As a codingamer,

To get the details of your score in the IDE, you can type in your console (once you played all the testcases):

console.log($(".testcase").toArray().map(x=>x.title.match(/^(.*?)(?: \(Points:(\d*)\))*$/)).map(t=>({z:t[1],x:+t[2]||0})).reduce((t,e,s,i)=>t+`${e.z}: ${e.x}\n`+(s===i.length-1?"~~~ SUM ~~~: "+i.reduce((t,e)=>t+e.x,0):""),""));

If you only care about the global score, it’s easier to submit !

Thanks to Counterbalance, the validators/tests are now available in a stub friendly format.

You can already check his pr till it’s approved: https://github.com/CodinGameCommunity/A-Star-Craft/pull/12/files

Not sure that it is a bug - just to confirm: looks like part of exception in java stacktrace is erased - I see only last lines + some strange
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0 on line 0
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke on line 62
at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke on line 43
at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke on line 498
at com.cartser.codemachine.java.Bridge.main on line 34
Is it done intentionally?

Di_Masta · October 20, 2018, 8:01am

Would you update test cases in the platform, because I still don’t see the robot information in there: http://bit.ly/2Exx8g4 For now I’ll use them from your link, thanks.

Tatam · October 20, 2018, 9:15am

@dbf: If you want to have the entire stacktrace, wrap the faulty instructions into a try-catch and do some exception.printStackTrace() in the catch block.

Tatam · October 20, 2018, 9:32am

[notSureIfBug] are we supposed to get an updated position of the robot at each turn or only the initial layout?
My problem: when simply printing out the recieved robot coordinates, I am always getting the same values. Have I misunderstood what a “game turn” means?

_CG_SaiksyApo · October 20, 2018, 11:17am

No, we won’t update the format in the platform but the referee format is quite easy to use.

The grid, upper letter (UDLR) for robots, lower letter for arrows (udlr).

_CG_SaiksyApo · October 20, 2018, 12:47pm

You only have one game turn. You get the initial data that’s all. All you have to do is to place arrows on the map. Your robots will then move accordingly and score.

Tatam · October 20, 2018, 3:30pm

Ok, understood. Thx.

You’re right. There was a bug. We changed something to improve Java streams and it impacted that. We’re fixing it.
Thanks!
