scribd / robot-fruit-hunt Goto Github PK

I emailed about this earlier, and Jenny said she's working on it. I guess I'll make an issue here to track it. How's it coming?

Hello! I was hacking on fruit robot (which is such a fun challenge, by the way!), and noticed a few errors in the console. One of them is outdated jquery, which seems like it might be a bit of an unnecessary pain to fix (though could certainly be done -- I can work on it if you'd like), and the other was unspecified charset, which is super easy to fix. Submitting PR, but thought I'd file an issue first for good practice.

I've documented this on stack overflow:

Essentially, get_my_x and get_my_y can be used to generate the same x,y pair for two different tiles.

var board = get_board();
var lat = get_my_x();
var longt = get_my_y();
trace("("+ lat + "," + longt + ")")

results in:

Also, [email protected] kicks back emails:

We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (botrace) may not exist, 
 or you may not have permission to post    messages to the group. A few more details on why you weren't able to post:
 * You might have spelled or formatted the group name incorrectly.
 * The owner of the group may have removed this group.
 * You may need to join the group before receiving permission to post.
 * This group may not be open to posting.

Since there isn't an issue tracker for the website itself, I figured I would post this here.

Trying to upload a bot over an existing one gives a 500 internal server error. Not very nice :(

Shouldn't it point to http://coding.scribd.com/2012/05/24/compete-against-our-developers/ ?

I think there is a bug with get_my_item_count() and get_opponent_item_count().
These two functions don't return decimal.
When players have 0.5, they return 0.
This works locally though so this is not related to this repo but I didn't know where to contact you.

Example of failed match : http://www.scribd.com/job_game/match/295703
This line for example 1 / 1 / 0 / 0 / 1

• first number is the fruit type
• second number is the total fruits
• third number is my fruits
• fourth number is opponent fruit
• fifth number is irrelevant

(You'll never see 0.5 in the third or fourth number..)

I want to run 2 bots on same testing framework. Is it possible or a simple way to do it?
