It is harder to debug them then and in some cases the ants don't take the shortest route to attack each others base so the desired effect of centering on the action is void. 2010-12-22T00:52:24 *** Palmik has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T00:57:01 Frontier: agreed, i do like your idea of a shaded edge though 2010-12-22T00:57:06 showing the other side of the wrappings 2010-12-22T00:57:41 the only issue is screen size/map size 2010-12-22T00:59:37 *** Palmik has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) 2010-12-22T01:01:17 maybe if i only add half a square on each side we get the benefit without the size problems 2010-12-22T01:08:51 *** yasith has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T01:17:35 a whole square is probably fine :P 2010-12-22T01:17:43 i was thinking more like a border of 4 each side 2010-12-22T02:12:33 *** yasith has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) 2010-12-22T02:14:19 * antimatroid1 thinks doing a tron variant would be silly 2010-12-22T02:14:42 i think we need a site for non-contest games 2010-12-22T02:23:51 *** yasith has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T02:30:23 *** jaspervdj has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T02:32:10 *** antimatroid1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) 2010-12-22T02:32:29 *** antimatroid has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T02:36:41 *** narnach has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T02:38:59 *** antimatroid1 has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T02:39:00 *** antimatroid has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 2010-12-22T03:19:24 *** sigh has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) 2010-12-22T03:32:34 *** mega1 has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T04:15:00 *** Naktibalda has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T04:19:40 *** sigh has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T05:01:41 *** Epona has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T05:03:30 hey 2010-12-22T05:04:38 *** Mathnerd314 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) 2010-12-22T05:04:57 hello 2010-12-22T05:06:17 whatsup? 2010-12-22T05:07:05 nothing much... trying to motivate myself to clean my room 2010-12-22T05:07:09 so much junk o_O 2010-12-22T05:07:13 lol 2010-12-22T05:07:16 I never clean my room 2010-12-22T05:07:58 idk how ill ever get gifts for my mom and sis 2010-12-22T05:08:09 poor level = over 9000 2010-12-22T05:08:14 :P 2010-12-22T05:08:42 wanna see my idea for a GUI? 2010-12-22T05:08:51 sure? 2010-12-22T05:09:25 http://imgur.com/ZlFZ6 2010-12-22T05:09:30 hopefully it looks something like this 2010-12-22T05:09:33 *** delt0r_ has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 2010-12-22T05:10:45 ah cool... so like a equation solving app? 2010-12-22T05:11:31 yea, with threading and as much equations as you want 2010-12-22T05:11:31 *** delt0r_ has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T05:12:56 itll prolly be forever before I make it 2010-12-22T05:12:57 what's the arrow going from the small box to the big box mean? 2010-12-22T05:13:09 kind of like 2010-12-22T05:13:14 whatever the output is 2010-12-22T05:13:26 is what a variable of the summation equation will be 2010-12-22T05:13:44 ah, i see what you mean 2010-12-22T05:14:02 I suggest starting with something simpler, like one input box and one output 2010-12-22T05:14:35 as soon as I master objects ill move onto the Tkinter stuff 2010-12-22T05:14:51 its really cool that theyve added new stuf to python 3.1.3 2010-12-22T05:15:06 cool, the graphics side of it should not be too hard 2010-12-22T05:18:21 hmm 2010-12-22T05:32:21 what stuff are you working on? 2010-12-22T05:34:27 me? nothing much at the moment 2010-12-22T05:36:37 *** boegel has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T05:37:53 sounds nice 2010-12-22T06:36:51 milo is the best 2010-12-22T06:37:04 milo? 2010-12-22T06:37:32 :O 2010-12-22T06:37:37 your life has been a lie 2010-12-22T06:37:45 I laready knew this 2010-12-22T06:37:49 already* 2010-12-22T06:38:08 links? 2010-12-22T06:38:14 http://aussiefavourites.com.au/cornershop/images/nes_milo450.jpg 2010-12-22T06:38:26 "made from malted barley" 2010-12-22T06:38:33 o.o 2010-12-22T06:41:45 btw 2010-12-22T06:41:55 I have an awesome idea for a GUI 2010-12-22T06:42:45 idk if you saw it or not 2010-12-22T06:46:53 i did, didn't really get it? 2010-12-22T06:47:52 o 2010-12-22T06:48:18 Idk.

2010-12-22T07:32:34 http://imgur.com/UUgkt 2010-12-22T07:35:59 Not sure what it does that something like just using R or something doesn't do? 2010-12-22T07:36:31 R? 2010-12-22T07:38:55 stats packag 2010-12-22T07:39:37 looks promisinh 2010-12-22T07:40:08 i don't like matlab 2010-12-22T07:40:18 it's like doing all the programming without doing any of the thinking 2010-12-22T07:41:00 programming in matlab sucks 2010-12-22T07:41:14 sooo. its not that well written 2010-12-22T07:41:18 but it is pretty awesome for dealing with anything that involves matricies 2010-12-22T07:41:38 matrices are easy to deal with 2010-12-22T07:41:45 solving odes etc. and i would probably use it 2010-12-22T07:42:11 i got bored earlier in the year and wrote up gauss siedel in c++, they're usually fairly straight forward 2010-12-22T07:42:37 <3 wolfram alpha for my calculus of variations assignments, i hate solving messy des 2010-12-22T07:42:58 walfram alpha is <3 2010-12-22T07:43:08 thats what inspired me a lot 2010-12-22T07:43:30 my opinion is entirely based off the internets opinion, but wolfram seems like a real dick 2010-12-22T07:43:33 try mathematica.. 2010-12-22T07:43:44 its good 2010-12-22T07:43:44 ^^ same person 2010-12-22T07:43:54 R is free 2010-12-22T07:44:09 yeah, i've never really used R 2010-12-22T07:44:13 i use GAUSS for work 2010-12-22T07:44:35 although mostly just playing around with programs the person i ra for has 2010-12-22T07:44:40 but a gui just can't easily capture the complexites of real work... there is a reason why RAD gui tools are not even popular for RAD devlopment 2010-12-22T07:44:50 i think she might let me just do stuff for her in c++ now though 2010-12-22T07:45:14 GAUSS is for proofs and stuff IIRC ie combinatorial work yea? 2010-12-22T07:45:23 she does stats stuff with it 2010-12-22T07:45:36 she works with fairly large data sets doing macroeconomics 2010-12-22T07:45:56 good for working with matrices 2010-12-22T07:46:06 but it isn't as flexible as c++ 2010-12-22T07:46:14 hmm... haven't heard of GAUSS before 2010-12-22T07:46:23 doesn't the guy have enough things named after him without having a software package too? 2010-12-22T07:46:44 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAUSS_(software) 2010-12-22T07:46:55 there will never be enough things named after gauss or euler 2010-12-22T07:47:05 those men are true giants

to solve something rather than why those steps solve it 2010-12-22T07:55:22 it's magic! 2010-12-22T07:55:46 the best kind of magic is that where its still awesome once explained 2010-12-22T07:55:51

(Ping timeout: 250 seconds) 2010-12-22T21:24:12 dmj111: haven't worked out the issue, but yes i'm on windows 2010-12-22T21:24:19 but ideally it should work on any system 2010-12-22T21:27:05 *** Utkarsh has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T21:45:24 if you have "\n"s without \r's in a string, many windows programs don't show the new line at all. not sure if that is what you are seeing. ( and yes, ideally it should work anywhere :) ) 2010-12-22T21:49:42 i see the new lines when outputting, but maybe the process isn't collecting them right 2010-12-22T21:49:47 i'll play around later, cheers 2010-12-22T21:53:27 ok. have fun. if you have the code posted anywhere already, let me know and I will take a look. 2010-12-22T21:58:28 *** bhasker has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T22:12:34 *** yasith has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) 2010-12-22T22:18:37 dmj111: no current version is posted anywhere, i'm busy atm but i'll play around later and put a copy up for people 2010-12-22T22:18:55 *** CyndreBot_ has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T22:25:14 *** yasith has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T22:33:16 *** Azrathud has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) 2010-12-22T22:35:43 *** Migi32 has quit IRC (Quit: BOINC) 2010-12-22T23:04:36 *** amstan has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) 2010-12-22T23:08:10 *** amriedle has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T23:12:13 *** sigh has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) 2010-12-22T23:28:30 *** Utkarsh has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) 2010-12-22T23:37:06 *** Utkarsh has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T23:45:08 *** amstan has joined #aichallenge 2010-12-22T23:45:08 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o amstan 2010-12-22T23:57:05 *** fmeyer has joined #aichallenge
