Thanks a lot for your quick response!

Glad to see the problem is known. I’ll wait for a solution being deployed, I’m not in a hurry.

Happy holidays to the staff!

Once a troop reaches its target, can its entityId be reused in future game loops? The inputs description seems to be missing this information.
Also, typo just before the Constraints section: “If you try to move more cyborgs than there are…”.

#47

No, ids are unique incrementing numbers: Referee source. This applies to all entities, including cyborgs, bombs, and factories

I’m #1 in Wood1 got some optimizations to try and implement tomorrow to beat the boss.

#49

OH! Got it already LOL

Just needed to make one change to my starting phase

#50

Hello everyone, i have some problems with performance. Is it a common problem or my code is just bad. If it is are there any solutions to improve my code?

You do not have a performance issue, your program is crashing because you are trying to access data in an array outside of its boundaries. Then, of course, it does not response in due time :worried:

oh… I see. Thaks you

What does it mean for a troop to be 0.5 away from its destination?

#55

if I recall well, it’s not possible

#56

distance = turns / 2, so, 0.5 is 1 turn away

Hi,
I am kind of new to this. Is there a way to download Ghost in Cell code so I can train my own agent offline? Or do I have to build a gameplay simulator myself? If so, did anyone build it already (in Python)?

I would like to test/apply RL but don’t know how to get along.
Thanks

now that’s just sad… :wink:

Hello!

Just like Picani I’m having exactly the same timeout problem with clojure.

There’s a response saying it has been solved but I’m experiencing timeout about a third of the time on startup too.

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone! Is Ghost in the Cell still playable? I cannot see any feedback when running my program. :frowning:

PS
changing browser helped :grinning: . I was using chrome. Works fine at firefox…

#62

You could also try to clear cache etc. There was some problem in the site recently.

#63

Could be because during the last moments, there was not anymore factories to attack (but still ennemy’s cyborg traveling) so your code may did send “wrong” order… Tips : a condition to tell your team to “wait” "if’ …

Hi, I’m kinda new to this game and coding in Python.
Currently I’m struggling at Ghost in the Cell
and I want to continue coding at this game because I love it.
Maybe someone can help me out a little.

I’d like to write a line:

  1. which prints/debugs the amount of Factories that I control
  2. which detects a neutral or enemy factory

That’s all. I Hope you can give me some tips or hints for it.
Have a nice day! :slight_smile:

In python3:
To print debug messages : print(“Debug messages…”, file=sys.stderr, flush=True)
