Mchamburger: anyone use this platform to have coding interview?
MadKnight: yea there were some people
Raidorx: y this fucking hard
Tarkro: so... I got a clash of clan.. reverse mode.. no idea what was going on tbh
Tarkro: input= 101
Tarkro: output = 10201
impatmcb: n**2
Tarkro: input = 1111
output = 1234321
impatmcb: n*n
impatmcb: or n**2
Tarkro: input = 22
output = 484
Tarkro: those are the ones i can remeber
impatmcb: You want me to give you the answer again?
Tarkro: i think another one was something like this
input = 264
output = 696969
But I'm really not sure about this one though
impatmcb: 264 * 264 = 69696
Raidorx: what u guys think of my title its called escape the doors
Darkdarkbruhbruhlmao: DARK DARK BRUH BRUH LMAO
Raidorx: ()_()
Xotiic_312: hello
Xotiic_312: this is hard
Xotiic_312: but fun at the same time
derjack: woah tryangle catch as potw
Halo1005: hi
TheArchitect485: Hello
Radu_Sav: I dunno this triangle game looks hard....
derjack: you are so squared
Radu_Sav: :flushed:
OMEGALUL0: guys anyone know a coding puzzle in some gaming bar? cant remember the name
OMEGALUL0: it had 1970-1980 vibes
ErrorRazor: A puzzle on codingame?
OMEGALUL0: yes
OMEGALUL0: u get some hints and u solve problem with coding
derjack: the escape thing?
OMEGALUL0: no idea cant find it
[CG]Thibaud: this? https://escape.codingame.com/?continue=%2Fgames
darkhorse64: @[CG]Thibaud: Is there a way to change boss names in contributions ?
OMEGALUL0: oh yeah that one
AntiSquid: ^ people are yearning to express their creativity
hahahabro1: rtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrt
anantaCodes: Does making semi correct submission for problems in Practice lead to deduction of XP in case I make a fully correct submission later on?
MadKnight: nop
[CG]Thibaud: I'm not sure darkhorse64
darkhorse64: ofc, I have looked into the SDK documentation/samples but I found nothing.
tarsumae: :heart_eyes:
derjack: :thinking:
derjack: hmm is the player is boss you could set different text in the viewer
darkhorse64: Reading the message after the move and if "ClobberSan", tweak a few things. It will change only the viewer part. Not a satisfying solution
Astrobytes: Hacky. And only partial.
Astrobytes: Oh, Tryangle Catch potw
darkhorse64: I am looking into BotG repo. There is a "bossNames.txt" file
AntiSquid: right
AntiSquid: i am not sure if that was for saiksy to look at and add the names manually
Astrobytes: Also that was pre-SDK iirc
darkhorse64: I'll do a quick test back home.
AntiSquid: ya it was for human reading :P
wlesavo: hey guys, does anyone have a link for A* validators, i remember seeing it somewhere
AntiSquid: pre-sdk was very similar to current env from what i can see Astrobytes
AntiSquid: well that wasn't pre, more like beta version
Astrobytes: gotcha
AntiSquid: mean max was pre
darkhorse64: So boss names is a hidden feature ?
Gilqamesh: I have 10 fps on the website, does anyone know how to improve that? :)
Astrobytes: wlesavo: https://github.com/dbdr/codingame-validators/blob/master/A*Craft
AntiSquid: no, it's manually added
AntiSquid: DarkElf3
AntiSquid: darkhorse64
wlesavo: Astrobytes nice, thx a lot
Astrobytes: no problem
darkhorse64: :disappointed:
wlesavo: been out for quite a while, looking for it job, but now im done, so back to cg :slight_smile:
Astrobytes: Wondered where you'd been, welcome back :)
AntiSquid: oh double Hulk for wood6 :D
AntiSquid: forgot about it
AntiSquid: hey darkhorse64 just give it a try anyway? there is at least 1 in a million chance it will work
Butanium: anyone here who did the platinium rift 2 code programming challenge?
wlesavo: Astrobytes yeah, those interviews and test projects take most of my free time after raic
AntiSquid: Butanium yes
AntiSquid: only question i will answer though
darkhorse64: Butanium: read the post mortems. There is a lot of information here
Astrobytes: wlesavo: I can believe that. Found a good new job then?
wlesavo: Astrobytes yeah, in c++ actually, didn't started yet, but im pretty excited
Astrobytes: Ah excellent, well done!
AntiSquid: had a job interview late last year, one of the questions was how i will feel about working from home 99% of the time and not seeing anyone face to face, no human interaction ... i said we still have online team meetings, it doesn't bother me :D
Butanium: do you know how I can get the opponent base in this challenge?
AntiSquid: i think they wanted to hear something else
Astrobytes: It sounds ideal! :D
AntiSquid: this was one of those jobs where i didn't care if i get it or not once they made the details of day-to-day work clear
Butanium: Like is this possible to get the ID of the opponent base?
AntiSquid: the advert was overhyped basically
wlesavo: thx :slight_smile: i really didn't expected to get a decent job with no experience, but cg counts for smth, and i did learned a lot during interview stage
Astrobytes: Butanium: When you read inputs on first turn
AntiSquid: didn't you 10 year lab experience count wlesavo ?
AntiSquid: or what was it you're proficient in anyway?
wlesavo: well it is not programming related in any way, so for most companies it didnt matter
Astrobytes: Butanium: If your current zone owner id matches yours, it's yours. Otherwise if it's the opponent id, it's the opponent base
Astrobytes: On the first turn.
darkhorse64: First turn, only bases are populated
Astrobytes: ^
AntiSquid: what do you need to do if you don't mind me asking wlesavo ? either way congratulations on finding something you like
wlesavo: AntiSquid but i ended up in a partially scientific development, so it mattered for them
AntiSquid: AHA ! .... well that's diff then :P
Astrobytes: Certainly can't hurt anyway :)
wlesavo: AntiSquid well it is computer vision lab, but im in computer tomography division
Astrobytes: Nice!
Butanium: oh wait doesn't the fog war prvent me from knowing who own the base?
wlesavo: and they do actually publish most of their results, so kind of scientific
AntiSquid: close enough
darkhorse64: The base is always visible
Astrobytes: ^
Astrobytes: Fun game.
darkhorse64: Completely different from PR1 and more accessible
Butanium: only the base, not every zone right?
Astrobytes: Yes and yes.
Butanium: ok thanks a lot ^^
Astrobytes: YurkovAS: welcome to Clobber :)
YurkovAS: Astrobytes thanks
derjack: clopper?

NoisNette: lmao jk
JLukeSkywalker: we cant have ai's on here writing ai's, the world would end
JLukeSkywalker: the beautiful captchas will save us

NoisNette: i know
NoisNette: it was a joke
thanshaw: how's everyone doing today?
creeperZnation4: Pretty good if I do say so myself
thanshaw: Awesome, same here. It's my day off of classes, figured I'd take a break from this queue project and do some practice on here
jacek: queue project?
thanshaw: have a project for my data structures class, need to solve a maze using a queue implemented with a linked list. Have t find the quickest path through the maze, it's pretty fun - but my first time working with a queue
creeperZnation4: Queues are interesting, aren't they XD
AntiSquid: FIFO thanshaw
thanshaw: They really are :p and yup, FIFO! I'm a little stuck on it, but I just need to put in some more time, it's not too bad
Lachrymosa: Is the maze always exterior wall entrance and exit?
thanshaw: you start at 0,0. It's built from a 2d array of type char - and ' ' represent spaces you can move to, and '*' represent blocked off spaces. What you do is you mark the path taken with an 'X' as well
AntiSquid: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/queue-cpp-stl/ thanshaw
Lachrymosa: do you know the exit coordinate?
thanshaw: and you end at [height - 1][width - 1]
AntiSquid: what language do you need it in lol
thanshaw: c++, i made some good head way though already :)
AntiSquid: click link
thanshaw: we actually are using an implemented queue al;ready, no libraries for it, so we can really learn the concepts fromt he ground up
AntiSquid: ...
AntiSquid: lol
Lachrymosa: I'm not sure how I'd solve it with a queue but I would flood fill from the exit. Or hand on right wall method for initial sim solve and trim extraneous paths with heuristics.
jacek: just use reverse stack [solved]
thanshaw: it's a classic queue problem i guess
AntiSquid: you add the neighbours of 0 0 to queue, then remove the 0 0 from queue then proceed with next element
thanshaw: but i'd prefer learning it this way rather than using a library, i mean in the future i'll probably only use a library for it. but this way i get hands on work with a queue, and really understand what's going on under the hood
AntiSquid: there's not much to learn about it
Lachrymosa: AntiSquid wouldn't that be similar to just going by nodes without a struct?
thanshaw: well i know how a queue works, but actually using it is what i've never done before, it's why i'm in data structures haha
AntiSquid: the queue is implemented as a list Lachrymosa
AntiSquid: not the maze
thanshaw: it's super interesting though, i'm having fun learning it
AntiSquid: what do you mean you're in data structures?
Lachrymosa: hm, im not getting it then
jacek: his house is heap
thanshaw: i'm in a class about data strcutures, queue's binary trees, linked lists
thanshaw: how to implement them without libraries, and how to use them practically
AntiSquid: ok not much to learn then
thanshaw: kek
thanshaw: to each their own
AntiSquid: less typing and you'll be done in 10 mins
Lachrymosa: https://classes.adamaviv.com/ic312/f16/project/01/project.html like this?
thanshaw: pretty similar yeah, he gave us the que implementation already. so all we have to do is write out solve method that takes queue objects and adds them into the queue
AntiSquid: Lachrymosa that image explains what i said earlier lol https://classes.adamaviv.com/ic312/f16/project/01/maze_solve.gif
Lachrymosa: Yea, I like pictures better, it helps me
AntiSquid: thanshaw if you didn't finish yet your project, you're overthinking it, remember this line every 5 minutes
thanshaw: my understanding is you keep ENQUEUEing until you hit a barrier which is '*' in my case, once you hit that you DEQUEUE right? this is my first time working with a queue, so i'l still trying to grasp it
jacek: this is what you do with graphs https://github.com/jdermont/YaPaperSoccer/blob/master/ai_readme/bfs_combined.mp4?raw=true
Scarfield: thanshaw https://www.redblobgames.com/pathfinding/a-star/introduction.html has some really nice illustrations and explanations of pathfinding algorithms, that will help with understanding it :)
thanshaw: yeah sorry, i've only been working with c++ for a little bit now, this is my first actual in depth class using it - before this we just learned a lot of the basic things like struct's, class's, dynamic allocation
thanshaw: thank you! :) not looking for answers or anything, figuring it out on my own is how i really grasp it - but this helps a ton!
AntiSquid: what is the point of DEQUEUEING after you reach * ? and how would you do that anyway?
Lachrymosa: When would it be beneficial to use a queue for maze solving over say flood fill?
AntiSquid: i kind of do most of the time Lachrymosa
Lachrymosa: Is it down to preference or are there benefits to one over the other?
thanshaw: not sure, all i know is solving mazes is a classic queue problem, may not be the best but it's been used as a queue example for a very long time
AntiSquid: queues and floodfill aren't mutually exclusive either
jacek: doesnt floodfill use queue?
Lachrymosa: I suppose that is true, you're just queuing from the end first?
Lachrymosa: I haven't implemented a floodfill with a queue before, but I also do some hacky solutions to things being self-taught lol
AntiSquid: https://www.cs.mtsu.edu/~cs2170/xmanual/lab12/linkedlist.gif
AntiSquid: trying to find an animated gif
jacek: use queue to search for it
AntiSquid: ... this discussion is way too long lol
EmirGanovic: hello
AntiSquid: hi EmirGanovic
thanshaw: yeah you add to the queue from the back of the list, and DEQUEUE from the front
thanshaw: if you;re using a linked list, but it's similar with arrays and other data structures i think
NINJAPRIYANSH: Hi!
NINJAPRIYANSH: Hey can anyone help me with The Descent
NINJAPRIYANSH: ?
jacek: hm?
rjpvroegop: How can I add someone as friend, I only see a follow option
ZarthaxX: that's the one rjpvroegop
ZarthaxX: NINJAPRIYANSH what do you need?
Boreal: shibbydibbydoo badababa boop
Boreal: babadabap boop
AntiSquid: lol their usernames do look like that don't they ?
AntiSquid: get avatar or kick, can't spam like that without avatar btw
jacek: if you get avatar, you can spam all you want
AntiSquid: if you also engage in a meaningful conversation once a month why not ?
Boreal: ?
Boreal: oh nice
Boreal: well
Boreal: i mean for some reason I wanted to say it cause a puzzle I said had that as a test value
jacek: oO
Wilster: -=W=-
MadKnight: is that the W from your nick?
jacek: UwU
KelvinAndHubbles: It could be the W from his nick, but its also a symbol he just randomly says. He said it around last thursday at 3 in the afternoon
Westicles: He loves Tungsten
Wilster: =_O
AntiSquid: no avatar = no spam
SunnyCommitter_8582: hello does anyone knows what kind of problemes oracle gives for fullstack engeneers
SunnyCommitter_8582: and if they are timed
AntiSquid: ya i just found out on google
SunnyCommitter_8582: what kind of problems found here?all graphs and mazes related?
AntiSquid: very varied, but not related to fullstack for most part
AntiSquid: why oracle btw? i see negative interview reviews
AntiSquid: need to cook something ttyl, will read chat when i return if you wish to answer
SunnyCommitter_8582: cause i like the company
SunnyCommitter_8582: and if i fail i gained some experience anyway
SunnyCommitter_8582: win-win for me
SunnyCommitter_8582: especially since it is my first job after graduating
SunnyCommitter_8582: btw i don't live in US so it is a good choice here
SunnyCommitter_8582: can you help with what topics to focus on in exemple:graphs,dynamic programming etc
AntiSquid: :thumbsup:
AntiSquid: fullstack topics
SunnyCommitter_8582: i have a test here first :D
SunnyCommitter_8582: can't open the link to not start the timer
AntiSquid: https://www.toptal.com/full-stack/interview-questions
AntiSquid: you have to fill out interview questions on CG ?
SunnyCommitter_8582: yeah
SunnyCommitter_8582: a challenge i think
AntiSquid: never done mine on CG
AntiSquid: do some of the puzzles
AntiSquid: if you can get decent rank in one of the multiplayers i think you should be fine
SunnyCommitter_8582: thanks :D
AntiSquid: https://www.glassdoor.co.in/Interview/Oracle-Full-Stack-Developer-Interview-Questions-EI_IE1737.0,6_KO7,27.htm#InterviewReview_29065270
SunnyCommitter_8582: seems pretty random
AntiSquid: if you beat this one you can easily beat interview questions imo https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/botters-of-the-galaxy
AntiSquid: problems for interviews are usually very random and vary from company to company
SunnyCommitter_8582: yeah,i got rejected from an interview cause i didn't explain how djistra works lol,hate randomness
SunnyCommitter_8582: anyway ,thanks for the help,will try your challenge
Astrobytes: Was Dijkstra relevant to the job?
SunnyCommitter_8582: nah,i m fullstack dev,don't see graph theory that relevant
Astrobytes: Well if you're called upon to be doing some backend stuff you very well may have to be.
AntiSquid: hey i had to do a reverse engineering puzzle in one of the interviews and it wasn't relevant to my job, but it was related to the company and its history sort of, still most fun interview puzzle of them all :D Astrobytes
SunnyCommitter_8582: guess i just did,'t expect that
Astrobytes: AntiSquid: yeah, that sounds fairly cool actually
AntiSquid: job was for coding using an in-house created script language basically and some side tasks different languages
Astrobytes: SunnyCommitter_8582: they might be using graph based tech for one or more aspects of their product(s) so...
SunnyCommitter_8582: yep ,i understand :D
Astrobytes: Fullstack means fullstack, not as little backend as possible and loads of frontend :P
AntiSquid: well it's oracle, do a bit of research you should find out very soon where you need them
Daymato: hi, do I learn javascript or php after html css ?
Astrobytes: Yes.
AntiSquid: quite sure graphs can be useful for some of the backend stuff, some .
AntiSquid: but sometimes it's like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/db/e7/7c/dbe77c7503740fd647815708b8a4a265.gif
SunnyCommitter_8582: and i ll just copy the implementation from google,as all devs do
AntiSquid: hm you might get something similar in the interview, better be prepared lol
SunnyCommitter_8582: time to prepare ,enjoy your day guys :D
AntiSquid: https://sensortower.com/blog/speeding-up-the-backend-with-graph-theory
SunnyCommitter_8582: does the impostor syndrome ever go away?
SunnyCommitter_8582: most devs i know suffer from it
AntiSquid: maybe if you wouldnt fail graphs
Astrobytes: lol
Only if you're fully confident in your expertise.
SunnyCommitter_8582: sad squid noises
Astrobytes: It's not just a dev thing.
Astrobytes: Also, look at it as hubris vs humility. You have to know when to go for one and balance it out.
AntiSquid: funny but you're not helping anyone, not even yourself
AntiSquid: just acknowledge where you stand, realize it doesn't matter, try improving, simple @_@
AntiSquid: also do https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/botters-of-the-galaxy
Astrobytes: sigh
AntiSquid: why sigh ?
Imsure1200q: sighting
Lachrymosa: Check out the dunning krueger effect. Theres a lovely curve of confidence to experience and it dips pretty low before it goes back up again. If you maintain the mentality that you're never the best because the best is a perpetually moving target you're doing alright
AntiSquid: :100:
Wontonimo: what's shaking? talking about imposter syndrome again.
Wontonimo: i vote you off the spaceship... to the airlock with you! Wait, that's a different game
