eulerscheZahl: good morning AutomatonNN
AutomatonNN: seems like the contest i stopped working on the contest i got a second
-Gamma-: @AutomatonNN
AutomatonNN: wait that would be a good idea to code and will that another one have the problem
-Gamma-: this really is a bot...
-Gamma-: oh it is
eulerscheZahl: so is Automaton2000
Automaton2000: or any of the other
eulerscheZahl: and AutomatonNN tends to ping me (was way worse in the past), see how he started a sentence with my nick a few messages above
AutomatonNN: because i was trying to find a strategy for sure
-Gamma-: yeah i see
jacek: agade came back to oware :scream:
LelouchVC2: This is the story of a girl
AntiSquid: prince of bel-air ?
LelouchVC2: Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
LelouchVC2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIANBamMgas
AntiSquid: downvote followed by ctrl+W
LelouchVC2: LMAO
pb4: jacek : is he that scary ? :japanese_ogre:
eulerscheZahl: one called his avatar "creepy"
eulerscheZahl: long ago, i don't remember who said it
Agade: If you find out who that was, I'd like that information, for research purposes
iPythonTrick: Guys
iPythonTrick: I need help
Gaurav.: what kind of help?
iPythonTrick: 3
4 --> 21
iPythonTrick: 2 --> 20
8
iPythonTrick: I know but I can't apply iot
iPythonTrick: it*
-Gamma-: what....
iPythonTrick: listen
iPythonTrick: Input: 3 and 4
iPythonTrick: Output: 21
Gaurav.: 4*(4+3) and 2*(2+8)
-Gamma-: okay
iPythonTrick: Should I do it in python?
-Gamma-: 7*4 is 28.....
iPythonTrick: or java
Gaurav.: 3*(4+3) my bad
iPythonTrick: script
Gaurav.: do it in python
iPythonTrick: give me the code :/
Gaurav.: a=int(input())
b=int(input())
print(a*(a+b))
jrke: K
iPythonTrick: WTF
iPythonTrick: you genius
iPythonTrick: omg
Gaurav.: bruh XD
iPythonTrick: How long have you been programming?
Gaurav.: 2 years
iPythonTrick: I see
iPythonTrick: :D
iPythonTrick: What languages are you good at?
Gaurav.: c and python
iPythonTrick: Oh
iPythonTrick: C is complex
Gaurav.: not really it is really fun to code in C
eulerscheZahl: especially parsing strings
Gaurav.: yup
struct: ^
-Gamma-: tf.... is happening
-Gamma-: oh okay
iPythonTrick: how to find the sum of the mods of a list of numbers
eulerscheZahl: "sum of mods"?
Gaurav.: ?
eulerscheZahl: mod = modulo i guess
eulerscheZahl: but still unclear
iPythonTrick: You must find the sum of the mods of a list of numbers.
Modular arithmetic refers to the remainder of the divide function. A mod B = the remainder of A/B.
iPythonTrick: For example:
5 mod 2 = 1
15 mod 6 = 3
-Gamma-: .....
struct: tot += a % b;
iPythonTrick: oh wait
Gaurav.: use the "%" modulo operator
iPythonTrick: should I loop the list and calculate the modules?
struct: yes
Gaurav.: if u want to do it in python u can use list comprehension
iPythonTrick: I am using C#
-Gamma-: then just use a simple loop
eulerscheZahl: m = int(input())
nums = map(int, input().split())
print(sum(n%m for n in nums))
Gaurav.: just loop over them and keep adding it to an accumulator
eulerscheZahl: python
eulerscheZahl: how dare you using C# and calling yourself iPythonTrick
iPythonTrick: idk
-Gamma-: lol
iPythonTrick: my old acc
Astrobytes: That's the 'Trick' part you see euler
iPythonTrick: :"""D
iPythonTrick: euler, it's not working
Gaurav.: lmao
iPythonTrick: INPUT: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/a41e6fea-5a67-466a-9649-368bb15aca75
iPythonTrick: wtf
iPythonTrick: I suck at programming
iPythonTrick: damn
hearthewarsong: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/d1e18820-42aa-42fd-936d-9a6d742a4e91
eulerscheZahl: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/5035ba23-b994-4183-ad56-0c84d13a22f5
hearthewarsong: Is tehre any more link like this?
iPythonTrick: It doesn't work euler
eulerscheZahl: maths? do you mean matches?
eulerscheZahl: it does iPythonTrick
eulerscheZahl: https://www.codingame.com/ide/demo/7302335bd0cdab1a829987bd4b2de8de657622
eulerscheZahl: all green with my code
eulerscheZahl: seems that line 2 was added later
eulerscheZahl: thus you have to read an additional line of input now
struct: hearthe I think euler article is a good start
iPythonTrick: damn I suck at programming
iPythonTrick: >_______________<
struct: I used it to write a C# program to get some stuff from API
iPythonTrick: what was it called?
struct: the problem is API is undocumented
-Gamma-: just barycenters and pathfinding arent't enough for power of thor ep 2 right....
eulerscheZahl: so the playground you linked shows you how to find the API calls yourself instead of listing one or two
Gaurav.: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/65d52ee4-b773-4a64-a574-35be0e2b4f2c
-Gamma-: ....
Mal30: nice catch, blanco nino
Mal30: those "make the code as short as possible" are boring and a poor assessment of coding abilites (IMO)
CorentinPETIT: I'm already struggling with level 2, i'm gonna get my butt kicked tommorow at my interview
Gaurav.: its gonna be fine dude have faith in urself and index arrays starting at 0
CorentinPETIT: Thanks man
Uljahn: at least you'll get some experience with iterviews
AntiSquid: well with that mindset you surely will CorentinPETIT
eulerscheZahl: in Pascal you can decide the starting index of arrays on declaration
eulerscheZahl: 0, 1, -42, 1337
up to you where it starts
JBM: they dropped that in perl
Astrobytes: Raku > perl 5
JBM: they never had that in perl 6
Astrobytes: Missed that one for your TvC
JBM: well it's kind of specific
Astrobytes: I admit I never used Raku/Perl 6, it didn't seem... appealing
struct: Top 4 thales :p
Rush_iam: Hello. I am newb and dealing with "Horse-racing Duals"... is there a way to get proccessing time my code took?
Snef: MSmits are you here ?
eulerscheZahl: if you are timing out, all you know is that it took more than 1s
eulerscheZahl: for smaller testcases: the stopwatch equivalent in your language of choice
Rush_iam: I didn't understood, didn't know how to approach it... So if I am not timed out - how to get exact execution time in "ms" ?
jrke: which lang you are Rush jam
eulerscheZahl: you can't. your program will be terminated before finishing
eulerscheZahl: but check the hints on the left
Rush_iam: jrke, Python
jrke: K
jrke: i don't know about python so i can;t help you
Rush_iam: jrke, there is a way for other language?
jrke: if you are not timed out then you can check the execution time in ms
jrke: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/measure-execution-time-function-cpp/
jrke: for c++ ^
jrke: just replace microsecond to milliseconds
eulerscheZahl: obviously you can measure time in python too
eulerscheZahl: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=python+measure+time
eulerscheZahl: but as i pointed out earlier: your process will get killed before finishing. so you never reach the point where your program would print the total time
Andrelamus: Will shortest mode ever be removed? probably not....
Hankdane: Rush_jam, write a unit test for your function(s) and print out the time it takes for smaller samples.
Hankdane: Or run your code in your own environment, so your process can run to completion.
Rush_iam: Thanks, jrke, eulerscheZahl, Hankdane!
jrke: :)
Hans-Peter-Ingo: Can i write somebody directly a message?
Uljahn: ye but only to ppl online
eulerscheZahl: or you send a private message via forum. that even triggers an email notification
Astrobytes: Agade's new Oware NN is pretty strong
eulerscheZahl: how do you know it's a NN?
Astrobytes: He told us a while ago, until recently his last submission was fixing something he'd messed up
Astrobytes: Not sure what he's done this time
Scarfield: AstroPlays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG1yUs0ybys
Scarfield: andrew white :)
Astrobytes: Yo GuitarField, yes, I actually was in time today to pick up the link from chat. I see what you mean :)
Astrobytes: Excellent stuff, hadn't heard of him at all
Scarfield: yea he is great, subbed to pierre yesterday :)
Astrobytes: Yeah, he's amazing
Astrobytes: Oooh also check out Yvette Young, bit different but what a talent
Astrobytes: Plays guitar like a piano, essentially
Scarfield: wow and violin and sings, always nice with some new artists shoutouts :)
Astrobytes: Yeah, she's unreal
Astrobytes: And yeah, absolutely
darkhorse64: The top 3 at Othello are very strong. I am winless against each of them
darkhorse64: and they keep on improving
struct: What are you using darkhorse64 if I may ask?
jacek: true ai
darkhorse64: MCTS with solver and full random playouts
Scarfield: bitboards?
darkhorse64: ofc
Scarfield: yea :)
jacek: solver is quite ass with those passes
trictrac: Othello is with a finish "horizon" it can be very good to use MCTS
Scarfield: have you considered symmetry yet darkhorse?
struct: He probably has templates from other multies
struct: So I guess the answer should be yesa
Astrobytes: Oh trictrac, slightly off-topic, but what do you think of these potential game suggestions from Maxime?
"What do you think about these games? https://bkgm.com/variants/NoChanceBG/index.html and https://bkgm.com/variants/DominoBackgammon.html do you think it could be good games?"
Astrobytes: (and anyone else who's interested ofc)
jacek: youre asking trictrac if backgammon is good game :?
Astrobytes: lol
darkhorse64: Pass made me sweat. I reset the tree when I skip move. No symmetry. trictrac: you think MCTS can be a good choice ?
Astrobytes: MCTS has only (fairly) recently been applied to Othello (compared to alphabeta-style algos), so might take a little bit of work
trictrac: darkhorse64 : yes I am using alpha-beta and I am sure than MCTS will defeat my bot
trictrac: Astrobytes : I will have a look on your game proposal
Astrobytes: trictrac: not mine, was CG Maxime on the discord channel
darkhorse64: Says the man ith a 15 points lead against me.
darkhorse64: *with*
struct: :D
Astrobytes: Just checked the leaderboard, that's pretty impressive
struct: I hope Msmits join soon
jacek: as soon as he finishes book
Scarfield: the smithy adviced to make a no-move node for passes, seemed a very good idea
darkhorse64: Anyway, I am not desperate. I see lots of areas for improvement. Faster engine, using an eval
eulerscheZahl: so Astrobytes was right about who will be the first to beat the fox
struct: trictrac I always see you with Le Renard and Eric SMSO when a multi releases, do you guys do a small competition?
Astrobytes: Yes, eulerscheZahl. I was right even last night :)
Astrobytes: struct Thales vs Thales inter-competition :)
trictrac: I think we have the same kind of story with programming and we are all 50th
darkhorse64: Yes, I have a no move node, it makes things simpler but I have not yet found a way to deal when I skip moves. My opponent may play several moves in a row and it's difficult for me to know their order. SO I reset my tree. Anyway, when you start skipping moves, you are almost always in bad shape
EricSMSO: darkhorse64: It is the first time I program Othello. Simple min/max with my evaluation function. Sure you will do sometjing better
jacek: i need sleep. i read ejaculation function
Scarfield: oh havent considered that would be a problem yet, was just thinking of passes comming in one at a time, nice one
Astrobytes: Oh dear jacek
EricSMSO: jacek ?
darkhorse64: My last bots with eval + MCTS were a lot stronger than vanilla MCTS by a huge margin
darkhorse64: For these kind of things, I prefer to do it myself
darkhorse64: @jacek
Scarfield: evaluations?
Astrobytes: hahaha
Scarfield: xD
jacek: see, and youre way behind the top
darkhorse64: I should ask daaskare to join to increase the Thales group size
Astrobytes: Thales vs The World
jacek: whos thals
NaelDEV: Hello
trictrac: Astrobytes : backgamon with no dice, It 's very interresting
darkhorse64: Regarding new games, a backgammon bot would be interesting: dice + strategy
Astrobytes: trictrac: Yes, I'd not come across these versions before
Astrobytes: darkhorse64 see my links I posted to tric
Astrobytes: It's suggestions from Maxime (CG) on the discord, dice-less BG, 2 variants
darkhorse64: Seen 'em. I was just pointing out the element of randomness within the game makes it interesting for a bot to deal ith
Astrobytes: Hm. Can go either way I suppose
struct: I don't like rng, that's why I never ported a game with it
struct: I was gonna port this one https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/117/ta-yu
darkhorse64: my keyboard is aging. damn 'w' key
Astrobytes: struct what was the river flow tile game?
struct: But had rng
Astrobytes: yeah that
EricSMSO: @stuct : about tt, lR and me: we seem to like the kind of games
Astrobytes: Then again though struct, the rng factor might make these games a little more interesting to other players, and add interest for current board game enthusiasts as there's a bunch of approaches for dealing with rng in board games
struct: I'm glad you enjoy them, even if the games can be a bit "similar" to other games
struct: I think of it like fog games, but I think the rng on ta yu is not that bad
EricSMSO: Except it's not yellow, or pink panther as we asked
struct: :D
Astrobytes: Or leopard-print, damn you struct :D
Astrobytes: I do think ta-yu would be interesting in whatever form
struct: I don't know what to answer on forum post on othello
struct: :rofl:
Astrobytes: lol, I think he's kidding knowing TBali :)
struct: I hope so
Scarfield: lol could hardly be anything but a joke :)
Scarfield: "(by some eval score)" :D
eulerscheZahl: sometimes he uses the forum like we use the chat: casual talk
NaelDEV: :grinning:
eulerscheZahl: and obviously a sorting of actions would make all random bots stronger :P
Astrobytes: Yep. You'll catch him more often on discord, you kinda get a feel for his humour :P
jacek: just make corners if you can and youll be higher
Scarfield: flashback of your 3 corners aginst the fox :p
jacek: hm?
Scarfield: el structo linked a screenshot of a game between you and the fox, you had 3 pieces in the end, all in a corner :)
jacek: delete dis
Astrobytes: lol
Scarfield: i think you were online, so assumed you saw it
jacek: today not so much
Scarfield: https://imgur.com/ZpDtEVQ cough
Scarfield: then i made this https://prnt.sc/sy5cdp
Scarfield: xD
AdamB: @DiL, mind giving a hint for https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/report/1255745832009ff2fab4f09c15ed0e11342e0d9 ?
struct: This was while the game was on demo though
struct: https://imgur.com/gq22L4o
DiL: @AdamB I shared my code
jacek: :o
AdamB: @DiL oh, NICE!
AdamB: thx
AntiSquid: dropped in othello, my D isn't powerful enough
darkhorse64: D << 1 ?
Astrobytes: Strengthen your D
darkhorse64: shift your D
ganond0rf: are there hidden test cases in clash of code?
LelouchVC2: Yes
LelouchVC2: Every test you see has a validator
LelouchVC2: to make sure u didnt hard code the outputs
ganond0rf: ah i see
ganond0rf: was just wondering cuz i got 100% of public test cases and only 75% of private
ganond0rf: and didnt hard code
ganond0rf: .-.
Astrobytes: Probably just missed an edge case/stress testing case
Astrobytes: Do more puzzles, you'll get a feel for the kind of things you should be on the lookout for
LelouchVC2: Happens all the time
LelouchVC2: It's stupid sometimes because you can't actually know what you missed
LelouchVC2: Especially in reverse when you might not know what an edge case would specificaally me
LelouchVC2: be*
Astrobytes: I prefer puzzles over clashes personally
Astrobytes: Not saying clashes are bad, just not my thing
LelouchVC2: The puzzles can be so boring
LelouchVC2: Feels like im just doing college assignments
Astrobytes: Don't do the ones that bore you then ;)
LelouchVC2: I don't ;)
Astrobytes: And there's much more satisfaction in the bot programming or optim sections
Snef: LelouchVC2 what about multis ?
LelouchVC2: multis?
LelouchVC2: and i entered that pacman thing, but it broken..
Astrobytes: https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer
Snef: it was a challenge but there is plenty of others
LelouchVC2: I had a copy of my bot that i kept in case i did something terrible, but even that didnt work
LelouchVC2: Im telling u that thing was giving me the IDs of dead pacs
Astrobytes: There's Bot Programming, Code Golf and Optimization, you'll never be bored again
Snef: Yea but you just had to ignore them if you didn't want to use that info
LelouchVC2: I couldnt
LelouchVC2: You only know when ur bot is dead through the ID or whatever in the league after the one i was in
LelouchVC2: My code was working fine for about a day. Then suddenly it gave me the IDs of dead pacs, and I'd lose half the games by giving orders to dead pacs
LelouchVC2: pissed me off
LelouchVC2: Bot programming was fun since it was a big competition, but it's not really my thing :(
LelouchVC2: I'll check out code golf I guess
Astrobytes: Sure, not every category suits everyone :)
LelouchVC2: And not all black lives matter
LelouchVC2: Finally, someone who gets it
LelouchVC2: "Binary is good! But unary is much better!"
LelouchVC2: Said no one ever
Uljahn: 50 shades of unary, Automaton2000
Automaton2000: u will be able to reach legend in csb
LelouchVC2: If you use 0s and spaces in unary
LelouchVC2: Then it's basically binary
