BoomFlight: hello

DCoderOP: hello world

DCoderOP: #clash

Default avatar.png Pr0gramist: NaN

AETAET: Does private clash affect the score/rank?


BlaiseEbuth: Don't think so.

AETAET: Thx:grin:

Stormalix: would be awesome if it did tho amiright

Mr.Pepper: :rofl:

DCoderOP: #clash

ANJACE_Z: Mr.Pepper r u feeling well?

Mr.Pepper: yeah

ANJACE_Z: nyc

DCoderOP: join

Default avatar.png Armia_Evil: hi

BoomFlight: hi

BlaiseEbuth: DCoderOP: The idea behind the #clash channel is to avoid clash links spam here. So spamming the channel link instead is not really the intended use.

derjack: #:soccer:

BlaiseEbuth: What's the point with soccer? :/

derjack: nothing

BoomFlight: picture football mean to kick out,isn't it ? [I'm feeling so sad]

DCoderOP: sorry

Wontonimo: and welcome. There is more to codingame than just ClashOfCode. Make sure you check out the challenges (called Practice) and the Bot Battles

Default avatar.png KingWang: ok

Default avatar.png KingWang: thanks

Wontonimo: There is this challenge that I found really fun when I first joined https://www.codingame.com/training/easy/mars-lander-episode-1 which has several more episides

Wontonimo: and lots of people have enjoyed this bot battle game https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming/coders-strike-back

Alex-1: hii Wontonimo

maxpoko: :(

BlaiseEbuth: :sun_with_face:

Uljahn: practicing bot battles is useful if you're going to participate in upcoming contest for the first time

BlaiseEbuth: Subtil joke :3

derjack: there used to be clash contests. what happened to them ~

cegprakash: sum of even numbers till N

cegprakash: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/4bedb202-ae60-4769-8a18-98a93c8ecd82

cegprakash: what's wrong with my code

Uljahn: clash wars are paused atm https://forum.codingame.com/t/clash-wars-mini-clash-of-code-tournament/145336/29

cegprakash: what do u mean paused I was just playing

Astrobytes: I suppose not reading applies to the chat as well as statements ceg? :P

Uljahn: indeed

cegprakash: I don't understand

cegprakash: just help me with the bug in my code

cegprakash: :P

cegprakash: I used sum of AP formula

cegprakash: n/2(A+L)

cegprakash: but it doesn't seem to work for odd numbers

cegprakash: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/4bedb202-ae60-4769-8a18-98a93c8ecd82


cegprakash: this is code for sum of even numbers till N

cegprakash: I got 62% in this clash

cegprakash: oh shit

cegprakash: I'm doing N-- before reading N

cegprakash: wtf

cegprakash: :(

cegprakash: RIP

Default avatar.png Hamza_Abdelal: hellooo

Astrobytes: slow clap for ceg

Uljahn: :duck:

Default avatar.png Hamza_Abdelal: c.......l..........a.........p

FailedWizard: shiii

cegprakash: is it possible to resubmit in a clash for practice purposes?

Astrobytes: Not as such, you can look the clash up via euler's tool then view the contribution

Astrobytes: https://eulerschezahl.herokuapp.com/codingame/puzzles/

cegprakash: ty

cegprakash: found it

Astrobytes: nice one

cegprakash: I don't know how many 1000s of bugs I make in upcoming contest

cegprakash: :D

cegprakash: I'm making bugs in sum of even numbers

cegprakash: :D

Astrobytes: Probably directly proportional to the length of the statement :P

**Alex-1 python

cegprakash: euler has written a search engine

cegprakash: what a legend

cegprakash: not sure what database he uses and queries

cegprakash: it performs as good as elastic search

Astrobytes: iirc heroku uses postgres

Astrobytes: I could be wrong

cegprakash: I don't know how postgres can do such a search

Astrobytes: It's just a database...

cegprakash: but how is it fast

cegprakash: postgres is not good for text search

cegprakash: especially in searching problem statements

Astrobytes: euler will give you details if you ask him

cegprakash: mm

Astrobytes: if you ask him *nicely* that is

struct: hi

Astrobytes: hey struct

struct: new escape was released

Astrobytes: ah yeah, saw that on discord

Astrobytes: we should arrange a time to do it next week if everyone can make it

cegprakash: MadKnight I see u online

cegprakash: u still angry at me?

struct: 2-6 players

struct: Another easy one though

Astrobytes: ah :/

Astrobytes: what did you do to mk ceg?

cegprakash: he was spamming in my discord

cegprakash: so I told nicely not to spam

cegprakash: Astrobytes

Astrobytes: And he stopped talking to you after that?

derjack: oO

cegprakash: https://prnt.sc/11ili3q

cegprakash: I had him muted on discord

cegprakash: this was our last conversation

Astrobytes: Looks like standard mk conversation material these days lol

struct: white theme discord :scream:

Default avatar.png Kokahina: .-.

solution.cpp: my eyes

Astrobytes: yeah... wtf is that

solution.cpp: they burn

Astrobytes: iirc ceg uses white theme on here too

cegprakash: nah in CG I use dark theme

cegprakash: I didn't know discord has dark theme

cegprakash: searching for it now

Astrobytes: ah, must have been someone else, my bad

cegprakash: changed

Astrobytes: Isn't dark theme the default for discord?

cegprakash: no idea

BlaiseEbuth: There's a white theme on discord ?

struct: nice you dont need 3rd party programs to do the call now

struct: on escape

Astrobytes: Oh? It's built in now?

struct: https://i.imgur.com/hgzMcRE.jpeg

Astrobytes: Nice. Jitsi allows screenshare?

Astrobytes: afk 5 mins

struct: I think so, but cg doesnt have that option

struct: maybe it doesnt

BlaiseEbuth: Fix issues on CG? ... Na! Better develop a new site to play escape games. *A few months later* OK, do we fix issues on CG now? ... Na! Better develop a built in communication tool for the escape game site.

Astrobytes: :salt:

BlaiseEbuth: Still no salt emoji...

BlaiseEbuth: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Astrobytes: yeah, that really annoys me. Probably a bit more than it should.

BlaiseEbuth: 🧂

struct: I just hoped that cg could get more sponsors on contents tbh

struct: The number of sponsors on gocoder is quite high

Astrobytes: Yeah.

Astrobytes: It would help. A lot.

Astrobytes: But hey ho. We have clashes.

BlaiseEbuth: Clashs are sponsored by Carrefour:tm:

Astrobytes: :rofl:

BlaiseEbuth: What's so fun

Astrobytes: Carrefour Clashes

BlaiseEbuth: :thinking:

BlaiseEbuth: Oh. Also Amadeus and Facebook now

Astrobytes: I just find the concept amusing

BlaiseEbuth: I don't get the fun in this. But OK ^^'

Astrobytes: I have a peculiar sense of humour. Almost as bad as TBali

BlaiseEbuth: Wow ! Aneo puzzle gonna be removed.

BlaiseEbuth: Time to copy the statement and the tests to publish it back.

Astrobytes: No great loss there but sucks they won't even reply to CG

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: yes, they have removed better ones

Astrobytes: I never even got a chance to try the great dispatch

BlaiseEbuth: TGD! :( :cry:

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: It was great

MadKnight: a great dispatch

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: sadly no one did a similar community contribution

BlaiseEbuth: I (and others) thought about, but the time is a problem...

Astrobytes: what was the limit?

MadKnight: i can code it for u guys

MadKnight: just tell me what to do

struct: The time limit was greater than 30 sec?

MadKnight: turns

BlaiseEbuth: Was 1minute if I remember well.

struct: I dont remember how the game was

MadKnight: well u can check the contests list

MadKnight: past contests

Ambarsariya: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/1695429aee214b3b967cd5c651944b50fd58cbc

BlaiseEbuth: -> #clash Ambarsariya

struct: I dont think its listed on past contesnts

struct: It wasnt an "official" contest

BlaiseEbuth: It was

BlaiseEbuth: A sponso one

BlaiseEbuth: It was official, but not a contest. ;3

Astrobytes: Officially unofficial sponsored un-contest?

Alex-1: hi

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: hm

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: https://www.codingame.com/ide/puzzle/the-great-dispatch-disabled

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: do these open?

BlaiseEbuth: Ya nice

Astrobytes: heh heh, yes, yes they do

BlaiseEbuth: :scream: I can see my code! :cry:

BlaiseEbuth: Testing a submit

BlaiseEbuth: Works :expressionless:

BlaiseEbuth: How did you find that UnnamedCodinGamer ?

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: searched google for tgd and found this https://github.com/Coni63/CG_repo/blob/master/README.md

BlaiseEbuth: Oo

BlaiseEbuth: Bookmarked

BlaiseEbuth: Ok. You seems to be good to find things. You've found the contest, now find back my points.

BlaiseEbuth: *Please

Astrobytes: hah

BlaiseEbuth: *a

Astrobytes: No, it was a hah

BlaiseEbuth: Ha...

Astrobytes: Do I really have to explain the subtle differences between my haha, ha and hah?

Astrobytes: :P

Default avatar.png SotaUN: Hey!

BlaiseEbuth: I get the ha and the haha. But the hah is over my comprehension

derjack: huh?

Astrobytes: The hah has a little breath at the end, like the end of a laugh or small cough

struct: ha

BlaiseEbuth: So what difference with haha ?

Astrobytes: haha is laughing

derjack: heh

Astrobytes: hah is a little more contemptuous

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: well said

BlaiseEbuth: You despise me? :(

Astrobytes: haha no

Astrobytes: Contemptuous in tone

Astrobytes: Sneering perhaps

BlaiseEbuth: You know that I have to google translate one words in each of your sentences...

BlaiseEbuth: Anyway. Gonna establish newspeak for interjections...

struct: hmm, cg looking for testers for next contest

BlaiseEbuth: Paid?

Astrobytes: newspeak for interjections :o

BlaiseEbuth: To avoid interpretation problems

Astrobytes: Hm. I like the interpretation problems. Learning opportunities :P

struct: Im wondering if I should apply to it or not

Astrobytes: Testers eh

derjack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhsPHV-40Nw

Astrobytes: Well, you're gonna submit on the last day so

BlaiseEbuth: You should, you not gonna submit your bot during the contest anyway Struct.

struct: Well I did said top 100 or delete

struct: This increases my chances

struct: :p

Astrobytes: derjack: that and shut up wesley

BlaiseEbuth: Enough of volunteering for me.

Astrobytes: Paid positions only for you from now on eh

struct: What if this the contest I would be able to get a tshirt

struct: Its a hard call

BlaiseEbuth: I'm already the chat saucier for free...

Astrobytes: "chat saucier" :D

BlaiseEbuth: :salt:

struct: Do you know if there will me any more prizes?

Astrobytes: What, like Most Glorious Tester gets a Chocolate Medal or something? :P

struct: no I mean from the contest

struct: Testers cant win prizes

struct: Current prizes are tshirt for top 20

struct: and canvas for top 3

RoboStac: I think testers have been given tshirts in the past

struct: Anyways what am I thinking, is not like I can fight for the prizes :p

Astrobytes: Ah, no unless it's sponsored I don't think they do 'prizes' as such any more

Astrobytes: And yeah, I think robo is right. Ping Thibaud a message to confirm I guess

BlaiseEbuth: Absolutely not related, but that's impressive :o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kszp92GDTnA&t=45s

Astrobytes: holy subtle facial expressions Batman

BlaiseEbuth: Batman ?

BlaiseEbuth: Na na na na Batman!

Astrobytes: ffs, were you born under a rock or something? :D

struct: It lags on the smile

struct: not realistic enough

struct: 1/10

Astrobytes: it jumps a bit yeah

Astrobytes: Bin it.

BlaiseEbuth: In fact no, but I live under rocks since a long time... Have'nt you read the Bible?

Astrobytes: haha

BlaiseEbuth: So. Slap me with your large pop culture.

Astrobytes: lol, you do cheer me up on boring days Blaise

BlaiseEbuth: :flushed:

BlaiseEbuth: "holy subtle facial expressions Batman" I'm still interested by the explanation.

Astrobytes: holy <appropriate expression> Batman was a catchphrase of his sidekick, Robin

Astrobytes: And has formed the basis of many a joke since.

BlaiseEbuth: How am I supposed to know that? Remember english is not my native language. :expressionless:

Astrobytes: I thought that since superhero movies are so terrible that somehow you were involved in them

Astrobytes: Only some nefarious hellbeast would continue to inflict these things upon humanity

Default avatar.png AgentM12: Is this chat codingame or is it linked to a discord channel? :thinking:

Astrobytes: It's codingame XMPP. Discord is separate.

Default avatar.png AgentM12: Ah cool!

Default avatar.png AgentM12: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Default avatar.png **AgentM12 slaps AgentM12 around a bit with a large fishbot

Default avatar.png AgentM12: I see there's not many people online, is that usual?

Astrobytes: There are actually quite a few, they're just not talking ;)

Default avatar.png AgentM12: Apart from the mods ;)

Default avatar.png AgentM12: Might have to poke my friend harder to come online to start a clash

BlaiseEbuth: Of course I'm involved in them (In Hollywood in general in fact). But that does'nt mean I watch them...

Astrobytes: :imp:

Default avatar.png hanmailco34: Process has timed out. This may mean that your solution is not optimized enough to handle some cases.

BlaiseEbuth: Python ?

Default avatar.png hanmailco34: javascript

BlaiseEbuth: Same fight.

BlaiseEbuth: Pick a faster language, or optimize your code.

Default avatar.png UnnamedCodinGamer: or find a bug for instance while loop not breaking

AgentM12: How do I start a private clash it doesn't show my friend?

Astrobytes: send him the link?

BlaiseEbuth: People never have bugs in their code here. Bugs in the puzzle a the most...

Default avatar.png Erijones7981: Whats upp guysss

Astrobytes: Indeed.

AgentM12: Well she sees that we are both in the clash, but on the host's side it doesn't show. And when she hosted it, it was the opposite.

Astrobytes: BuginGame

JordyH: My code clashes won't start anymore. I don't get into the IDE. Am I the only one having those problems?

Astrobytes: Hm, I don't clash AgentM12 but seems like a temporary issue

AgentM12: I can also not send friend requests for some reaon?

BlaiseEbuth: Who needs friends ?

Default avatar.png Erijones7981: Me lmaoo

AgentM12: Someone who just wants to clash the hell out of someone else

BlaiseEbuth: You don't need friends for that.

AgentM12: They're following me now, but how can I follow them back.

Astrobytes: afk for a bit

BlaiseEbuth: To follow someone who already follow you, the only way seems to be going in circle...

JordyH: I keep getting "Clash Error 504". Anyone got a solution fpo me?

JordyH: *for

Default avatar.png Halberd: Nope.

Default avatar.png Halberd: broken

AgentM12: The UI is rather incomplete ;(

AgentM12: and I can't join private clashes

BlaiseEbuth: Only for clashes. Not so bad

AgentM12: And I keep getting Coc<random int> channel dms on this

BlaiseEbuth: That's broken

MrAryavart: okay

[CG]Thibaud: should be better for Clash of Code. Are you still having issues ?

BlaiseEbuth: Have to reload the page to reach the IDE at the end of the countdown. But no more 504

Panagis: Warning: your code did not read all available input before printing an instruction, your outputs will not be synchronized with the game's turns and unexpected behaviour may occur.

Astrobytes: Well, this was not the most exciting chat history to read after a small break.

derjack: eeyup

Default avatar.png Tibu_9405: hi

Panagis: can i create multiple files?

therealbeef: you can, but need some tooling

Astrobytes: Sure. But you need to combine them into one for CG submits

Astrobytes: hey therealbeef

therealbeef: hi

Smelty: ....scammers have been getting smarter

Smelty: one just tried to blackmail me

struct: its a common tactic

Smelty: yep

Smelty: hmm..what if i create a scambait account

Astrobytes: scammers on where?

Smelty: email

Smelty: o . o

Smelty: also, have clashes been fixed

Astrobytes: Just bin those dodgy emails. Yeah I think so. Might need to clear your cache

Smelty: ah okay

Smelty: hi

Mr.Pepper: o/

ShannonNorris97: When your approach of picking a random valid move worked better than your minimax solution on checkers... something not quite right there :joy:

jacek: checkers eh

ShannonNorris97: Yeah, thought I'd give a smaller bot game a go today

jacek: simple material eval should get you to top50

Astrobytes: And welcome to CG board game addiction :smiling_imp:

ShannonNorris97: Yeah I'll have made a mistake somewhere, just gotta find it. Probably when I was trying to establish the multiple jumps in one turn fiasco

ShannonNorris97: My scoring system is also incredibly basic at the moment so I need to find what works

jacek: yhm

Default avatar.png wsb1994: this is p fun lol

Default avatar.png wsb1994: where was this when I was studying for FAANG lmao

jacek: FAANG?

struct: facebook apple amazon netflix google

struct: jacek what are you working on atm?

jacek: last thing i submited was checkers

jacek: trying to improve search tree

struct: How long ago was that?

jacek: Today at 21:08

jacek: why you ask

struct: just wondering

jacek: oO

ShannonNorris97: Do you guys have any recommendations for getting better at the bot programming games? Just generally? If I wanted to get really good at them, is there anything you'd recommend spending time to learn? At the moment I'm taking a bit of a scattershot approach

jacek: firstly get your minimax fixed

ShannonNorris97: Yeah, for sure. That algorithm seems super common for these games, so I'm wanting to get a better understanding of it for definite

struct: Implement it on a simple game

struct: tic tac toe is perfect for it

ShannonNorris97: Ah nice I'll do that, I did tic tac toe to learn it, but I think I followed a tutorial, so I'll try to do it by myself this time

Astrobytes: Yeah, and honestly, once you have it down switch to the negamax variant - it's cleaner and easier to work with.

Astrobytes: (re the minimax algo)

Astrobytes: alpha beta pruning too btw.

ShannonNorris97: Oh wow I never thought about it having different variants. Makes sense as to how people manage to climb the leaderboards on minimax games now, rather than all staying the same

Astrobytes: alpha beta pruning too btw - BEFORE switching to negamax

Astrobytes: Get it down

ShannonNorris97: Ah sweet, thanks so much for your help guys. I'm gonna learn those :)

Astrobytes: For minimax and alphabeta pruning there are a bunch of good videos on youtube, and some nice realtime visualisation tools on the web too. I always recommend working through a small basic game tree by hand though (paper/whiteboard)

struct: not sure if it works
