[16:21] Hi Bvowk [16:26] how's it going met? [16:27] So so :-) [16:30] that good eh? [16:30] still beating roy? [16:31] recmath: Roy's still in the lead - work: will find out what's going on 26 Sept - corewar: working on something - dinner: meatballs & spaghetti :-) [16:32] That should cover everything :-) [16:32] Roy has a 0.015 point advantage [16:33] I've written a brute force program in assembly. It's zooming through the different combinations [16:35] I don't think that brute force is going to work well :) [16:35] it's going to have to be at least a little clever. [16:35] the solution space gets absurdly big [16:36] A little clever = me having to think for longer [16:37] heh [16:37] Roy has taken the clever approach, but is only beating me on 3 of the 12 problems [16:37] yes, but neither of you is winning :) [16:37] No :-( [17:12] Join: CoreOld joined #corewars [17:14] hey core [17:17] MSG: Ping timeout: 245 seconds [17:18] Join: evitable joined #corewars [17:40] hey bvowk [17:41] :-) [17:46] Join: Metcalf joined #corewars [18:18] Join: yoR joined #corewars [18:25] Hi yoR [18:25] 7 - 443 = my only new entry [18:26] What do you think is wong with Chrome? [18:27] Bugs :) [18:28] Its pretty beta-beta [18:39] i haven't got to use it much yet [18:39] it won't run on my laptop (win2k) :( [18:39] :-( [19:13] Join: Mixolyde joined #corewars [19:13] Nick Change: Mixolyde changed nick to MixolAtWo [19:13] Nick Change: MixolAtWo changed nick to MixolWork [19:13] Sorry for the name changes. [19:21] Its ok :) [19:30] how's the current state of core wars? [19:32] Don't really know, its alive but a bit slow currently [19:32] (as far as I know) [19:33] Hi [19:33] Bit slow at the moment, except for the beginner's hill [19:33] Though I know there's some interesting stuff in progress [19:34] What's the max program size on the beginner hill? 200 lines? [19:35] 100 [19:39] K. I'm reading through a ton of beginner guides to refresh myself. Haven't written in about a decade [19:43] good to know that beginner is still around [19:45] MSG: Quit: Lost terminal [19:53] It seems like it would be easier to learn by being someone else's intern/research assistant for a while before working on your own stuff [19:54] true [19:59] Hmmm... [19:59] An assistant would be handy [20:06] Like..."I have this idea, see what you can do with it..." [20:07] then review/critique and have them update and retest [20:07] against a bunch of decent benchmarks [20:07] or, at least give some sort of lecture type class on how some of the more advance stuff works [20:08] heh, someone should make a corewars lecture on slides in google Docs or something [20:08] I was thinking more like an admin slave who'd go through 2000+ published warriors and let me know how many use a certain technique :-) [20:09] i dont think my school would appreciate the idea of giving me credits for such lecture [20:09] otherwise id be willing [20:09] You teach? What and where? [20:10] student [20:10] I would have enjoyed my assembly class so much more if we used something like this as part of the curriculum [20:10] ah, gotcha. I got my CISC in '02 [20:11] there is a programming project in the curriculum for those that bother, but im planning different specialization [20:19] Join: fiveop joined #corewars [20:26] MSG: Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com [20:51] MSG: [20:58] my specialization was various networking classes, but i'm a Java developer now [21:06] done for the day, see ya guys [21:10] * Metcalf waves [21:14] MSG: Ping timeout: 245 seconds [21:58] MSG: Quit: humhum [23:58] yay, hill activity? :)
