aangairbender: what is default C param value for MCTS where scoring is -1, 0, 1
aangairbender: If I remember correctly, its 0.5 for scoring 0, 0.5, 1
aaron9753: need non bias opinion (if even possible) which is better for game development, c# or python. I'm currently learning c# but have courses for python
aangairbender: aaron9753 you can use c# in Unity, but not python
aaron9753: can't python be used basically as addons for unity?
aangairbender: idk, you can search for that, but for sure main scripting language is c#
aaron9753: ight, than you!
Uljahn: aangairbender: iirc it's sqrt(2)/2 for [-1, 0, 1] and sqrt(2) for [0, 0.5, 1]
aangairbender: ty
tobk: How, if at all, will this new contest be rated? It's first time to finish, not least time to complete, right? (Not that that's really important, just curious.)
Uljahn: first 5 to finish will get t-shirts i guess
Uljahn: first 5 teams
darkhorse64: No CP, no XP, no IA ...
Uljahn: yep, no achievements for the contest
darkhorse64: It's not really a contest, actually
Uljahn: a team-building event
tobk: Good. That takes a bit away the pressure for the over-achievers, which probably means more fun for the team.
tobk: Still a pity there's no "real" contest, but just sort of a big advertisement for the new game category, though...
wyenat: That also means anyone in Asia won't win, since it's start at midnight on a weekday
Uljahn: just take a day-off and break your sleeping schedule a bit
wyenat: Same for Americas I guess, as I don't think many people will bother player a thursday's morning
darkhorse64: You have 10 days to play it casually
Uljahn: but then there is no difference with existing escape rooms
TheBlueBias: You have 10 days too? :smirk:
Uljahn: 2 hours are more than enough

goobieboy: do people actually get job offers from this site?
hacker14789: i noob in cooding
martinpapa69: no, goobieboy
Uljahn: goobieboy: CG is used as a screening platform by hiring companies https://www.codingame.com/work/
Thorcode: Uljahn could you show me your 4th testcase in mars lander 2?
KyawMyotun: Fuck You
KyawMyotun: :unamused:\
Uljahn: watch your language or ban
Carnage2: you
ADC_PhamTrump: hi, i am beginner, and i wanna found a guy can teach me
Thorcode: hi
Thorcode: ADC_PhamTrump you can learn by solving problem here and if you stuck you could just ask on world chat for help
Carnage2: :pensive:
Thorcode: how long is the command ban effect ?
Carnage2: now
Thorcode: ?
Thorcode: idk I will continue to try to solve mars lander 2
Thorcode: is there any document hint for this puzzle?
Uljahn: External resources: PID controller, Dead reckoning etc.
Thorcode: how to control horizontal speed
Thorcode: I got 56
Thorcode: and can reduce it
Thorcode: can't
herh: adjusting thrust accordingly
Uljahn: tilt the lander in the opposite direction and use thrust
Thorcode: I hate the horizontal speed
Uljahn: you need some basic trigonometry i guess
Thorcode: yep
Thorcode: I don't even know what is trigonometry
Uljahn: then learn it or skip the puzzle
Thorcode: ok
Thorcode: I will skip that puzzle
Thorcode: thanks Uljahn
mrmnrd: trigonometry is part of math handling relationships between angles and measures in a triangle (cos, sin, tan...)
Thorcode: I know but I just in grade 8
Thorcode: so understand that is not easy
Thorcode: I have just seen some basic of it and my mind almost boom
mrmnrd: i do :) it's matter to learn, you'll see it's not so complicated
Thorcode: I will skip that puzzle
Carnage2: wy
Thorcode: that puzzle is too complicate for me
Uljahn: not the best puzzle to learn trig, i suppose Mad Pod Racing is a bit better or something like CodeBusters
Thorcode: how codebuster help me learn trig
Thorcode: it just collecting ghost
raizbro: hi
raizbro: any Qustein
raizbro: guys
raizbro: If you see thorcode dotn say my secret here I tell Its : its a apple code from englis
raizbro: guys any secret
Uljahn: raizbro: no spam here, it's a warning
raizbro: no
Uljahn: guess it's enough, we talk about coding here
kite1002: anyone can help with regex? I try to match 'A B C' from ( A B C ) with \( ([^ ]+(?= ) ?)+ \) but it only matches last word not all of them
kite1002: \( ([^ ]+(?= ) ?)+ \)
kite1002: using par space as boundary on each side so I try to use lookahead to not consume last space in the list of words
kite1002: nvm I just needed to put another parenthesis around the whole thing since I got last match instead of all the matches at once
NotGoodatall: an someone join my team for the event.
KalamariKing: why are there *so many* new folk today
KalamariKing: NotGoodatall you could always ask family or friends, you don't need much coding experience to partake this time
NotGoodatall: I'm the only one that knows coding.
Carnage2: https://open.spotify.com/track/2Q3eTX...
JRFerguson: will this be similar to the usual contests or much different ?
Astrobytes: Completely different.
JRFerguson: why...
JRFerguson: not competitive bot programming ?
Astrobytes: Not bot programming, no XP, no CP, doesn't affect leaderboard
Uljahn: will be similar to https://escape.codingame.com/games
JRFerguson: dang
Carnage2: Hey a have been kick mani s times now a going to kick you

ProCoder03: is someone doing fall challenge today ??
eulerscheZahl: what's a fall challenge?
b0n5a1: a bungee jump...
b0n5a1: o/
eggeggwe: I am ready for fall challenge!!
chungangli: @altugtatlisu
AntonCosmin: how many team members should be in a team?
gjjkdfcjnsjfn: I am doing the challenge but it starts during PE so I might have to wait an hour or 2
BrunoFelthes: today is a sad day :pensive:
eulerscheZahl: https://towardsdatascience.com/12-active-ai-game-competitions-ongoing-upcoming-6d97f3c3f920
chose carefully
BrunoFelthes: any recommendations eulerscheZahl?
eulerscheZahl: i played yare. was fun but their next contest might take 4 months or so to start
eulerscheZahl: gocoder is probably the next that I consider looking into
ProCoder03: gocoder is nice..
eulerscheZahl: LuxAI is running right now. Game looks nice, I just don't like those long running contests
ProCoder03: except for the fact, it needs reinforcement learning or machine learning :disappointed:
eulerscheZahl: it does not. you can play it however you want to
eulerscheZahl: the organizers are interested in ML. but they don't enforce it. And I don't think that a ML approach will win the contest
eulerscheZahl: that is: no neural network if you consider MCTS and alike as ML too, then it has high chances
ProCoder03: ohh... you mean I could go with a typical if-else decision tree ??
eulerscheZahl: of course
ProCoder03: Well, then got 4 months to prepare an all case decision tree for it
eulerscheZahl: or you step up your gameplay and simulate it properly ;)
ProCoder03: how will Russian AI Cup be ??
eulerscheZahl: they have complex games. let me find a few videos of previous contests
ProCoder03: I could, but I am poor at writing simulators for now :disappointed:
eulerscheZahl: RAIC 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfImU0kAFI0
eulerscheZahl: you can still watch 2020 replays here: https://russianaicup.ru/
eulerscheZahl: 2018: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p73XwFCbkA
eulerscheZahl: in 2017 they had a starcraft-like strategy game with fog of war and different terrains that make some units stronger and others weaker
eulerscheZahl: ground and air units
ProCoder03: that was nice :smile:
ProCoder03: thanks
eulerscheZahl: and if you want a free tshirt, you can usually get it in 1-2 afternoons
Astrobytes: and receive it sometime this decade
ProCoder03: is it ongoing ??
eulerscheZahl: 360 tshirts, 60 hoodies to win. just be patient as delivery takes a year :D
ProCoder03: lol
eulerscheZahl: RAIC has ended in January. Next contest starts in February 2022
eulerscheZahl: takes ages but they ship it in the end. I've never not received it so far (still waiting for 2021)
ProCoder03: February 2022 , well it will be a pretty tight month for you, bomberland, yare and RAIC
eulerscheZahl: not sure if i can handle all of it :(
eulerscheZahl: but bomberland starts in december
eulerscheZahl: yare will also launch the new game earlier. just a contest around february
eulerscheZahl: and RAIC: if it starts in February, it will end in March
eulerscheZahl: maybe even April
ProCoder03: yeah, I misinterpreted the announcement for bomberland
ProCoder03: for yare, any ideas when the new ones will come ??
eulerscheZahl: and I only want the hoodie, so not going all-in at RAIC
eulerscheZahl: i don't know regarding yare
ProCoder03: well mostly everyone participates for swags :joy:
eulerscheZahl: if there are multiple interesting contests going on, it helps to decide
eulerscheZahl: wouldn't have taken 3 days off for Huawei without the prizes
Marchete: 1st at LuxAI is called Toad Brigade :spy:
Marchete: coincidence? I don't think so!
eulerscheZahl: i wish i could claim authorship over that bot
eulerscheZahl: $4000 for the winner, not bad
ProCoder03: atlast they updated languages with puzzles completed
ProCoder03: is the certification valid humph ??
ProCoder03: I mean is it accepted by companies
eulerscheZahl: no idea, I didn't even bother doing their tests
ProCoder03: I tried C# and got better than 99% professionals :thinking:
eulerscheZahl: maybe they consider you as better than me because I didn't take the test?
eulerscheZahl: i've seen so many >99%, that's the only explanation I have
dbdr: are you guys doing the contest>
dbdr: ?
ProCoder03: obviously I just started C# an year ago
eulerscheZahl: in 4 mins i will log out and don't return for the next 7 days
ProCoder03: dbdr I am just attempting
dbdr: boycotting eulerscheZahl?
eulerscheZahl: maybe. and not moderating the chat
eulerscheZahl: so do some other mods
ProCoder03: we have an attendee of 12k which was 5k less than previous fall challenge
eulerscheZahl: we are an inclusive community now, everyone can spam
dbdr: I don't even have a team
eulerscheZahl: you can play solo
dbdr: ok
eulerscheZahl: registered players != participants
eulerscheZahl: the last contest had similar registration count
ProCoder03: atleast 80%
dbdr: also going on a trip tomorrow at 3:30 am, so not sure how much time I'll have. and how much time is needed
ProCoder03: it says 2 hrs
ProCoder03: probably 1 hr
eulerscheZahl: i predict 40min for the first to finish
eulerscheZahl: but i have no idea
Astrobytes: Not doing it, not moderating.
Nikgame: glhf everyone
tomie24: I am going solo as well
eulerscheZahl: only saw the roman numerals on the candles
Mundgus: glhf :)
eulerscheZahl: in the contest artwork
eggeggwe: last 30 seconds!!!
eulerscheZahl: anyways, see you next week :wage:
eulerscheZahl: :wave:
ProCoder03: :wave:
Elvis_Depresley: gl hf
eggeggwe: glhf
ProCoder03: hf is the main part for being in CG
EveryOS: Real smooth xD I was expecting it to start when the countdown reached 0
Nikgame: 502 Bad gateway Lets gooo
tomie24: I refreshed the page and now don't see anything
ProCoder03: eulerscheZahl didn't you log out yet ??
EveryOS: Sae=me
Fryzzing: Nice challenge guys!
yesworld.dev: This page will be updated once the organizer has started the event.
EveryOS: *Same
eggeggwe: i think i finish the challenge(?
yesworld.dev: Same )
paradise1987: hello helloooo
[CG]Thibaud: We'll open the mission soon, time for people to coordinate with their team.
wackadoodle: 1 man teams ftw
Beretta_Vexee: One wo/man army !
tomie24: I guess most teams will be of size 1
ProCoder03: lot of one man armies, Ig
eggeggwe: my team size is 5, but 4 of mine are sleeping though
KVNMDS: Hello I am with Lucas
ProCoder03: eggeggwe :joy:
EveryOS: xD
ProCoder03: some are now only registering :frowning:
Toby75: did the organizer fall asleep?
EveryOS: Perhaps
Essenti: maybe :D
eggeggwe: maybe
C_Minor: I got 504 error
dbdr: they said they wait a few minutes for teams to coordinate
Beretta_Vexee: Alors on joue ! #AoE
Zardosh: they said on the help page that they'd wait 15 mins for all teams to be ready
Essenti: can i start tomorrow if my team cant today?
Mahin1729: Can I join the event anytime in the next 7 days?
schachmatt: wait did they change it to allow 1 player teams?
schachmatt: (been out of the loop for a while)
ProCoder03: yeah sure, you don't need to start now
Essenti: cool, thanks
ProCoder03: you can start anytime in next 7 days
tomie24: yes but you don't have a chance for top 5 and win a t-shirt then
ge_pet: do we qualify for something else later?or it is just this?
Essenti: oh no :O i ven diddnt knew that i can win something, my prize is a fun
tomie24: well mine too since I doubt I will be anywhere close to top 5
Zardosh: top 5 is probably gonna be reserved to 6 plr teams
1612584: when the game is starting :)
dbdr: soon
Nikgame: it feels like waiting for a train in germany
eggeggwe: maybe soon
Nikgame: you think it starts at 6 but will be 7 lol
eggeggwe: lol
[CG]Thibaud: just a few minutes
ProCoder03: lol
vklidu: lol

bitwiseio: how long this event goes ?
AlexHL: Approximately 2h, depending on the time spent cracking the different codes.
bitwiseio: i mean, can i solve this tomorrow too?
AlexHL: yes
bitwiseio: ah nice, ty for the information
eggeggwe: can someone tell me hoe to stop the timer?
bitwiseio: :joy:
eggeggwe: I start with a accident QQ
bitwiseio: i think the timer is not stopable
eggeggwe: so it will start when the challenge start?
eggeggwe: I hope that i won't made my team lose(
bitwiseio: i can see the start button, did u pressed it ?
bitwiseio: otherwise try strg+f5
eggeggwe: yeah(
bitwiseio: hm, then u started it i think, maybe contact your team that they help u fast ^^
eggeggwe: they said they are sleeping now www

chungangli: Hello Cyranoid :)
Zardosh: cant execute code
Zardosh: is it just me?
razorbeard: @Nikgame im just facing it im crying
eggeggwe: no more 502QAQ
[K]Gabor: no, we cant either
ProCoder03: yeah, Mine just quit
Nikgame: we did it
Nikgame: no clue how but yeah
ProCoder03: what di you do ??
Nikgame: code execution insnt working for me rn, so im waiting
Zardosh: cant run code aswell
Schneewittchen: japs
Westicles: surprised nobody is streaming it
Nikgame: im in uni so i cant stream rn
ProCoder03: Westicles, its not even smooth
ProCoder03: did you finish that chruch prob ??
alenic: regarding fall challenge it's a nice idea but the system crash continuosly and it is impossible to run the code
Zardosh: would be really bad if some teams are currently being able to run code while others cant
jacek: oO
Nikgame: yeah
Nikgame: we cant execute
ProCoder03: Internal CG regret: running Bot programming would have saved them more bucks and some negative feedback than this event :joy:
eggeggwe: i think a lot od 502s made me almost cry
makerecho: is the challenge supposed to work?
makerecho: we can not execute any code ... it just throws bunch of js errors
_martynas: it brokey
bjy: welp...
ProCoder03: people who don't live in France..
Hysta: even people living in France...
ProCoder03: lets agree on a pact... lets all come and do this one afterwards
eggeggwe: damn.....my country are far from France(
Zardosh: wait are ppl in france able to run code?
makerecho: i tried chrome, firefox, even went for edge XD still same error
makerecho: Network Error [504] Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0
Zardosh: i see a team with a french team
Zardosh: french name
Zardosh: gaining progress
razorbeard: dont wry im in france i have the same prob
Hysta: No, I'm from France and I can't run anything. So not everyone from there is able to run code
ProCoder03: nope people who live in france are near to CG infra thus they get much quicker response
ProCoder03: the leading team all are french
ProCoder03: take time to see
makerecho: i am on team with guy in paris and he can't run anything ...
Hysta: It really depends even from France
ProCoder03: these guys are from lyon
ProCoder03: *most of these
Zardosh: yea but imo they should just cancel this and reschedule it to some other day
Zardosh: cuz this is really unfair
Zardosh: only a small percentage of teams is able to progress
razorbeard: yep and the chrono is still running
Hysta: worst is time running out^^
AlexHL: maybe they should make the Challenge to make the Challenge stable
Runner87: 502 without press START
AlexHL: :grin:
Runner87: it's a good start
ProCoder03: An error has occurred Refresh your page or please contact support@codingame.com if the error occurs again
ProCoder03: lol
ProCoder03: just got it :disappointed:
B4tiste: I'm at Lyon, and cannot process anything, stop crying azbout your location
Zardosh: there are teams progressing and they are mostly french, even if you aren't able to run code, some teams are
Zardosh: and you should be complaining aswell
razorbeard: seems to work try again guys
sikr_: lol
ProCoder03: B4tiste just check out the top 10, they all are mostly french
razorbeard: ah it was just workign for a second :d
Westicles: where do you see the top10?
DomiKo: https://www.codingame.com/contests/escape/fall-challenge-2021
ProCoder03: https://www.codingame.com/contests/escape/fall-challenge-2021
ProCoder03: CoC works fine
Runner87: default START is a solo player ?
ProCoder03: yes
Zardosh: even if they fix it now, one of the teams is about to win
Zardosh: they should redo the entire event some other day
[CG]Thibaud: we're looking into the issue
5atchm1n: servser are KO
jacek: Oo
Westicles: I guess you can't see the leaderboard unless you start?
SmokingJoe: funny contest indeed, you cant do anything
Zardosh: i was able to run code once
Zardosh: but thats it
Westicles: oh, you can see leaderboard but not progression
_martynas: The 2nd team just completed one task
_martynas: Puzzles look good for Coding Escape but this event doesn't fit the Fall/Spring challenge vibes... Unable to participate temporarily wouldn't be a bad thing in bot programming contests...
vklidu: Tak to se vám moc nepovedlo pánové!
ProCoder03: the leading team has 3 tasks left
EveryOS: Yea. But since this is timed, it is very bad. How did the leading team overcome the 502s?
jacek: they bribed CG
EveryOS: xD
ProCoder03: lol
WolfDarrigan: They have an ethernet cable patched directly into the servers ;)
ProCoder03: those were french team
Westicles: I bet it is dbdr, he'll win for sure
ProCoder03: nope dbdr is not on there team
ProCoder03: unlessing he is using another acc
jacek: its hammertime
Westicles: no hammers this week. work stoppage
ProCoder03: I lost interest, its boring
ProCoder03: euler's idea jacek no mod for this week
EveryOS: I'm on a 2 person team, and started very confused, but we've managed to complete 2 tasks. But I've managed to figure out one puzzle, while my teammate solved the other. I'm amazed that some teams have 15 puzzles solved. We've only done 1/8th of that (and thanks to the 502s, we are taking a break)
ProCoder03: razorbeard not for still bad gateway
ProCoder03: reminds me of microsoft build this year :joy:
razorbeard: im out also, what a pity :(
Westicles: 3 winners
makerecho: lol. 3 teams already done and some can't even load the thing :/
jacek: is it over for them?
ProCoder03: 4 now
Westicles: the 0 hints guys can't be beaten
jacek: oh my
ProCoder03: I will never play escape humph
ProCoder03: gn and bye....
Wontonimo: gn and bye
Wontonimo: :wave: ProCoder03
ProCoder03: :wave: Wontonimo
ProCoder03: see you tmrw
Wontonimo: the nice thing about classic multis is that when the servers are overloaded it only means that arena battles are a bit slower to finish. You can still code and play
jacek: heres :taco: for ya
IgnacioGb: Hi guys, In the Outum Fall challenge how can I add members to my team if i have already started the challenge?
Runner87: if I start a solo player game then can I start a team session ?
magmasa: cringe contest when position in leaderboard is dependent website not working
Westicles: it is more fun anyhow if you don't rush through it
magmasa: then dont make it competitive
magmasa: and its fie
magmasa: fine, servers wont crash
jacek: :tada:
stefan-gg: whi is there an overtime ?
Zardosh: i hope they do something about the downtime
Westicles: I would love to see #fr auto-translated and added to #world. Some great discussions over there
Wontonimo: autotranslate works wonders
Wontonimo: and my very poor French comprehension
jacek: deepL eh
Wontonimo: well, since noone seems to be discussing multis or puzzles I'm gonna log off and check in maybe tomorrow
Wontonimo: cy
selalmaz: sa beyler
jacek: welp no one to troll to. obai
jacek: bye Automaton2000
Automaton2000: what's the best way is to do a ton of ranks
Schneewittchen: Can one go one into the next room after 2 hours?
Schneewittchen: go on*
Schneewittchen: lül
VRMR: Hi all I got a challenge today where I had to sort an array of characters of * - + with preference order * > - > + input= ['*-', '-*', '+*', '--']; output = ['*-', '-*', '--', '+*' ] any help would be appreciated
Nanosplitter: _.Martin_. just put your question in here and if someone has an answer they will answer
Westicles: Something change recently with the API?
Astrobytes: login endpoint changed from CodinGamer/loginSiteV2 to CodinGamer/loginSite
Astrobytes: Just grab session cookie Not sure if anything else changed
_.Martin_.: how do i beat the 2nd boss
Astrobytes: Report him to the 3rd boss
Westicles: userId = r.json()['codinGamer']['userId'] KeyError: 'codinGamer'
Westicles: seems to have broken the NS script
Astrobytes: Westicles: Discord I'm afraid but might be useful info here https://discord.com/channels/466965651135922206/466965651135922208/902908142982168607
AntiSquid: oh SNU is on the leaderboard
Westicles: Astrobytes, thanks
Astrobytes: Westicles: np man
Noyotens: what is way to display a sequence of such corners, and of translating them into UP/DOWN outputs in the fall challenge
AntiSquid: are you asking for solution during the contest ? @_@
AntiSquid: Automaton2000 take care of him
Automaton2000: how can i start tomorrow if my team cant today?
_.Martin_.: i need help with the 2nd boss
Noyotens: AntiSquid what if i didnt complete before 2 hours
Stilgart: Automaton2000: team up with AutomatonNN
Automaton2000: they don't have to track it yourself
Stilgart: Automaton2000: I can also lend you CGActivity_Bot if you need (but beware, it's a angry turtle)
Automaton2000: it's not really my kind of game
oki098: Is rust a good language to learn for this
oki098: c++ is terrible for competitive programming
oki098: takes more time to write things down so
elio27: bon je suis 7/8 y'a un type qui a leak la réponse dans le chat mais j'étais trop occupé à me casser la tête à comprendre
elio27: sorry wrong chat
Dustyy: What???!!!!
Cukinoden: can someone explain to me what the heck is going on in the glass
Cukinoden: the clans and castle what was that !!
ninnghazad: i kinda flailed at the fall thing today. =/ but still was fun. did stupid things, like clicking the hints just to see what happens. costs time is what happens. or pay attention to my annoying kid, which did nothing for my score!! think im gonna do the winter thingy too. was kinda different from what i expected - i thought it'd be like just coding and not so... visual. nice change of pace.
Zardosh: the contest was really cool but the downtime in the middle of everything was unfortunate
ninnghazad: i came late, just had some weird short disconnects but no real wait inbetween.
MadKnight: wait, is yellow on clan flags called Orange ?
ninnghazad: ye, theres no yellow i think
MadKnight: why can't i find clan flag for a description ?
ninnghazad: cause you describe wrong probly
MadKnight: did u find the half green flag name?
ninnghazad: ye i found all the flags i searched for. remember symbols can be invisible but still have a type.
MadKnight: oh now that's a surprise
MadKnight: but i still can't find the middle flag
ninnghazad: oh, the center flag, the last one is special - theres a note about somewhere in the room.
Scarfield: hey MadKnight have you seen that csb changed name to "Mad Pod Racing"?
c0d34: does anyone know how to increase the amount of hits you need to take down an alien?
MadKnight: yes Scarfield i did
MadKnight: ninnghazad i still can't find the green one
ninnghazad: i just searched for one corner i knew and checked the other corners of these few manually. was faster than writing like 16 conditions.
ninnghazad: there were only like 4 that came with the corner i searched for. so it was obvious which one was the good one
MadKnight: i count the number of green corners and the number of white corners with 4 blue rectangles
MadKnight: and finds something when i remove the condition for the symbols
ninnghazad: so print those you find and look if there are any that match the other 3 corners.
MadKnight: i dunno but when i removed the condition for 4 symbols i passed it
MadKnight: what's the yellow one's symbol called?
ninnghazad: i think i had different colors and flags
MadKnight: it's like a spike thingy
ninnghazad: probably the lily
ninnghazad: like a spearhead with two side thingies and a point middle thingy
MadKnight: well it can't find it again
ninnghazad: so you have 4 and missing only center flag?
ninnghazad: try searching for 4 background colors only then - you probably end up with like 2 or 3 that fit and you can guess from there.
Noyotens: i spent two hours looking for half green flag just cause i used SymbolColor instead of Color
Noyotens: :frowning2:
MadKnight: lol rip
MadKnight: well mine turned out to only have 3 symbols instead of 4
MadKnight: and they were circles
ninnghazad: aw man... i clicked that first manual tombstone puzzle thing like 30 times from the beginning because it just didn't get how it worked.
MadKnight: no wait, rectangles, but still 3
ninnghazad: does codegolf count whitespace?
MadKnight: what are there clan locations for?
ninnghazad: that comes soon
Westicles: MK, good to see you
Westicles: They renamed CSB in honor of you
MadKnight: oh i also needed to print the left side ones
Noyotens: i found the middle shield what should i do
MadKnight: why did i come back now everyone is gonna mention that to me
Westicles: yes, everyone will for sure. over and over
MadKnight: Automaton2000 unrename it
Automaton2000: i've never done a clash
ninnghazad: it's kinda hectic
ninnghazad: a bit like crunchtime, but you don't get paid.
MadKnight: having so much fun looking for a path for my castles on this huge map
MadKnight: are u having fun, Automaton2000 ?
Automaton2000: i think there's a fix for that
ninnghazad: glasses. put em on.
MadKnight: next one looks fun but let's take a break
Noyotens: if you take a break and close the page is the timer keep going?
MadKnight: probably
MadKnight: Westicles did u complete the game ?
Thorcode: what the time know in Europe?
Thorcode: now
MadKnight: okay google
Noyotens: 1:45 AM
Thorcode: thanks
Noyotens: np
Thorcode: that why my friend is not here
ninnghazad: it's the perfect time to give em a call!
ninnghazad: let em know u care!
Thorcode: I tried
ninnghazad: lol =)
ninnghazad: --friends
Thorcode: I think they are sleeping
Wontonimo: hi friends
Thorcode: hi Wontonimo
Wontonimo: hey Thorcode
Thorcode: ?
Wontonimo: ?
Wontonimo: what?? MadKnight is here?!?
xions: whats up
Wontonimo: hey MadKnight !
MadKnight: nope
Wontonimo: long time
MadKnight: me not here
Wontonimo: i've missed chatting
MadKnight: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
MadKnight: did u complete the game Wontonimo ?
Wontonimo: I have not entered fall challenge 2021
Wontonimo: have you started?
MadKnight: yep
MadKnight: it's like single player
Thorcode: In this time I can still invite teammate right?
MadKnight: dunno
MadKnight: i'm playing solo
Wontonimo: are you having fun MK ?
Justin-Truong: I will try to solo that challenge :D
Wontonimo: good luck Justin-Truong
Wontonimo: hey DustinWestGlow and xions and Fabricioo
Wontonimo: welcome to codingame
DustinWestGlow: thanks man that was quite a shoutout
Wontonimo: so loud it made you see red
Wontonimo: btw, whenever someone mentions your name it will appear red for you only
DustinWestGlow: yeah i just did 3 clashes im contemplating life Okay, Wontonimo
Wontonimo: no need for "@" or "#", just the name will do. Start typing someones name then press tab t oautocomplete
Wontonimo: yeah, like that
Wontonimo: typing /help will show you some more options
DustinWestGlow: yeah so /me is contemplating all Greek wisdom after those 3 clashes
DustinWestGlow: all Greek philosophy what was Plato thinking who made the pillars of reasoning
Wontonimo: did you find it difficult DustinWestGlow or easy?
DustinWestGlow: I know how to use Python and stackoverflow But I don't have experience implementing algorithms by the book and practice recognizing what to use where so I did not finish first. Maybe I can look at it from a better angle than self-study. A lot of people seem to be self taught but maybe I can do better. I have a whole Fall Break to take action toward that though.
Wontonimo: have you tried the puzzles?
Wontonimo: they may be better for you. they are not timed and allow you time to do research
Wontonimo: here is what is generally considered the 2nd puzzle https://www.codingame.com/training/easy/the-descent
DustinWestGlow: No, I haven't. I can do the research. I just found the Descent thanks, very much.
Wontonimo: and here is one that I made https://www.codingame.com/training/easy/fax-machine
Wontonimo: that is in the "easy" category
Wontonimo: the puzzles take a lot more time than the clashes. Don't keep track of time, just have fun solving parts of it
Wontonimo: what language are you using DustinWestGlow?
DustinWestGlow: That is reasonable. so, I'm using Python but I completed a coding course with a few other languages. Thanks so much for your help to a stranger like me.
joniebear: 🐍 language, best language
Wontonimo: oh, i didn't know you were a stranger. ah man, 2nd mistake today
joniebear: Is there a code golf for Fax Machine?
Wontonimo: if you want to practice python specifically and want something a little more gentle than codingame, try this free site https://www.hackinscience.org/exercises/ (then come back)
Wontonimo: there are only 4 code golfs https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/codegolf
MadKnight: well i did, Wontonimo
DustinWestGlow: yeah... RGB compression is what Fax Machine looks like.
Wontonimo: but you can submit 3 language entries per golf
Justin-Truong: http://chat.codingame.com/pastebin/3192dfbc-7635-4460-9666-270d38b8a341
Justin-Truong: is this is horizontal
Wontonimo: a horizontal what?
Wontonimo: what's the puzzle you are working on ?
Justin-Truong: how can I remove "" in my list?
DustinWestGlow: I don't have a capital s key
Wontonimo: Justin-Truong if you list is ["hi","","there","justin"]
Justin-Truong: yep
Justin-Truong: not that
Justin-Truong: I want to delete all the "" in my list
Wontonimo: you can remove "" like so result = [x of x in stuff if x!=""]
Wontonimo: result = ["hi","there","justin"]
Justin-Truong: thanks
DustinWestGlow: so, how come regular expressions were difficult to find internet resources for? I just found out a few things but it's a googling copy paste mess. Are there any resources you can point me to?
Wontonimo: ask me a couple questions and i'll answer as best i can
ninnghazad: check out https://regex101.com/
ninnghazad: i like the online thingies for regex to try and check expressions
Wontonimo: +1 nice link
Wontonimo: but, the offer still stands. I'll do my best to answer regex questions
DustinWestGlow: why were they taught in coding courses?
Wontonimo: what coding courses?
Wontonimo: why were regex taught somewhere? i can only imagine it's because REGEX IS FRIKIN POWERFUL
Wontonimo: it is a language upon itself
ninnghazad: ye, but it's like writing brainfuck
DustinWestGlow: my apologies I must leave for an event I will follow u
Wontonimo: no, it sure isn't. it is pretty straight forward if you don't abuse it
Wontonimo: for example,
Wontonimo: if you want to match the word "sup", you simply use "sup"
Wontonimo: if you want to match "sup" or "soup" you have a few choices
Wontonimo: "(sup|soup)"
Wontonimo: this is an or statement and you can list as many items seperated by | as you like
Wontonimo: another ways is like this "sou?p"
Wontonimo: the "?" means the previous letter is optional
Wontonimo: another is "s(o|ou)p"
Wontonimo: again, the stuff between () is an or list
Justin-Truong: how to change ['hi','there'] to ["hi","there"] ?
Justin-Truong: oops
Wontonimo: no need
Justin-Truong: ?
Justin-Truong: I need that
Justin-Truong: oh
Justin-Truong: I have a way to do that
Justin-Truong: no
Justin-Truong: I need to learn
Justin-Truong: I wish I have a full 2 hours to solve it
Wontonimo: do puzzles instead of clash
Justin-Truong: no I'm trying fall challenge
Justin-Truong: and I can't focus or stop the challenge
MoMaT: ask team for help
MoMaT: or relax, let it go and finish tomorrow
Wontonimo: you better finish it because if you don't all the worst things possible will happen, like you'll have to eat broccoli tomorrow for breakfast.
ninnghazad: mmmm, broccoli...
Wontonimo: and you wan't have clean socks on monday and everyone will point at your shoes
Wontonimo: think of all the bad things that will happen Justin-Truong... you have to finish this challenge
Justin-Truong: I can't stop that challenge and I need to learn online
Justin-Truong: I hate that
Justin-Truong: I wish I would finish that
Wontonimo: i hope you've learnt your lesson grasshopper
Wontonimo: timed challenges are not good for learning. they are only good for assessing
Justin-Truong: yep
Justin-Truong: and my teacher always call me
Justin-Truong: so I can't do the challenge as well
Justin-Truong: :(((((((((((((((((((((
ninnghazad: stop stressing yourself out dude
Wontonimo: no, more stress, max stress, that's how we make diamonds
Justin-Truong: yep
Wontonimo: i'm kidding
ninnghazad: compress all the stress + lubricate with tears = superdiamonds
Justin-Truong: really bro
Wontonimo: you don't want your carbon crushed down to the size of a mellon
Justin-Truong: well I can't solo that fall as well
Justin-Truong: :(
Wontonimo: if the test is a 42Km run in 4 hours, and you *only* make it 25Km... did you fail?
Wontonimo: hell, if I made it 25km in 4 hours that'd be a huge success for me
ninnghazad: lol if i made 25km in a week i'd be proud
Wontonimo: yeah, but according to *someone else* we would have failed the test, so ... there's a message in there somewhere
Wontonimo: i think it's that we are out of shape :D
Wontonimo: lower your standards, that's the secret to happiness (and a life long love of coding)
Justin-Truong: ok
Justin-Truong: thanks guy
Wontonimo: anytime you need me to get up on my soapbox and spit random life advice that will probably not help, I'm here for you
Justin-Truong: I will stop trying that challenge and keep on learning on my school for the test
Justin-Truong: and let my brain relax
MadKnight: so why are u not doing the challenge Wontonimo ?
Justin-Truong: Have you finish that challenge Mad Knight?
Wontonimo: i don't like escape mazes
Wontonimo: i've done 2 in person and 1 online already. all three experiences were blah
ProCoder03: Morning everyone !!
Wontonimo: it doesn't help that i suck at them
Wontonimo: hey ProCoder03
ProCoder03: hello Wontonimo
Thorcode: sad for you my bro Justin-Truong
ProCoder03: wait are you both same ??
ProCoder03: *aren't
Thorcode: not now
Wontonimo: who both same?
Justin-Truong: yep
Thorcode: know Justin-Truong nick is from my neubour
Thorcode: coussin
Thorcode: my bad grammar
Thorcode: now
ProCoder03: My fall challenge is now running at 9hr and 45 mins :laughing:
Justin-Truong: yep it does pause
Justin-Truong: I think I finishl do it in this afternoon
Justin-Truong: *not
Justin-Truong: doing
Justin-Truong: I got 1hr40 min
Justin-Truong: and the time does not stop
ProCoder03: It was not as fun as that steam house
Justin-Truong: Sherlock is better
Justin-Truong: steam house kinda hard
ProCoder03: That was too easy
ProCoder03: sherlock
Justin-Truong: yep
Thorcode: I got top 1% in steam housse
Thorcode: 2 attempt :D
ProCoder03: not counted :smile:
Justin-Truong: bye I gotta learn
ProCoder03: bye
Thorcode: bye bro
Thorcode: keep learning stupid online :D
Thorcode: school
ProCoder03: you guys still have online schools ??
ProCoder03: lucky
Justin-Truong: yep
Justin-Truong: still online
Justin-Truong: but my teacher always call me
Justin-Truong: so I can't focus on coding
Thorcode: not me
Thorcode: I can still coding while online school
Justin-Truong: lucky for you
Justin-Truong: bye I have an test
Justin-Truong: and that site have a good hack dectection
joniebear: Well, here it goes. My first clash contribution :D
Wontonimo: nice, congrats
Wontonimo: expect your first contribution to have a LOT of feedback
joniebear: Well, it better. The instructions are a bit vague at times :P
untillness: hello
___I_am_Loser___: std::cout << "Hello, World\n";
Husoski: fprintf(stderr, "Goodbye, cruel world!\n");
ProCoder03: next == groups.length && (next = 0); what does this do in JS ??
Husoski: That's a fancy if statement, same as: if (next == groups.length) next = 0;
Husoski: The idea is that the right side of && isn't evaluated if the left side is false.
ProCoder03: :man_facepalming:
ProCoder03: why do they overcomplicate things
Thorcode: kinda nice Jonibear
joniebear: :blush: thanks!
Zardosh: does any of u guys know any games similar to coding escape?
Zardosh: does any of u guys know of any games similar to coding escape?
Zardosh: sry double msg
Thorcode: yeah I want to have a game like that too
ProCoder03: do the escapes in escape.codingame.com
Zardosh: its a really fun experience but theres too few rooms that we can access
ProCoder03: yeah
Zardosh: ive done them already

Zardosh: as some teams were able to still run code
Zardosh: while others couldnt
Thorcode: you got 21 place?
Zardosh: yea
ProCoder03: I got 1hr downtime
ProCoder03: :sob:
ProCoder03: why me ??
Zardosh: 21st place relative to the start of the event
Zardosh: damn i wrote 21th before
Zardosh: sorry lol
