CodeWars Reloaded - Round 2

• You have 1 week to start and complete your program.
• Your program must be submitted by 11:59PM GMT on the following Sunday of the competition starting.
• All code has to be 100% yours*, you can not use any APIs or code you did not create. Failing to do so will have you removed from the competition.
• *You are allowed to use example code from the PIL or the Wiki.
• You are allowed to use your own APIs You are no longer allowed to use any APIs other than the default. (You can make APIs during the week and use those, however.)
• You are not allowed to submit programs not made in the 1 week period.
• You are allowed to use any editor, emulator etc.
• Any registered forum user can compete, there is no limit on the number of competitors.
• All programs are to be made completely anonymously, there can be no instance of your username or anything that could be recognised as you (logos etc).
• You do not need to register (it would be nice to let us know by replying here, but it's not necessary), as long as you submit it on time thats all the matters.
• You must submit your code to Pastebin anonymously.

who are these judges you speak of?

also does the code need to be commented?

Mads, on 05 May 2013 - 05:03 AM said:

Do you mean moderators as in the forum moderators, or just some of us who are chosen?
Also, I like this model alot better, as it doesn't require us to actually meet up on a server or something similar.

I only see one problem: how will you know if the program is made in a week?

Engineer, on 05 May 2013 - 05:36 AM said:

How awesome this contest seems, I have my doubts everyone will follow the rules. That is because there is no control on how long somebody can work on a project.
Of course, its up to the contestant if (s)he want to play fair, but still. Some people are going to abuse it, and that is because, once again, there is no real control.

This is me just giving feedback on the contest, not more or less. Since there is no real way to control it, I cant suggest nothing.
Remember: this is just feedback.

BigSHinyToys, on 05 May 2013 - 05:53 AM said:

Sounds interesting. This is a bad week time wise for me but I will see what I can do to get something together.

I would suggest a rule that when uploading to pastebin that it is posted anonymously and not using a user account to keep it anonymous and also stop people altering code after submitting it.

GravityScore, on 05 May 2013 - 06:12 AM said:

Sounds much better oeed!

The only problem I see is that you say people can only use code they made in that week, yet you say people can use their own APIs. Does this mean the APIs must also be coded during that week? And that people can't use their already made GUI APIs or such? I would say people shouldn't use their own pre-made APIs from outside the week, as that adds an unfair advantage to those without GUI APIs that they've made. And if an API isn't reusable from week to week, there's no point in making one.

Yea, I know. In fact I was half way though adding my Drawing API. It's just that most people don't have their own APIs, and this is meant to be a limited time frame program. It's all in the interest of fairness.

In that case you can, it's just that some people (inc. me) have a library of APIs they've made to handle GUI, strings etc. It's basically to filter those out.

Round One

Round One starts at the time of posting (start now) and all programs must be submitted by 11:59PM Sunday, 12th May (GMT).

Your task is to create a utility to send and receive files via rednet between computers (you use the new modem channels or the old methods).

Remember, you can not include your username in anyway and all code has to be 100% your own.

Just a quick thought; this idea was first pitched as a sort of game show, which was kind of a cool idea. You could make use of the youtube channel by having a panel of judges appear on a server at once and commenting on the programs in sequence, perhaps not the source code but certainly the functionality. Then once you've sort of shared your opinions you can combine the scores with those from the poll to cast the winner and do the 'reveal' to indicate who each contestant was and who actually won. Might be a bit showy but that struck me as half the fun of the original…

Yea, I suppose. However, I don't know how entertaining it would be really. If I filmed my self coding it would basically just be me making something, finding and error, half fixing the error then wondering why it's still not fixed.

Same, its hard to code all at once, since a lot of times I sit there and think, coding is the easy part for me, getting the idea is hardest.

Two testing computer will be set up within rednet range of each other. A third computer will be used to relay rednet messages between them, for rednet traffic analysis purposes. Modems will be placed on arbitrary sides, which the contestants will not know beforehand.

A test file containing letters, numbers, line breaks, punctuation, and special characters will be sent from one computer to the other, if possible, following directions provided by the submitter. The file will then be transferred back.


The testing will include a few attempts to break the program. Nothing too crazy, just enough to trip up poorly-designed rednet handling.

Spongy141, on 06 May 2013 - 07:08 PM said:

@oeed
Um… I have to say I hate that idea for judging. I agree with the rednet traffic analysis comp, but ONLY having two comps… base it off of what the program would be most used for, a cloud storage, were you can download a file anytime, and upload at anytime, which would require their being a 'server' comp, which stores all the files. Simply sending a file to an other comp is too easy, making a storage system with rednet, which it still would send a file over rednet, sounds better to me.

As superaxander said, you need to send it strait to me. In terms of being presented, I'm considering 3 things:
- A simple poll (on this topic)
- Something on the website (the website I made for the earlier CodeWars)
- A downloadable program that will run them all for you.

I probably won't do the last, I'll do the second if I can be bothered/have the time, other wise It'll be the first.
That is, unless someone else suggests a better way of course.

Personally, Im asking why. The goal is to make a program, and of course, it could give you bonus points, but I would not say to implement this in the criteria. This is all about making a program that has one functionality, with extras that the user wants to add. That is what makes this contest so free.

750 lines? Mine's only about 250, atm. It's not quite done yet, but still…

if something then
   x = 1
end

If something then x = 1 end

Engineer, on 12 May 2013 - 01:56 PM said:

The thing is you have different form of coding:

if something then
   x = 1
end

If something then x = 1 end

so up to 300 lines wont impress me :P/>
However, the contest is about how functional the program is, not the amount of lines xD

So, even though Sunday was yesterday, we can still hand it in by the 19th (this Sunday).

That would be good. Although, that means I'm going to have to make it better and everyone is probably going to have something better than mine, based on what I've seen.

Yes, considering that many people have most of their free time during the weekends.

Also, I just thought of an idea, what if the judges judged while the next competition was going on? So like as soon as the Rednet file sender competition is done (In two hours I think), you post a new topic and start judging while people are doing that topic, and once that was is done, you post a new one and judge the second topic, etc.

The problem with that is, first of all the mod don't want multiple topics for one thing. Second of all, because we start judging on Monday it just reduces the time people can spend on it during weekends etc.

The next round will begin this Friday.

I was trying with CCDesk. I used computer with IDs higher than 200 and rednet didn't seem to work. When I switched to low IDs such as 5 or 6 some did work. Not sure why this is.

So I tested them all, I am not a judger so I do now go after the criteria.

1 confusing, modem placement is bad. the system could use a "tutorial"
2 bad UI, but works.
3 nice UI, but weird controls.
4 errors, non working.
5 errors server side, too many channels.
6 very nice UI, but not functional.
7 very nice UI, but not functional.
8 no visible UI, and not functional.
9 quickTils API not found, not functional.
10 very nice UI, functional and effective. confusing at first, could help with a tutorial or similar.

* green ones sends/receives files without corruption.
* red ones can't send/receive or is too complicated to be used.
(by too complicated; I mean that for someone that dosen't know how to use it, it will be pointless)

I tested them on the CC emulator by tomass1996 running CraftOS 1.5.
I think if the coders got more time and not the pressure they could finish these programs and publish them for private/public use.
Tho I am surprised of the small progress people have made, I guess their private time is very limited.

As long as your program is working in a proper way, and as best it can run without someone giving
instructions before hand, then I'd say the program is good and needs a place at the top 3 rank.

Of course this is only my opinion, the real judges will perhaps give out totally different scores.
After all, they're going after a criteria list.

As one of the people competing, I really did not think that this would have to be said.

But this was not a competition to see who could make a working program in CCEmu or CCDesk. Both of these are great emulators, and I have a lot of respect for their creators, but the fact of the matter is that neither one of them is ComputerCraft. My program, for instance, works perfectly in MineCraft, but won't even run in an emulator. This is because I did not test it in an emulator, I tested it in MineCraft. Because—as I said—the competition was not to make a working CCEmu program. The competition was to make a working ComputerCraft program. I would never have submitted a program that was incapable of even running.

You know, presidential candidates are able to vote for themselves. If someone did not believe that they were worthy of winning, then why would they be running? I don't think anyone has an issue with the competitors voting for themselves, as long as they're honest about whether they deserve the vote or not.

[…] And for the competitors, don't vote for your self, don't be an idiot.

You know, presidential candidates are able to vote for themselves. If someone did not believe that they were worthy of winning, then why would they be running? I don't think anyone has an issue with the competitors voting for themselves, as long as they're honest about whether they deserve the vote or not.

I personally did not vote, since I think competitors should not vote… it just raises the chance of cheating…

[…] This aside – all the functioning projects all fell into several file-based traps - and I wasn't the only to notice as far as I know. If oeed releases comments or something, we can probably actually release some real feedback and "commonly well and not-well done things". I'm not sure what the plan is regarding that - or even if there is one.

Some programs are missing parts, which I'm fairly certain is mere user-error (for example, missing API's or files). If you're one of these people, you should contact oeed and submit the missing parts so we can give you a fair, balanced mark, as soon as possible. It is a shame to be unable to mark some of these programs - which look intact code-wise, but don't run due to these issues. (This isn't an open-plate for you to change programs, though.) […]

Thank you. They have been disqualified.

On this, even if you don't use your current username you are still hinting who made it. One of the most important rules required all program to be anonymous.

But then why'd he say "no" when I asked that "If someone bombed the poll but did good in judging would they still have a chance of winning"? Or was he responding to what I thought were the ratios?

oeed, on 16 May 2013 - 06:16 PM said:

Yea, to be honest there isn't really any exact ratio. Today I'll collate all the judging and poll results to give us first, second and possibly a third place. It's basically based on the general gist of what people are saying. This may change later of course, but this challenge has a few rather clear winners.

So is it going to be fully based off the poll or the judges decision?

A number of people have messaged me, and here, commenting on how simple it is. But similar to the last challenge the possibilities are huge. The one requirement is that it opens a door. You don't need a password or a GUI etc. But, you can.

Would it also be possible to let it open other things than a door? Because that's part of my plan for it.

When required, if it is part of your solution, then I don't see why there wouldn't be any problems with that… Especially since they are both part of the same submission. The problem would arise when you make two individual submissions of two different programs.

Yea, forgot about that, I'll try to do it today. I've had a case of to much stuff to do, too little time over the past two weeks. My emulator decided to kill it self half way through the competition when I installed JDK. (Dam you Apple and you stupid relationship with Java)
After that I sort of forgot about it, I started learning Minecraft moding and had school stuff. (My entry was number 6, if you hadn't picked it up).

Anyway, I'll try to today;

I would love to compete in round 2 but I lack encryption skills which would surely render any door lock made by me useless. If It didn't require any encryption I would definitely be able to make a door lock program.

You don't need encryption. The only thing the door lock must be able to do is opening doors. All other features are optional and not required.

I do not think I'll have my new system ready in time for next week- it's going to require play-testing and balancing to get right and I haven't had enough time to implement the core. I expect however in a fortnight it'll be polished and awesome, and a really excellent challenge fair game for the most basic and the most experienced coders alike.

The main reason it's taking so long is because in addition to the actual API's and the simulation itself, it also requires a special testing and debugging environment as well, so I'm working on those. Will post more detailed information when it's ready.

Should be a fun new twist to Code Wars!
