Shadows of the Knight - Episode 1 - Puzzle discussion

Have you tried refreshing your browser or using another browser?

I’ve refreshed the page plenty of times, and looking at the browser console there’s some CORS failures and a cross-origin localStorage failure that could be part of it, and that ‘navigator.sendBeacon’ is not a function, so maybe codingame is just broken? It’s weird, I’ve not had issues with some of the other puzzles, although I guess they didn’t do the fancy render. Really all I want is just the console output to figure out what’s wrong

5DN1L · July 31, 2025, 6:36pm

Are other puzzles with a viewer broken in your browser? For example, Shadows of the Knight - Episode 2 or The Fall - Episode 2?
Have you tried using other browsers?

thePalindrome · July 31, 2025, 6:49pm

The other ones were also broken, but switching browsers did seem to work, although it’s far from an ideal situation. Any thoughts on when we can get the website fixed? Especially the part where the broken visualizer also breaks all console output is not a good situation

Interesting, I pulled it up in a new browser profile and it’s all working, which suggests it might be something like overloaded localStorage. I’ll try to triage further, but I guess it’s not an issue for most people :shrug:

5DN1L · July 31, 2025, 6:55pm

That’s exactly what I’d like to say

It’s a bit unusual, as we’d likely have seen many more complaints if this were a widespread issue.

I’m not a staff member of CodinGame, nor am I very familiar with how websites work, so my ability to help is limited. That said, you could try a few troubleshooting steps, such as clearing your cache or adjusting your browser settings.

If the problem persists, I’d recommend reporting it in the #bug-report channel on CG’s Discord server so the team can look into it directly.

I do not understand why the round() does not work. When I check the coordinates, the character actually goes to the (0,2) coordinates with the round function as well, yet it says that the bomb is above. Any idea regarding the explanation ?

Can you share the link to a replay which shows an example of what you mentioned?

Codinspiderman · December 18, 2025, 1:38am

I had the same issue before and I had click submit

I’m struggling on the distance part. I was thinking of defining a max_y,min_y, and min_x,min_y to establish boundaries on how far he has gone but im confused on how to implement that with the given jump directions. any tips?

5DN1L · December 18, 2025, 6:58am

3 mins and 3ys probably won’t get you very far

Tip: Don’t think about how you’ll write the code first. You can work out by hand how the boundaries change with each of the jump directions, and once you’ve got that, you can convert that to code.

Hi, some tests aren’t giving me the number of shot they show. For exemple, the test number 5 shows “6 round left” but during the test :
Informations :

Locate the bombs, save the hostages!
Batman is on window (0,0)
The bombs are located below and to the right of Batman

02

Sortie d’erreur :

square_scan: xmin: 0, ymin: 0, xmax: 49, ymax: 49, batpos_x: 0, batpos_y: 0

Sortie standard :

12

Sortie d’erreur :

square_scan: xmin: 0, ymin: 0, xmax: 49, ymax: 49, batpos_x: 24, batpos_y: 24

at Answer.py. in on line 128

Informations :

I do not understand. There is an error “timeout” but my soft answers every round the same time and only got 1 round here before the error.

5DN1L · January 25, 2026, 8:46am

Was your answer-printing code (the actual output, not the soft answer) executed before or after the TypeError occurred?

Hrist · January 25, 2026, 2:16pm

Looks like it was executed before. My debug appears before the TypeError.

5DN1L · January 25, 2026, 4:45pm

If you want, you may send me your code in private message and I’ll take a look.

Hrist · January 25, 2026, 7:15pm

I would like to do that but i couldn’t find the way, the “friend” category is just a link and i couldn’t find any button on your profile.

nicola · January 25, 2026, 7:55pm

It’s the yellow button on the right of the screnshot.

Hrist · January 25, 2026, 8:25pm

Thanks but when i arrive on his profile i see this a blank space, the 3 button aren’t there.
I I would like to show you but i can’t upload pictures as new user.

5DN1L · January 25, 2026, 9:11pm

No worries, I’ve sent you a private message so that you can reply there.

Andomain · February 10, 2026, 8:23am

Think about if you need to round up or down depending on the direction you are moving
