Guess it's time to create a new KOTH?

It's more powerful, it's just kind of expected, I feel like. Knowing where other bots go is usually essential.

Comparing King of the Ziggurat, King of the Holster, Gold Collector, and (say) the XKCD one, all of them rely on game theory, just to different extents. For all of them, there could be bots up to the level of #4 (although that was banned in some) and the higher level the bot, the better (usually).
Romanp
May 27, 2022 21:22
Yeah, maybe, but I feel like even in the 2d "battle" koths which are the other categories, it still applies, just the level of minimum logic is higher
Romanp
May 27, 2022 21:20
To me, it feels like there are a few levels of bots:
1. Trivial bots with very simple behavior
2. Bots which have simple logic but usually ignore competitors
3. Bots with more complex logic designed to beat the competition while still relying on basic info (most "good" bots)
4. Bots which predict the moves of their opponents (sometimes banned)
5. Bots which directly mess with other bots or the controller (almost always banned)

Pretty much a pile of boolean logic and comparisons, but a very well-tuned pile.
Romanp
May 27, 2022 21:11
Yes, but they usually aren't super heavy on the technical side of things (from what I have seen). Big and complex, but not groundbreaking. Maybe that's just my limited experience I have so far.
Romanp

@emanresuA I'd even say it's easy enough to understand enough to write a controller.
Romanp

KoTHs don't really follow much of a pattern anyways besides that the competitors compete
Romanp
May 27, 2022 20:27
I have considered making a KoTH in such a way where it's literally a "fill-in-the-blanks" where each person creates a few pieces of logic or takes them from other posts and doesn't need a framework.

I think Nathan Merrill made a package for Java attempting to do this, but a language/interface could be interesting if it works for multiple languages.

Just got Copilot! Only problem is it's the last day of my job. Will still come in handy.

that "works"

I guess it only casts to a float at the last possible second.

(rSNBATWPL) if+if+0.0
-2.0
(rSNBATWPL) 0.0+if+if
0.0
Romanp
May 25, 2022 18:38
but not that if+if doesn't equal (if+0)+(if+0)
Romanp
May 25, 2022 18:38
I guess that makes sense
Romanp
May 25, 2022 18:38
(rSNBATWPL) (if+0)+(if+0)
-2
Romanp
May 25, 2022 18:38
And that if+if is null if if (cast to int) is -1
Romanp
May 25, 2022 18:37
yeah, but still strange that it behaves differently based on if it's on the left or right side.
Romanp
May 25, 2022 18:37
(rSNBATWPL) [ built-in ]
Null
(rSNBATWPL) [ built-in ]+1
Null
(rSNBATWPL) 1+[ built-in ]
1
(rSNBATWPL) Null+1
1
(rSNBATWPL) 1+Null
1
Romanp
May 25, 2022 18:36
2+if+if makes sense if if+if is null, but is [ built-in ] equal to 1?
Romanp
May 25, 2022 18:35
2+if
1
(rSNBATWPL) if+if
Null
(rSNBATWPL) 1+Null
1
(rSNBATWPL) 2+(if+if)
2
Romanp

unless for some reason your variable name was super long.
Romanp
May 25, 2022 17:34
if = -1? if+if=0?

Began work on a Mathematica-based golflang. Will probably abandon the idea but seems interesting.

Hop out the PPCG with the kolmo
It was one, two three and four (Bytes, man)
Chillin' in the graduation (Yo)
Your code is forty-four (Uh)
And it's still forty-four after a golf (Look at it)
Let it know
When I see it
I'm gonna change its line-height (Finished)
And then I'm gonna come back, and it's gonna be gone
Now, I'm gonna get that thing from the computer
I'm gonna put it in a folder (Right)
Now, I'm gonna download it (Download it)
I'm gonna put it on my phone (Right)
