[17:53] very nice [17:53] 475 unique visitors yesterday [17:54] really? [17:54] wow [17:54] I'm impressed! [17:54] Yes, nice eh? [17:54] Don't know how many ad clicks [17:54] you can't check? [17:54] Haven't looked yet [18:24] MSG: Quit: Get out of that boring IRC client! It's no good for you. Bersirc 2.2 is your answer! [ http://www.bersirc.org/ [18:25] Join: mike5 joined #corewars [18:26] hi all [18:26] dammit [18:26] hi mike. [18:27] a question for you corewars gooroos [18:27] i'm strugling with the scoring :( [18:30] well.. are you going to ask it? ;) [18:31] oh, sisn't know anyone was paing attention.... anhoo [18:31] the dox say: [18:31] The score is reported after all rounds have been played. A [18:31] round ends when either a single surviving warrior remains or [18:31] when a maximum number of cycles has elapsed. For each [18:31] round, every surviving warrior is awarded points calculated [18:31] from a score formula (F). By default, this is (W*W-1)/S, [18:32] But not when the score is calculated [18:32] thats actually not true.. [18:32] or, rather, it seems it is only calculated afte the last round [18:32] the scoring is usually 3xWins+1xTies [18:33] Does that mean that F=(W*W-1)/S is only calculated for the last round [18:34] I don't believe that score formula is used for any round. [18:34] how about multi warrior battles? [18:34] I'm not sure about them. [18:34] hmmmmmmm [18:34] damn [18:37] ah well, I'll keep strugling with them [18:39] whatcha hacking on mike? [18:41] Oh, I'm writing a pMARS compatible interpreter in java [18:41] and all that I'm missing is how to calculate the results [18:42] java?! [18:42] madman! :) [18:42] Hey, I'm nearly done with the "pMARS" compatible part [18:43] then I'm on to Genetic Algorthms stuff [18:43] yeah? [18:43] gunna evolve? [18:43] yes [18:44] I'm sorry to hear you chose java, but welcome to the noble brotherhood of evolvers [18:44] * bvowk teaches mike the secret handshake. [18:44] well I'm familiar in Java, and I wanted it to be able to run anywhere [18:45] but java doesn't run everywhere ;) [18:45] * mike5 is silently proud [18:45] just the marketing goes everywhere [18:45] oh well, it's good enough for me, and I know Java more than I know windows [18:45] the runtimes are full of millions of subtle platform to platform bugs that drive sysadmins fscking batty! [18:45] I had "visual debugger" finished in no time [18:46] and have every bit of software shipping their own "supported" runtime with their code [18:46] [18:47] so whats your evolver going to do mike? [18:48] what do you mean. Don't they all do the same? [18:48] ou knwo, crossover, selection, generations and stuff ? [18:50] yeah, but everyone does it a little differently [18:50] usually they've got some novel little item they're proud to chatter about.. [18:51] in my case, I've got piles, but they usually don't work once I write them ;) [18:51] oh, I'll just start with the basics. Well, probably do it as configurable as possible [18:52] and maybe (in the FAR future) add the functionality to exchange warriors between evolvers. [18:58] I see. [18:58] well, simpler is usually better. [19:00] well I'll start with simpler one, and then move on to the more complex things [19:00] Also, I'll be trying to shape warriors on other things besides score [19:01] I'll try to figure out why a warrior died [19:01] things like that [19:07] good luck :) [19:27] tnx [19:35] Part: mike5 left #corewars [20:55] Join: mike5 joined #corewars [20:56] hi all [20:56] you're back. [20:56] now what ;) [20:57] yes. I figured out about the scoe [20:57] score [20:57] it works as it should now [20:58] so, all that's left for me to do is implement the -= option, and I'll be able to do another "release" :D [20:59] 15 minutes really, but I don't feel like doing it tonight [21:02] Part: mike5 left #corewars [21:19] MSG: Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com [23:40] MSG: Quit: Lost terminal
