that indenting is screwy, use code

and....it'd help if you also typed out the error message

pypy is like an implementation of python but faster. there's a complicated explanation but all you need to know is that it's faster for most things

so i've got this idea and if atomic or someone thinks its promising i'll code it

basically you have two 'swarms' of instances which 'battle' with each other until one side wins

each instance, or bot, in the swarm has
memory
processing power
scanners
energy
communications
energy transfer
energy weapons

each player will give a set of instructions (code) to the bots to do stuff like accelerate in a direction, transfer energy, communicate information, compute, scan for enemies, store information, etc. of course, there are several limitations that the player must follow

each bot will have an attribute memory, which is a list. so for example, in your code, you can't say "v = 40", instead, you have to store it as bot.memory[0] = 40. if the memory exceeds the requirements, it'll be overwritten/wiped.

another restriction is processing power. i haven't figured out how to regulate this yet, but basically each bot has a limited amount of power so it can't run expensive algorithms and shit.

there are also communications, for sending from 1-10kb of information. very helpful if you can't process the data fast enough, you can have a bot scan and send the information to other bots for processing.

the rest of the things are pretty much self explanatory. you use energy to attack, accelerate, maybe some other things. there's also damage, which goes from 0 to 1 and at 1 the bot is destroyed. ability of the bot to function is determined by (1-d)^0.2 where d is damage.

to add more interesting things, i thought bots might be able to specialize. for example, there could be group of computation bots and a group of scanning bots which work together better than bots which do both scanning and computations. so you can allocate the abilities of each bot towards a particular function.

distance affects communications, energy transfer, and weapon damage

so, basically, competitors of players will create a short bit of code (probably limited to 100 or 200 lines) in order to compete with the enemy swarm. they'll be given a list of functions to use like scan(), accelerate(direction), senddata(id), and etc to use.

this sounds like it'd be a good flash game thing

idk how you're planning to do it but if it was like programming 10 python things at once that sounds like it could be overwhelming

short script, the hardest part was getting the memory to clear itself, which i solved by defining the thingy as a function

basically you download a few of these files from http://nsarchive.net/, don't unzip them.
then put the processor in the same directory as the files and run. it should take a bit over a minute per file and happily eat 2gbs of ram. when it's done you'll have several 100 MB files sitting in your folder that contains the attributes of every single nation in ns for that time period

so i can load each file and say

Code: [Select]
mainstats = []
for nation in thingy:
    mainstats.append(sum(nation.freedomscores))
count = 0
for 300 in mainstats:
    count += 1
print count
to find out how many nations have 100 civil rights, 100 economy, and 100 political freedom. no screwing around with xml files, parsing, and stuff because i've already done that

well it stores the social equality budget for government. but no, it doesn't have the 69 census measures, you can only get those by the api and they're not archived. actually the daily dumps aren't archived by default either, this is just a player-made database

model for ubv where ubv.py and engine.py are run simultaneously off two command prompts

simultaneously:
ubv.py reads in text from next.txt and sends it to the channel
ubv.py reads in text from freenode and writes it in rec.txt

and

engine.py reads in text from rec.txt as a list, processes the first element, and deleted it
engine.py takes the result of the processing and writes it back into next.txt

this way, even if processing takes a minute or two, ubv.py will continue pinging and just check next.txt to see if engine.py and come up with an answer. it also neatly encapsulates the processing into a single function

code to convert irc logs into an visualization. the only parts thats uncompleted is the part where i load in the data. that'll have to wait until i complete the code from two post above about merging the logs

this takes a graphml file and moves the distant points closer to the center.

it's quite impressive what can be done in 12 lines

Code: [Select]
import networkx as nx, random
N = nx.read_graphml('zdaybmig.graphml')
xoff, yoff = 1000.0, 500.0
rparam, maxdist2 = 3.0,16000.0**2
K = N.nodes()
for x in xrange(0,len(K)):
    n = N.node[K[x]]
    while float(n['x']+xoff)**2+float(n['y']+yoff)**2 > maxdist2:
        j = random.random()*(rparam-1)+1
        n['x'] /= j
        n['y'] /= j
nx.write_graphml(N,'zdaymig.graphml')

I ran the
matplotlib-1.3.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
I also tried downloading the .rar and running setup.py inside it, still not working. I don't really have patience to read and follow long texts on several different ways to install it and remove it where most of them probably won't work.

If the binary file is the .dmg file, no, Idk how to use that.

i don't know how familiar you are with setup.py, but you ran it with a command like
python setup.py install
?

also i too have problems installing with modules and sometimes it works when i install it in /Lib instead of /Lib/site-packages. maybe you can copy/paste the thingies and try again

if you have pip or easy_install installed, you might try something like
easy_install matplotlib
(on command line)

i've got an interesting problem i thought we could have an impromptu coding contest on. java, python, or whatever language. (too bad there's no general coding topic.)

anyways it was inspired by darvince:
<Darvince>tell him the amount of correct numbers he got
<Darvince>don't tell him in what order though

basically, a number will be generated, and the algorithm must guess the number. the test() function will return True if the correct answer is guessed and an integer containing the number of digits correct will be returned if it was the wrong number.

some numbers will be of specified lengths and some others will have unspecified lengths (<1000).

fastest algorithm wins

if anyone's interested, post so that i know i'm not the only person working on this
