Hi,
I'm debugging my programm, and at level 69 there is a mistake.
Fortunately your Website provides error-messages, unfortunately I dont understand them:

Code: Select all

illegal pos 16 5 at 21

In the path my prog found there is no illegal position at all. I dont doubt that the path is wrong, but all positions are within the boarder. Could you please explain, what this errormessage means (and maybe the others too?)

EDIT:

Code: Select all

3,2_4,2_0,2_6,2_6,9_1,9_1,8_1,0_1,1_1,5_1,2_7,2_5,2_9,2_9,0_8,0_8,2_8,7_8,4_8,5_0,5_10,5_10,2_2,2_2,3_2,7_9,7_1,7_1,3_1,6_8,6_8,9_0,9_0,4_0,1_9,1_9,6_7,6_7,7_3,7_0,7_10,7_10,9_4,9_4,7_5,7_5,9_5,5_5,1_5,4_1,4_4,4_4,1_4,0_0,0_10,0_3,0_3,9_3,5_4,5_7,5_7,9_9,9_9,4_9,5_9,3_4,3_4,6_3,6_3,1_3,4_3,8_4,8_9,8_10,8_10,4_10,1_7,1_8,1_2,1_2,6_10,6_0,6_5,6_6,6_6,1_6,7_6,4_6,5_2,5_2,9_2,4_2,8_2,0_7,0_7,4_7,3_8,3_0,3_3,3_10,3_5,3_5,0_6,0_6,3_6,8_0,8_5,8_7,8_8,8_8,10_2,10_6,10_4,10_3,10_0,10_1,10_5,10_7,10_10,10_9,10

This is my solution for Level 69. I did it by hand, just following the path my prog found. Your server refused this solution with the errormessage postet above. Whats wrong to this path?

Thanks alot.

The numbers should be in hexadecimal. In this case you have some 10s where you should have As.

Thank you _very_ much!

thanks for helping dk39ab =)

the error messages displayed by the site aren't so great. they're mostly to help me debugging the solution checker in the first place.

As you see, I made it to the top 9 with his hint

The errormessage is not that bad, if you know what is has to mean. I just wondered about the 16, but if you know that the numbers have to be hex its really selfexplaining.

is this about game?

What would this error message signify?

not right dest 3 1, (36, 33)

My solution isn't going from 3,1 to 36,33 so I'm mightily confused.

I'd suggest some trial and error on smaller fields (then you have something to do when you have reached level 1000). I could tell you what my assumption is, but that would spoil the fun of doing it yourself.

I haven't changed my solver since level 242 so it's already done all the smaller fields, or do you mean I should try partitioning the current level? I've set it going again from level 0 and it's solving them all without issue, so I'm even more confused as to what's wrong.

when your solver isn't running, you can always go back and try to do the earlier levels (with the go-to button). Experiment with a lower level puzzle, and you will probably find out the meaning of the numbers.

Maybe you did some things to change the problem while your solver was running, causing the solution to be found to be incorrect. Those earlier puzzles generate their fields every time you change the level ...

Still no idea what I was doing wrong but running my solver on my home PC after having converted it to Python 3.2 it's working fine. Just a few more levels and I can retire it so I doubt I'll go back and figure out what was wrong now.
