Beginners Brevity Contest: BUZZ

Seriously? I honestly believe you're better than most of my fellow undergraduates in my University.

Yup, seriously (but I'm getting ~1/31557600th closer to 15 every second)

Nice one Corsix, congrats.
Here's my 105 token one. No string trickery, might try some of that next time

[syntax="cpp"]
#include "sstream"

using namespace std;

struct c2_0 : player
{
string init(int player_position, int num_of_players)
{
distanceToCurrent = --player_position;
playerCount = num_of_players;
currentNumber = 0;

return "c2_0";
}

string respond(string last_response)
{
stringstream ss;
ss << ++currentNumber;
ss >> last_response;

if(currentNumber % 7 * currentNumber % 11 * last_response.find_first_of("7") < 0x7fffffff)
distanceToCurrent *= 0xffffffff, last_response = "buzz";

return distanceToCurrent-- % playerCount ? "" : last_response;
}

int playerCount, distanceToCurrent, currentNumber;
};

....I don't know how you do it. Whoa I'm also getting ~1/31557600th closer to my birthday every second (I'm 15). Crazy stuff

Code: Select all

left *= "\1\377"[last_response=="buzz"]

Clever! I would never had thought of that!

Wenn Engel hassen
stürzen sie wie Steine aus dem Himmelszelt;
wenn Engel hassen
fliegen sie als dunkle Vögel in die Welt;
wenn Engel hassen
landen sie als schwarzer Schatten der uns quält
und nehmen Rache
an den Menschen, die gefallen sind wie sie.

My german suck.
When angles *something* *something* stones on heaven (?) ... (havn't read german in 3 years).

Btw, you said your starting reading informatik soon, then your probably as old as me (18?) (I just started reading and going to read _alot_ math (basically every math course that hasn't anything to do with becoming a math teacher or economics, or maybe some math courses that has to do with modelling + economics) and physics. Homer: Theory of Integration and Modelling with neural nets, grrrrrr ahhhhhh, sounds juicy )



btw, where's dantes and exomos? I downloaded the zip-file again and it wasn't there

It is something like "When angels hate, they fall like stones [out of] heaven"

Correct, I start 18th this month. I'm 20. "Abitur" at age of 19 and 1 year civil service (is this a good word?). For the start we have "simple" courses like "basics of informatik" and linear algebra and analysis. And there will be a contest on peer-to-peer-systems, perhaps I will ask you guys for help^^, but I hope it's not too hard right at the beginning

I'm sure nobody wants to see my entry, it's the "straight forward" one, but here it is anyway: (it has 2 tokens less than the one I sent in)
[syntax="cpp"]
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

class exomo_player : public player
{
int counter, direction, player_turn, pos, num;

string init(int player_position, int num_of_players)
{
pos = player_position-1;
num = num_of_players;
counter = 0;
player_turn = direction = -1;
return "Exomo";
}

string respond(string last_response)
{
player_turn = (player_turn - direction + num) % num;
stringstream bla;
bla << ++counter;
if ( !(counter%7 && counter%11) || bla.str().find('7') + 1)
direction = -direction, bla.str("buzz");
return player_turn == pos ? bla.str() : "";
}
};
[/syntax]

[syntax="cpp"]return left = player_position, num = num_of_players, "Safari";[/syntax]
Exactly what happens here? Exactly why doesn't it return left and num too? Or are they returned (but what happens then to them? Are they placed in the heap?)? So many questions

When you use the comma operator, only the last element will be used for operations:

Code: Select all

int i = 0;
std::cout << ((i+=1), i); //Didn't test, but should output 1

Nothing special in mine.

Code: Select all

#include "sstream"
using namespace std;

struct dante : player
{
  int round, pos, playerCount, turn, direction;

  string init(int player_position, int num_of_players)
  {
    round = turn = 0;
    direction    = 1;
    pos          = player_position ;
    playerCount  = num_of_players;
    return "Dante" ;
  }
 
  string respond(string ret)
  {
    stringstream ss;
    ss << ++round ;
    ss >> ret ;

    turn = ((turn += direction) %= playerCount) ? turn : playerCount ;

    if (round%7 && round%11 && ret.find('7')==UINT_MAX)
      ;
    else
      direction =- direction,
      ret = "buzz";

    return turn==pos?ret:"";
  }       

};

Yes, if you private message me a e-mail address. I will send you the zip file.
