#1

whenever I run my code the following message appears
“Timeout: your program did not provide an input in due time. Earth was destroyed!”
what’s that suppose to mean?

#2

It means that CodinGame did not get an input from your program. This can happen when

  • You do not output anything
  • You forgot to add a \n at the end of your input
  • Your code takes a long time to execute, beyond the specified time limit.
  • etc

Same problem here! Still couldnt find out how to “provide an input in due time”!! Something with the split() method? The string[] input array contains the x,y coordinates of the light, and thor’s starting position! Can’t figure out what else should i do to “provide an input”. It was already auto-generated! pls help!

You have to use the function that writes something to the standard-out stream. The name of the function depends on the language you are using. In Java it’s called System.out.println, in C it’s printf, you get the picture. An example should be included in the autogenerated code.

Also take a look at the previous post.

I’ve already made it! Thanks the help btw! :

I’ve having this issue as well. Thor is at (30,4), and the light is at (31,4) by the end of the testcases. I essentially just followed the peusdocode in the given hint. If I add print("\n"), then it comes back with “Expected a movement (one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) but found ‘’”. Don’t know what the problem is.
