I was pointed out that I generally shouldn't use variables in workspace as input method in anwers (something you sometimes actually do in MATLAB - generate variables with one script or just input them and then run another script for actual work). But when it's explicitly written in challenge that variables are acceptable form of input then I can do this - am I right? (I'm referring to that challenge specifically)

Yep, it should be fine since they explicitly say it. Normally you are correct in that isn't acceptable by defualt.

@RedwolfPrograms I would hella try it out if there was a more minimal moveset

Announcement: September ends in a few days, so feel free to post an R solution by then!

@Razetime Do you mean less weapons, or less complicated looking/bit-finding, or just less useless stuff (surrenderTo and that sort of thing)? I was thinking of simplifying it to just bid(amount) in auctions, and either moving, using a sword, using a bow, shielding, or healing in combat.

The whole see and atLocation is kind of dumb, I'd probably just replace it with an array as input with a list of bots

I should read futher

but there's waaay too many things to do

it's almost a full rpg

I say, simplify things further

like, adding an instagib

changing from auction to a cornucopia like thing

Do any commonly used languages have arbitrary precision rational number types as a builtin?

IIRC Python's Decimal module does, if that counts as builtin

@RedwolfPrograms perl 6 iirc

Oh cool, never knew that

Of course I use Javascript where 25% of people's browsers can't even handle arbitrary precision integers
