TheDayIsMyEnemy: Mad
TheDayIsMyEnemy: where is everyone:X
TheDayIsMyEnemy: eulerscheZahl hi
Gorbit99: probably asleep
TheDayIsMyEnemy: I remember before there were so many people
Gorbit99: most people here it seems are european
TheDayIsMyEnemy: not really .. at least before :D
eulerscheZahl: so, where have you been?
eulerscheZahl: maybe the others are there right now
TheDayIsMyEnemy: here it is.. the champion
TheDayIsMyEnemy: eulerscheZahl when #1 lul
TheDayIsMyEnemy: nice :D
TheDayIsMyEnemy: I missed so many things
eulerscheZahl: a few months ago when CG changed the ranking formula
eulerscheZahl: and i got a ban hammer
eulerscheZahl: meanwhile it seems we lost MadKnight
TheDayIsMyEnemy: I got almost 2 levels from the quest map :D
Gorbit99: oh, I remember madknight
Gorbit99: he was the one who totally didn't show me the secret csb formula
TheDayIsMyEnemy: he was always here before
TheDayIsMyEnemy: spamming :D
eulerscheZahl: he did NOT?
Gorbit99: never, why would he even do such a thing
eulerscheZahl: one day I changed my nickname as AutomatonNN kept pinging me
AutomatonNN: what is the most problem with the same code?
eulerscheZahl: MK thought I was new and sent me a private message to tell me about CSB
Gorbit99: 😂
TheDayIsMyEnemy: Hahaha
Gorbit99: you ain't escaping
eulerscheZahl: kept him busy for 20min
then I got bored and told him that I just promoted to legend
Gorbit99: is there a way to just test a contribution in the ide with the testcases I create, or should I just use rextester for that?
Gorbit99: I worded that wrong
Gorbit99: a contribution I'm creating
Gorbit99: that's an important part
eulerscheZahl: simple one or interactive?
Gorbit99: interactive
Gorbit99: probably
Gorbit99: basically just having the same thing as a normal puzzle would be alright
eulerscheZahl: then you run it offline. not sure is cg shows validators now
Gorbit99: does
Gorbit99: it shows them until the contrib is accepted
eulerscheZahl: then upload as private and mess around
eulerscheZahl: or is there a misunderstanding between us?
Allis: Are you worried that your tests are dependent upon how CG actually feeds input to the program or something?
Gorbit99: basically I want a simple way to develop the solution
eulerscheZahl: unrelated: beside test.html there is stub.html and statement.html
there existence is poorly documented so i'm telling you here
Gorbit99: that's about it
eulerscheZahl: there are test files like test1.json, test2.json right?
eulerscheZahl: you can set them in the test/Main.class for offline play
eulerscheZahl: or you upload the contribution and play on CG directly
Gorbit99: it's just a simple in/out puzzle
eulerscheZahl: you just said it's interactive
Gorbit99: I didn't know what you meant
eulerscheZahl: :D
Gorbit99: what would interest me, is what are the differences between the individual contrib types?
eulerscheZahl: then I think you save the contribution and just execute it. I've never done this myself
Gorbit99: I get coc, multiplayer and optimization
eulerscheZahl: and 3 others?
Gorbit99: but what's the difference between solo game and in/out?
Gorbit99: blog article I also get
eulerscheZahl: in/out is the one you are doing. similar to clash of code
eulerscheZahl: for the solo puzzle you upload a zip file with the game
eulerscheZahl: that's an animated one
eulerscheZahl: multiplayer and optim are zip files too
Gorbit99: a
Gorbit99: h
eulerscheZahl: you could open a game on github (most contributions have a link to the repo), just download it as a zip and upload it on CG.
eulerscheZahl: for the classic in/out puzzle I think you have to enter everything manually
Gorbit99: does solo puzzle also have to be a strict "test case input -> output", or can you write validator code for that?
eulerscheZahl: strict text comparison
Gorbit99: alright
eulerscheZahl: very limited
Gorbit99: yeah, that's my issue
eulerscheZahl: you could just make it an interactive one and kill the viewer if you don't need it :D
eulerscheZahl: or you find a nice graphical representation, i don't know the problem you are designing
Gorbit99: it would have a nice graphical representation
Gorbit99: I assume there's a blog post about interactive puzzles, or some wiki link
eulerscheZahl: great, then make it interactive :)
eulerscheZahl: https://www.codingame.com/playgrounds/25775/codingame-sdk-documentation/introduction
the basics
Gorbit99: thanks
Gorbit99: time to brush off my java
eulerscheZahl: and just open some games that you like and that have animations. to see how it's done there
Gorbit99: thanks a lot
eulerscheZahl: and ask here or on discord when you are stuck. some players have messed with the SDK already
Gorbit99: eg you
eulerscheZahl: yes :P
eulerscheZahl: from my experience making/finding appealing graphics is the hardest part
Gorbit99: gf is an artist, hopefully, if all goes well, I can just ask her nicely enough
eulerscheZahl: :D
aCat: morning all
aCat: I updated samegame
aCat: and just noticed that before update
aCat: it warked as A*craft regarding puzzlespamming
aCat: hx for the hint euler
eulerscheZahl: oh :(
aCat: yeah
eulerscheZahl: it worked \o/
https://www.codingame.com/ide/demo/849340c736362b181cdae18a8345462538aa01
aCat: omg
aCat: you can do such cool things inside cg
aCat: LET US DO GAMES TOGETHER !
aCat: my ideas + your fixes, my engine + your visualization
eulerscheZahl: sure :)
aCat: :heart_eyes_cat:
Gorbit99: now I want to know what else there is to see
eulerscheZahl: but first: breakfast
aCat: ok, have a nice time euler
nfgCodex: i don't understand this bot battle game thing... is it really playing against other people? is it just made up gamification that i'm literally waiting for no reason? I'm just trying to make sense of what is actually happening here
Gorbit99: if it's in compete, you're playing against people
Gorbit99: when you submit that is
Andy_F: there are also some bots in clash of code but they mirror actual player submissions
Gorbit99: I assume if it's a bot battle game, it's a multiplayer game
jrke: yeah bot programming is multiplayer game
jacek: oh? i always thought it was just chaning strategy everytime
eulerscheZahl: CG doesn't hold a bunch of people captive in their basement to play against you?
Gorbit99: what's a normal turntime for solo games?
theBatman: Are there bots in Clash of code?
Gorbit99: yeah
Gorbit99: like 7 of them? maybe 6
Allis: There are eleven: AlkhilJohn, BSoD, BitWolf, JayEm94, KaneyklovAleck, LannertvSeveir, MathieuGanesan, Natchhood, NoopatJntsu, SuperMuppet, Tychkorg
jrke: yeah allis you are right
zask_warrior: hello
jacek: good morning
jrke: where is struct gone?
jacek: he became class
jrke: :smiley:
jrke: next time he will be header file
eulerscheZahl: i miss the struct :(
jacek: with every bullet so far
jrke: currently he didn't changed his name
eulerscheZahl: ghosting on discord too
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: Bruh
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: Help me
Allis: With?
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: When i enter Coders strike Back, i dont understand the second step
jacek: what does it say
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: To play, you'll have to write your own program... but we've entered some code for you to begin with. Let's see what it's doing!
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: And i waited
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: Nothing happened
jacek: you clicked play my code?
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: wdym?
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: i didnt see any button
jacek: https://i.imgur.com/C9iGiO6.png
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: No
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/706160755598295040/741923874924396574/unknown.png
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: It shows this
Gorbit99: seems like your resolution is small
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: I see
jacek: you have to scroll down the middle part
jacek: 1920x1080 small? :o
jacek: or scroll right :?
eulerscheZahl: https://prnt.sc/twjgcj
i think there should be some kind of "ok got it" there
eulerscheZahl: try clicking that area
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: Ok
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: Thats okay bro
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: ill do this myself
jacek: oO
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: Sorry for wasting your time
eulerscheZahl: ah, you should hit the play button
Gorbit99: pic you've posted is not even close to 1920x1080
eulerscheZahl: collapse the chat first
Gorbit99: check your monitor resolution settings, it might be borked
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: Ok bro
Robertt_The_Bad_Coder: Thanks for the info
eulerscheZahl: https://imgur.com/a/vlUoTn7
the chat is just hiding the button you are supposed to click
Allis: Do bots have a TrueSkill score?
JBM: which bots?
JBM: come to think of it, i think the answer is yes whichever
Gorbit99: coc bots?
Allis: That's how I meant, yeah.
JBM: i think coc bots are full-fledged accounts
Allis: I'm wondering if it would explain how I'm pretty sure I recently lost points on a win.
Gorbit99: well, they are just standard users
Gorbit99: just driven by a program
JBM: that you can click on, check out the profile and search in the rankings list

Memo12334: the graffiti on the fence challenge , how easy is it
kheedanonymous: hi
AntiSquid: Memo12334 easy
Memo12334: AY
dbdr: eulerscheZahl: wow
eulerscheZahl: thanks :)
dbdr: I see a new era for viewers arriving :)
eulerscheZahl: did you notice that I killed the timeline? :D
dbdr: ?
eulerscheZahl: the scroller at the bottom
dbdr: just noticed zoom works too
eulerscheZahl: to select the replay frame
dbdr: ah yes
dbdr: why?
eulerscheZahl: i just deleted all childs
eulerscheZahl: to kill pixi
eulerscheZahl: maybe 1 too much :D
eulerscheZahl: the zooming and such is really all from three.js
eulerscheZahl: the only thing i did is to include it in the replay
dbdr: visual bug, maybe the model is imperfect?
dbdr: https://i.snipboard.io/typ8PD.jpg
eulerscheZahl: i saw that too
dbdr: this pot cannot hold tea I think :D
eulerscheZahl: shows the same as on the website where i took it from
dbdr: right, so it's just the model
eulerscheZahl: https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_geometry_teapot.html
dbdr: openGL is nice, but can you boot linux now? ;)
eulerscheZahl: ?
dbdr: https://bellard.org/jslinux/vm.html?url=alpine-x86.cfg&mem=192
eulerscheZahl: we have that on tech.io
eulerscheZahl: player_one did it
eulerscheZahl: some file system tutorial i think
dbdr: this is the linux kernel running inside the browser in JS
dbdr: of course there's also https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death-of-javascript
eulerscheZahl: oh, not a remote machine? :o
dbdr: nope
eulerscheZahl: wow
dbdr: JS/Linux :)
Astrobytes: impressive!
dbdr: imagine an optim or multi using that :)
Astrobytes: gj on getting the teapot working euler :)
eulerscheZahl: :)
dbdr: 3d graphics faster than 2d pixi :D
eulerscheZahl: i know :D
eulerscheZahl: and doesn't make my computer cry
dbdr: now we can make botg viewer in 3d
dbdr: and move the camera :)
Astrobytes: Bugs out a bit. First time the controls were visible, second time they were minimised as normal, third and fourth times no teapot or controls
eulerscheZahl: just buy a new computer
eulerscheZahl: every time you plan to load a game
Astrobytes: (that's when I press play multiple times btw)
eulerscheZahl: read the description. does it tell you to play again?
eulerscheZahl: I had to delete the demo replay. somehow the pot was visible for a split second and then disappeared
Astrobytes: lol
eulerscheZahl: it's definitely not perfect the way it is now. Just wanted to upload a 3D object for the lols
dbdr: teapots vs kettles multi upcoming?
Astrobytes: It's great. Wonder what else you can do
eulerscheZahl: tea vs coffee
eulerscheZahl: i think you can do pretty much anything that JS can do
eulerscheZahl: but the code is sandboxed
eulerscheZahl: so i can't access the user profile
Astrobytes: ah ok
eulerscheZahl: or send web requests
eulerscheZahl: which is a good thing
Astrobytes: yeah indeed
ShabbirYamani: can I bound a country location - by using Lat/Long as top,right, bottom,left
AntiSquid: ^ not sure what you want, but i guess you can check out d3 if you want to use JS https://www.d3indepth.com/geographic/
AntiSquid: python makes life easier though
AntiSquid: maybe you were referring to choropleth maps ?
ShabbirYamani: I want to identify visitors - geo location and do {... things}
ShabbirYamani: the lat/long is fine - however, it pinpoints to 1 POINT
Arthur35: man... anybody can help me why input() is not working in python 3.6
Arthur35: and please suggest me an alternative

Zenoscave: I love HTCPCP
Memo12334: any mod online?
Memo12334: nvm
xlr4829: noob here
cegprakash: i'm sorry but it's been so long I'm returning back to paper soccer why is this move wrong? https://www.codingame.com/replay/481023628
cegprakash: last turn
trictrac: hello cegprakash, 7 is enough, 72 is too much, bot is allready in the goal
cegprakash: oh my isBouncing function flaw I think
cegprakash: ty
FLQ4: good luck
FLQ4: is neumann a bot
Neumann: Non.
FLQ4: ok
Neumann: Why ?
jrke: someone saying mod a bot :smiley:
cegprakash: Astrobytes belated wishes
eulerscheZahl: witch hunt failed. whom do we call a bot next?
cegprakash: I gift u a :popcorn:
cegprakash: Player also loses if after his turn the ball cannot be moved.
cegprakash: does this mean I have to let a valid move for opponent after my move?
AlwaysBeDream: i got and inf number in js , but can python handle big num ?
AlwaysBeDream: i see some member already done with the case with python, but i cant see member has done with javascript
cegprakash: javascript don't have bignum as far as I know
cegprakash: python by default is big num
cegprakash: u don't even have to import anything or use a different datatype
cegprakash: I always use python or java when I need bignum
AlwaysBeDream: nope
AlwaysBeDream: ahh , thats why i got inf output
Xcalibre: C# has a BigInteger class too
cegprakash: what gives inf?
AlwaysBeDream: infinity
eulerscheZahl: JavaScript has the double datatype.
So whatever causes this to overflow
cegprakash: are u using 1/0 or something?
Gorbit99: ruby is also default bignum
cegprakash: how big are the numbers u are dealing with AlwaysBeDream
Gorbit99: but it switches to it only if you need it
AlwaysBeDream: the case just calculate pow(120 , 324)
cegprakash: jz
AlwaysBeDream: haha
cegprakash: python then
AlwaysBeDream: i am not using python
Gorbit99: don't you need pow(120, 324) % something tho?
AlwaysBeDream: nope
cegprakash: or use the bignum library provided in npm
Gorbit99: really? that's weird
AlwaysBeDream: can i install some lib in this website ?
AlwaysBeDream: XD
Gorbit99: some are already installed, just have to check
cegprakash: https://www.npmjs.com/package/big-integer
AlwaysBeDream: i dont know about that, i new member here
cegprakash: this has pow function
Gorbit99: which puzzle is this btw?
Andriamanitra: 120^324 doesn't sound right for any puzzle
Gorbit99: yeee
AlwaysBeDream: i am join the clash of code
Gorbit99: clash then
Gorbit99: what was the text of the coc?
Gorbit99: or was it just reverse?
AlwaysBeDream: the case is take the result of pow(a , b) then take 3 digits from number
Andriamanitra: yeah you don't need the full number to do that
Gorbit99: OH
Gorbit99: first three digits?
Gorbit99: yeah, know that one
AlwaysBeDream: but i need the result to take the number
AlwaysBeDream: yeah
Andriamanitra: i think i had it too the other day
Gorbit99: you don't need the full number for it
cegprakash: jz..
cegprakash: last 3 digits would have been easier
AlwaysBeDream: emm, that's my bad
cegprakash: who asks first 3 digits :\
Gorbit99: last 3 would be too easy
AlwaysBeDream: i am using substr . i just convert it to string
AlwaysBeDream: XD
jacek: there is math for that
Andriamanitra: you can do the math or you can just take first x numbers and hope it's enough
cegprakash: intention of the puzzle is probably to solve it without using pow function
Andriamanitra: i did the latter
AlwaysBeDream: all of participant just complete 83% of the case
AlwaysBeDream: cuz the 8 case have a big and very big result
cegprakash: just print rand()%1000
cegprakash: if you are lucky it can pass
Gorbit99: yeah, just don't use pow for it
Gorbit99: that's why they are there
AlwaysBeDream: oooh, thank you bruh
Gorbit99: trying to find the puzzle itself
Andriamanitra: https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/5227bf9168ec8ceeb60c226a19e6c5fb1e2e
Gorbit99: you were faster
AlwaysBeDream: ah , that's the puzzle
Gorbit99: I approved it
AlwaysBeDream: i see
Gorbit99: it does have a cheap trick to it
cegprakash: is it possible to do something bruteforce like (a^b) MOD (10^p) and try all p where 10^p <= a^b?
cegprakash: or is there a better math
eulerscheZahl: i think logarithms could work, didn't do the math
eulerscheZahl: log(a^b) = b*log(a)
eulerscheZahl: that's a small number. and then do an operation that is equal to /10 as long as the number is too big
Andriamanitra: ruby's pow actually seems to be so nicely optimized that it passes just doing a**b :smile:
Andriamanitra: in python that would time out
eulerscheZahl: that sounds like broken by design
eulerscheZahl: i mean the clash statement
Memo12334: hey can I ask an expert something
Andriamanitra: expert on what?
Memo12334: coding
Memo12334: so I have almost done a challenge and I would like to ask how to do something. graffiti on the fence
Memo12334: everything works expect idk how I would do it when everything is painted
Memo12334: aka not everything works
SPDene: read the description again - it says what to print if there are no unpainted bits ("All painted" maybe - i don't remember exactly)
Memo12334: yes I know..
SPDene: then I'm not sure what you're asking
Memo12334: how to code it
Andriamanitra: if statement?
Memo12334: yes if whatr
Andriamanitra: if there are no unpainted sections everything is painted, no?
Memo12334: yes but how to do that is my question
SPDene: if (number of unpainted sections == 0 ) ...
Andriamanitra: i'm confused by the question tbh :smiley:
Memo12334: did u guys solve the challenge im taklking bout
SPDene: yes
Andriamanitra: the exact form of the if statement depends on how you have solved it
Memo12334: yes so if I add an if then the minor test 1 fails lol
SPDene: without knowing what language you're using, and what approach you're using to solve the puzzle, this is a bit like asking "what do I write in my essay?"
Memo12334: how do u guys solve these challenges so easily
Memo12334: PhD maths?
SPDene: can't speak for anyone else, but 40 years of coding experience for me :P
Xcalibre: more like elementary math
Memo12334: wow that's rlly a lot
Memo12334: SPDenewhat language u use
SPDene: mostly python
Memo12334: oh nice , not easy language to work with
Maxlaxs: wut
SPDene: it's one of the easiest
Memo12334: ok then probably for me
Laminator: A month of practice
Andriamanitra: hmm, which language do you think is easier?
Laminator: familiarity is not the same as easy
Memo12334: ok that's it probably
pardouin: maybe you should practice on fundamentals first
pardouin: cause here the "easy" problems require already a bit of practice
ChrisBell: Is there a way to continue practicing on a clash of code problem? Ill get into a few of them using bit tricks on paper, but never get to write the C++ for them to test it -.-
Andriamanitra: ChrisBell use this site to find it in the submissions section where you can freely play with it https://eulerschezahl.herokuapp.com/
DJDoubleSuperstar_da20: hi
ChrisBell: @Andriamanitra Thank you so much!
Shashank2409: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/1330764c0f7aeb0992398a4381411933ce75f1b
pardouin: what clash was that?
Shashank2409: Shortest code
pardouin: I know but which one?
Andriamanitra: find the largest prime i believe
jacek: so hot :fire:
pardouin: yeah ruby is good for that with his prime module
dbdr: heatwave jacek?
Andriamanitra: require'prime' is too many characters for shortest though
jacek: yes. and NN training overheating :c
MSmits: hey... anyone know of a code example for RL used to fit parameters for a boardgame or similar. I don't mean policy, just value function approximation. I find it hard to google examples
MSmits: everything is more complicated than this or entirely theoretical
MSmits: doesn't need to be TD either. MC is fine
MSmits: if I could get something like that working, it would save some CG benchmarking time.
MSmits: I do seem to remember you complaining about it too jacek, that you couldn't find good example code
MSmits: just lots of theory/formulae
Andriamanitra: RL? TD? MC? i don't know what any of those mean :laughing:
MSmits: reinforcement learning, temporal difference learning and RL using monte carlo methods
MSmits: basically, you have a bot, with a bunch of numbers that affect how your bot performs
MSmits: you let it play vs itself to figure out what the best values for those numbers are
MSmits: the way you vary and adjust the numbers is given by the type of learning algortihm
Andriamanitra: ah, machine learning stuff
MSmits: right
MSmits: but you end up with a run of the mill bot the way I intend to do it, not some fancy neural network
MSmits: I just want my parameters to have good values
jacek: yes, math is meh
jacek: texel tuning method and the like is/was used for parameter tuning
MSmits: texel tuning?
MSmits: sounds good, googled it
jacek: https://www.chessprogramming.org/Texel%27s_Tuning_Method#Method
MSmits: at least it's confined to the domain in which i want to apply it
jacek: though its similar to what im doing, playing gazillion games and fit parameters to them
MSmits: if i look up RL stuff, it's all trying to give me a full overview which i dont need
MSmits: yeah
MSmits: thanks, this should help me a bit
jacek: NN stuff is diffrent doman. though you can treat your eval as single-layer neuron
MSmits: yeah i know
MSmits: for NN there are tons of free tools
MSmits: because it's popular
jacek: hmm there is something on reinforcement learning on chess wiki
MSmits: full alpha zero implementations where you just switch out the game rules for something else
jacek: yeah but that requires resources which i dont have
Memo12334: what do u guys do if ur stuck
MSmits: true
MSmits: I ask jacek
MSmits: gotta go for a bit, wife wants to go for a walk, ttyl
MSmits: thanks again jacek
Memo12334: good weather now ;p
jacek: MSmits you might find it interesting http://www.fierz.ch/cake186.php
JojoZ.: do you like potatoes ?
jacek: tomatoes?
Meowsuke: pomato?
Laminator: I once went to cracker barrel and order mashed potatoes, fries, and a baked potato as my 3 sides
Laminator: It was so good
LIONSxLEADER: you didn't get the cheezy hashbrowns ... missed out
FLQ4: i am on the coc grind
FLQ4: does anyone have some tips
LIONSxLEADER: you passing them?
Astrobytes: tips? Play multis or do puzzles, not coc :P
Astrobytes: Otherwise, git gud and grind
LIONSxLEADER: i have 3 timed monitored coding test interviews over the next week.
Astrobytes: On CG or elsewhere LIONSxLEADER?
eulerscheZahl: 3 for different jobs or for the same?
LIONSxLEADER: hte COC definately has helped me with my relative speed, without focusing too much on more difficult problems
LIONSxLEADER: yeah
LIONSxLEADER: apple is tommorow
LIONSxLEADER: not on CG
Astrobytes: Which platform are they using out of interest?
LIONSxLEADER: apple?
LIONSxLEADER: codility i belive
LIONSxLEADER: wait
LIONSxLEADER: not
LIONSxLEADER: thats another job
LIONSxLEADER: they just have a notepad action i belive
eulerscheZahl: codility lists a lot of popular companies like microsoft, amazon, paypal, ...
but no apple as far as i can tell
eulerscheZahl: ah
LIONSxLEADER: whiteboardesk
Memo12334: so codingame helps with getting a job later when git gut
Astrobytes: ah alright
Astrobytes: Memo12334, CG's main focus is:
codingame.com/work
LIONSxLEADER: all i know is i never have to code fast, but in the timed tests, you have to
LIONSxLEADER: so if you dont know the common solutions for easy stuff, you wont finish harder stuff in time
Astrobytes: Or https://www.codingame.com/work/ since I'm a noob
Memo12334: ooh, ye I do it for fun and to get good in programming. To be a better problem solver
LIONSxLEADER: you use that to get interviews?
Astrobytes: No, CG provide interview screening tests like the ones you're going for
eulerscheZahl: competitor to codility
LIONSxLEADER: i see
Memo12334: It takes approximately 10 hours for one easy challenge for me
LIONSxLEADER: why dont you guys have scored for bigO?
Astrobytes: You'll get faster Memo12334
LIONSxLEADER: scores*
Memo12334: feels bad ;p
Astrobytes: It's kinda puzzle dependent LIONSxLEADER, some are dependent on efficiency, some aren't (puzzle-wise)
eulerscheZahl: it is bad
but totally normal when you are new to the field
Memo12334: how do I become like u guys or are u guys born with the skills
Memo12334: like genetics
LIONSxLEADER: do it for a decade or 2, you get better
Memo12334: lmao
LIONSxLEADER: good memory helps
Memo12334: decade = 10 years
eulerscheZahl: hard training
maybe a mix of training and talent
Astrobytes: I'm not even a dev by trade, just practice and use that amazing thing attached to your spinal cord ;)
eulerscheZahl: and the practicing doesn't feel like it as long as you enjoy it
Astrobytes: ^
LIONSxLEADER: i just hate how the challenges go nowhere
LIONSxLEADER: you build on your own knowledge
Astrobytes: If you don't enjoy it then you either are interested and lack training/practice, or just aren't really interested
LIONSxLEADER: but if you dont use it you forget it
Astrobytes: For the puzzles?
LIONSxLEADER: so all the time spent gets semi lost vs working on a project
LIONSxLEADER: just talking about how practicing increasingly difficult puzzles, can start to have diminishing return value vs working on projects of your own or others
LIONSxLEADER: in terms of what you have to show for the time spent
Memo12334: rlly? I would think it rlly levels one problem solving ability
Astrobytes: Well, it's about fun, practice and/or learning/improving skills. Personal projects may take priority, that's OK!
LIONSxLEADER: agreed
LIONSxLEADER: but in terms of getting a job you need a portfolio and the ability to code these kinds of tests to pass thier automated filters
Memo12334: but lions
Astrobytes: You need problem solving skills mostly
Memo12334: don't these puzzles level one proble msolvin ability. isnt programming about problem solving anyway
Astrobytes: Most jobs in any STEM field require problem solving
LIONSxLEADER: oh i wasnt discounting it
Astrobytes: #1 priority
LIONSxLEADER: i was just talking about diminishing returns
LIONSxLEADER: does codinggame do any crownsourced projects?
LIONSxLEADER: crowd
Astrobytes: Sure, I mean don't focus on CG if it's taking you away from more productive projects
Astrobytes: No to your crowdsourced project question
LIONSxLEADER: so breaking up a project into small parts and having everyone work on them duolingo style
LIONSxLEADER: that sounds like a fun coding project
Memo12334: bruh
Astrobytes: Feel free to team up with some people and make a multiplayer game using the CG SDK then ;)
eulerscheZahl: yay to more multiplayer games
Astrobytes: But it'll all be Java in the end
Astrobytes: Is yours ready to pitch now euler? As in finished and ready to sell to Thibaud?
LIONSxLEADER: do you know about duolingo?
eulerscheZahl: just waiting for thibaud to be back
eulerscheZahl: step 1: get thibaud on my side
step 2: find testers
step 3: possible changes
step 4: contest
eulerscheZahl: step 0: you are here
Astrobytes: :)
LIONSxLEADER: how the people learning the language by solving tests are actively translating untranslated texts
Memo12334: eulerschezahl
eulerscheZahl: Memo12334
Memo12334: did u do personal projects too or only codingame if I may ask
jacek: personal projects eh
eulerscheZahl: CG is my center of activity. but i've been active elsewhere too
Astrobytes: LIONSxLEADER spell this out in a CG-related context for me if you will please (I'm familiar with duolingo yes)
eulerscheZahl: also: CG projects doesn't limit to solving puzzles or playing multiplayer games.
e.g. you can build a website to add a feature your are missing, build your own games (in a team with other users, ...)
LIONSxLEADER: i am imagining this large process that starts with the description of a program
LIONSxLEADER: then goes to TDD stage where you task people to write the tests for the description
eulerscheZahl: and then we build the functionality first, write tests and commit+push in reverse order :P
LIONSxLEADER: you take the "best" Tests and offer them as the next problems
Astrobytes: Isn't this just the Contribution system gone wild? :)
LIONSxLEADER: everyone solves the problems. viola. working progam :)
LIONSxLEADER: indeed
LIONSxLEADER: but just like everything
LIONSxLEADER: how its offered means everything
LIONSxLEADER: i know so easy right ;).
Astrobytes: I mean, contributions are based on this kind of idea in terms of review etc. People come up with additional testcases/validators etc. I see what you mean with trying to formalise that but it would be quite a shift for the platform no?
LIONSxLEADER: oh i dunno, an extra category or two for parts of programs you need but dont have
Astrobytes: Hard thing to gamify imo
LIONSxLEADER: or likely dont
LIONSxLEADER: like the webservices of api requests
LIONSxLEADER: or*
LIONSxLEADER: or writing test cases
LIONSxLEADER: stuff you need to do for any job
LIONSxLEADER: i agree
pcc_gaming: hello
LIONSxLEADER: hard to gamify
tutubalin: dear moderator. we've got a problem in #ru chanel. who has enough right to kick/back flooders?
Astrobytes: Most people come here for a break from work LIONSxLEADER
JBM: don't you have uljahn there
Astrobytes: jiki again tutubalin?
tutubalin: yes, but his rights have not been approved yet
Astrobytes: I can't kick him
Astrobytes: or ban
tutubalin: Astrobytes yes. now he's not just flooding, but also offence people
Astrobytes: ffs
LIONSxLEADER: really? id imagine it was the opposite
LIONSxLEADER: people trying to find work
jiki: ban Ulian tutubalin
Uljahn: i can kick him here but not in #ru
jiki: insults mans
LIONSxLEADER: do the demographics say that?
JBM: weird system
Astrobytes: well, I banned him here
Astrobytes: LIONSxLEADER remember the 2 sides to CG, there's the recruitment side (so you get people practicing for job related stuff) then you have the more informal competitive programming side
LIONSxLEADER: interesting
Astrobytes: JBM, they messed up the mod rights a bit
JBM: yeah, i can tell
Astrobytes: :grin:
JBM: no mods on #ru
jacek: :scream:
JBM: or #de, but then again that's not exactly a pressing issue
Astrobytes: hehe true
JBM: rumors of #de being idle are greatly exagerated
JBM: i for one only have one week of history there
JBM: far cry from the two weeks i've seen advertised
Astrobytes: Well, some of us took a little holiday to #de for a short while recently :P
JBM: how long is it goingto take them to recover that precious idle time
Zenoscave: a week about
Zenoscave: just guessing
Astrobytes: :)
Astrobytes: tutubalin should be OK for a while now at least
tutubalin: thank you!
tutubalin: or whoever did it
Astrobytes: Magus has #ru mod rights, thibaud will fix it so we all have mod rights in #ru when he returns from holiday
tutubalin: we really tolerated him for a long time and tried to convince him to behave appropriately
Astrobytes: (Magus did it)
Astrobytes: Yeah I know, I'm aware of his behaviour
Zenoscave: Astro did you solve BBP Pi yet?
Astrobytes: Yes! Or I wouldn't have approved it
Zenoscave: What lang?
Astrobytes: I did it in Go because I'm a masochist
Zenoscave: I'm interested in learning other approaches
Astrobytes: Well, I was practicing
Zenoscave: cool!
Astrobytes: Pretty much just did the Bailey way
Astrobytes: I'm interested enough to try other approaches, I wasn't aware of this at all before your puzzle
Zenoscave: Spigots can be really usefull for some mathematical approximations?
Zenoscave: *!
Astrobytes: definitely yes
Astrobytes: Your python solution was very clean btw.
Zenoscave: thank you!
Zenoscave: I optimized to remove floating point arithmetic
Zenoscave: so it's a little clunky now but blinding fast
Astrobytes: Yeah I noticed. Very well done!
Zenoscave: thanks :)
Astrobytes: Anyway, I gotta shoot, gn dude and gn all
JBM: gn A
mohsinalipro: hello from Pakistan!
AntiSquid: hi
Gorbit99: I have most of my solo games systems working
JBM: yay
Gorbit99: just need a bot for it
inoryy: what's the website that hosts CG chat logs?
JBM: cg.spdns.eu iirc
JBM: want to catch up on all the jiki you missed?
inoryy: that's the one, thanks!
kiikii: Anyone have any tips for references of coding interview type problems for f#?
Gorbit99: my personal coding interview practice place is codesignal
kiikii: thanks ill check it out
FionaZe: how can I debug on the platform?
jrke: can every lang hold 65 bit int ?
nfgCodex: do you h av eto wait for all players to finish the Clash of Code to get credit or something?
theBatman: Are there bots in Clash of code?
