Re: Guess the code!
mmm, it's a kind of IQ test that checks if user understand color abbreviation ?

Nope! Guess again! Here's a hint: On-brick proof-of-concept for a l****ing ***** ******

Re: Guess the code!
It looks like some sort of game where the user has to guess what color goes in which bin. (Kind of like mastermind perhaps?)

Close, but not quite!

Does anyone want another hint?

Re: Guess the code!
Hi NextGen, While all our friends go nuts trying to guess what's the ultimate purpose of your code (I'd bet on 42), it's my turn to launch a game . The challenge is : Can you optimize you code to be smaller and faster with exactly the same inputs and outputs? Miki.
PS: this message will not self-destruct in 15 seconds. ... I hope.

Well, sure, I probably could. But, I don't really have time because BrickWorld Chicago is less than two months away. They're having several competitions, and I needz to buildz ROBOTZ!!!!
P.S. Just wondering..... Has anybody actually tried running this code?

Me at least. I have a lot of time since my main computer is still out of order

Re: Guess the code!
Ok, your mission: Figure out what this code does by the time the weekend ends, that is Monday, or else I'm just going to tell you. And that wouldn't be any fun.

Re: Guess the code!
I'm warning you: If nobody has guessed correctly by 5:00PM, US Central Time, Monday, I will post a solution video.

My guess...
Am I right?
//Andrew
Annnd...... That is correct!!!!! Here's your prize!!! *hands over 1,000,000 symbolic internetz points* Thank you, and come again to play *fictional audience shouting* "Guess.... That..... Code!!!".
For those of you who don't know, here's some commented code explaining how it works. Each comment will be explaining the line(s) of code it's on, and all those above it until the next comment:
for(int i = 0; i <= 5; i++) { BrickInfo[i].ColorDefined = false; BrickInfo[i].WhereDoesColorBelong = 0;
for(int x = 0; x <= 5; x++) { BrickInfo[i].DoesColorBelong[x] = "unknown"; } }
nxtDisplayTextLine(0, "Bk Bl Gr Yl Rd Wt"); nxtDisplayCenteredTextLine(1, "1 2 3 4 5 6");//Initialization procedure. Structure, and structure array created. All elements of array initialized.
while(true) { int RandomLoc = random[5]; int BrickColor = random[5];//I don't think I need to explain these.
if(BrickInfo[BrickColor].ColorDefined == true) { LookupColorText(BrickColor + 1, BrickInfo[BrickColor].WhereDoesColorBelong); wait1Msec(1000); }//Checks if the color is known. If it is, then go directly to the known location. If not, then engage learning procedure (below). else { bool FoundUnkownLoc = false;
while(FoundUnkownLoc == false) { if(BrickInfo[BrickColor].DoesColorBelong[RandomLoc] == "unknown") { FoundUnkownLoc = true; } else { RandomLoc = random[5]; } }//This loop applies a random number to put the brick in. But, we don't want it trying spaces that have already proven to be false. So, it keeps trying random numbers until it finds an unknown space. LookupColorText(BrickColor + 1, RandomLoc + 1);//Displays the brick color and randomly chosen location.
for(int y = 0; y <= 5; y++) { if(BrickInfo[y].DoesColorBelong[RandomLoc] == "unknown") { BrickInfo[y].DoesColorBelong[RandomLoc] = "no"; } } }//If you press yes, then it sets ColorDefined to true, the location of the color to the randomly chosen location, that you confirmed, and that same slot in all the other color arrays to "no". else { while(nNxtButtonPressed != kNoButton);
BrickInfo[BrickColor].DoesColorBelong[RandomLoc] = "no"; }//If you said no, then it simply sets that slot to "no". } } }
void LookupColorText(int Color, int BrickLoc) { string ColorText;
switch (Color) { case 1: ColorText = "Black"; break; case 2: ColorText = "Blue"; break; case 3: ColorText = "Green"; break; case 4: ColorText = "Yellow"; break; case 5: ColorText = "Red"; break; case 6: ColorText = "White"; break; }
nxtDisplayCenteredTextLine(3, ColorText + " goes in"); nxtDisplayCenteredTextLine(4, "bin: " + BrickLoc); nxtDisplayCenteredTextLine(7, "Yes No"); }//This function simply takes two variables, the brick color and the location, and displays them with the proper additions.
P.S. Here's the demo video anyway.
Sorry if I rambled. I was a bit tired when I took this.

Cool stuff again, as usual. When will the .LDD file be up ?

Umm, I think your joking, right? This was just running on the virtual emulator. It was just the code, with no physical interface.
P.S. Thanks!
