TheSilent_Boy: how to search my school
TheSilent_Boy: ?
ChrisChrisLoLo: google
TheSilent_Boy: :joy:
TheSilent_Boy: bro
TheSilent_Boy: I meant how to find out my school friends on this website
gameOverManGameOver: Hello Earth!
TheSilent_Boy: Hi Aliens !
kasudy: anyone coding kutulu?
TheSilent_Boy: Nope
TheSilent_Boy: Python here
Uljahn: xD
TheSilent_Boy: where did the aliens go??
TheSilent_Boy: :joy:
ProCoder3: How many times can we use SHEILD command in CSB
MadKnight: any
MadKnight: unlimited
jrke: as many you want procoder3
jrke: but we can use boost once in a game
ProCoder3: Okay thanks:smile:
MI_coder: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
BotNC: Can anyone recommend any sources to learn JavaScript?
MI_coder: hey guys someone know if there is a way to close this chatbox from my scree?
MI_coder: screen*?
MI_coder: botNC use freecodecamp
JeffGe: https://javascript.info/
MI_coder: hey man is there anyway i can hide this chatbox frm my scrn?
mortadha: hello world
Uljahn: MI_coder: click triangle on the bottom of the chat
Uljahn: also it can be disabled with adblock rule or css userstyle
MI_coder: i cant find a triangle tho
AwemA: hello
AwemA: it's possible to have some help here ?
mortadha: also me i need to some help
mortadha: who can help me
mortadha: ???
AwemA: i'm totaly new to this , and i'm on the elevator with clone stage
AwemA: @mortadha , explain your problem, i prefer break my head on something else than what is under my eyes actually ^^
mortadha: i have a low level in algorthm
mortadha: how i can make my level in algorithm good level
AwemA: oh, we are in the same boat, and it's for this reason that i'm here , to increase my level , but some topic look so hard for my newbie face :(
mortadha: yes :pensive:
AwemA: on youtube i think that you can found some good video that explain how solve this pick what fit with your learn way , for it's gaming
mortadha: i need to person have a good level to guide me
Uljahn: you could use free online courses for learning algorithms and data structures or read some books :smirk:
mortadha: give me a website can help to learn a basic fo data structures
mortadha: please
anantaCodes: Why is shortest mode there? I want to the know the intention behind it
Lazy_Programmer: I am a student of youtube... Anyone else here from same school?
Moctrof: anantaCodes, I hated it at first but the goal is to learn new features of your language I think
Moctrof: But with somelanguages you can't compete, I use python whenever it's shortest and I am a c# guy
anantaCodes: Yea the learning part if OK. but the platform is meant for competing. How is it a fair competition? Can I choose which types of challenges I can play in a public challege? Not the private ones
AntiSquid: think clash is meant as a more for fun section
Saptarshi: anyone on IBM?
Lazy_Programmer: shortest mode sucks if you are not a python programmer
Saptarshi: Yup that a word of carat Lazy_programmer
Lazy_Programmer: I am a c++ guy so I usually skip the shortest mode...
Saptarshi: thats not the spirit ... whether u win or lose ... u should complete the challenge
Saptarshi: I'm a C & Java guy
jrke: even if you are good in c++ so you can get top3 in shortest mode also
Saptarshi: but I'm always learning python for competitive cuz thats best for these
prakash218: hello
prakash218: hi
jrke: i prefer c++ for complex coding and python for easy and fast coding
Saptarshi: That's very right jrke
Saptarshi: even in interviews C/C++ guys are placed above python guys
Saptarshi: but for competitve I prefer learning up python
Lazy_Programmer: yeah i know python but i hate string handling stuff, and in shortest mode there are usually string handling challenges...(I hate working with strings cause i found them boring)
Saptarshi: Yep...
Saptarshi: Hey lazy programmer whats ur age
Lazy_Programmer: yeah I am 21... why?
Saptarshi: and are u working?
Saptarshi: or studying
Lazy_Programmer: yeah an internship as a unity game developer
Lazy_Programmer: also studying
Saptarshi: Woah that's great
Saptarshi: btw I'm 16
Saptarshi: how did u got ur internship at Unity?
Lazy_Programmer: damn dude I wish I could get to know these competitive programming sites or even programming in that age
Lazy_Programmer: you are lucky bro really lucky
jacek: mhm
Lazy_Programmer: not at unity bro as a unity game developer at a small indie studio
AntiSquid: i am 12
Saptarshi: Great!
Lazy_Programmer: AntiSquid :astonished:
Saptarshi: ehh AntiSquid might be jocking
Saptarshi: *joking
Saptarshi: Hey Lazy_Programmer I found u quite an interesting guy
Saptarshi: are u on insta?
Lazy_Programmer: nope I just use linked in (a professional site) and a few competitive programming sites nothing else
Saptarshi: Oh
Saptarshi: I would like to keep u in contact..how can I?
Lazy_Programmer: its okay bro we will meet here again after a week. it was my last day of codingames site I used to be here on thursday and friday tomorrow is for leetcode
Saptarshi: leetcode's really hard bro.. I could just able to win one contest till now
starmaq: leetcode is weird
Saptarshi: Said right bro
Saptarshi: Hackerrank's nice
Lazy_Programmer: not for contest just for practice...
starmaq: I didn't try it out that much, but there is always a single test case, and in python the solution has to be a method inside of a class
starmaq: other than that, it's pretty good tbh
Saptarshi: why dont google develop such sites
Lazy_Programmer: well leetcode is hard but not weird... because only person with good knowledge of algorithms can survive there
Lazy_Programmer: saptarshi! google it...
Lazy_Programmer: that why google is not doing this
Saptarshi: Can u tell me what did u studied to get such internship at this age
AntiSquid: use duckduckgo if you too lazy to google
Lazy_Programmer: wait bro are you making joke of me by saying 'at this age'?
Saptarshi: No No
Saptarshi: Im Appreciating bro
jacek: :thinking:
Lazy_Programmer: I wanted to get this at age of 19
Saptarshi: too not such late to have on 21
Saptarshi: btw
Saptarshi: leave it
Saptarshi: just tell me what did u studies
Saptarshi: *studied
AntiSquid: i think he considers you to be very successful for your age due to getting an intership at unity Lazy_Programmer
Lazy_Programmer: by the way I just followed youtube tutorials for one and half year to learn game development and one day I applied for a junior game deve job post on linked in and I got it... boom
LoukasPap: go duckduckgo
LoukasPap: google stealing our info
AntiSquid: and your avatar i guess since you have none
Lazy_Programmer: let me repeat i am not unity's team member I am doing an intership in a small game dev studio as a unity developer.
Lazy_Programmer: not in unity
AntiSquid: well you got him excited about it
Saptarshi: I have only some pdf assignments given by my school these lockdowns..let google steal it
Lazy_Programmer: AntiSquid! I don't know when I said that I am working at unity. I said I am working as unity developer somewhere
Lazy_Programmer: by the way! Saptarshi if you want to work at unity then you have to learn game engine programming
AntiSquid: sometimes i am speedreading with same comprehension level as Automaton2000
Saptarshi: how can I convert a String to Integer in C?
Automaton2000: i end up with a way to do it in a string
Lazy_Programmer: type casting bro
Alshock: that one is priceless, well done Automaton2000
Automaton2000: search for a good reason
Saptarshi: I know... Like in java we have Integer.valueOf()
Saptarshi: how can I in C
Saptarshi: I know i would find in google
Alshock: strtol I think?
Alshock: the good ol' way i atoi
Saptarshi: but it would be kind if someone tells me here
Uljahn: just find it in google jeez
Lazy_Programmer: that why I hate strings...:grin:
Saptarshi: C++++++++++++++++++++++++
AntiSquid: would be kind for chat people to also read statements for some people, but it doesn't do much really
Saptarshi: C--
Saptarshi: AntiSquid++
Uljahn: would be kind for chat people to not spam
Saptarshi: spam++
Saptarshi: sorry
AntiSquid: no, too late now
Alshock: ... and to tell whether the answers they're given are what they were looking for
Lazy_Programmer: Lazy_Programmer.Leave();
Saptarshi: Saptarshi.leave();
AntiSquid: Automaton2000.kick();
Automaton2000: we have the same issues
Uljahn: Automaton2000.spam++
Automaton2000: bitrunner is a little over-performing compared to other games
jacek: eeyup
Saptarshi: Automaton2000.spam(while(true));
Automaton2000: i see you are a pro
Uljahn: :smile:
Saptarshi: is this site made with React?
Saptarshi: I donot code... code codes me
AntiSquid: it's vue and backbone js
Doju: C++ really is an entirely different beast to python
Doju: i've got a decent handle on python but i'm completely lost trying to learn c++
jacek: do c++ only if you need performance
Doju: I'm doing c++ because I want to learn it
Doju: and yeah i guess i need performance
Doju: i'm writing another bot for the spring challenge
Doju: this time simming instead of heuristics
AllYourPawns: jacek whats your bot do for breakthrough? do you use an eval function?
Uljahn: eval with NN?
AllYourPawns: ive been trying to do just pure MCTS but feels like its hitting a wall cause it doesnt take into account opponent minimizing score
AllYourPawns: wondering if there's something better than UCB since UCB is based on normally distributed rewards
AllYourPawns: which is not true at all for 1v1 games
jacek: AllYourPawns i use NN for eval
jacek: the eval is good for alpha-beta, but also MCTS with early playout termination
jacek: though i use best-first minimax search, which mostly resembles MCTS
jacek: pure MCTS isnt particularly good for games with many traps
AllYourPawns: yeah traps mess it up for sure, and okay yeah that makes sense
Uljahn: i guess Thompson sampling could be better than UCB in that case, no?
jacek: is this some complicated math? :scream:
AllYourPawns: haven't heard of that ill look into t hat for sure!
Doju: I'm really stumped
Doju: I want to organize all of the inputs into one place
Doju: maybe a class, maybe a function
Doju: anyways i can't do it as a function since you can't return multiple different types
Doju: so should i actually just return the whole class?
Doju: this is silly
Scarfield: you can make a void function with function parameters as references
Scarfield: void diffTypes(int& bla, float& blu, Pirate& jackSparrow)
{}
Doju: right, functions can take multiple different types in but they can't output different types
Doju: i don't think that really helps though
Uljahn: can't you use global variables?
Doju: erm
Scarfield: no but the "&" makes it a refence, since you are pointing to the address of the parameter
Scarfield: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLnPwxZdW4Y a good tutorial for C++
Doju: i'll have a watch
Doju: thanks
Scarfield: so having Func(int& bla) will apply the changes made to bla within the function outside the function as well
Doju: yeah i get that
Scarfield: :)
Doju: oh maybe i didn't explain the problem clearly
Doju: actually i guess that will work with global variables
Doju: to solve the problem
jacek: yay for global variables
jacek: everywhere, everytime
Doju: nay :(
Doju: But i'll try to figure it out, thanks guys
Saptarshi: pls freakin make me understand * and &
Saptarshi: what if i write a=7
Saptarshi: and how to print the value of a through ptr and address of a through ptr
Doju: If i understood correctly, pointers are just memory addresses
Doju: so int a = 7
Doju: *a_pointer = a
Doju: then a_pointer is just some address
Saptarshi: is it like this printf("%x",*ptr);//for address
and printf("%d",ptr);//for value of a?
DomiKo: *ptr is value
DomiKo: ptr is memory address
Saptarshi: ohk thats what im asking for
Saptarshi: thanks
jacek: int a = 7; int *b = &a; *b = 5; // a == 5
DomiKo: and very important
DomiKo: int* a, b;
DomiKo: and
DomiKo: int *a, *b;
DomiKo: is not the same
Saptarshi: i know this
Saptarshi: btw if we do like
Saptarshi: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/40e1fea5-e164-4ab4-a860-9bd143f17dbc
Saptarshi: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/a2b9e100-28ac-474f-a84c-0d81ca6fde6c
Saptarshi: will a change to 7?
jacek: eeyup
Saptarshi: that's cool
Saptarshi: can we do this in java without global vars?
DomiKo: you know any of Java?
Doju: so hmm.. I need to give my input handler class, which runs every turn, references to, say, pac instances
Doju: that seems like a rather fragile way to do it
Saptarshi: a easier way to do it?
Saptarshi: *any
Saptarshi: :regional_indicator_j:
Saptarshi: A
Saptarshi: v
Saptarshi: A
jacek: kree java!
pinki: a
Saptarshi: JAVA, C, C++
Saptarshi: these are programming langs
Saptarshi: Python, Ruby, JavaScript
Saptarshi: these are hamburgers
Doju: I think I'm gonna be spending a lot of time on this site during the next 6 months
Saptarshi: anyone aspiring for google?
Doju: I got the stupid placement of weatherman in the finnish army :d
Doju: that means i'm gonna be spending every third week in an office with pretty much nothing to do except look at the clouds every now and then and browse the web
Saptarshi: but are ya aspiring for google
Saptarshi: and anyone who has became a google assistant dev?
Doju: not aspiring for google
Doju: aspiring for spacex but that's not happening since you need to have US citizenship
Hjax: DomiKo do you have a search in kutulu?
Hjax: lol the submit button is called Test In Arena now?
jacek: and they added some checkbox on leaderboard
Marchete: test in arena?
Marchete: but, why?
AntiSquid: actually with working from home already being a thing and it now becoming more popular ... you never know Doju, keep trying
Marchete: I rather prefer they improve the toolbox instead of these changes or more languages
Marchete: like NN libraries and more than 100KB
AntiSquid: replay parser tool
AntiSquid: and more support for offline training, option to run "headless" for example without having to fiddle with the code :p
AntiSquid: well i know we can tweak that ourselves, but why not ...
jacek: more than 100k characters*
jacek: and NN guys are already OP
Marchete: irrelevant
Marchete: the purpose of the platform is to promote code and AI learning
jacek: then why there's "compete"
AntiSquid: more people using NN = more tutorials for using it on CG or NN tuts in general, though most important is to make it easier on CG, MCTS tuts are all over the internet and can be easily adapted to CG
AntiSquid: also depends on the userbase though
Hjax: i think proper nn libaries would be pretty interesting
jacek: there are some nn tutorials in cg
AntiSquid: i wouldn't start with those
jacek: because CSB?
AntiSquid: if you just want a basic feedforward-backprop then you need to be an acrobat
AntiSquid: didn't try for CSB because can't setup locally
AllYourMCTS: is pytorch supported?
AntiSquid: no
AllYourMCTS: rip
AntiSquid: oh and if you change timeout offline you still run into issues
jacek: ?
geppoz: i suppose someone is trying to crack ClashOfCode
geppoz: some user just enters and submits with 0%
geppoz: maybe doing a lib of problems?
geppoz: it is happening regularly
Astrobytes: The same account or different ones geppoz?
geppoz: seems different
Astrobytes: Think someone mentioned this yesterday too
geppoz: not sure, but quite suspect
Astrobytes: Noted
geppoz: how many problems there are for CoC ?
geppoz: it is feasible?
geppoz: or better not answer :D
geppoz: let's not give ideas
Astrobytes: Quite a few, but they do repeat
Astrobytes: The captcha is supposed to discourage botting
geppoz: once in, no captcha for each match
Astrobytes: Playing too many within a set time limit triggers the captcha
**eulerscheZahl counts 757
http://eulerschezahl.herokuapp.com/codingame/puzzles/?q=&category=CLASHOFCODE&title=on&statement=on&tests=on&comments=on&tags=on&author=on
eulerscheZahl: a few more, should update the list...
Astrobytes: nice :)
eulerscheZahl: so joining clashes to get the list sounds pointless
geppoz: lol
geppoz: you published that?
Astrobytes: It's known site-wide
geppoz: :(
geppoz: so let's hope in people fairness ;)
Astrobytes: Nah, not like that. For looking up puzzles/clashes if you got stuck or whatever
Lisker_the_slow: someone come 1v1
Astrobytes: People will bot, people will cheat sometimes. Most people are fair
eulerscheZahl: https://imgur.com/a/BjIWGg1
eulerscheZahl: reach lvl29 and you can see the full list
geppoz: sorry lisker, diner pause, maybe later
eulerscheZahl: not gonna click that, it will freeze the tab
Astrobytes: With levelling up comes responsibility and hopefully honesty + integrity prevails
eulerscheZahl: btw i realized that the way I store data in heroku isn't persistent (updating the database with new entries) :(
eulerscheZahl: actually another user found out as he wanted to build a website with heroku too
Astrobytes: Ah. Bit of an overhaul needed then
eulerscheZahl: when the site goes down and up again, the changes are gone
eulerscheZahl: now the best part, his genious solution :rolling_eyes:
Astrobytes: That's... not useful
eulerscheZahl: he found some free cronjob website
eulerscheZahl: pinging heroku every 15min so it won't go offline
Astrobytes: ...
eulerscheZahl: that was my reaction too :D
eulerscheZahl: it's possible to add a real database to your heroku project. not sure yet if it's free, have to do some readup
eulerscheZahl: that is: a persistent DB
Astrobytes: I'm somewhat sure it's not, though was a while ago I checked the T&Cs, maybe they have a free option now
jacek: whats wrong with that idea? i would ping heroku myself
AntiSquid: you could host your database separetely on mlab
AntiSquid: https://mlab.com/ gives plenty space for free for small projects
AntiSquid: 500mb enough right?
eulerscheZahl: right now i'm at 72MB
and that's mostly codejam results
AntiSquid: you can create multiple databases, problem is they are each 500mb max
eulerscheZahl: 500 is more than i need
eulerscheZahl: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/mongolab
i don't like the red box at the top
eulerscheZahl: mLab has discontinued the MongoDB add-on. Please migrate to a new MongoDB provider before November 10, 2020.
AntiSquid: ya got an email about that, didn't fully read it
AntiSquid: thought they just change owners or something
Astrobytes: which Heroku data service package are you on eulerscheZahl, the Postgres one?
eulerscheZahl: yes, just realized that
eulerscheZahl: SERVICEheroku-postgresql
PLANhobby-dev
Astrobytes: Hm, bit annoying that you have that updating issue then
eulerscheZahl: free plan for heroku postgres: Row Limit
10,000
AntiSquid: btw have you tried glitch yet? i stopped using heroku ages ago because of their restrictions
Astrobytes: Ah
eulerscheZahl: my codejam table has more than 500k rows
eulerscheZahl: no. saw it on another project once, never tried myself
AntiSquid: it's far more simple to use too
eulerscheZahl: tried pythonanywhere first
they don't allow to access CG, only whitelisted hosts
eulerscheZahl: i like heroku actually
AntiSquid: is mlab only shutting down the heroku addon?
eulerscheZahl: don't know, didn't follow the link
AntiSquid: https://docs.mlab.com/mlab-to-atlas/
just thinking you can use the sandbox directly without an add on, like you would access mlab from anywhere else (without heroku)
AntiSquid: sandbox is what they call the 500mb free DB
irishcoder: Hey JulesLagny do you mind sharing your code?
JulesLagny: yes no problem, i did it
irishcoder: Thank you :relaxed:
JulesLagny: np
PatrickMcGinnisII: eulerscheZahl is your leaderboard page working?
PatrickMcGinnisII: or was that someone elses?
PatrickMcGinnisII: i know there were two
PatrickMcGinnisII: 1 searches individual contests,etc. and another one was for all of CG
AntiSquid: dbdr https://chadok.info/codingame/leaderboard_xp.html PatrickMcGinnisII
PatrickMcGinnisII: I can't find link for the one that did CG
PatrickMcGinnisII: oh yea, thanks...i like that one
AntiSquid: there's also this one that tracks activity, kutulu didn't change much in activite due to contest:
https://cgmulti.azke.fr/statistics
icecream17: i just got an email about fall challenge
PatrickMcGinnisII: hmm 161 in xp and 512 in CP, I can't seem to break into the top 500, oh well
icecream17: oh nvm
icecream17: it was about the spring challenge
jacek: :ie:
eulerscheZahl: was afk
that chadok.info is from Stilgar t by the way
PatrickMcGinnisII: eulerscheZahl do you have your own host to play with?
eulerscheZahl: just the heroku free plan
eulerscheZahl: nothing where i'm completely free to put on the server whatever i want
eulerscheZahl: but enough for my needs
PatrickMcGinnisII: Well I would give you my login for flnerd.com, have to stay out of my e-mail tho
AntiSquid: what is chadok.info ?
eulerscheZahl: thanks for the offer but i don't think i need it
PatrickMcGinnisII: only way I could really let you manage your own DB
eulerscheZahl: could afford the few bucks myself. i just lack motivation of setting it up
PatrickMcGinnisII: i used hostclear, now its justhost...cronjobs,DBs, etc. all infinite
PatrickMcGinnisII: need just ftp, hit me up
AntiSquid: how much does heroku addon automate?
AntiSquid: mongo schemas were annoying and confusing at first for me too
PatrickMcGinnisII: aunt on phone, ttyl
AntiSquid: there's even guide to migrate from heroku to atlas directly:
https://docs.mlab.com/how-to-migrate-sandbox-heroku-addons-to-atlas/
x544D: Hello !
There is no ASM included on CG ?
Hjax: you could inline asm in a C upload couldnt you
zeesop: Hey guys! Live at twitch :)
zeesop: This site is soo much fun lol
jacek: twitch eh
Unkmar: And in multiple languages. Rarely English.
jacek: huh
Unkmar: Dutch appears to be his primary language.
zeesop: I can talk English if you'd like though
zeesop: Just start talking it in the chat and I will
jacek: in this channel we talk in english generally
zeesop: I mean on twitch :P
jacek: oh
geppoz: mission accomplished for today: <100th in CoC :D
MadKnight: but what's the point ?
MadKnight: Automaton2020 ?
AntiSquid: there is no point Automaton2000
Automaton2000: i am pretty sure it was a fun one :)
AntiSquid: Automaton2020 was not found on the chat. - trying to ban this user @_@
MadKnight: but what's the point of having no point Automaton2000 ?
Automaton2000: as long as you dont spam it, it doesn't seem to be a good idea
icecream17: i wonder how often automaton2000's posts are relevant
Automaton2000: anybody know why i am getting the error
icecream17: oh wait automaton2000 used a smile emoji
Automaton2000: yeah i remember that one
DomiKo: omg
DomiKo: I'm so close to Legend
DomiKo: in Kutulu
DomiKo: yes
DomiKo: finally <3
DomiKo: Legend ufff
MadKnight: gggg
icecream17: oh yeah boss 1: https://www.codingame.com/replay/487890775
DomiKo: automaton2000 do you like Kutulu?
Automaton2000: see if you can do it i think
DomiKo: automaton2000 can i beat them?
Automaton2000: it seems that intellisense never works
yaboiikevin: quite unfortunate
DomiKo: automaton2000 what is the finall clue?
Automaton2000: i thought you were using it for 2 weeks
KDragon: Hello everyone, i am new here, how things going here ?
LastRick: Great! Welcome to CG.
icecream17: i'm doing amazing
KDragon: Thank you LastRick
KDragon: Good luck to you icecream17
solution.cpp: turning off script blockers may help to bring back intellisense
MadKnight: Automaton2000 how can i beat MadKnight's bot in CSB ?
Automaton2000: i'm still wondering why it is like a whole new level
Unkmar: The longer I stay here. The more frustrated I get.
Unkmar: I knew my simple case for Fair numbering would work but be too slow.
Unkmar: I wasn't sure how to tackle the longest palindrome. Again, I have something that works but is far too slow.
Schwase: what language @unkmar?
Unkmar: JavaScript.
Schwase: hmmm
Schwase: maybe C+P your code to me in a private message?
Unkmar: I'm not using discord, so I'm not sure how.
Unkmar: Nevermind.
Schwase: you can click my name
Unkmar: Won't help much right now anyway. I have completely broken code.
Schwase: well
Schwase: what is your approach?
Unkmar: Well, the too slow approach to Fair numbering is, counting digits to each page into an array, finding half, then finding that page location in the array.
Schwase: yes that would be too slow
Schwase: but there is another way to get how many numbers are in a specific interval of page numbers
Schwase: too be more specific, how many digits
Unkmar: Yeah, 9 times per level. Assuming a complete level.
Unkmar: Actually, 9 * 10^level
Schwase: thats how many pages there are
Schwase: how many digits are there
Schwase: on level 1 theres 2 digits per page right?
Schwase: so itd be (level+1)*9*10^level
Unkmar: I keep trying to avoid musing Math.log(), but I know that is a much easier method.
Schwase: it is usefl
Schwase: a lot of the puzzles on here are simpler when applying math principles to simplify them and evaluation times
Unkmar: yeah, but log() is expensive if you can get away with just checking length of a casted string.
ChrisChrisLoLo: google
