[09:33] first spontaneus boot since long time without tv-card [09:33] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [09:34] Nick Change: Miczu changed nick to Mizcu [09:34] Hrm, doesn't sound so good no [09:34] well, i just got to accept it [09:34] no grounded socket and the tv-card leaks [09:35] Bah.. [09:36] and this windows still works surprisingy well, considering that it has gone through 2 motherboard-changes [09:36] Heh, hardware changes and spontaneus boots... not something that windows handles well no [09:38] Do you know a fast pathfinding algorithm next to A*? [09:39] dont know any pathfinding algo's [09:40] Damn, I'm using A* at the moment, but its in a partial dynamic envoiroment, and for a mobile phone (not much computing power) so I'm looking for alternatives [09:47] But let me talk about cw some more (might be more intresting) :-) [09:47] I [09:47] 've had a great idea for a scanner, but I haven't (yet) found the trick I was looking for [09:48] A zooom scanner that resets itself to fast scanning [09:48] reverse zoom for carpeter ?;P [09:48] damn, i was close [09:48] A crossbreed between zooom and hsa :) [09:49] I have a relativly good version, working well with the resetting etc, and not 'too' big [09:49] But uhm it doesn't have a endgame :-) [09:49] Do you think it might work? [09:49] i am a bit sceptic about it [09:49] but it might work better against stones [09:50] It should be faster and idd beter against stones [09:52] top mov.ab scan , #5 [09:52] mov.i bomb , >top [09:52] add.f something , 1 [09:52] scan seq XXX , XXX [09:52] djn.a top , @top [09:52] jmn.f -3 , @top [09:52] mov.ab #5 , top [09:52] jmp scan-1 , }-2 [09:52] hmm.. tabs don't work well :) [09:53] again: [09:53] top mov.ab scan , #5 [09:53] mov.i bomb , >top [09:53] add.f something , 1 [09:53] scan seq XXX , XXX [09:53] djn.a top , @top [09:53] jmn.f -3 , @top [09:53] mov.ab #5 , top [09:53] jmp scan-1 , }-2 [09:54] It uses the Lux/Grendel-Zooom-trick for speed, but also resets when the bombing ends [09:58] why not jm(n/z) }-2, check? [09:58] ah, yes [09:58] thats why [10:00] Because then it bombs itself yes, tried that first :( [10:01] With one extra line its easy to implement, but then its a bit big [10:09] i just dont like jmn/z mov jmn/z -type coding.. [10:10] maybe you could "cheat" top into moving either scan or #5 to top with indirection [10:11] that would be kinda hard, but maybe your on something [10:19] In Lux we didn't actualy make a endgame, we just added a jmp to the clear at the end and bombed the instruction before that with a spl, works the same and is much simpler [10:45] Join: Core29 joined #corewars [11:02] Join: Core29_ joined #corewars [11:05] MSG: Ping timeout: 252 seconds [12:10] Just did the unthinkable...

Speed of light is a HSA-ish scanner [19:33] good name to confuse my competitors :-P [19:34] BTW, is Espiritu's QHSA somewhere published? [19:34] AFAIK, it was a 1c scanner, right?
