Imsure1200q: :) first tried a puzzle lol

Default avatar.png SilverEagle: LoL

Imsure1200q: my code complaining about literally the same value

Imsure1200q: imagine if i did x=r() and then for i from 0 upto x

Imsure1200q: where r() yields the same result every time

Imsure1200q: and so i replace the entire thing with `for i from 0 upto r()`

Imsure1200q: and suddenly its complaining about some completely different line like ha how did it get there?

Imsure1200q: huh???

Imsure1200q: game literally didn't output a direction

Imsure1200q: *input

Imsure1200q: yo i think this stuff needs fixing

Imsure1200q: broo

Imsure1200q: guys how do you report a bug

Imsure1200q: for a puzzle

ZarthaxX: prob you have a bug

Imsure1200q: cuz it just aint inputting one of the most necessary params

ZarthaxX: lol

Imsure1200q: look ok ill send you my code

ZarthaxX: no plz

ZarthaxX: what puzzle

Imsure1200q: 'Don't Panic'

Imsure1200q: well i am panicking so

ZarthaxX: you prob have a bug then

Imsure1200q: i dont understand cuz it says for every game turn

ZarthaxX: check if you read more lines than you should

ZarthaxX: so?

Imsure1200q: Line 1: 2 integers cloneFloor clonePos and one string direction. cloneFloor and clonePos are the coordinates of the leading unblocked clone. direction indicates the current direction of the leading clone:

ZarthaxX: so?

Imsure1200q: its literally only 1 line so i start to read that line

Imsure1200q: and

Imsure1200q: for some problems it does have all 3 params

Imsure1200q: *test cases

Imsure1200q: and for test case 4 it doesnt have all 3

ZarthaxX: you should try resetting your code and printing input

ZarthaxX: just to verify

ZarthaxX: but again, prob your bug

Imsure1200q: oh so thats how it ties with the for loop thing

Imsure1200q: i dont understand it though like its literally the same for loop as before i just rearranged the values

Imsure1200q: i've literally console.errored every value its the same

ZarthaxX: mm

ZarthaxX: i dont get what you just said lol

Imsure1200q: so lets say you have like a variable x = "24"

Imsure1200q: so thats a string

Imsure1200q: and you want to have a for loop starting from 0 and ending from that number in the string

Imsure1200q: *ending to

Imsure1200q: either you can do y = x converted to an integer for ( var i = 0; i < y; i++)

Imsure1200q: or you can do for ( var i = 0; i < x converted to an integer; i++)

Imsure1200q: due to substitution

Imsure1200q: for some reason though my for loop is treating it as if it werent the same thing

Imsure1200q: i kinda dont like that lol

Imsure1200q: i've even checked the type of the variable it said 'number' not 'string'

Imsure1200q: how in the world could it possibly think 1 >= 3

Imsure1200q: no way i've even checked if i+1 < 3 in the current iteration it said true like why do i need to put a redundant 3 characters in there

Imsure1200q: welp

ZarthaxX: im confused by your massive wall of text tbh :P

Imsure1200q: yeah like half of that are my train of thought

Imsure1200q: idk i fiddled with smth and it fixed it idk oh well whatever fixed now

Imsure1200q: "i have reached a limit of plays per period of time"

Imsure1200q: what

Imsure1200q: like do i need to buy some premium membership or something to unlock 50 more plays or somthing

ZarthaxX: no lol just stop spammingh submit

Imsure1200q: wasnt even spamming :(

Imsure1200q: oh cool

Imsure1200q: apparently javascript kinda has same string comparison with c++

Imsure1200q: so 'a'>'b' -> false

Imsure1200q: and 'b'>'a' -> true

Imsure1200q: everytime i close this chat bar and i see like 1000 my profile pictures on the right >:)

Default avatar.png shashankm: hello

Imsure1200q: hi

Default avatar.png shashankm: how should i start c++

Default avatar.png shashankm: i m a beginner

Imsure1200q: what i did was watch youtube and do a free course

Imsure1200q: for example w3schools.com

Imsure1200q: tho thats not exactly what i used but it works

Imsure1200q: will kinda give you the basics of c++ but it might still be confusing so youtube kinda fixes that

Imsure1200q: for example i watch javidx9, his video helped me actually understand pointers and references and stuff

Imsure1200q: however :exclamation:

Imsure1200q: i am not expert'

Imsure1200q: but thats just what worked for me personally but if you wanna try the same way thats up to you

Default avatar.png iThinkyouk: Do any of you find that the chat text input stealing the focus during a clash is kinda annoying? How do I disable it?

Imsure1200q: if its your first programming language you should also probably get used to some stuff

Imsure1200q: there is settings button

Imsure1200q: under chat box

Imsure1200q: click that

Imsure1200q: is the home page being blank because of my duckduckgo addon or its actually just blank

Imsure1200q: ok thats interesting lol

creeperZnation4: Personally, I don't mind the chat... If I find it disturbing, I just collapse it and forget about it

GoldenEra: i think u should learn c before cpp

baguettes: opposite works fine too

Default avatar.png jade_emperror: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/163640252d733cc2de38b1957d6679a7b373584

jacek: yhm

hooshemadhoosh: hey. I got error on running my cpp code. but CG doesn't show the input of test case that I stuck on it. it just says "expected sth and found sth else" is there any way to solve this problem?

hooshemadhoosh: is there anyone can help me?

jacek: so you printed wrong answer

hooshemadhoosh: :weary:

hooshemadhoosh: are you talking with me jacek?

jacek: yes

jacek: what puzzle

hooshemadhoosh: any

hooshemadhoosh: any puzzle

hooshemadhoosh: how can I check the input of TESTCASES?

jacek: click on the rectangles right to test cases

jacek: here https://i.imgur.com/OZYrord.png

hooshemadhoosh: thank you so much jacek:smiley:

jacek: :+1:

Dan4Life: hi

Dan4Life: just wanted to say it for no reason whatsoever

Default avatar.png heloche: hi

Default avatar.png heloche: we're two then

Default avatar.png Rypakka: HEy

Default avatar.png Rypakka: makes us three

AntiSquid: hi Automaton2000

Automaton2000: i think there was a bug in your code

Default avatar.png heloche: say what

Default avatar.png heloche: omg !

Default avatar.png heloche: lack of challengers today

Default avatar.png heloche: :rage:

AntiSquid: wdym? thousands are there waiting in the multiplayer section

AntiSquid: https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming heloche

Default avatar.png heloche: I mean still waiting too long

Default avatar.png heloche: do we earn xp point when "winning" the challenge?

jacek: oh, where are my manners

jacek: happy Caturday

Default avatar.png Rypakka: How do I return to the clash?

Default avatar.png Rypakka: I suddenly got kicked back to the lobby and cant reconnect

Default avatar.png Rypakka: After I submitted

Default avatar.png Rypakka: I can't even see the results

jacek: dunno. the best i know is to wait for clash over and youll get notification

Default avatar.png Rypakka: Ohh :/

jacek: no browser history?

Default avatar.png Rypakka: I keep getting error 505

Default avatar.png Rypakka: which prevents me from seeing each results of my previous clashes

jacek: oO

Default avatar.png ez9: how can I make a gui with c++?

codybumba: You can use MFC or Qt.

MadKnight: ez9 use any GUI library

Default avatar.png Norxen: SDL2 its good too

baguettes: Sad gtk noises

Default avatar.png Selim2004: im new

Default avatar.png Ordonnateur: isn't the tutorial boss of the week puzzle too good for a tutorial area ? it don't do a lot of mistake xd.

Default avatar.png heloche: howdie

Default avatar.png ROBO_17: howdie howdie how

Default avatar.png ROBO_17: haha

jacek: tutorial boos for puzzle of the week?

eulerscheZahl: tryangle catch

jacek: its tutorial?

eulerscheZahl: it's hard to nerf your bot when you have one ready :(

eulerscheZahl: the introduction league

eulerscheZahl: wood4

jacek: oh

Default avatar.png Ordonnateur: wooden 4 ligue are supposed as tutorial no ,

eulerscheZahl: yeah, I take the blame for the strong boss on me

Default avatar.png Disembleergon: Timeout: the program did not provide 1 input lines in due time...

jacek: use less time for boss [solved]

Default avatar.png Ordonnateur: (he even manage next zone to capture dist ç_ç, so many thing to implement just to go out of the tutorial xd)

jacek: Disembleergon it could also mean your program crashed

Default avatar.png Disembleergon: yeah Im new to pthon and write if(...) return ...

eulerscheZahl: the boss is weak in a way that it finds a close triangle but starts with 3 random units

Default avatar.png Disembleergon: I fixed it ^^

jacek: also, where are those original tags?

AntiSquid: wood league is trial by fire

AntiSquid: the worst is yet to come

eulerscheZahl: i completely lost motivation when I got the news that it won't be a contest

Default avatar.png Turtho: hello, i can't figure out how to keep a variable after a loop occurs, whenever it does 1 turn of loop my variables are wiped,

Default avatar.png Turtho: any help ?

jacek: Turtho what language

AntiSquid: euler do they give a reason when they reject it?

Default avatar.png Turtho: java

jacek: declare the variables before the loop

eulerscheZahl: declare the variable outside of the loop

eulerscheZahl: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Default avatar.png Turtho: ok thanks

jacek: slowzahl

AntiSquid: declare the variable outside the loop Turtho

eulerscheZahl: would have been fast enough to beat Astrobytes

jacek: e.g. after the loop

Default avatar.png Turtho: makes sense now ty

AntiSquid: no problem

AntiSquid: glad to help

Default avatar.png QueenRi: :nerd:

jacek: hmm kovi is leading in tryangle catch by much

eulerscheZahl: and jacek has a C# bot that does the same useless drawings as the boss :smug:

eulerscheZahl: :smirk:

baguettes: smirk smirk

Default avatar.png QueenRi: :rolling_eyes:

jacek: i copy pasted it from contribution

jacek: or maybe i taught NN to approximate your boss. who knows

Scarfield: a wild frog has appeared :) you have been missed by many

eulerscheZahl: but not forgotten. Automaton prevented that

Scarfield: xD

jacek: AutomatonNN really?

AutomatonNN: but it's not hard to tell if they make it better

Default avatar.png QueenRi: :astonished:

Scarfield: its a little sad that Astrobytes havent seen your burn, im sure he would appreciate it

jacek: also, happy Caturday

eulerscheZahl: i can show him my die instead

eulerscheZahl: https://prnt.sc/10kiz5x these rotations are hurting my head

eulerscheZahl: not actually "my" die, i just downloaded it

Default avatar.png QueenRi: :rage:

Scarfield: nice, wondered what you meant by "my die"

eulerscheZahl: not bad grammar for "my death" :P

eulerscheZahl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaXigSu72A4&ab_channel=MostlySimpsons

Scarfield: "no one that speaks german can be an evil man" xD

eulerscheZahl: as a kid i didn't understand that joke

Default avatar.png QueenRi: 4:thumbsup:

eulerscheZahl: will you stop spamming emojis QueenRi?

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Fine

jacek: https://9gag.com/gag/aDdx5VB

AntiSquid: woah not evenly spread cover even

jacek: and what do you need dies for

AntiSquid: aesthetics for casino game ?

eulerscheZahl: for a card game of course, strange question

AntiSquid: monopoly has cards

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Yeah

AntiSquid: why Ri and not Reeeee ?

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Seriously

Default avatar.png QueenRi: :rolling_eyes:

AntiSquid: ikr, how come you didn't think of it first is what i am asking myself too

Default avatar.png QueenRi: HUH!?!?!

AntiSquid: what

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Anyway it is tooo long

AntiSquid: cut few ees

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Nah

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Too much work

AntiSquid: the length is for dramatic effect

Default avatar.png QueenRi: :rolling_eyes:

AntiSquid: :rolling_stones:

AntiSquid: what are you up to anyway QueenRi ?

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Oh i am coding

AntiSquid: what exactly

Default avatar.png QueenRi: A GAME

Default avatar.png QueenRi: DUH

AntiSquid: could be anything else

AntiSquid: what game

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Like car race

AntiSquid: ah on codingame ?

AntiSquid: or you mean you write your bot for it ?

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Nah

Default avatar.png QueenRi: On something else

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Uh...

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Phython

AntiSquid: and what brings you here traveller ?

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Uh...

Default avatar.png QueenRi: Just saw

Default avatar.png QueenRi: it

AntiSquid: much wow

Default avatar.png QueenRi: :rolling_eyes:

jacek: oh my

kovi: ouch, cg runs on 2 type of (aws) instances nowadays?

eulerscheZahl: they took down the 3rd instance?

kovi: oh there are more? i just noticed 20% speed difference (and unfortunately I'm still that 20% slower than top in clobber)

eulerscheZahl: CG has different machine types. others did more investigation, I never really cared

AntiSquid: is 3rd instance related to this? https://channeldailynews.com/news/fire-burns-down-ovhclouds-data-centre-in-strasbourg/73440

struct: kovi I think there are 5 machines

eulerscheZahl: i've been told there's only 1 type in use for optims

eulerscheZahl: they even rejudged all submits when they switched hardware

AntiSquid: all the submit spam for nothing :'(

kovi: for which game?

kovi: oh i c

eulerscheZahl: my code vs zombies was downgraded significantly, i might have spammed there :innocent:

eulerscheZahl: but that's years ago now

kovi: well, only for mcts i look for pure speed. and even with that i havent noticed that much different with uttt/bt

struct: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/fb195ea6-b3e1-4a84-9e3d-4e526d2efcdb

AntiSquid: ?

struct: Is what I used to check how many machines there are

struct: Also some cpus have different flags

kovi: very nice struct, thx

struct: np

Default avatar.png lets_think: i

jacek: hmm

NoctalIvan: Hi guys, I got a free extra key for peterquest https://store.steampowered.com/app/1144030/Pesterquest/

NoctalIvan: Please only take if you gonna play

NoctalIvan: 87J9A-5YLDZ-ELTPK

NoctalIvan: Enjoy ;)

jacek: :thinking:

BlaiseEbuth: oo

jacek: so cheesy, field

jacek: and finally a replay with en passant!

Scarfield: im happy to be of service :p

Default avatar.png vic19: hello

Default avatar.png vic19: world

Default avatar.png JohnMaclaine: hahah

CodingBroke: Trying to game on a low spec PC is mad :rage:

BlaiseEbuth: Right. Buy a better PC.

jacek: those miners

**MasterCoderxD hi lol

AntiSquid: NoctaulIvan ya doesn't look good, you get much better games for free, with key too

AntiSquid: metro2033 still free to claim for ever for the rest of the weekend so i am guessing that game was self-advertising

Default avatar.png yoyokid: Hi

eulerscheZahl: who would ever use this chat for self-advertising? also check out my current project https://www.codingame.com/ide/demo/875803b885205380cd623ba3bc4504553a26fa

MSmits: are you combining your two favorite addicitons ?

MSmits: addictions that is

eulerscheZahl: coding and gambling?

MSmits: was thinking alcohol and gamblng but sure :P

MSmits: make it 3

eulerscheZahl: btw saw your remarks about bender. you are totally overthinking it

MSmits: how so

eulerscheZahl: it was never supposed to be hard to get 100% :(

MSmits: i like that it's hard

eulerscheZahl: shall i spoiler it?

MSmits: fine with me, but do it in pm then

MSmits: just in case

jrke: my first codingame anniversary is on 18th march :heart_eyes: just discovered

eulerscheZahl: i always missed mine

eulerscheZahl: wait, really? you aren't around for longer than a year?

darkhorse64: Still not guru after one year ? Lazy guy ...

jrke: not lazy also have to study

jrke: nope not longer than year

jrke: check my profile first rank update is on 19th march in graph

darkhorse64: Just kidding

Default avatar.png yoyobro123: hi

Default avatar.png yoyobro123: ok

ZarthaxX: i never got guru either hehe :rofl:

Default avatar.png yoyokid: Hi Ok

jrke: i am like 6-7k CPs behind the guru tag at the moment

ZarthaxX: you are 13yo wtf

AntiSquid: huh ? what's the secret spoiler sauce for bender 4 ?

jrke: oh mistake now 14 yo lemme update

MSmits: it's not secret, euler just told me his approach to solving it, nothing crazy. Kind of how we talked about it the other day

eulerscheZahl: read darkhorse's post on the forum, gives a good summary

AntiSquid: so what do you expect ZarthaxX ? that he plays with barbies?

AntiSquid: no dirty shortcut ?

AntiSquid: to solving ?

MSmits: not really

MSmits: I am just overthinking my initial solution by looking too far ahead as usual

MSmits: but I like it that way

AntiSquid: which darkhorse post ? https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/community-puzzle-bender-episode-4/84756

eulerscheZahl: the one that was writting by k4ng0u :D

AntiSquid: oh he went into great detail

**darkhorse64 makes posts on puzzles he has not solved

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: where is that?

eulerscheZahl: 3rd from bottom

eulerscheZahl: https://forum.codingame.com/t/community-puzzle-bender-episode-4/84756/26?u=eulerschezahl

eulerscheZahl: afk, cat needs attention

AntiSquid: he's saying k4ng0u is your alt DarkCeltic

AntiSquid: darkhorse64

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: thanks

darkhorse64: I have no alt. It's forbidden

AntiSquid: so derjack is an illegitimate child?

darkhorse64: Not from me

MSmits: if derjack had an evil twin it might be called darkhorse

darkhorse64: I solved aCat Cooperative Mate with Rook chess puzzle. If only all puzzles were of this quality

MSmits: it is rook mate algorithm?

AntiSquid: what quality? describe taste

MSmits: rook + king vs king?

darkhorse64: cooperative root mate. Quality = nice graphics, known algorithm with a twist

MSmits: ah nice

darkhorse64: Both cooperate for the shortest mate

darkhorse64: I think he intend to have a non cooperative version to be solved with a minimax

darkhorse64: intends

MSmits: yay, i reunited bender and fry in the first testcase :P

MSmits: it's funny that the solution is in the name of the testcase. I meant I have a working bfs though :P Just for movement

darkhorse64: Your weekend project ?

MSmits: it's gonna be a bit longer probably

MSmits: have to start writing my thesis tomorrow

MSmits: i mean for studies, not writing a thesis on bender

darkhorse64: Time to try to steal your C4 lead now you are defenceless

ZarthaxX: thesis for comp sci ?

MSmits: kind of ZarthaxX. It's basically about improving my teaching material for 3 classes about optimization

MSmits: to teach my students greedy solutions and hill climbing

ZarthaxX: what?

ZarthaxX: thesis for a teaching career?

MSmits: well not sure if thesis is the right word?

MSmits: the class is educational design & research

ZarthaxX: you gotta design a "programme" for ypur class?

MSmits: i have to use literature and all that

MSmits: teaching material

MSmits: and lesson plans

ZarthaxX: that's what u call thesis?

MSmits: i dont know what its called

ZarthaxX: not thesis

MSmits: I am translating from my own language

ZarthaxX: i see

ZarthaxX: really cool tho

MSmits: yeah i just dont like writing stuff to tie literature together

MSmits: it's boring

ZarthaxX: hate literature

MSmits: well i like it when i am finding new algorithms in it to win at boardgames :p

ZarthaxX: did you? lol

MSmits: for D&B it worked ok

ZarthaxX: ah u meant papers

ZarthaxX: reading papers

MSmits: yeah thats called literature here

ZarthaxX: yeah sure

MSmits: I have to read papers for this thing

ZarthaxX: oh noes

MSmits: and reference them

ZarthaxX: looks like a thesis now lol

MSmits: thats what i meant, it kinda is

MSmits: but it's centered on designing classes and teaching material

MSmits: thats also a science

MSmits: didactic science?

MSmits: not sure what its called in English

eulerscheZahl: we got the idea

MSmits: this is stuff i learned on CG btw

MSmits: greedy solutions and hill climbing

AntiSquid: essay probably

MSmits: maybe thats a better word yea

ZarthaxX: smito is the CG student

MSmits: its 6000 words max

MSmits: I use the TSP as a context, but my improvement is to add more contexts and a clearer step-by-step plan to applying greedy solutions and hill climbing

eulerscheZahl: smits climbing the hill to bring back the 10 golden rules for his students

MSmits: yea :)

MSmits: as empirical evidence i did a short test with my students where i also tried to get them to figure out the backpack problem and such

MSmits: without ever having explained it

MSmits: to see if they could find a greedy solution

AntiSquid: oh my sounds like an actual paper though :P

MSmits: most couldn't, which is why i think i need more contexts

eulerscheZahl: backpack? you mean knapsack?

MSmits: right yeah, sorry its rugzak here = backpack

MSmits: i meant knapsack

eulerscheZahl: Rucksack here

MSmits: similar

AntiSquid: bindle algorithm /s

MSmits: i figured that if they see greedy solutions applied in more than 1 context (besides the TSP), it would make sense to them in a completely new context also

AntiSquid: no? Automaton2000 i failed again :(

Automaton2000: you can have a look

MSmits: also darkhorse64 dont you think you will be too busy defending your clobber to do c4 :)

eulerscheZahl: so many new games

MSmits: these are games you can write a bot for in less than a day

eulerscheZahl: but i don't want to :(

MSmits: i mean i did both of them in a few hours only, which means you can do it in less than an hour

eulerscheZahl: i'd rather like to add more content to your TODO list

MSmits: you're good at that :P

eulerscheZahl: but the dice rotation animation is still buggy

AntiSquid: idk kingdomino port isn't as fun on cg as in real life

eulerscheZahl: have you ever tried animating such a thing? it's a nightmare

MSmits: 3D rotations ? Yeah

MSmits: using quaternions?

eulerscheZahl: yes, but that part is outsourced to the library

MSmits: ah ok

eulerscheZahl: the problem: i want to know the absolute rotation values at each time

MSmits: one time i had a student working on a drone (this was as a physics teacher) and he came to me to ask me some questions. I figured it'd be easy to help him

eulerscheZahl: the library wants deltas

MSmits: and then his first question was about quaternions :P

MSmits: ah i see

kovi: tryandcatch is on fire. msmits you should try somehing which is not mcts

kovi: (and fireworks is on catch)

MSmits: looks like a great game kovi, tryangle catch i think yo mean

MSmits: but i am working on a different euler masterpiece atm

eulerscheZahl: i like bad puns

kovi: i failed with that combo

MSmits: nah it was fine, i am just bad at recognizing these puns

kovi: fireworks is catching up - would have been better

MSmits: I'm not that great at graph stuff also. Unless it's the simple tree kind we use in mcts and bfs and such

MSmits: tryangle catch is really an advanced graph game

MSmits: with adding and removing branches

struct: euler do you know if I add text input on https://i.imgur.com/H4Ere6s.png if it will be saved?

MSmits: more importantly, does it become illegal when you turn legal off?

eulerscheZahl: hm, no idea

struct: ok, I was thinking on adding text input so you could choose board color

eulerscheZahl: my player colors (list of multiple options) gets saved

eulerscheZahl: not sure if part of the toggle module or stored somewhere else

struct: https://github.com/CodinGame/codingame-game-engine/blob/master/engine/modules/toggle/src/main/resources/view/toggle-module/ToggleModule.js

struct: From what I read I cant really find where they add it

jacek: cargo cult programming eh

eulerscheZahl: must be stored somewhere. feed it into a toggle state without using that specific toggle?

Scarfield: nice die euler, but its not a true die, opposites must sim to 7

PatrickMcGinnisII: sim sum dim sum or I die

jacek: diefield 7

jacek: stupid stockfish doesnt support gensfen for chess960

MSmits: 'whats a gensfen?

jacek: plays semirandom games and generates positions and labels them for certain depth

MSmits: mmh ok

MSmits: why do you want that

jacek: i train my nn. but instead of using my crappy chess engine, why not use the best engine's evaluations?

MSmits: i gues that would help

jacek: quick & dirty tests from learning on such 10m positions gives ~55% winrate on standard position

jacek: against my best model

MSmits: I see

jacek: and ~30% on chess960 overall

MSmits: i am just trying not to get my bender magnetocuted

Scarfield: how many inputs for your chess nn jaNNek?

jacek: 2432

MSmits: whoa

Scarfield: 38 inputs per cell? why that many?

jacek: 64x38

jacek: empty, 12 pieces, and wether pawn is attacked and/or protected by other pawn

jacek: x2 for side to move

darkhorse64: A sort of simplified NNUE

Scarfield: ah makes sense

jacek: only few squares are changed

jacek: was thinking about adding passed pawn, bad bishop etc. though there would be slow down due to more squares being changed each move

darkhorse64: updating is only partial and therefore faster

Scarfield: ƎUИИ

jacek: dleifracs

jacek: and sf folks tell me they dont care about training chess960

MSmits: sf?

jacek: stockfish

MSmits: oh right

MSmits: you know sf folks?

jacek: asked on their discord

MSmits: ah ok

MSmits: they should care about chess960

MSmits: why not broaden your horizons

MSmits: chess960 is kind of a better game than chess :P

jacek: welp https://i.imgur.com/54qY4B1.png

darkhorse64: You have no problems playing chess960 if you know how to play chess but you really have to think from move 1 instead of bashing 10 moves in 5 minutes

MSmits: he liked your avatar though, thats something

jacek: actually i wonder if training on chess960 would make the net more aware of chess than fixed opening

jacek: and quick learning on 30m positions gives 60% winrate on standard opening :tada:

darkhorse64: 30m positions ?

jacek: 30 millions

Enknable: if the moves are within chess's solution space then it wouldn't be any different? But you'd be training some moves that could never happen.

jacek: well exactly. human can generalize more and deal with impossible what if scenarios

jacek: i think this was somewhat an idea behind double q-learning

jacek: deal with environment but sometimes use randomly reward from stored experience

jacek: either i really change sf code or train on standard opening then later retrain on all openings

AntiSquid: John Connor always wins

MSmits: are you doing a terminator marathon or what?

AntiSquid: no

AntiSquid: didn't really like the movies, except maybe part 4, was ok at best

MSmits: ah ok

AntiSquid: my favourite part in all terminator movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8RMUSmIGCI

MSmits: thats evil

MSmits: :P

ANONYMOUS42: what a time to be alive

MSmits: yeah 22:26

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: what is a good opening move in connect 4? My mcts seems to like 3.

jacek: https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/59458ca85b08f914f150d1ccf0350fe7b233

jacek: someone's meta would agree with you

MSmits: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/e30500fd-fdd7-412e-8ed0-9e3efd4b32d2

MSmits: this makes it a very bad opening move, because your opponent can steal it UnnamedCodinGamer

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: thanks

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: yes

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: I am testing locally

jacek: lets make connect960 with random openings

MSmits: sounds like you're on the right track

MSmits: fine with me :)

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: from time to time it likes also 5

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: but they are symmetrical I guess

MSmits: yes

MSmits: identical

MSmits: thats why my meta mcts doesn't even search that

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: I see

MSmits: on every expansion my meta mcts applies every transformation in a game (rotation mirror etc.) and if anyone of the results have been encountered before, it skips that child

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: nice

MSmits: connect4 only has the one vertical axis

MSmits: but yavalath has 12

MSmits: 12 transformations that is

MSmits: nine mens morris has way more even

jacek: huh

MSmits: I think it's 48

jacek: its just square

MSmits: nope

MSmits: it has 3 concentric squares

MSmits: you can put them in any order

MSmits: and the game is the same

MSmits: which adds another 6 times as many transformations

MSmits: 6*8 = 48

jacek: i dont believe you

MSmits: thats a healthy attitude, go check it out :P

MadKnight: u guys all did bulls & cows ?

MadKnight: #2

darkhorse64: I did it

creeperZnation4: What's bulls & cows?

AntiSquid: an animal farm

creeperZnation4: ...

creeperZnation4: How do you "do" an animal farm XD

MSmits: not sure i want to know

creeperZnation4: :laughing:

darkhorse64: Clobber lb is completely random, same code #4, #5, #1

MSmits: well it's random because bots are nearly the same strength

darkhorse64: ^

darkhorse64: I got very lucky on this one 73% winrate

MSmits: ncie

MSmits: got very unlucky on my typing

darkhorse64: I have the same skills

MSmits: yea

MSmits: i think i may finally have solved bender 4

MSmits: testcases still running... so many

MSmits: euler really went all out on this one

MSmits: 30 testcases i think

MSmits: all succeeded, lets hope my submit does as well

MSmits: yay :)

darkhorse64: 50 more XP ?

MSmits: does it give xp? It's an optim

MSmits: rank 37 now, just from basic 100%

darkhorse64: no XP then, CP

MSmits: out of 878 on the leaderboard

MSmits: so few get 100%

MSmits: I gather multiple solutions per try, so i should do a check to find the shortest

MSmits: meh 5270 -> 5202 not very helpful :)

MSmits: tied with 36th now :)

MSmits: well thats it for now. I finished my weekend project, gn :)

darkhorse64: gn

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: gn

Default avatar.png NeumanAlkhalil: GN

Default avatar.png lexicons: oh nice a chat
