My approach was accidentally fast -- due to a bug in my code during my first pass I only considered the first 30ish hex digits. That turned up a string "the answer tod". I tried "tod" and it didn't work, then I noticed the bug in my code and fixed it. Then I realized I'd found th...

I've noticed that if you return an object with a 0 command type it sets the radio without stopping the bot.

It also keeps the radio up.

(level 1000 took segfault 10 seconds or so.) Actually, it took the solver only 0.3313 seconds, although there was at least one level that took over 20. Unlike runaway I'm absolutely certain that this problem is (in general) NP-hard. However, I suspect the expected running time of my solver against ...

[quote="gorzak"] Then I remembered that one of the example bots uses the static modifier. I double checked, and sure enough it has : public static final int CITY = 0; public static final int GRUNT = 1; public static final int HOVERCRAFT = 2; public static final int ARTIL = 3; These are con...

Good question.

It's java bytecode instructions; each time an instruction executes the count goes up by one. You can use javap to disassemble your bytecode to see exactly what the instructions are. A line of code might be several instructions-- 500 doesn't actually correspond to /that/ much executed code, particula...

The simulator isn't working with this: ojvm.data.MethodNotFoundE: Method (DDDDZIIDDDD[D[D[I[I[I[[I)Ljava/lang/Object; think not found

"Native" works fine, though.

Is it possible for a unit to radio without stopping?

Or, more generally, how does radio work? Ie, what does a bot need to do to have its radio array show up in someone else's incomingRadio? For how long does it show up?

The following code produces an exception: import java.util.Random; public class wtfbot { public int orderType = 1; // always a move order public double destX, destY; // the move order will use these fields to communicate a destination public int[] radio = new int[4]; public Object think(double dx, d...

Okay, this is probably a really stupid question, but when I make the BAT file and run it, it instantly closes when I open it, I've been playing around in C++ too and when I make those little beginner programs it does the same thing, just closes as fast as it opens. Any idea on how to make it stay? ...

You probably want to get "Visual Studio Express", which is a free version of visual studio targeted at the sort of person who would ask that question.

It also supports C# and C++.

do tou know how to make harddisk as RAM or VGA RAM?

This happens automatically in most operating systems, that's called a "swap file".

Usually you won't swap out video memory, though.

Nitpick: algorithms aren't NP. Languages/problems are NP. NP does not mean "non polynomial".

the command which i am using is "execl("file name","argument 1","argument 2","argument 3");", it's an 'c' command to run the child process...............[/b] You have the syntax slightly wrong; this may be your problem. It's actually execl("fil...

than can you tell us a good and free password crackrer programme :D 8) Unless you get a copy of the password hash any such program will need to attempt online. That's going to take prohibitively long for any but the weakest of passwords. Many servers rate limit connection attempts nowadays, too. Al...
