King of the Hill, or KotH, is probably the most unique tag on CGCC. If you've never come across it before, today's your lucky day! In a KotH, submissions will consist of "bots" which compete in some game. Because a KotH involves simulating a (sometimes quite complicated) game, they tend to form m...

@Fmbalbuena Are you interested in learning Jelly?

Fmbalbuena

@cairdcoinheringaahing yeah because i don't understand Links

caird coinheringaahing

@Fmbalbuena So is it a specific question, or do you actually want to properly learn Jelly?

Fmbalbuena

@cairdcoinheringaahing i need to learn because i don't understand almost any programs

caird coinheringaahing

@Fmbalbuena There are two definitions for a "link". Either an entire line of Jelly code, usually referred to as the "main link" (the last one) or "helper links". Or, a "bit" of the code, made up of either a single atom, or a combination of atoms and quicks

For example, +, H{ and +H¥@ are all links

oxy ain't a word

lyxal

> The term is first recorded as Latinized Greek oxymōrum, in Maurus Servius Honoratus (c. AD 400);[4] it is derived from the Greek ὀξύς oksús "sharp, keen, pointed"[5] and μωρός mōros "dull, stupid, foolish";[6] as it were, "sharp-dull", "keenly stupid", or "pointedly foolish".[7] The word oxymoron is autological, i.e. it is itself an example of an oxymoron.

I remain to my position of oxy not being a word and oxymoron therefore not being an oxymoron

caird coinheringaahing

@Fmbalbuena There's no real need to reupload it. The current one works fine, and having another one just adds more clutter to meta (plus, would we have to move nominations across, would nominated languages need to be renominated, etc?)

@Fmbalbuena By the way, you don't have to ping specific users when asking questions (unless they're an expert or something on that matter, which I am not)

caird coinheringaahing

In fact, unless you are specifically talking to a user, we ask that you don't ping them. It can be kinda disruptive for them

Hey @Riker! Haven't seen you round here for a while!

Riker

it is true

i joined sff gen chat to attempt to determine rand al'thor (username of a dude who i used to talk to there)'s opinions on the WoT amazon show

but he has apparently resolved not to see it since he doesn't want to ruin the books for him=)

caird coinheringaahing

Oh yeah, I meant to ask him about that :P

That's a strong decision tbh. Not sure I'd ever decide the same (for any tv adaptation of a book series I like) :P

Riker

i know but i'm not gonna poke him about it if he's not in the chat rn=)

personally i think it's excellent so far even for its differences from the books and thoroughly recommend it to anybody

Redwolf Programs

1.18 is the bad one

caird coinheringaahing

Not a fan of terrain generation changes?

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

3:53 AM

@cairdcoinheringaahing rip :(

Redwolf Programs

I think they seriously failed

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

in what way?

Redwolf Programs

The cave generation is unoriginal and boring to play in, and the new blocks/items don't fit in with the game at all

It feels modded, it fails to change what the players wanted in a cave update, and only shallowly does what it claimed it would

The mountains are good though, credit where credit is due

I just think making caves bigger and adding more of them hardly counts as a cave update

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

people seem to be under the impression that the new blocks are supposed to be as like major blocks to be like new decoration blocks

no, they're so that cave generation isn't the same exact grey all the way down :p and thye do an excellent job at that

caird coinheringaahing

I love the overground changes. The mountains, rivers and gorges make the entire world feel so much cooler

Redwolf Programs

3:55 AM

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ Yeah, but I really think existing blocks would've both looked better and required more creativity

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

which existing blocks would you suggest instead?

caird coinheringaahing

And cave biomes is creative, you can't deny that

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

also, the caves in my opinion do a good job making caves 1. genuinely dangerous 2. feel like more than just a bunch of mole tunnels

Redwolf Programs

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ Vines, ferns, mossy cobble, clay, coarse dirt

@cairdcoinheringaahing If they were good biomes, sure :p

The deep dark looks totally awesome though

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

they use vines and ferns, i believe coarse dirt as well. also those aren't what i mean

I mean the tuff/etc. that people seem to complain about - sorry if I misunderstood you

Redwolf Programs

3:56 AM

Nope, all new vines in caves, same with the dirt

caird coinheringaahing

The deep dark is gonna make me never dig below y = 0 :P

Redwolf Programs

Going below y=0 is another thing that annoys me about the update

I really don't think that was a necessary change

caird coinheringaahing

The warden might be the scariest thing they've ever added

Redwolf Programs

And -64 just feels arbitrary

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

@RedwolfPrograms i mean no? there are existing vines and grass too??

i mean yeah the creepvines are not hte same but they're also... not the same behavior as normal vines

Redwolf Programs

3:58 AM

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ Yeah, so why'd they have to add all new but less useful versions specifically for caves?

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

they do completely different things?

Redwolf Programs

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ Wait what? Creepvines?

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

whatever they're called. the ones that behave like the nether forest vines - like a scaffold rather than a ladder

they're very similar to subnautica creepvines

Redwolf Programs

I just think they should do what they did in 1.14: make use of the existing blocks as much as possible

Instead of adding effectively single use ones just so they don't have to get creative

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

i mean they did, they just added more. look at the biome block lists for lush caves

i see nothing new there other than rooted dirt and moss [carpet] that isn't totally new /shrug

Redwolf Programs

4:02 AM

The azaleas are ugly and could be replaced with ferns with very little changing. The hanging roots are cool, those are fine. The moss blocks are ugly, but I suppose they're fine. The spore blossoms look modded, the glow berries are also gross and look modded, the dripleaf is totally useless and lily pads are a thing already, and cave vines could be replaced with normal vines and nothing would change.

Rooted dirt is just coarse dirt with another name and less functionality

They're all just the shallowest possible things you could come up with. It's like someone who'd never played minecraft drew some concept art, and they copied it into the game wholesale.

No thought as to whether the blocks would integrate well into the game, or if there are already existing items that would work

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

the azaleas are trees that also spawn as little one-block bushes, they're not just ferns but purple. i personally disagree on the glow berries & spore blossoms. dripleaf is both taller than lily pads and falls (unlike lily pads)

Redwolf Programs

Going back to 1.14, they made an extreme effort to use existing blocks in the game, and everything they did add was given plenty of additional uses, and filled in gaps in the game's building blocks basically revolutionizing building.

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

cave vines are full-block scaffold vines and could not be replaced by normal vines, whihc have to attach to a block

Redwolf Programs

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ The falling is useless for any purposes though, since you can just crouch. Removes all the parkour or trapping possibilies.

caird coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms I maintain that 1.16 was one of the least "integrated" updates in the history of the game. Everything felt new and jarring. Still a great update

Redwolf Programs

4:06 AM

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ No they aren't? Cave vines have to attach to the ceiling

caird coinheringaahing

New things don't have to integrate, that's why they're new

Redwolf Programs

No, 1.16 integrated great into the rest of the game

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

@RedwolfPrograms well yeah, and scaffolds have to attach to the floor. vines require a block adjacent to every one

@RedwolfPrograms not everything has to be added with a specific parkour or trap possibility. sometimes i'ts just an interesting mechanic that didn't exist before

iirc they only changed normal vines in 1.14 and they also wouldn't really fit there without adjusting the texture to be more like iron bars (plus shape)

Redwolf Programs

@cairdcoinheringaahing They added plenty of dark building blocks, something that builders had been missing for ages. They added additional uses for gold, something that was missing. They added missing lore, tons of it, and food to the nether along with that. They massively improved some types of farms.

I could go on for ages

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

i think you just have a very unusual definition of integrated ./shrug

Redwolf Programs

4:09 AM

The items need to fit with the rest of the game

And have a niche not filled by other nearly identical blocks

They need to connect with multiple parts of the game

That makes it feel like a cohesive world and not a disjoint group of sets of features

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

if things needed to connect with multiple other parts it'd be nearly impossible to add anything new

Redwolf Programs

Not true though!

Look at 1.13, 1.14, or 1.16

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

or rather, yo'ud need to be constantly forward-planning

Redwolf Programs

@RedwolfPrograms All sweeping changes to some aspect of the game, and they worked perfectly with the existing items and blocks

caird coinheringaahing

At what point do I move all this to the CGCC gaming room? :P

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

4:11 AM

"1.13" "existing blocks" :thinking:

@cairdcoinheringaahing at the point people want to use this one to discuss code golfing? :p

Redwolf Programs

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ Kelp, sea grass, coral, sea pickles, etc. were unlike anything that existed already

But kelp is integrated into farming/smelting/trading, sea grass with turtles and scutes and shells and turtle master potions, coral and sea pickles as unique building blocks and lighting possibilities

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

@RedwolfPrograms in a startling turn of events, so are glowberries, azalea trees+roots, dripleaves

Redwolf Programs

Maybe glowberries I'll give to you, but azalea trees are literally just saplings and oak trees with fancy leaves, and dripleaves only give the illusion of adding something

And where do those fit into the game at large?

Glowberries, for all those times you need glowing vines which are...caves...and...caverns...and...not much else lol

Azalea trees? They don't fit with the existing plants, so they wouldn't look good in a garden. So they basically only work when paired with azalea leaves and other 1.18 cave blocks

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

dripleaves make caves more interesting to run around in. azalea trees look pretty (nice purple) and also show caves from above the surface

how do they not fit with existing plants? i think they look fine, certainly less disjointed than some of the 2block flowers + the smaller flowers

Redwolf Programs

Sure, but there are a million ways you could make caves more interesting to run around in, that integrate better into the existing game

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ They're a full block shape at the top, so they don't have the same organic look as the other plants, and the shading/coloring just looks weird alongside grass

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

4:16 AM

also, glowberries provide a really interesting light source that makes running around caves somewhat more cool with distant light sources. first looked kinda like swamp lights to me

Redwolf Programs

It's like there's two separate color schemes, azalea/caves and grass/overworld

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ Glowberries are nice in theory, just like dripleaves and dripstone. But implementation is where they suck. They just don't fit with the game's color scheme or with any building style other than 1.18 lush caves.

I think they had a lot of good ideas, don't get me wrong. I just think they ran out of time to implement them well, and made too specific of promises at minecon to be able to make additional changes.

Like with the deep dark. At first I had the same opinions on sculk and the warden, but they took some time to think about it, didn't make any big promises, and now it's looking totally awesome

And a big part of my criticism is what they didn't add. We needed better underground structures, more loot, more variety, etc. The new caves would be good as a first step, but there needs to be more than just interesting shaped holes in the ground.

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

@RedwolfPrograms I think you need to run around with the changes a bit more - they honestly mesh pretty well in the actual game once you get used to hte initial "huh that's a new green shade"

@RedwolfPrograms well yeah, but I think this is an excellent start - i don't think the expectation is that this is all for caves for a while

Redwolf Programs

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ I've played around in the snapshots for weeks straight and they've never really felt natural in the context of the rest of the game. The lush caves would work great in their own game, away from Minecraft as a whole, they just don't fit in.

@Rɪᴋᴇʀ Yeah, but when people wanted a cave update, underground structures and loot was a major part of that.

Rɪᴋᴇʀ

@RedwolfPrograms .shrug i still disagree, but to each their own i suppose

caird coinheringaahing

I do wish they added more underground structures, but, given the underground deep dark cities in 1.19, I'm ok with them holding off

Redwolf Programs

4:23 AM

I don't hate the changes in 1.18, they just make me feel like there's been a huge missed opportunity. I think the upcoming updates are going to be good though, so I might get over that in a few years' time :p

And 1.19 looks amazing

They'd been toying around with combat stuff, hopefully that'll be 1.20

I loved the new combat system and the community feedback style they used

caird coinheringaahing

For me, I like the overground enough on 1.18, and hate 1.17 enough, that its a good update in my book. Maybe not top tier but good

Redwolf Programs

I don't count 1.17 and 1.18 as distinct updates, and I don't think Mojang intended us to

They're Part I and Part II of Caves and Cliffs

So 1.17 is just 1.18's weird teenage phase

caird coinheringaahing

I still think it's better than 1.15, mainly because unless you play minecraft by adding your own shit, all they added was bees

lyxal

bees are cool

Redwolf Programs

1.15 was mainly a technical update

I remember like two months straight of snapshots with purely graphics-related changes

Lots of bugfixes too

caird coinheringaahing

4:26 AM

"But datapacks and mods got so much better" Yeah, fine, whatever. I don't give a crap about that, and you can do all the techy stuff as the "ending" to a proper update

Redwolf Programs

The bees were good though, it was just a smaller update. I don't have any problem with small updates as long as they're good :p

caird coinheringaahing

1.15 felt like a nothing update, unless you were part of a very specific subset of players :P

Redwolf Programs

@cairdcoinheringaahing They do do that though

caird coinheringaahing

The bees are good, but why are they so big? :P

Redwolf Programs

Look at 1.13, a huge technical update. It was going to be called "technically updated" for like a year until they merged it with their upcoming plans

@cairdcoinheringaahing Idk, ask the two meter wide spiders :p

I guess they made the bees big so baby bees could be wider than a single pixel

(Remind me why baby bees are even a thing though lol)

Nope, it was an obscure beta that also added four dimensional blocks and changed the color of one pixel in the cobblestone texture (which upset lots of player so it was changed back the next week)

What kind of horrible person makes people do calculus with a function as ugly as v(x) = 7 - (x² + 6x - 1) ** (2 / 3) + x²...

Wait it's worse...I misremembered the quadratic in the parentheses

A: Announcing Advent of Code Golf 2021! (+ Event challenge sandbox)

AoCG2021 Day 11 part 2: Hyperbolic rescue The story continues from AoC2017 Day 11. Crossing the bridge, you've barely reached the other side of the stream when you are overcome with a sense of deja-vu. "Haven't I done this already?" But before you can finish that thought, someone runs up to you...

Is this too mathematically complex for advent?

I don't really know what advent is supposed to be.

hyper-neutrino

oh i do not like that color theme

@GrainGhost ideally you should be able to solve each one within a day

although there have been AoC problems that have taken people a lot of time, not due to mathematical complexity but just being really tedious and length

Grain Ghost

Well I solved it in like 20 minutes.

hyper-neutrino

ah

like this one took some people a really long time; I took over an hour for this and still got #54

Redwolf Programs

I know which that is without even clicking lol

hyper-neutrino

tbf some people just gave up on it. idk I don't think it has to be really simple either; i'll go take a look at it first

If someone ever dares to say "sea monster" and "tile" in the same sentence I retain the legal right to punch them in the face

hyper-neutrino

@GrainGhost okay i haven't contemplated exactly how i'd solve this but i think i understand it and i think this is really cool

IMO difficulty is good

Q: Create a simple pagination

Given a current page number (p), pages to show (s), and max pages (m), create the classic pagination, marking the current page as active (*) and using ...'s for any outside the range. For example: p = 1, s = 5, m = 15 Should output: 1* 2 3 4 5 ... 15 Or p = 7, s = 5, m = 15 should output 1 .....
