Spring Challenge 2020 - Bugs & Questions

Contests
#124

I think bosses after wood leagues are taken from real players submission so it’s possible that they are buggy sometimes. Not sure whether codingame patch them or not.

#125

Clyde (Silver league boss) also “fail to provide 1 lines in time” sometimes

Hello,
Is is possible to have a debug mode in the IHM ? (like the batman one and the rectangle of possibilites).
I seach it where I see in the description this picture.

#129

Is it possible to continue working on your code and testing it against the challenge, even levels you didn’t reach, AFTER the challenge completes?

I simply don’t have the time to allocate to a challenge like this to be able to compete :upside_down_face:

#130

Yes, you will probably find it in https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/bot-programming some days after the challenge is over.

#131

Regarding time out

The same for me.
It is very unpredictable. Very often I run my code and get this error; I enable my debug in System.err, so program is executed longer; battle is executed ok.

This bug build false picture of leaderborad

#133

Playing the game using Python3, - it seems like the pac_ids are the same? Or I am not sure how to extract the pac_id of my pac, so its looking like mine just follows the opposing pac around. Though that also could be a side effect if the opposing pack is given a pellet value (I am trying to compare value to distance for the next x,y)

#134

Hi, I filled my school after the begining of the contest, so i’m not considered as part of it for the contest. is it normal?

#135

Could someone confirm this is a bug in a platform?

If not, why the situation does not repeat all the time, but sometimes works?

If this is normal, what should I measure to check my code?

There’s a bug when both players use SPEED the 2nd time. Speed is not working for the 2nd player: first player play twice while second plays only one.

example: https://www.codingame.com/replay/464042110

#137

I would have a good look at your own code, you look like you are Sped up, I notice also on turn 4 pac 0 only moves once, likewise on turn 7&8 neither bot moves twice, you have to put in a position 2 moves away to get the benefit of the speed boost

@javajim76 pac ids are the same for both players indeed. So you should check the variable “mine” too

@Pierrot_fr it’s not normal. I’ll add you to your school team.

@PawelLabaj could you give more details about your issue? I have trouble understanding when the timeout happens and when it doesn’t.

#140

Hello @TwoSteps and @PawelLabaj,
I think I face the same issue than @PawelLabaj
I run a battle, and I face a timeout. I run the same battle (by clicking on “Rejouer dans les mêmes conditions” (Replay under the same conditions)), and the timeout disappear. The function that took > 50ms the first battle, takes less than 1ms the second battle.
1st battle : https://www.codingame.com/replay/464227754
2nd battle : https://www.codingame.com/replay/464235548

Thanks for all
Laurent

Same code? Maybe too many prints in the console for one?

#142

@TwoSteps,

@lbadet exactly described my problem.

What do you mean by “Maybe too many prints in the console for one?” ?
I print only one order per pac. However I print some messages at the end of the order (coordinates). Do you think it ma cause the problem?

#143

I meant error prints, sorry. It’s very likely the issue is in your code.

#144

Hello @TwoSteps ,
Thank you for your answer

Yes, it is the same code for both battles

I will try to remove the logs (Console.Error.WriteLine())

Best regards

#145

Hello @TwoSteps,

I’ve remove the logs but the issue is still there



Same code for both battles

Best regards
