@quartata oooh let me know when you have a testable build

You mean the string representation of a binary number?

Split into chunks of 7 map base convert and use pack

i found

now i try to transform byte array -> bitstring

to decompress

gimmetehcodez

def compress(s)
        b = "1" + self.compress_(s) + "1"
        b = b.split ""
        s_ = ""
        while b.length > 0
            c = popn(b, 8).join.to_i 2
            s_ += c.chr
        end
        s_
    end

where compress_ return a bitstring like 0111100001 and popn is a helper function to pop n elements from a array

i need a function to retrieve this bitstring from the output of the function

@TùxCräftîñg what do you want to do?

i solved it ^^^^

I'm just asking :P

i am working on the compression algorithm for Ru

@El'endiaStarman does it allow for multiple local players?

i agree ;_;

^

@ConorO'Brien ikr? Now I'm leaky. ;_;

@DJMcMayhem it's one of the few things that have made me teary on the internet

@NathanMerrill It would if it weren't the demo version.

bah

bah

I did some edge cases testing, and I was curious if it was the same

This part hit me the worst:

> Maybe other people will never understand why we strive towards a stupid goal -- reducing the byte-count of a program. I’ve never told anyone that in my free time I reduce my byte-count as much as possible, because nobody would understand, but it is fine. I don’t even remember how I got into here and how I met all of you. You all are certainly the best that happened to me in my life.

He summed it up nicely

The only option I can actually change is the computer intelligence.

hmm

TBH, I kinda feel like that should be pinned. Technically no, but :/.

well, as far as the app goes

1. Money gets subtracted at the end of your turn

(or added)

@DJMcMayhem I agree entirely

2. If you entrap a person on a single square, then die at the beginning of their turn

I do see these patterns with the computer players.

3. If you split an island, all of the money goes to the largest island

oh, does it allow you to undo your current turn?

Iirc my reply is now my most starred message of all time.

aka, can you move a couple units, then say no, and undo their moves (before ending your turn)?

I thought the money was split between islands (territories).

@NathanMerrill Yes, in fact. You can undo any movements within a turn.

at least on the app, its all to one or all to the other

@El'endiaStarman ok, then when you split a territory, is it random each time?

is it random where the house goes*

@NathanMerrill Both territories get a hut.

its fairly abusable in the early game...if you split a territory, and there are multiple spots for the house

then the house spot is random each time you split

@El'endiaStarman right, I'm talking about the hut-less territory that gets a hut

oh, and if you merge a territory, then the largest territory always keeps the house

random if they are the same size

if i have a string, how do i pad it with zeroes so the length is divisable by 8 in ruby?

use math and ljust

'0' * 8 - (str.len % 8) + str

Or something, don't really know ruby

thx

@DJMcMayhem associations

* cacled before +

Yeah, ik

@ConorO'Brien s/cacled/cackled

cackles evily

XD

"0" * (8 - s.length % 8) + s

That's probably also got an off by one. Idc though

You could also use a.rjust((8 - a.size) % 8 + a.size, "0")

:/

my compression algorithm is actually bad

PowerShell, 10 bytes --> "{0:d8}"-f followed by the thing you want padded

:D

Only works for integer or integer-like input

(8 - a.size) % 8 retains "00000000", but 8 - a.size % 8 goes to the next multiple

Cmc: given string and N, pad the string with string[0] until it's a multiple of N

my """""compression""""" algorithm multiply the length of the original text by 1.12 :/

the only compression i see is for very small texts

Compress hello world

V, 10 bytes: Àäl$@ahdv0

@ConorO'Brien 10 (compressed) / 11 (original) = 0.9090909090909091

here the ratio is good

is that your compression algorithm above?

def takedrop(l, n)
    l_ = []
    (1..n).each {|e| l_.push l.shift}
    l_
end

def popn(l, n)
    l_ = []
    (1..n).each {|e| l_.push l.pop}
    l_
end

class Compressor
    @@upper = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    @@lower = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

    def s_to_n(s)
        n = 0
        s.bytes.reverse_each {|b| n = (n << 8) + b}
        n
    end

    def capitalization_map(s)
        s = s.chars.map {|c| @@lower.index(c) == nil ? 1 : 0}.join
        while s.chomp! "0"; end
        s

$dict is a variable containing a english dictionary

if you have an english dictioanry you may be doing something wrong

?

i use the same as the jelly compressor

o_o

something is wrong then

@primo @Sp3000 i've asked shinh about adding a second brainfuck implementation to anarchy golf that disallows BFI's exploits, and he was open to the idea. i think it could be good if it has 8bit cells, EOF = 0, and allows negative memory addresses. do you have any opinions about that? i think negative memory addresses are a bit more fun for golf

the algorithm is a bit big for words not in the dictionary

or special characters

@DJMcMayhem PowerShell v2+, 48 bytes -- param($a,$b)'0'*(($b-$a.length)%$b+$a.Length)+$a

(5 bit size of the list and for each character 5 bit the size of the char and the char)

Might be able to golf it a bit

i think this algorithm is simply useless

@MitchSchwartz yet I have no clue how you managed 13 for the addition challenge :D

Also @MitchSchwartz @feersum, Sp3000 requested it to be added

@MartinEnder I just got my vim answer down to 8. :D

@NathanMerrill It's hard to tell since I usually split territories so all the men are at one side. They usually die next turn.

which addition challenge

I'm missing something

@El'endiaStarman I had a game where there was a spearman on a 2-sized territory for like 3 turns

keeping him entrapped was so annoying

@ConorO'Brien On anagolf. The current shortest vim answer is 13

ah

golf.shinh.org/p.rb?A+plus+B+problem

@NathanMerrill Yeah, territories can save up money (mostly because they can't do anything).

yeah, I know

no, unicode

you could use an obelus

it looks kinda like %

superkawaiiemoticon.tumblr.com

@El'endiaStarman also, in my last game, I captured the house on a 4-hex territory with 3 units

(ᵔᴥᵔ)

the house destroyed one of the units

it's referenced in textfac.es

@NathanMerrill Ah-haha, nice. Houses will also destroy trees (and graves too, presumably).

oh, I forgot about graves

⊙▃⊙

I need to do some testing

if I destroy a house, and the territory contains only towers, graves, and units, what will it destory?

ب_ب

I know it prefers trees first

don't destroy graves

Graves turn into trees after 1 turn. There are two kinds of trees: palm and evergreen (fir?). The palm trees spread to one adjacent hex every turn, the evergreen trees spread every three turns or something, or they only spread to hexes with two neighboring evergreen trees. Palm trees spawn in hexes next to the ocean from houses (when they're on a one-hex territory) or from graves; evergreen trees spawn in interior hexes.

@El'endiaStarman also it seems like the type of tree is random, but is more likely to be palm

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ lol no

@El'endiaStarman wait, trees spawn on 1-hex territories? I didn't know that

@Syxer you deep dreamed? D:

good to know

@zyabin101 what

trees are totally different in my version I think

oh yeah

ｇ＇ｎ ｂａｉ ｉ ｗｉｌｌ ｕｐｄａｔｅ Ｒｕ ｔｏｍｏｒｒｏｗ

@NathanMerrill Yeah, if you have a two-hex territory and you take the one that isn't a house, the house becomes a tree.

I used my own picture tho :D

@El'endiaStarman right, but I just assumed that houses became trees

I don't mean that they spawn randomly on one-hex territories.

@TùxCräftîñg 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚘𝚍𝚎 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚘𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚎 chars?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

what happens if you split a 3-hex territory?

only the house hex becomes a tree AFAIK

Correct.

so, houses become trees, not 1-square hexes

Yes.

@DJMcMayhem did you test it on the server? (you can do so without submitting to the problem if you want, using golf.shinh.org/check.rb )

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ Okay, so I need to become a mod. Will take a few years, according to my activity and me having only a few tens of flags (and even one harmful due to extended waiting times for the verdict).

also, I've seen 1-pine trees grow

Ｏｒ ｊｕｓｔ ｆｕｌｌｗｉｄｔｈ？ Ｔｈａｔ ｗｏｕｌｄ ｍａｋｅ ｓｅｎｓｅ

it takes a while, but they suddenly become surrounded by pine trees

@NathanMerrill Seems to happen pretty rarely. Palms grow every turn.

@MitchSchwartz I tried, but I think I misunderstood the problem >_>

@El'endiaStarman yeah. I think I'm only going to do palm trees

they are by far the more interesting of the two

s/interesting/aggravating

lol

[badge:socratic]

@El'endiaStarman also, I'm pretty positive my app grows palm trees anywhere (not just on the coast)

that said, the coast is virtually everywhere

@NathanMerrill I just destroyed a house on a 3-hex territory with a house, a unit, and a tower. The house replaced the tower.

@ΛεγίωνΜάμμαλϠΨΠʹ I can just become a mod to do this.

And reviewer. I really want that one

@El'endiaStarman cool

if you get super lucky, see if you can find a territory with a tree and a tower

@DJMcMayhem Well, I did a review of suggested edit on my own post, wielding a OP-hammer. :3

@NathanMerrill All the towers are gone, so... :P

lol

That's my only suggested edit review, and I had a close vote review.

wait, my app says "do you want to finish now" if it deems you are "sufficiently" ahead

does the game do that?

anyone know anything about taking limits of arbitrary functions?
