home
Scarfield: if no pieces behind a dice >= its cells from home, it gets out
struct: thanks for explaining
struct: lol ludii backgammon doesnt even have this rule
struct: it just doesnt let you move
Scarfield: you have to hit exact dice rolls?
struct: yeah lol
jacek: i wonder if this is any of use for meh https://github.com/dellalibera/gym-backgammon
struct: if (highest_dice >= highest_piece)
struct: this sounds right Scarfield?
struct: I had if (lowest_dice >= highest_piece)
Scarfield: i dont know how you are implementing it, you mean "if (highest_dice >= highest_piece)" move this first?
struct: I think it works
struct: good enoguh
struct: I dont check highest dice now
struct: I check for each dice
struct: if its higher than the highest piece that it can score
Scarfield: good, thats the best, you can get in tricky situations, where there is only really one good move
Scarfield: https://imgur.com/a/d3UWRno
Rafarafa: if f is a boolean, f=1-f is not just f=~f? (python)
struct: 4C18 and then score with C19?
Scarfield: something like this situation, white has a piece "dancing", moving 4 from c18, then 6 from c19 is the only good thing to do
Scarfield: exactly yea :)
struct: brb
Scarfield: xD
jacek: :upside_down:
antiwonto: [auto] ':upside_down:' was defined as ' ɥǝllo '
jacek: apparently fox already has implemented bot
jacek: but in this situation didnt print action https://i.imgur.com/RmO18Sy.png
jacek: (white)
Ayza: Rafarafa, true = 1 and false = 0
Ayza: so if f==True then f-1 = 0
Ayza: hope thats what you mean
struct: How many more bugs did I create just now
Ayza: nvm, pretty sure thats not what you meant you know that already if you did 66 py puzzles
Darleanow: Hey every1
LelouchVC2: how many bugs did u want to create?
struct: yes
struct: Scarfield do you have any link describing this rule?
struct: I cant find anything mentioning this
Scarfield: will look for it now
Scarfield: https://imgur.com/a/Lm4TvJX
Scarfield: https://www.bkgm.com/rules.html under "bearing off"
struct: thanks
Scarfield: np :) going afk though
struct: cya
Scarfield: cya, might be back later, but probably not
droopy123: Yo
PatrickMcGinnisII: How come i can print International chars, but not Ord them
jacek: utf16?
PatrickMcGinnisII: basic mb_internal_encoding is UTF-8
PatrickMcGinnisII: I was able to setup a BASE52 encoding scheme before, php only handles base32. but I don't see why I can't use strings of utf chars to store larger numbers
PatrickMcGinnisII: they chr, but won't ord
jacek: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8600552/python-get-character-code-in-different-encoding
PatrickMcGinnisII: hmm, wait a minute...might be working somehow... ahh phpwants them in arrays strings
jacek: oh you mean php not python/
Astrobytes: PHP == Please Help Patrick
Husoski: PatrickMcGinnisII Could this be what you need? https://www.php.net/manual/en/intlchar.ord.php
PatrickMcGinnisII: $a=IntlChar::ord($s[$i]);
PatrickMcGinnisII: yes been doing it
PatrickMcGinnisII: lol Astrobytes
Astrobytes: :grin:
PatrickMcGinnisII: an array of utf characters isn't efficient
Husoski: The docs *say* it's supposed to work.
struct: **php ins't**
struct: isn't
PatrickMcGinnisII: yes you just can't take a string "ȚțȜȝȞȟȠȡȢȣȤȥȦȧȨȩ" and get the ord values
PatrickMcGinnisII: has to be array ['T', ... etc.
PatrickMcGinnisII: and the way php stores arrays, forget about it
PatrickMcGinnisII: a:16:{i:0;s:2:"Ț";i:1;s:2:"ț";i:2;s:2:"Ȝ";i:3;s:2:"ȝ";i:4;s:2:"Ȟ";i:5;s:2:"ȟ";i:6;s:2:"Ƞ";i:7;s:2:"ȡ";i:8;s:2:"Ȣ";i:9;s:2:"ȣ";i:10;s:2:"Ȥ";i:11;s:2:"ȥ";i:12;s:2:"Ȧ";i:13;s:2:"ȧ";i:14;s:2:"Ȩ";i:15;s:2:"ȩ";}
PatrickMcGinnisII: strings seem the only way to pseudo direct mem access
PatrickMcGinnisII: I'm losing my mind
PatrickMcGinnisII: I need the power of C++
struct: hmm can't help my php knowledge is not a lot
PatrickMcGinnisII: tx for trying, laterz peepz
PatrickMcGinnisII: $s[]=IntlChar::chr($i); works
PatrickMcGinnisII: $s.=IntlChar::chr($i); converts it
PatrickMcGinnisII: i guess
PatrickMcGinnisII: wierd
jacek: happy friday the 13th
PatrickMcGinnisII: oh no tomorrow is my anniversary with the GF
PatrickMcGinnisII: yup, laterz
