Its that time again :grin:

Awesome, Looking forward to seeing what you have :yum:

Depending on the problem
Im really in the mood for a decent Genetic AI,

But who knows these things ahead of time.
Looking forward to an epic year. :partying_face:

Welcome back Willie. It will be very interesting to see a genetic algorithm thrown at this year’s problem space. Good luck for the challenge.

Hi,

So, I kind of went overboard this weekend,
I managed to implement a very nice Genetic AI,
I added a very interesting touch to it,

It didnt work most of the weekend but I finally got the logical issues out,

Its by no means perfect,

The system works amazing as far as I could see, Zero bugs so far, and I have run some matches,

This year I will open a topic where I can just track my own suggestions, thoughts,
As well as any bugs I come across,

From what is implemented now,
I feel everything looks polished,

I had some issues with Husky initially, Reinstalled, and then it just started working somewhere,
Maybe because I made sure docker was open.

Thanks for another great competition,
And Im going to use it to learn some new concepts.

I tried and failed at Genetic implementations a few times already.
So having a working one is refreshing.

Anyways, Im pretty happy,

Hi,

Is there a challenge this year?

I did see some changes on the main site, The system would definately support multiple events, but it doesnt feel like the Challenge is a feature,

I will still keep an eye on here :innocent:

I know these things generally have a hierarchy to them, Could be a chaotic season, Entelect breaks for a year,
Comes back tomorrow,
Could be a surprize that drops in a moment,

Could also be that the season has passed,

In that case its up to us to carry the torch forward :thinking:

Mere speculation, if something is important enough it will find life.
Worst case, i will be hitting the leaderboards on CodinGame,

Anyways, Hope the team and other contestants are doing well, And maybe I see you all at Comic Con again… :phoenix:

Seems like the challenge is going to be a lot smaller this year…if at all

I think its a great idea. The main challenge was very intimidating to start. I had to force myself to try and make a submission, after i saw i could get a good score thats where the motivation started. I guess this will attract even more people.

Perhaps a little Different,
One of the parts of The Challenge that keeps me coming back is the depth,

No matter how far you push, someone else is always ready to push back.

I would say that the Challenge has really helped me break the chains that held me on many times,

I remember winning in 2019, Such a needed victory,
I walked to the bus at midnight before the Competition, Walked from the bus dropoff to the venue,
Won, Such a large impact, Walked back to the bus, Got fetched at midnight at the bus, could arrange a lift…

It was some day,

I think Hackathons are amazing,
But they are like that date,

What the Challenge itself was to me was something with a lot of substance.
If anyone is interested,
Im going to write some stuff for:

Think im currently ranked like 6700 but I havent tiouched that system in 9 years. So curious to see where I can go.

Will also keep an eye on the hackathons.
