jinbr: how can i go to silver level?

TeachMeSenpai: its okay, you can start a new tomorrow

MiyamuraIzumi: silver is not hard to achive

MiyamuraIzumi: just try a bit

Default avatar.png ShauryaS: henglo

Default avatar.png Plantchant: Check livestream tab and join us >:D

Default avatar.png nickeyminasj: :disappointed:

Default avatar.png nickeyminasj: hi guys

Default avatar.png nickeyminasj: can anyone help

Default avatar.png KP56: what's your problem

Default avatar.png Lokesh_Shelva: how do u create a private clash

Uljahn: oO

Uljahn: Lokesh_Shelva: click "Start a private Clash" at the bottom of https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/clashofcode page

Default avatar.png NasrAllah: by left clicking on clash page

Default avatar.png VoidMakerDR: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/1830448a5ed10f14fe0b00ffe07ad4eae7814da

KiwiTae: hello my darlings

KiwiTae: o/

Default avatar.png SuryaTheOP: haii everyone

Default avatar.png KP56: hello

Default avatar.png SuryaTheOP: hello

Xzoky174: hi

Default avatar.png simone.pelloni: tanta

Default avatar.png fyseus: how to deal with "Clash of Code is meant for human coders only, please prove you aren't a bot!"

Default avatar.png TFeld: click it

Default avatar.png fyseus: i find nothing to click:joy:

Makiyu: hru guys?

Uljahn: fyseus: to see the captcha you need to enable google services

Default avatar.png fyseus: ok,i will try it latter

Uljahn: i guess it's blocked in china

Default avatar.png fyseus: yes, it's actually blocked..

Default avatar.png KP56: bruh

derjack: oO

Freeborn-coder: hello everyone, while taking the onboarding skill test, something important came up, i had to submit the test without answering anything. Can i take the test again?

Nekko551XD: yes but it's puzzle so it doesn't matter how many times you retake it

Nekko551XD: tries aren't limited by number nor time

Default avatar.png Lokesh_Shelva: is there a way for continue clash of code in private clash

Default avatar.png Lokesh_Shelva: or we have to start a new clash everytime?

Default avatar.png KP56: what is the shortest mode in COC about?

Andriamanitra: it's about pain and suffering and losing to ruby and perl

Default avatar.png KP56: but

Default avatar.png KP56: what are the rules

Default avatar.png KP56: who wins

Andriamanitra: whoever gets the highest percentage of tests correct using fewest characters

Default avatar.png KP56: ah ok

Andriamanitra: i think time is used as tiebreaker if two people get for example 100% with 86 characters but it's mostly just about code golf tricks

Default avatar.png KP56: ah ok

Default avatar.png KP56: if the output has to be "true" can it be "True" too?

Andriamanitra: nope

Default avatar.png KP56: bruh

Andriamanitra: has to be exact

Andriamanitra: the contribution guidelines say such outputs should be avoided but there are still plenty of bad clashes in circulation

Default avatar.png KP56: ah ok

AntiSquid: anyone know a good paper on clashes?

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: what is a 'paper'

Default avatar.png leviisbadatvalorant: big boobs

Default avatar.png homo_sapien: yes

Default avatar.png leviisbadatvalorant: idk how to do any of this my teacher is making me do it

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: my ass

Default avatar.png Tron9000: no

sprkrd: good heavens, what's happening today?

Wontonimo: what has become of world chat? Oh, I miss the days of the last competition when intelligent conversation existed here

sprkrd: the kick/ban festival, I assume

Astrobytes: They're all kicked/banned

Default avatar.png macs_smells: poopoo

Default avatar.png leviisbadatvalorant: i did a code in 8 secs

sprkrd: hey, there's a new one

Default avatar.png leviisbadatvalorant: 0%

Wontonimo: nice leviisbadatvalorant , what was the challenge?

Wontonimo: oh, 0%. yeah, I too can get 0% in 8 sec lol

sprkrd: AntiSquid what do you mean by "a good paper on clashes"?

Wontonimo: I was going to ask the same :)

Astrobytes: I think it was a joke.

Default avatar.png fyseus: funny

Default avatar.png leviisbadatvalorant: why did macs_smells get banned ?

sprkrd: that was one of my two main assumptions

Astrobytes: when you introduce yourself with "poopoo"...

Astrobytes: And you're all from the same class...

Default avatar.png leviisbadatvalorant: unban him please

Astrobytes: No.

Default avatar.png leviisbadatvalorant: tits

Default avatar.png leviisbadatvalorant: no

Default avatar.png leviisbadatvalorant: that was him

Astrobytes: Bye bye

Astrobytes: Now they're harassing me in DMs

Default avatar.png ashton642: wow

sprkrd: oh god

Wontonimo: sigh

Astrobytes: Like I care.

Default avatar.png homo_sapien: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/1ba2dbb5-572a-4725-8f2e-e187e6315865

Astrobytes: he's banned now, was only kicked previously

sprkrd: which age are these students? 9 years old?

Astrobytes: I assume so. Mentally at least.

Wontonimo: Do you have an option to temporarily stop new joiners from joining world chat? Or target a whole IP range?

Default avatar.png MrRin: print(str(next_checkpoint_x) + " " + str(next_checkpoint_y) + thrust)

Astrobytes: No. And that would also ruin it for the other students who aren't spamming

Default avatar.png MrRin: Sorry, sent in wrong palce

sprkrd: i'm thinking if they're doing an assignment, probably they don't need the chat anyway

Wontonimo: looks like you are exchanging notes on now to play Coders Strikes Back MrRin

Astrobytes: There are a lot of features missing from the web chat, it't never gonna be fixed or updated though sadly.

Wontonimo: agreed sprkrd

Astrobytes: *it's

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: astrobytes why did you kick me

Astrobytes: Yeah, you occasionally get the odd one who asks a pertinent question in chat

Wontonimo: first, check out your user name

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: my username is completely appropriate

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: oh damn 500th thats insane

Astrobytes: also "my ass" wasn't a particularly endearing thing to say was it?

Wontonimo: next, reconsider that statement

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: all right im sorry

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: but i will become first one day

Astrobytes: cool, lets move on

Wontonimo: are you working on Coders Strikes Back ?

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: whats that

Wontonimo: what are you working in here?

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: just clash of code?

sprkrd: I believe this gentleman is not from the students group, Wontonimo

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: whats the student's group?

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: because im a student

Wontonimo: there are gentlemen here? lol

Default avatar.png Astrobites: YOOOO


Default avatar.png Astrobites: ight im out

Astrobytes: 0/10 for originality

KiwiTae: ><

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: Oh my astrobytes is 285

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: thats even more insane

Wontonimo: wow Astrobytes, I see two of you. it's just sooooo confusing. I can't tell who is who .... is it you with rank 27600000th or the one with the moderator icon ?

Astrobytes: :grin:

Astrobytes: 285th :( I need to fix that

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: :joy:

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: btw what is coder's strike back

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: it seems interesting

Default avatar.png KP56: its a game you can bot on this website

Wontonimo: Change your name please then I'll tell you. it is cool

Default avatar.png KP56: its about racing

Astrobytes: A multiplayer bot programming game

Default avatar.png PoopyCoder123: how to change name

Wontonimo: top right

Astrobytes: Settings

Default avatar.png KP56: imagine calling yourself "poopy"

Default avatar.png KP56: couldnt be me

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: right ok i changed it

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: so a multiplayer bot programming game?

Wontonimo: sigh ... my rank just keeps dropping. It would go back up if I jumped on CoC, but that's a hamster wheel I'm giving up on

Wontonimo: Nice new name ChickenCoder123

Wontonimo: yeah i'll get a link for you

Wontonimo: https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/coders-strike-back

Astrobytes: Only temporarily though Wontonimo. Not worth the effort imo

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: wait the rank is more than just clash of code?

Astrobytes: Yes. I don't clash at all.

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: oh

KiwiTae: clash of code gives u up to 5000pts

Wontonimo: yes, Clash of Code is only a very very small part of rank

KiwiTae: so small

Astrobytes: oh hey KiwiTae

sprkrd: you could just try to reach gold in every multi, Wontonimo

Wontonimo: tiny even

Wontonimo: I'm going for Legend sprkrd :D

Astrobytes: Legend or delete :D

sprkrd: Sure, like everyone

Wontonimo: 100%

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: just wait a week ill be up to top 1000

Wontonimo: do it ChickenCoder123 ! I support your ambition

KiwiTae: im going for silver in coders of caribbean >< will see

KiwiTae: ChickenCoder123 good luck

sprkrd: but if you're concerned about the rank mainly, you can set gold in every multi as a first stop

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: what is multi

sprkrd: activities>compete>bot programming

sprkrd: those are multiplayer games

Wontonimo: i'm unconcerned about rank

sprkrd: ah, then all is good

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: wise indeed

Wontonimo: ChickenCoder123 Coders Strikes Back is a "multi" https://www.codingame.com/ide/puzzle/coders-strike-back

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: ah i see

ja_fica: Connect4 is cool if you want to try

Wontonimo: Show us your stuff ChickenCoder123 and get to Bronze in Coders Strikes Back. You should be able to get there by just flying straight at the checkpoint and slowing down a bit when you are within 1000 of it

Wontonimo: I haven't started on Connect4 yet. Started porting my UTTT code, but then got distracted with work

sprkrd: stupid work

sprkrd: always distracting from the important things

ja_fica: code transfer from UTTT works pretty well

ja_fica: But in connect for you can predict up to 3 plays ahead for each node while UTTT I can only predict the next one

ja_fica: *C4

ja_fica: Binary tricks for life

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: I was too confused for connect 4

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: i didnt know what to do apart from not placing it on a full column

sprkrd: but you do know now?

ja_fica: Its good to apply simulation on a time bukket

ja_fica: minmax or MTCS are greate

ja_fica: *great

ja_fica: or both (MTCS solver - better version)

Wontonimo: I agree sprkrd , work is such a drag

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: hey um for the coders stikes back thing can the angle of the next checkpoint be negative?

sprkrd: yup

sprkrd: it's between -180 and 180

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: oh that makes sense

sprkrd: the ranges of the inputs should be at the end of the statement

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: Hello World

sprkrd: yo, my favorite rammstein fan

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: nahhh , iam not a special rammstein fan i am only a fan of music :)

Astrobytes: I love Rammstein

Astrobytes: And music, generally

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: I love all kind of Music .. i think it depends on the emotione i have or i want.

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: emotione=mood

Astrobytes: I agree

sprkrd: all kinds? really?

sprkrd: i'm good at finding counterexamples

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: yeah no joke , i can hear all if i am in mood ^^

Astrobytes: I'm not a fan of classical opera. I think that's about it

darkhorse64: chvrches, a nice scottish band

darkhorse64: ?

Astrobytes: Yes, they're pretty good

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: let me check that :P

sprkrd: here's one for you, General_Imaginaer, lover of all kinds of music

sprkrd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWVUp12XPpU

sprkrd: John Cage, 4'33

darkhorse64: I have heard there will be a new album (not the compilation). Also a new single with Robert Smith

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: chvrches dont sound bad ^^

BlaiseEbuth: Oh the 4'33 ^^

Astrobytes: with Robert Smith! Nice

Astrobytes: lol, classic

darkhorse64: Their first album is still the best for me

darkhorse64: Others are fine though

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: @sprkrd ok i test that ^^

Wontonimo: Hey ChickenCoder123, you submitted a bot! Good for you, and you've already got out of wood 3 and 2

Astrobytes: Can't say I disagree there darkhorse64

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: why i have the feeling they dont will play sound xD?!

sprkrd: :D

sprkrd: It's 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence

Astrobytes: *ambience

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: i like that ... but i would not buy the cd ^^

Astrobytes: what did he call it? Unintentional sounds only, as all sound can be considered music

BlaiseEbuth: General_Imaginaer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It5vKbJvgmw

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: The best is the emotion from john cage ... like he feel something xD

Westicles: Nice protest. No masks even

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: lol @blaiseebuth, thats a good song and a good interpretation :P

BlaiseEbuth: The yodle is fire. ^^

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: ^^

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: good in combination with some beer

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: rofl .... for the next celebration i need all songs from this dudes :P

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: For the Summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSwQ1icECNg

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: btw they are from austrian

Westicles: How about some mongolian throat singing?

Westicles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LPoWiU9PPo

BlaiseEbuth: That's pretty cool. I saw the Hu in concert two years ago.

Astrobytes: Nice!

Astrobytes: I like their stuff

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: @westicles Thats a cool desert adventure xD

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44Dls5kugck Sounds a little bit like a death metal singer xD

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: after 0:50

Astrobytes: General_Imaginaer: check the Hu that BlaiseEbuth mentioned, they do metal stuff with throat singing

BlaiseEbuth: ^

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: ok the last , i need to solve some puzzles :O)

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: yeah , they come in my muscle training set xD

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: playlist

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: Ok thanks for all this new music ... new was to torture my friends :P

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: wys

darkhorse64: chvrches is not torture more heavenly stuff

Astrobytes: yeah, Lauren has a lovely voice

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: all of this songs was not realy torture ... that is that what i mean its mutch about mood and the mood you want ... you own experience and more ...

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: its like colors ... we interpret it ... , and some pictures are cool other are realy bad

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: but you will find for every bad picture someone who would say that is nice

Astrobytes: Sure, one persons trash is anothers treasure

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: right

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: and find a good chartbreaker song is like find a song that the most of people like

Astrobytes: that's a whole other discussion :P

Default avatar.png General_Imaginaer: hehe

kyoya34: hello

Default avatar.png nickeyminasj: hi

Default avatar.png nickeyminasj: thoughts on pineapple on pixxa?

Uljahn: ask Automaton2000

Automaton2000: i'm doing the coders strike back?

Default avatar.png Brejchys: how can I play the card games?

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: hey guys for coders strick back how long does the boost last?

Wontonimo: 1 turn i thought

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: how long is that?

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: is one turn like one loop?

Wontonimo: 1 step. just 1.

Default avatar.png Brejchys: well, how do you make it to go only once?

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: if i play with 100 thrust for just one turn how far in pixels will that get me

Wontonimo: it depends what your previous speed was

Default avatar.png KP56: let me calculate

Wontonimo: because there is drag

Default avatar.png KP56: if your initial speed is 0

Uljahn: boost is 650 thrust

Wontonimo: i think the info in the write up explains the exact calculation

Default avatar.png KP56: i think it will get you around 400-500 units forward

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: in wood 1 league, (where i am right now) all it says is that you can use boost to increase speed just once

Default avatar.png KP56: yes

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: oh thanks k056

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: kp56*

Default avatar.png KP56: yes but it will keep doing it for a while

Default avatar.png KP56: it will take around 5 loops

Default avatar.png KP56: to move 400-500 units

Default avatar.png KP56: if you keep applying 100 thrust during them

Default avatar.png KP56: it will be even more

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: oh

Default avatar.png KP56: the best way to use boost would be to store all distances between checkpoints during the first lap and then just use it once you pass the one which there is the highest distance to the next one

Default avatar.png KP56: i dont know if it makes sense

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: yeah right now all i have is the distance to the next checkpoint

Default avatar.png KP56: and checkpointX and checkpointY

Default avatar.png KP56: right?

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: yeah

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: only next_checkpoint x and y btw

Default avatar.png KP56: in c++ its called differentely

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: oh

Default avatar.png KP56: store the shortest distance in a variable and a pair of checpointX and checkpointY and if the distance you find is lower than the one which is in the variable then override that pair of coordinates with the one which you are presented during that loop

Default avatar.png KP56: you can also keep track of all pairs and if you find a duplicate, it means that you have completed the first lap

Default avatar.png KP56: and then you just wait until you pass the checkpoint before the one you have saved

Default avatar.png KP56: and you use boost

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: yeah that makes sense

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: i guess theres some small details i might have to worry about

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: for example if there are two or three checkpoints with same distance between each other

Default avatar.png KP56: then it doesnt matter

Default avatar.png KP56: your program will save the first one

Default avatar.png KP56: and since its the same distance it doesnt matter which one you use boost for

Default avatar.png KP56: you need to make sure the angle is low before you use boost

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: it might in the sense that the program will think one loop is finished when in fact we havent finished a lap and there is a checkpoint with higher distance

Wontonimo: have either of you heard of the -3v algo for Coders Strikes Back ?

Default avatar.png KP56: yeah

Default avatar.png KP56: i tried it out and got to silver

Default avatar.png KP56: it was my own implementation of it, there may be a room for optimization

Default avatar.png KP56: and i calculated velocity and used it instead of thrust

Wontonimo: it'll get you to gold without much alteration

Default avatar.png KP56: for now im working on a simulation

Default avatar.png KP56: it would be a very simple one - no collisions just thrust

Wontonimo: how about you ChickenCoder123, have you heard about the -3v algo?

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: nah

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: literally just started this

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: but don't tel me about it

Wontonimo: ok

Wontonimo: but i already did

Wontonimo: lol

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: like dont tell me how it works

Default avatar.png KP56: i was about to

Default avatar.png KP56: lmao

Default avatar.png KP56: if you run a simulation it will perform better than it and at some point you will need to implement a simulation

Default avatar.png KP56: so it wouldnt be a huge problem

Wontonimo: i will tell you this, go to the leaderboard and watch replays of people who are beating you or who are way higher than you. Turn on debug and watch how they are different.

Default avatar.png KP56: i mean the name of this algho speaks for itself lmao

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: i haven't actually played in arena too much yet cos i was eating dinner

Default avatar.png KP56: im wondering if you can get to legend without predicting collisions

Wontonimo: you can

Default avatar.png KP56: oh nice

Default avatar.png KP56: if thats the case, if i didnt mess anything up, i should be there in like an hour

Wontonimo: with 5 look aheads for checkpoint touching only

Default avatar.png KP56: oh ok

Default avatar.png KP56: i was thinking about simulating entire laps (once i pass the first one so i know all checkpoint positions)

Default avatar.png KP56: and since im coding it in c++, it should be efficient enough to not get a timeout

Default avatar.png KP56: can anyone tell me why there is an error in this c++ class?

Default avatar.png KP56: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/cb39859c-57c9-45ca-9c92-2a1f56872c17

Default avatar.png KP56: it keeps telling me my constructor should initialize location

Wontonimo: I just looked at your current replay KP56 and you arn't using -3v

Uljahn: don't spend much efforts in silver, gold rules are very different

Default avatar.png KP56: yeah im not because i ran just 100 thrust last time

Default avatar.png KP56: to see how far i can get lmao

Wontonimo: well you are not initializing location

Default avatar.png KP56: i am in the constructor

Default avatar.png KP56: but it keeps telling me my constructor does not do it

Wontonimo: where in the code are you calling the constructor?

Wontonimo: okay, now's the time I admit my c++ ignorance. I just hack c++

kyoya34: hello

struct: he is not calling it, but he has the constructor there

struct: is the Checkpoint(Point location)

Astrobytes: I think he means where in the rest of his code is he calling it ;)

Astrobytes: Maybe he's just doing Checkpoint cp; since there's no default constructor that might do it

Default avatar.png **nickeyminasj cry

Default avatar.png Plantchant: cry

Default avatar.png nickeyminasj: cry

Default avatar.png Nikita2003: cry

Default avatar.png Nikita2003: cry

Default avatar.png Nikita2003: cry

Default avatar.png Nikita2003: cry

Default avatar.png Nikita2003: cry

Default avatar.png **nickeyminasj slaps Nikita2003 around a bit with a large fishbot

Astrobytes: beat me to it

Default avatar.png Plantchant: thats a lot of cry

TeachMeSenpai: ;o

Max98: why are all the private clash of code games so much easier then the public ones? And why can't you just hit play again?

Default avatar.png KP56: what changes in gold in coders strike back?

Astrobytes: Most of the inputs

Astrobytes: Unfortunately.

Default avatar.png KP56: you dont get nextCheckpointAngle?

Default avatar.png Brejchys: wtf is this

struct: you do

Default avatar.png Brejchys: coders strike back

Default avatar.png Brejchys: my speed doesnt change

Default avatar.png Brejchys: at all

Astrobytes: You do. You get a lot more additional info too.

struct: But you get all checkpoints at the start of the game

Astrobytes: And velocity etc

Dragon84: Hey guys

Astrobytes: hi

Default avatar.png KP56: oh i used to calculate velocity by hand

Default avatar.png KP56: good to know

Astrobytes: Yeah, it's rather annoying.

Default avatar.png Brejchys: why does the simulation of battle against the boss not show?

Default avatar.png Brejchys: it caltulates but doesnt show anything

struct: refresh the page

struct: I thing its a bug

MiyamuraIzumi: ha ha

MiyamuraIzumi: hi guys

struct: hi

Default avatar.png fyseus: hi

Default avatar.png Brejchys: yes

Default avatar.png Brejchys: was a bug

MiyamuraIzumi: :confused:

MiyamuraIzumi: :kiss_ww:

Default avatar.png Brejchys: i think i just defeated boss 3

MiyamuraIzumi: ?

MiyamuraIzumi: which game?

Default avatar.png Brejchys: coders strike back

Default avatar.png Brejchys: yes

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: Rn i'm 2nd in silver and I'm waiting to be promoted in gold in coders strike back

MiyamuraIzumi: a lot of new comer for csb

MiyamuraIzumi: congratulate

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: ty

Default avatar.png Brejchys: i am getting better every second

Default avatar.png Brejchys: in bronze tho

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: I made it from bronze to gold without changing the code

Default avatar.png Brejchys: lol?

Default avatar.png Brejchys: i mean

Default avatar.png Brejchys: it does make sense

Default avatar.png Brejchys: since most of the game seems like about the best way to use your speed to your advantage

Default avatar.png Brejchys: so

Default avatar.png Brejchys: if you can do that you can probably push far

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: yes, silver only adds the shield but not even the boss uses it lol

Default avatar.png Brejchys: what is a shield?

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: when you activate it, the engine stops for three cycles but if someone gets on you it is thrown farther

Default avatar.png Brejchys: ahhh

Default avatar.png Brejchys: so it sounds strong

Default avatar.png Brejchys: if it sends him away from his next target

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: The problem is, you don't know if you are helping him or not

Default avatar.png Brejchys: you probably can figure it out

Default avatar.png Brejchys: based on your x,y

struct: its not very usefull on silver

Default avatar.png Brejchys: his x,y

Default avatar.png Brejchys: and next checkpoint x,y

struct: you only need shield at top legend

Default avatar.png Brejchys: right?

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: yeah

Default avatar.png Brejchys: does it make sense to ever go 0 speed?

Default avatar.png Brejchys: i dont think so :D

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: i just go always at 100

Default avatar.png Brejchys: really?

Default avatar.png Brejchys: thats pretty stupid i think

Default avatar.png Brejchys: i mean

Default avatar.png Brejchys: you need to slow down before a checkpoint

Default avatar.png Brejchys: to maximize your results

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: i turn before the checkpoint

Default avatar.png Brejchys: ohhh

Default avatar.png Brejchys: you can see where next checkpoint will be?

Default avatar.png Brejchys: like if you are going to 2nd you can see 3rd x,y:

Default avatar.png Brejchys: ?

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: no but i remember them for the 2nd lap

Default avatar.png Brejchys: oh shit

Default avatar.png Brejchys: thats some next level

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: ty

Default avatar.png Brejchys: is there always 4 checkpoints?

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: nope

Default avatar.png Brejchys: but is it always the same?

Default avatar.png Brejchys: or dynamic?

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: dynamic

Default avatar.png Brejchys: oh

Default avatar.png Brejchys: so how do you remember them?

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: when i see that nextX changes i save them in an array

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: when i see that nextCheckpointX c

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: ops

Default avatar.png Brejchys: ?

Default avatar.png Brejchys: right

Default avatar.png Brejchys: thats really cool

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: I save the x and y values of the checkpoint when I see them change and when the value is equal to the first I know that I have done the first lap

Default avatar.png Brejchys: i understand

Default avatar.png Brejchys: sorry for the ?

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: np

Wontonimo: hey, congrats on getting to 2nd place in Silver tommaso.castello

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: Ty

Default avatar.png Brejchys: what time can you get to better league?

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: 1 min and 12 sec

Default avatar.png Brejchys: so you have to be 1st or 2nd for 1 min and 12 sec?

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: no untill 17:16 for some reasons

Default avatar.png Brejchys: oh what

Default avatar.png Brejchys: so the next time i can get better is tommorow?

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: idk the time changes

Wontonimo: it says at the top of your IDE

Default avatar.png tommaso.castello: for gold leage is at 23:14 now

KiwiTae: Brejchys nah once your bot settles above the boss , you just need to wait, no matter the results of new battles

Default avatar.png KP56: who wants to play in a private clash

Wontonimo: nope

Wontonimo: it's against my religion

Wontonimo: or I need to walk my dog

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: hey um i dont get it im winning against this boss but im still not going into the next league

Default avatar.png KP56: it is possible

Wontonimo: oh?

Wontonimo: your battles have to finish

Default avatar.png KP56: some algorithms are better against the bot itself and others against other players

Default avatar.png KP56: has happened to me before

Wontonimo: and the timer in your IDE may say it can take a few minutes or hours

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: which timer

Default avatar.png KP56: on top of your screen there will be atimer if you can get to the next league

Wontonimo: you are not better than the boss

Wontonimo: submit to arena and you have to beat all the people in your league and the boss

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: oh ok

Wontonimo: you probably only beat the boss in "play my code"

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: yeah

Wontonimo: but you have to beat everyone in "test in arena"

Wontonimo: cool!

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: are they different bosses?

Wontonimo: nope, same boss, but "test in arena" will make your bot play dozens of games, and it has to win more on average against the boss and the other top players for you to get promoted

Wontonimo: not just 1 win

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: i see..

Wontonimo: win on average

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: wait i was rated 200 and i just dropped to 950 in like seconds

Wontonimo: yup, happens

Wontonimo: your ranking is based on your win/loss - 3 * standard deviation of your win/loss

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: bruhh how do you know this

Wontonimo: if your bot is inconsistent it will rank lower than a similar win/loss bot that is consistent

Wontonimo: i hang out in world chat a lot

Wontonimo: and talk to the mods

Wontonimo: nicely ;)

Default avatar.png ChickenCoder123: lmao

NasrAllah: where i can find

NasrAllah: leaderboards

NasrAllah: okay found it thanks

BlaiseEbuth: for?

derjack: while!

Astrobytes: do while!!

BlaiseEbuth: li = [1, 2, 4, 6]

SubwayMan: Hi, what's the proper keybind for copy pasting from vim mode in editor?

SubwayMan: "*y is not working for me, and neither is the typical ctrl C

BlaiseEbuth: :help

BlaiseEbuth: and then rtfm

BlaiseEbuth: :p

derjack: vim is so addictive. i cant quit :(

Astrobytes: :smirk:

BlaiseEbuth: is :help working ?

SubwayMan: Doesn't seem to be

BlaiseEbuth: Anyway tha depend of your mode

SubwayMan: yeah I tried it in visual mode

SubwayMan: as well as normal

Default avatar.png KP56: VIM is the only proper IDE

struct: When i activate vim by mistake the only way to get out is to shutdown the computer

Default avatar.png KP56: even though it's not an IDE

Default avatar.png KP56: everything else is inefficient

SubwayMan: @struct just :q!

BlaiseEbuth: in visual mode once the text selected the default copy key is y

SubwayMan: or :wq

Default avatar.png KP56: vim is the only one which doesnt require you to use mouse

Default avatar.png KP56: to edit

Default avatar.png KP56: so its the best one

struct: I like my mouse

SubwayMan: @BlaiseEbuth yes but that doesn't copy to clipboard I believe

BlaiseEbuth: Nope

SubwayMan: typically the copy to clipboard command is "*y

Default avatar.png KP56: @struct your mouse slows you down - learn how to use vim

SubwayMan: but that doesn't seem to work :grimacing:

struct: no thanks

BlaiseEbuth: vim vanilla does not copy to clipboard

Default avatar.png KP56: imagine having to copy

Default avatar.png KP56: couldnt be me

BlaiseEbuth: Without extra config the copy-pasting is only in vim

BlaiseEbuth: So if CG haven't done such config...

SubwayMan: really? I believe the typical behaviour is that "*y should copy to the register specified, in this case the clipboard

BlaiseEbuth: Not sure...

BlaiseEbuth: Last time I used vim I had to configure it for that.

Default avatar.png KP56: as far as i know copying is unnecessary

Default avatar.png KP56: as it requires you to imput 2 EXTRA CHARACTERS

SubwayMan: cool story bro

struct: *y copies all?

SubwayMan: I just wanted to take some code that I wrote for a puzzle and test it on my own machine

SubwayMan: *y still doesn't copy to clipboard unlucky

struct: so what does it do?

SubwayMan: it copies to vim's local register or something so you can place it again with p

SubwayMan: but it isn't saved to clipboard

BlaiseEbuth: For that precise case, just use right-click...

SubwayMan: @BlaseEbuth I'm looking at my vimrc right now and I'm not seeing any copy paste configs

SubwayMan: yeah I can use right click but using the mouse to copy feels so gross lol

SubwayMan: I don't understand why there isn't a quick command for copying to clipboard, oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

BlaiseEbuth: Hmm you're right. My config was to use clipboard by default, and so with y and not *y.

Default avatar.png QuickMathzs: take a look

Default avatar.png QuickMathzs: its in a book

Default avatar.png QuickMathzs: reading RAINBOWWW

derjack: oO

dbdr: " Use the system clipboard set clipboard=unnamedplus

derjack: could be another NN in oware? :thinking:

SubwayMan: codingame customizeable vimrc when? :smirk:

dbdr: jolindien?

derjack: maybe

derjack: anyone higher than msmits is nn no?

jolindien: salut

jolindien: dbdr ?

derjack: do you use NN in oware?

jolindien: yes

derjack: :scream:

jolindien: I test Marchete tool

derjack: nice

dbdr: what is marchete tool?

jolindien: https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/alphazero-like-implementation-for-oware-abapa-game/191477

derjack: https://www.codingame.com/playgrounds/58137/alphazero-like-implementation-for-oware-abapa-game-codingame/environment-preparation

dbdr: nice, thanks!

jolindien: 2 good links :)

jolindien: nice c++ code

jolindien: his NN is so much more efficient than mine

derjack: still below than marchete

BlaiseEbuth: as above so below

Astrobytes: the Oware NN battle escalates again eh

struct: yeah, keep them away from c4

derjack: then ill write article about NN for c4 :imp:

struct: I feel like robo has the same problem that re curse had on Spring challenge

struct: where vs weaker bots it struggles

LazyMammal: NN aren't really smart. They just learn a bunch of patterns (and slightly generalize from that). If you don't train it, it can't learn it!

eulerscheZahl: RAIC just sent the emails to claim prizes - just 6 months after the contest

LazyMammal: So it's a good idea to train NN against really bad, some random and the NN previous best. Only replace best when it can beat all of the above.

eulerscheZahl: they get faster :o

Smelty: gasp

Astrobytes: ah yes, thanks euler, just received it

Wontonimo: +1 LazyMammal

Smelty: +1

derjack: -1

eulerscheZahl: pro tip: order the hoodie 1 size larger than the tshirt

Astrobytes: I was expecting to wait until november

Smelty: hm

Wontonimo: well, you're just -1 because you are upside down derjack

Astrobytes: I only got t-shirt :(

Smelty: loll

**eulerscheZahl inserts "it's something" meme

derjack: welp alphazero doesnt use pitting like alphago zero does

Astrobytes: :D

Wontonimo: i remember from Marchets writeup that he keeps the last 3 iirc, and only promotes if >55% win

derjack: good for him

Wontonimo: you could just expand that to last 30 and only if >55% win on all

Wontonimo: or instead all previous and just ladder them like CG does

dbdr: eulerscheZahl: dice duel referee does funny stuff with the player score (-1 when you run out of dice, counts dice twice). should I make a patch for it?

eulerscheZahl: huh?

derjack: blame the approvers

eulerscheZahl: do you have a replay to illustrate the problem?

eulerscheZahl: why do I always make these stupid bugs in my contributions? :(

derjack: and why approvers dont see then

dbdr: it does not appear in a replay, just if you use the CG api e.g. https://github.com/eulerscheZahl/Dice-Duel/blob/f9a4a1c945dda326c56fc28b089818844bf40606/src/main/java/com/codingame/game/Referee.java#L47

dbdr: leads to a -1 score, should be 0 I would say

dbdr: also each dice is counted twice :)

eulerscheZahl: moderation guidelines are pretty lax for approvers. you aren't supposed to read the code

derjack: phew

dbdr: because the score is already set, then you add it a second time

derjack: so all blame comes from the contributor

dbdr: that's cosmetic, just means 6 to 4 dice shows up as 12 - 8

dbdr: the -1 is more annoying, looks like a timeout

eulerscheZahl: i see. PRs are welcome. otherwise i'll do something about it myself

eulerscheZahl: i never noticed because there is no endscreen

eulerscheZahl: but it can confuse 3rd party tools such as brutaltester and cg-benchmark

dbdr: when speech synthesis for the end "screen"?

dbdr: need a new challenge after 3d ;)

eulerscheZahl: :D

eulerscheZahl: and allow every user to upload a sound file with the own username

Astrobytes: jeez :D

dbdr: LD

eulerscheZahl: is basically i'd just have to change line 36 to player.setScore(0)

dbdr: with a flag

Default avatar.png KP56: wait

Default avatar.png KP56: in gold league in coders strike back i control 2 PODS?

eulerscheZahl: and not undo the crashed status

dbdr: a real timeout should be -1

eulerscheZahl: could add the crashed status as extra argument to lostGame()

eulerscheZahl: intelliJ is open

derjack: KP56 yes

eulerscheZahl: should work, right?

eulerscheZahl: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/738624bd-2751-449c-8194-e86224879038

eulerscheZahl: oh wait no. still have to consider the no-moves case

Nekko551XD: for bot games does it take one input in time limit or it can change depending on the number of calculations program can make in that time limit

LazyMammal: all the bot multi games are turn-based

Astrobytes: Each iteration of the main loop is a turn. All inputs are read, you have n ms to 'think' and output one move per iteration.

LazyMammal: And no, preloading future moves. And you can't bank time.

Nekko551XD: I got it, thanks

LazyMammal: First turn is usually 1000ms and other turns 50ms. So you can pre-calc stuff but your bot will have to queue it up in bot memory only.

Default avatar.png KP56: is there a memory limit?

Default avatar.png KP56: int a[100000000] :D

eulerscheZahl: 768MB

dbdr: looks good to me, what's the issue?

eulerscheZahl: dice duel draft: https://www.codingame.com/ide/demo/88879705770da9f81e8edaed5aefda860cd479

eulerscheZahl: looks fine to me, i'll just push it

eulerscheZahl: https://github.com/eulerscheZahl/Dice-Duel/commit/3c1ea974a485750e93909c7b564f9eeddf194991

Default avatar.png KP56: what's the push the collision gives in coders strike back?

Default avatar.png KP56: is it just opponent's vx and vy?

Default avatar.png KP56: multiplied by 10 if they use shield

eulerscheZahl: http://files.magusgeek.com/csb/csb_en.html

eulerscheZahl: that describes the CSB physics

Default avatar.png KP56: ok

derjack: ahhh the legendary fight between euler and magus https://youtu.be/UoPqoctg21k?t=41

dbdr: :D

eulerscheZahl: but who won in the end?

aCat: :joy_cat:

derjack: play chrono trigger and find out

eulerscheZahl: turn 5, you weren't supposed to do that https://www.codingame.com/share-replay/565971609

eulerscheZahl: my move validator is bugged but now i can't change it anymore

Astrobytes: Why not?

eulerscheZahl: i want to consider the initial field as visited too

eulerscheZahl: you can't visit a cell twice on your path

eulerscheZahl: i even mark it as visited in the animation

Astrobytes: Yep, gotcha

derjack: oh

dbdr: the referee is 100% identical to the referee

dbdr: aka it's not a bug, it's a feature

Astrobytes: :D

eulerscheZahl: i'll keep it now, not to break any bots :(

derjack: nothing has mattered, nothing will

dbdr: I discovered it by accident :_)

eulerscheZahl: me too. my accident is called dbdr

derjack: oO

BlaiseEbuth: Oh! Same as his parents!

BlaiseEbuth: :speak_no_evil:

dbdr: :innocent:

Astrobytes: wtf BlaiseEbuth :rofl:

BlaiseEbuth: Not me. My keyboard typed by itself.

eulerscheZahl: reading my code, it seems even worse than just the starting cell

derjack: oh my

eulerscheZahl: when i generate moves to test if there are still any valid actions left, it looks fine. but when applying the user action... :(

eulerscheZahl: i think i should patch it

Astrobytes: I haven't checked properly but it sure sounds path-worthy

Astrobytes: *patch-worthy

derjack: :unamused:

Monicka: Hello, I'm facing a problem with my current account and I

Monicka: m not sure who should I ASK

eulerscheZahl: explain it in short here

derjack: try discord

eulerscheZahl: we might tell you to contact Thibaud depending on the issue

Monicka: the problem is that I've created my account with facebook and my email used there isn't available anymore, and I m not able to change neither my email nor my password

Monicka: cause I don't have the email to reset the password

Monicka: and I didn

Monicka: t remember my password because I ve used to log in with my facebook account

Monicka: how can i contact thibaud?

KiwiTae: on discord

Monicka: oo i see

dbdr: when dice bot Astrobytes? ;)

Monicka: I will try there then

eulerscheZahl: there is some combination of setting your email and using the forgot password link, isn't there?

Monicka: thanks

Monicka: i didn t find this combination

eulerscheZahl: others managed to change their login to password on their own

Astrobytes: When I get back into things again dbdr, this is my first full day back after a little break ;)

Monicka: i just have to enter my password for changing my email and for changing my password i need my current password as well :)))

eulerscheZahl: i don't know the exact way as i've always used my email+password

LazyMammal: <shooting in the dark here> can you authenticate with Facebook again and get the new email updated?

dbdr: full day of CG Astrobytes? :)

Monicka: well I m not that familiar with this site

Monicka: I ve used a while ago and now I ve started again

Monicka: and I want to keep this account

eulerscheZahl: https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/cannot-change-email-or-password/841

LazyMammal: worst case just start a new account. but yeah, staff on Discord is worth a try. Link up top

eulerscheZahl: the problem is as old as the website

eulerscheZahl: a bit more detailed: https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/cannot-login-with-google-anymore-changed-e-mail/2819

Monicka: thank you, I'll look over the links too

eulerscheZahl: or ask Thibaud ;)

Monicka: and I ve just joined discord

Astrobytes: dbdr: well no, but first full day I've been logged in :D

Astrobytes: (for a while)

eulerscheZahl: how's your hand?

Astrobytes: A lot better thanks euler

KiwiTae: Astrobytes hurt yourself? Oo

Astrobytes: It's still awful putting pressure on the worst part but I can type normally again at least

Astrobytes: KiwiTae: Yeah, fractured part of my wrist and bottom part of my hand

eulerscheZahl: did you punch something?

KiwiTae: :worried: patpat

Astrobytes: No, then I would have broken knuckles!

Astrobytes: And it's my left hand.

eulerscheZahl: also sorry dbdr, I'm about to break your bot

derjack: :O

Astrobytes: I crushed some garlic. It's the whole fragile bones thing.

eulerscheZahl: gene manipulated garlic?

dbdr: revolution!

Astrobytes: (I did use some force on the back of the knife to crush it)

derjack: gmo garlic tried to kill him

Astrobytes: Normal garlic. My bones are trying to kill me.

derjack: :older_man:

Astrobytes: I'm very young to have this issue actually.

Marchete: :head_bandage:

eulerscheZahl: https://prnt.sc/16mv4gw

Astrobytes: Nice job in Oware Marchete :)

dbdr: https://i.snipboard.io/FXNUTL.jpg

eulerscheZahl: :D

dbdr: shame on you eulerscheZahl ;)

eulerscheZahl: bug abuser!

dbdr: mid-perfect-submit!

Astrobytes: :rofl:

dbdr: how should I know it's a bug?

eulerscheZahl: it's clearly written in the statement

eulerscheZahl: and the viewer even shows your path taken

dbdr: there's a statement? :O

derjack: who reads statement? game should be clear enough

eulerscheZahl: did you only do it for the first cell? because you could visit any cell multiple times

dbdr: only first, yes

derjack: if the game is famous, you dont need the statement at all. like chess or paper soccer

eulerscheZahl: or 2048

derjack: or onitama

struct: paper soccer doesnt need a statement?

Marchete: rejoin oware, Astrobytes

derjack: struct this is famous game in school (at least in pooland)

struct: I wanted to try d&b but I dont know how to handle so many moves

struct: Ah, I never played it

philRG: dice duel seems less laggy

eulerscheZahl: do you mean pool-land?

eulerscheZahl: still waiting for the zarthaxx sprites

dbdr: btw kovi also uses the "bug": https://www.codingame.com/replay/565977109

eulerscheZahl: the last ones he gave me made it much more laggy

eulerscheZahl: i'm really sorry for allowing that to happen in the first place and breaking your bots now :(

philRG: ah ok no pb

philRG: well not often I am Top 5 :-D

eulerscheZahl: https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/coders-of-the-realm---1v1/leaderboard my only #1 spot

Astrobytes: Marchete: I shall, soon!

philRG: let us know when it is fixed

eulerscheZahl: when what is fixed? sprites will take a while if it ever happens

eulerscheZahl: the move validation is already fixed

eulerscheZahl: might not even affect your bot

philRG: ah yes i will try it Bob's contribution :-)

eulerscheZahl: don't take it away from me :scream:

philRG: no chance :)

Marchete: :thumbsup:

Marchete: do a NN, ezpz!

KiwiTae: philRG grtz on your submit i saw you pass me on caribbean~

philRG: ah yes I picked some ideas from the referee for the gameplay, quite funny

philRG: that was not so difficult to climb on it for me on this one

philRG: indeed only the Coord and CubeCoordinate classes from the referee, and then 20 lines for the main IA (3-4 if/elif/else)

philRG: and basic functions to manage the cannonballs system and synchronisation

dbdr: damn you euler! :D http://cgstats.magusgeek.com/app/multi-dice-duel/dbdr

derjack: Oo

derjack: now do amazons

BlaiseEbuth: You have to cut one of your tits dbdr...

EMERALDZZZ: hello

struct: need some1 to push msmits down

struct: Im almost there

darkhorse64: ask yurkovas

struct: https://i.imgur.com/a3yQK2s.png

struct: :D

darkhorse64: he has done a pretty good job already

YurkovAS: :smile:

Landan: I'm sad that I can't show my solution to Jack Silver: The Casino because it's too slow but I like it because it looks so clean

jacek: hm?

fvla: Has anyone else here used F#?

jacek: F++?

fvla: nope

fvla: F#

struct: never

fvla: i'm quickly becoming an F# addict

fvla: I think I need help

BlaiseEbuth: Yeah. There's some on my piano. Should've already used them... :thinking:

fvla: sweet, i have those on mine too

KiwiTae: philRG im gonna catch up hopefuly hehe wdone

jacek: sudden interest in c4 eh

struct: simple game

struct: but rps

struct: imo

struct: finally

struct: thanks for the push :D

struct: Now I can ditch this game

YurkovAS: :tada:

jacek: uh oh someone needs to update his book

Marchete: connect 4 is good for NN or not jacek?

jacek: i use NN

jacek: but locally i have some rps issues

Marchete: rps?

struct: rock paper scisor

jacek: i have something that wins 70% but is weaker overall

Marchete: ahh

Marchete: wait, struct beats Smits?!

struct: I got pushed

struct: check last battles :p

Marchete: do you have 50GB of books too?

struct: no book

struct: ok my book is play move 2 on first turn

struct: or w/e it is

Marchete: pure AVX raw power then?

struct: I use avx to get winning moves

struct: and to check for wins

struct: The check for wins is not really needed but I never finished the other version

Marchete: why it isn't needed?

struct: if you check if opponent has 2 winning moves

struct: you lose

struct: or if the move that you can play to prevent him from winning also makes him win

struct: So you dont really need to check for a win

Marchete: so you play to avoid the enemy win?

darkhorse64: in playouts

Marchete: I've heard that on infinite connect4

struct: yes in rollouts as darkhorse said

jacek: infinite connect4?

jacek: https://img-comment-fun.9cache.com/media/axzdo7M/arQ5YQdK_700w_0.jpg

Marchete: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-31866-5_18

Marchete: you can ask smits to pay 26 eur

jacek: it says 30.69 eur

jacek: did he see that

Marchete: that must be theorical stuff

Marchete: like just creating patterns

Marchete: but most literature talks and use minimax. Not a lot of MCTS

geppoz: well I brought MCTS in JS in top 15 :D

geppoz: shame on me?

Marchete: this is madness

struct: how many rollouts geppoz?

Marchete: 3

struct: lol

geppoz: at first turns 1000

geppoz: at mid game 5000-7000

geppoz: got a bit of improvement with tree reuse

geppoz: moving root down and continuing from existing tree

geppoz: I have a last optimization to do, hoping get top 10

geppoz: then porting in c++ ;)

struct: you could also try adding mcts solver

struct: but im not sure if it will help

geppoz: done

struct: ah you have solver?

geppoz: y

geppoz: well at first I "invented" the solver

geppoz: :D

geppoz: by pruning out the math wins and losses

geppoz: then MSmits teached me the "solver" existance

geppoz: so I learnt the theory

struct: I see

struct: I also learned the theory from the chat

struct: Then I tried reading the code that is in the paper

struct: and was confused

geppoz: uh same, bad code, but theory is ok

geppoz: btu it is missing the "draw" part

Default avatar.png PranavVK: what am i supposed to do about the security check? where i prove im not a bot?

Nekko551XD: does that pop up a lot for you ?

Default avatar.png PranavVK: first time, altho its just my second day of playing

Default avatar.png PranavVK: ive played alot today though

Nekko551XD: the reason may be because you keep multiple codingame pages open in tabs

Default avatar.png PranavVK: nah i only got 1

Default avatar.png PranavVK: Security Check Clash of Code is meant for human coders only, please prove you aren't a bot!

Default avatar.png PranavVK: there's nowhere for me to prove

Nekko551XD: just reload page

Default avatar.png PranavVK: yeah the captcha showed up now thanks lol

Default avatar.png PranavVK: i even exited the page and came back and it didnt work

Nekko551XD: not sure why after all i am not expert here XD

Nekko551XD: hf playing

Default avatar.png PranavVK: lol thanks

envifly: coc grind

Default avatar.png adila: a lot of the puzzles here are put in the wrong category IMHO

Default avatar.png FBF_Luis: I have a question. I just finished my first weekly but it really needs some optimizing. Can I submit now and change it later? Or once it's submitted I can't change it anymore?

therealbeef: you can always resubmit

Default avatar.png FBF_Luis: ok, thanks :)

therealbeef: submissions get stored on the server as well

Default avatar.png FBF_Luis: oh cool, so I can see it even next week for example

therealbeef: yes, when you open a puzzle or multi the next time it shows the code that you last submitted

therealbeef: and there's a history of all submits too, when you check the 'results' on the left there is a history tab

Default avatar.png FBF_Luis: yes, I had already noticed that, but I didn't know if it was the same for weekly problems

therealbeef: oh, the 'weekly' is just a label put on one of the existing puzzles or multis. it doesn't change anything about them

therealbeef: one of the CG guys picks a puzzle to put in the spotlight for a week

Default avatar.png PranavVK: am i blind or does anyone know where i go to try to make a coding puzzle of my own

Default avatar.png PranavVK: or challenge or whatever it's called

Default avatar.png PranavVK: nvm i am blind, i found it
