ProCoder03: Can we host private contests here in CG ??
JustinZhang: I want to buy health
ProCoder03: You have to search for which Item will heal...
JustinZhang: oh
JustinZhang: nice thanks
JustinZhang: I know it but could you give me the name plz

ProCoder03: I never know there was a sep chat for spamming lol
Uljahn: channels are autocreated when you join them
ProCoder03: I never know abt it... :sweat_smile:
MeBen: Can I join channels without typing their name in chat? Also, completely unrelated ... #ruby
Uljahn: yes, use /join channel_name
Uljahn: it's in the chat help (question mark right behind the chat input field)
Uljahn: or type /help
MeBen: Ah thanks :)
MeBen: Wish I could do /leave Coc*

MSmits: hi
raizbro: bear wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
littlebear: you have been warned
Astrobytes: he was warned and kicked
MSmits: hi Astrobytes
Astrobytes: hey MSmits
MSmits: are you working on anything for CG?
MSmits: Or just keeping the channel clean?
Astrobytes: Not at the moment, killing time before my 2nd covid jab (eventually)
MSmits: ahh ok
MSmits: why did it take so long for you to get it?
MSmits: I was pretty late myself and it was almost 2 months ago
Astrobytes: Had to push the date back due to having covid
MSmits: oh right thats it
MSmits: you sample all viruses first, before getting the vaccins
Astrobytes: Naturally! :D
Astrobytes: lol
MSmits: well it's professional interest I'm sure
Astrobytes: Nah. I'm just extremely unlucky. It's a well known feature about me :P
MSmits: yep
MSmits: I did run length encoding with students today
Astrobytes: Cool, how did they find it?
MSmits: they had to draw pictures from encodings
Astrobytes: Nice
MSmits: and then they had to invent their own picture and turn it into encoding
MSmits: saw a lot of different male members today
Astrobytes: hahahaha
Astrobytes: Teens will be teens
MSmits: indeed
MSmits: but in this case it's mostly my colleague's fault
Astrobytes: lol why?
MSmits: he will make a point of walking into my classroom at the right moment and whisper some stuff at them
Astrobytes: Hah! My kind of colleague
MSmits: hehe yea it's oik
MSmits: he also rickrolls them
MSmits: he uploaded several files of the same sound but varying sample rate
MSmits: but they were all rickrolls
Astrobytes: superb
MSmits: then when it's testing time he makes a link "answers to the test here"...
Astrobytes: That's great. Wish my teachers had been master trolls like that
MSmits: hehe yeah it's kind of funny
MSmits: I have a sense of humor, but I don't naturally troll students
MSmits: I can enjoy it when he does though
Astrobytes: You should. Just a little.
Astrobytes: Like once a week or something
MSmits: I'll think about it :)
MSmits: hey, I am confused about something with covid
Astrobytes: Gives you enough time to come up with something good
MSmits: maybe you have thoughts
Astrobytes: Go on
MSmits: how come in the US they have 30k young children hospitalized with covid and here in my country there are no restrictions at all in priomary schools and they do ok
Astrobytes: Bigger population for starters
MSmits: well sure, but 30k is a LOT still
BlaiseEbuth: Bigger people
Astrobytes: What's the geographical distribution of the 30K?
MSmits: it's of course going to be mostly in states with lower vaccination rates
MSmits: but still, we've been told it's mostly harmless for children
Astrobytes: Yes. They also have generally few if any restrictions, so who knows which variant they have.
MSmits: hmm so you're thinking it's not the same delta variant over there?
Astrobytes: I think it's just as harmful, but kids are a bit more resilient. Plus these kind of viruses will sweep through certain demographics of the population every wave
MSmits: I see
Astrobytes: I'm not up to date on the current variants, there are quite a few floating around
MSmits: I'm a bit worried we're going to see massive waves going through primary schools here at some point
Astrobytes: It's happening here
MSmits: oh?
Astrobytes: No one appears to care though
MSmits: hmm ok
MSmits: physically weaker kids go to different kinds of schools here where they are more careful
MSmits: In the US the person with Down syndrom goes to the same school
MSmits: this does not help
Astrobytes: Yeah, we've got a huge school for kids with special requirements and whatnot here, serves the whole area. They're very careful too.
MSmits: anyways, that was my question, train is arriving, ttyl :)
Astrobytes: Definitely agree with you.
Astrobytes: Later man
MiyamuraIzumi: well, we could just see, covid as a new normal soon
MiyamuraIzumi: so people all around the world will accustom to it
MiyamuraIzumi: we might need to vaccinate yearly
Astrobytes: Yeah it will be like that, it'll take some time to settle down though. So much of the world is still dealing with huge numbers of cases
Astrobytes: Yes, most probably.
ProCoder03: Wait in your country primary students started doing to school daily ??
Astrobytes: Yeah
TimothyAlexisVass: Updated this now:
https://www.codingame.com/contribute/view/7308d63b764bf1979ade0e862fcb636fa0f4
ProCoder03: Wow!! Ours is the one that's lagging behind :disappointed:
Astrobytes: That and our prime minister is a shockingly bad excuse for a human being.
ProCoder03: We are still having alternative days school and that too only for 13+
ProCoder03: lol
MiyamuraIzumi: covid is still in high, I don't think we should let children go to school for now
Astrobytes: It's a tough balance between ruining kids education and hospitalising them with a potentially deadly virus I guess
ProCoder03: yeah..
MiyamuraIzumi: :white_check_mark
MiyamuraIzumi: :white_check_mark:
TimothyAlexisVass: Is there some trick to sum the digits in a number?
Astrobytes: Use / and %
TimothyAlexisVass: Hmm? :\
TimothyAlexisVass: Let's say I have N=137541
1+3+7+5+4+1 = 21
TimothyAlexisVass: In Ruby you can split it and use inject.
TimothyAlexisVass: In Javascript you can split it and use reduce
Husoski: If you keep summing, though, repeating the digit sum until you get a single digit sum, then you get either 0 or (n-1)%9 +1.
raizbro: shtrj
TimothyAlexisVass: JS:
s=N.split``.reduce((a,b)=>a+b)
I was thinking if there was a trick to do it shorter.
Astrobytes: bye bye raizbro
TimothyAlexisVass: Hmm that won't be correct though.
TimothyAlexisVass: s=N.split``.reduce((a,b)=>+a+~~b)
TimothyAlexisVass: Otherwise it will do string concatenation of the numbers...
gugrbywitkr: timothyalexisvass there's trick
gugrbywitkr: eval([...s].join`+`)
gugrbywitkr: if you are working on number you have to make it str firsst
gugrbywitkr: so its eval([...+n].join`+`)
gugrbywitkr: eval is evaluating str as javascript would
gugrbywitkr: so eval('1+2') is 3
gugrbywitkr: so you do [...+152].join`+` and you get '1+5+2'
TimothyAlexisVass: gugrbywitkr! Thanks, that was clever
eval([...s].join`+`)
gugrbywitkr: we can private clash and exchange js tricks
TimothyAlexisVass: OK

Nektar24: guys i love programming , but i hate sitting down on a chair , as a result i haven't programmed all summer , what do i do ? :disappointed:
Nektar24: my back and my butt hurt from all the quaranteen sitting down
Wontonimo: stand
Wontonimo: kneel
Nektar24: i can kneel for maybe 10 minutes but then what :grin:
Nektar24: maybe i'm sitting down wrong
dreadylein: get a decent char and try to sit properly ;) aside of that, standing is actually not a joke if you got problems with your back
Wontonimo: my most productive programming is 15-25 min sitting, stand up, pace around while thinking of next steps, sit down and repeat
dreadylein: just make sure to increase the height of the monitor and keyboard accordingly
Wontonimo: i've been asked how I get so much done at work when I seem to be walking around so much. it works for me
Nektar24: i see alright
Nektar24: thanks !
Wontonimo: that kind of routine can also really help you keep your changes in manageably small chunks that are self contained
Wontonimo: when sitting down it's all about focus in the small self-contained change that can be completed in 15-25 min. When standing up it's all about planning the next change and thinking higher level
NotGoodatall: hi guys um what is the best programming language :neutral_face:
ProCoder03: every language is both superior and inferior to all other programming langauge
NotGoodatall: Ok ill use JavaScript i'm better with that one .
TimothyAlexisVass: ProCoder ...
ProCoder03: yes..
MeBen: He ain't wrong
NotGoodatall: MeBen what is your rank?
ProCoder03: hover hover his dp
MeBen: No idea, either 13 or 9276?
ProCoder03: the later is your rank
ProCoder03: first is your level
NotGoodatall: im 10,077
NotGoodatall: and im level 4
ProCoder03: it shows you are 38000s
ProCoder03: 38152 tbp
NotGoodatall: :zipper_mouth:
NotGoodatall: i'm not good at programming
MeBen: Practice makes perfect :)
NotGoodatall: yea
TimothyAlexisVass: How do I get 2 space separated integers into 2 variables with Ruby?
TimothyAlexisVass: in Python it's
a,b=map(int,input().split(' '))
MeBen: There's several ways, the most straight-forward would be `a, b = gets.split.map &:to_i`
TimothyAlexisVass: Is that the shortest?
TimothyAlexisVass: a,b=gets.split.map &:to_i
struct: I guess so
MeBen: It depends on how many inputs there are, and if they're on the same line, etc. You can also use the special $_ variable when gets is used, things like `gets;p $_.to_i+$_[~/ /].to_i`
TimothyAlexisVass: :S
TimothyAlexisVass: :open_mouth:
MeBen: Ruby had a lot of influence from Perl
struct: also if you want to read entire input you can use `dd`
MeBen: Yep, `dd` is a good trick, and also $<.map to map/iterate over lines of input
TimothyAlexisVass: So it's 1 line with 2 space separated integers
MeBen: Can also use eval, i.e. to sum all numbers in a line you can do `p eval(gets.tr ' ',?+)`
TimothyAlexisVass: Has anyone used Ruby in their profession?
TimothyAlexisVass: Let me rephrase taht
TimothyAlexisVass: Has anyone here (enjoyed) using Ruby in their profession? ;)
MeBen: A little bit now and then
TimothyAlexisVass: We use Redmine here
MeBen: A lot of Ruby is in Rails and I don't do web dev
ProCoder03: MeBen, Is there any good ruby course you would suggest
MeBen: There's _why's poignant guide, but that's more of a story than a guide
MeBen: Other than that I can't really remember, it's been too long

MeBen: @TimothyAlexisVass I like it
littlebear: -> #clash smallPPperson
MeBen: The problem statement needs work, it doesn't say anywhere what operations are allowed, that there's parentheses, etc.
MeBen: It sucks when you have to look at test cases because statements aren't exhaustive.
BlaiseEbuth: And a summary of the roman system would be good
MeBen: Is that not assumed to be common knowledge?
5922: Probably not to the extent required.
BlaiseEbuth: Furthermore, there's the Roman's roman system, and the medieval roman system. With some differences between
TimothyAlexisVass: I'll add some details. I think it's also nice to be able to copy the numbers from the Statement.
Wontonimo: Hey TimothyAlexisVass, have you solved this using c, c++, or rust? Is it reasonable to solve this in 15 min using one of those languages?
BlaiseEbuth: I don't see anything thar could be a problem in these languages
Wontonimo: I'm not c/c++/rust expert, but a huge part of your solution is using "eval" that does all the heavy lifting of parsing the order of operations and that doesn't exist in those languages
TimothyAlexisVass: Good point.
Wontonimo: "( I + II ) * IV / III"
without "eval" will require a lot more work in c/c++ compared to the published solution in python
TimothyAlexisVass: especially with the parenthesis.
Wontonimo: it's doable, it's just not clash sized for all languages
smallPPperson: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/19693907c3fda7476426bcfeb620f82bdf27fd1
Wontonimo: don't post clashes here. use #clash
smallPPperson: #clash
Wontonimo: yeah, and click on that link and post it tthere
Wontonimo: Validator 1 isn't similar to Test 1. Validator 1 requires 3 numbers to be processed where as test 1 is only 2 numbers
Wontonimo: same with test 2 / validator 2

Miki09: In cb silver league what is the max speed of pod? The pods thrust is from 0 to 100 but it moves about 500 pixels each turn.
Miki09: *csb
Illedan: What is the friction again?
Illedan: 0.2*500 => 100. So you can't drive faster
eulerscheZahl: BOOST
eulerscheZahl: isn't friction 0.15?
Miki09: But i take my previous position and my position now and the distance method returns about 500
BlaiseEbuth: Thrust is added to the speed vector, it's not the speed itself.
Miki09: So what's the max speed of pod?
BlaiseEbuth: On each turn the pods movements are computed this way: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/aea70005-9223-483b-b070-1ac595633f57
Miki09: ok thanks

Wontonimo: hey Miki09 , nice Coders Strikes Back silver bot. What's your next idea for improvement?
Wontonimo: Miki09, you are using shields when speeding to the next checkpoint. Shields also stop your pod dead in it's tracks, so not the best when speeding to a checkpoint
tealfrog: I got a guy in clash who made exactly same code in short. Looks unlucky to name even vars the same. Is there place to report it?Someone checking use of double account?

jacek: good evening
littlebear: evening
struct: hi jacek
struct: More NNs are showing up everyday :'(
Wontonimo: why is that sad?
struct: its sad for my bots
struct: They cant handle them
Wontonimo: are you getting on the NN wagon?
struct: yes
struct: eta 2025
PatrickMcGinnisII: :joy:
Wontonimo: about the time China and US and SpaceX are planning on having a person return to the moon
struct: Yeah ill have to write a NN to bring them back
Wontonimo: that sounds like a multi or solo. kinda like a reverse mars lander, but only allowed to use NN (not code)
Wontonimo: "The orbiter transport has crashed. You have to grow potatoes for 3 months (90 game frames) then drive to the launchpoint, lift off, and do an orbital docking"
struct: seems like kerbal
Wontonimo: "with the replacement transport"
Astrobytes: with a touch of The Martian
mr_ayush_kumawat: Hey there
struct: Does mcts work for 3+ player games?
Astrobytes: Yeah, but I think you have to incorporate things like paranoid, maxN, best-reply, all that kinda stuff depending on the game
Astrobytes: Never tried it myself
MiyamuraIzumi: mcts can also even work for 1 player game
Astrobytes: There are papers out there on it
Wontonimo: if you lose, it's very sad
MiyamuraIzumi: isn't that 1 player game always lead to a lose?
Wontonimo: for multi player that is just 1 winner and multiple losers, you could have a backprop that is +1 for the winner and -1/(players-1) for the losers. I bet that would be okay and result in about a zero score for near tie games
struct: yeah but tron is kinda a different story
struct: sometimes you are not even competing vs some players
MiyamuraIzumi: apart from doing bot programming, do you guy have any idea on what to do in freetime?
Astrobytes: Perhaps try the paranoid approach struct, maybe EPT with floodfill heuristic
struct: paranoid = closest right?
Astrobytes: Assume all players are out to get you
struct: yeah my bot does that
struct: for 1 ply
struct: ill try 1vs1 mcts to see how it does
Wontonimo: MiyamuraIzumi , I hear some people bath. That can take upwards of 14 minutes
struct: baths or showers?
Astrobytes: I like both tbh
Wontonimo: at the same time?
Astrobytes: baths in winter, showers in summer
struct: I do some sports too, but not everyone can
struct: I do cycling, swimming, running, football
Astrobytes: Actually, I have really long hair so I do use the shower in the bath when I'm washing it
MiyamuraIzumi: well do some execercise/sport seems good
Astrobytes: Do whatever you want :)
MiyamuraIzumi: :)
Wontonimo: write a program to generate ideas
MiyamuraIzumi: oh
Astrobytes: NN it. Consult it every morning on daily plans.
Wontonimo: and then write another to generate excuses
Astrobytes: hahaha
MiyamuraIzumi: :D :D
littlebear: lol
Wontonimo: from random import choice
print("Today I will " + choice(["make","assemble","design","find"]) + " a " + choice(["model car","girlfriend","tree fort","pet"]))
print("But I couldn't because I had to " + choice(["wax","clean","walk"]) + " my " + choice(["car","room","cat"]))
Astrobytes: lol
MiyamuraIzumi: :|
Wontonimo: Today I will make a girlfriend
But I couldn't because I had to wax my room
Krenar: Do coders make coding jokes cuz they funny or cuz it makes them feel superior to others? (Obviosly we are superior)
Astrobytes: For the humour.
Wontonimo: i do it because i like coding
Krenar: Perhaps
Krenar: I was ironic :)
Krenar: :P
littlebear: Today I will find a pet
But I couldn't because I had to walk my cat
Wontonimo: well struct, I still haven't been able to replicate your tron success. *sigh*
Wontonimo: there must be something else I'm missing
struct: hmm
Wontonimo: i may take a look at it this weekend. i should get back to work
Wontonimo: probably bugs
Wontonimo: :worm:
struct: Maybe
struct: its likely
Astrobytes: It was bugs with me, fixed em and got Legend
struct: Mybe I also have bugs
struct: im rewriting atm
Wontonimo: what was your algo Astro?
Astrobytes: paranoid minimax
Astrobytes: well alphabeta obvs
eulerscheZahl: minimax only vs closest opponent also works quite well (that's what I do)
eulerscheZahl: closest in terms of BFS dist, not manhattan dist
Astrobytes: Yeah, I was gonna experiment with a few approaches at some point
MiyamuraIzumi: OH
struct: minimax voronoi?
Wontonimo: and eval being floodfill area controlled - opponent area?
YurkovAS: That’s why I use the MCTS more and more frequently on Codingame: Ultimate Tic Tac Toe (2 players), Tron (4 players), Mars Lander (optimzation)
https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/xmash-rush-cc07-feedback-strategies/74346/38
Astrobytes: Yes and yes
jrke: while minimaxing with nearest opp do you switch opponent in between if it becomes more nearer than the first opponent?
Astrobytes: You would presumably check who is closest every turn yes
Astrobytes: Oh, during minimaxing... hm, no
eulerscheZahl: ^
MiyamuraIzumi: MCTS for MarLander YurkovAS?
Wontonimo: i can image that would work
Astrobytes: The reason you choose the closest is because they are the most immediate threat.
eulerscheZahl: minimax vs furthest only :thinking:
Astrobytes: lol
Astrobytes: You can use SP-MCTS for other optimisation problems too
eulerscheZahl: DerRadikaleRusse was experimenting with paranoid
and predicted that one opponent would commit suicide so the other can survive longer
jrke: my current tron bot leaves lot space like closing lot space which can't be visited
Astrobytes: No one says you have to fill all the space, as long as you win
eulerscheZahl: when you are cut off from the others, there's some nice graph theory to use
jrke: whats that theory?
Astrobytes: chambers and articulation points and stuff iirc
YurkovAS: MiyamuraIzumi 68place
but i'm was same with GA (online)
eulerscheZahl: Superstrukturgraph (no idea how to translate)
yes, related to articulation points
MiyamuraIzumi: :)
jacek: graph theory eh
Wontonimo: to get started in Tron, just turn if you are about to hit a wall
eulerscheZahl: the thing that struct hates
struct: i know very little about graphs
Astrobytes: I knew very little about graphs before CG
Astrobytes: Just some basic concepts
jacek: Superstrukturgraph? is this Supergraph?
Astrobytes: Yes iirc, we had to translate this once before when euler used the same word
Gvinfinity: https://www.codingame.com/clashofcode/clash/report/1969604cadee51b1b8dcc97f0b08872a451c87c
Gvinfinity: just wanted to share this one I'm proud of
jacek: good for you, but non-clash people cant see the question or solutions
Gvinfinity: oh, is there a way I can share that?
jacek: manual copy paste
Astrobytes: Or just be happy with "well done!"
sirsatan: i guess it was difficult
Astrobytes: Judging by the times and success rate yes, or the others were simply feeble
Wontonimo: or the clash was hard
Astrobytes: See post above mine ;)
Astrobytes: And well done anyway Gvinfinity
Wontonimo: hey Gvinfinity, there is more to CG than clash. Have you tried the puzzles or bot battles?
Wontonimo: oh, i see you have tried a bot battle :thumbsup:
Astrobytes: Work is boring today Wontonimo? :)
Wontonimo: it sure is Astro
jacek: isnt it always
Astrobytes: Here: :taco:
Wontonimo: you know me well
Wontonimo: thanks :D
jacek: i see robo overtook me in bt :F
jacek: i take holidays for 5 days and this is what happens
eulerscheZahl: holidays from CG?
eulerscheZahl: good thing you are back tomorrow to wish us a happy Caturday
jacek: somewhat. i didnt take bring my computer
jacek: my grammar is so advanced since then
Wontonimo: your saying texting is very good decent
omboyo: anyone here who has done ray tracing?
omboyo: ray casting*
Wontonimo: yes
struct: last time I heard about it someone wanted to solve space maze with it
Astrobytes: ahhh the ray-tracing NN
omboyo: how do you get the distance not from the ray to P, but from the frame to P?
omboyo: im trying to solve a simple ascii 3d engine
darkhorse64: you want the distance from the origin to the point touched by the ray ?
omboyo: thats what ive got now i think. but I get a fisheye effect. But its says to fix that you have to calculate from "the plane of the screen".https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/r/ray-casting-diagram.jpg. exsampel the screen in this photo
Astrobytes: So from the camera plane
Husoski: dot product with the direction vector (unit vector perpendicular to the screen)
darkhorse64: if you have a fisheye effect, it's likely that you are not using a perspective projection. You are doing something like direction = [angleX/resolutionX*i, angleY/resolutionY*j]
Wontonimo: ^^ that right. fisheye is cool, and uses angle
Wontonimo: instead put an imaginary grid of 600x400 (or whatever your resolution is) infront of the camera. iterate over each grid location and shoot a ray from the camera in the direction of the grid location
Wontonimo: if the grid is 2 meter across, and it is 1 meter infront of the camera, then you'll have a 90 degree field of view
omboyo: thanks guys i think i will get i now
omboyo: i coulnt find much information on this. how did you guys learn?
dreadylein: books ... iam old
darkhorse64: i wrote my own raytracer a long time ago http://xrt.wikidot.com
struct: parsing inputs for tron is a mess
struct: ...
A_W1534: there is a city in poland called kock
Husoski: There's a pudding in England called "spotted dick". So what?
Wontonimo: any new players here who need a hand?

andrefalt: i'm new
andrefalt: This game is fun
andrefalt: Ngl
Wontonimo: what are you working on?
JustinZhang: How can I identify the color in smash the code
JustinZhang: I just random number and it is stupid
ProCoder03: Good Morning guys!!
Husoski: Evening, here. Just got a fresh earthquake alert. 4.9 about 40 miles away. Not feeling anything so far.
zaraptwillbebeaten: scary
ProCoder03: :scream::frowning:
Husoski: It's been marked down to a 4.3 by USGS, so it's much smaller than the phone alert said. I didn't feel a thing. But if it's a pre-shock...
ProCoder03: which area ??
Husoski: LA south bay, near Long Beach
ProCoder03: I don't know abt LA...
Husoski: (CA, USA)
ProCoder03: but isn't LA close to san andreas fault
Husoski: San Andreas is father inland, but there's lots of fault lines throughout So Cal.
zaraptwillbebeaten: 👋
ProCoder03: ohhh.. CA seems to be a Earthquake prone area :worried:
littlebear: morning
ProCoder03: morning littlebear
littlebear: :)
ProCoder03: are you from AP ??
littlebear: me ?, no Kerala
ProCoder03: Oh..
Joe1014: What i can do...
Joe1014: For coders strike back
Joe1014: anyone help?
MiyamuraIzumi: Hello guys
MiyamuraIzumi: gitc
