most importantly, i have barely spent time with pandas so i imagine my opinion will change 10 times by the time im done with this project (until xmas)

Assuming random placement, there are unwinnable games. Consider a game with metal-lead-metal placed in a line; you can't remove either of the metals on the ends without first removing lead, but you can't get free space for the lead with both the metals there.

If the game has smarter-than-random placement rules to try to avoid this situation, then at the very least they're buggy; I've had a game generated where no first move was possible.

i haven't ever seen one with no first move (theres always at least salt+element) so i assumed the placing was very clever

i think it's possible to make placement rules where every game is winnable, but i think the actual game just happens to be fairly easy but not actually guaranteed-winnable. the lack of undo kind of hides this; it's very good at making you feel like if you lose a game it's probably your fault

trying out .net core this weekend

so i guess you just use VS Code to make these C# .net core projects? but the ide cant make the csproj file used to compile a bunch of .cs files. so you have to make and edit the csproj manually. or use an ide extension with a few thousand downloads that will add a context menu option to add/remove files to the csproj.

so i did that. and it works. not too bad i guess.

now i have a simple command line program that successfully opens a database connection. :slick:

and it works on both windows and linux. i might replace a lot of my python scripts with C# now...

for some reason my executable is actually a dll though (lol?)

also the linux build produces .dll files too :wtf:

you�re meant to use the cli to do stuff like project creation. �dotnet new -t console� should make a reasonable csproj

once you�ve built your thing, �dotnet publish� will create a distributable version which you run with just �dotnet <name of dll>�. it�s like java basically

theyre dlls because they're not run directly like a real binary, they're loaded by dotnet core.

whats a good pattern to teach somewhat new programmer (some r scripting experience, extremely good with sql) for multi-case error handling in python

e.g. what ive shown him now, for intuition's sake, is

Python code:

def findthings(foo):
    foo = None
    found = False
    if isinstance(foo, list):
       baz = foo[0]
       found = True
    elif isinstance(foo, dict):
       baz = foo
       found = True
    else:
       pass
    return baz if found else None

which is a trainwreck and absolute code gore in terms of code quality, refactoring, etcetera, but he has grasped this reasonably well so i dont try to overcomplicate things for his first time seeing python

normally, what i would do in that example

Python code:

def findthings(foo):
    # + optional assertions that baz confirms my expectations
    if isinstance(foo, list):
       baz = foo[0]
    elif isinstance(foo, dict):
       baz = foo
    return baz if "baz" in locals() else None

but there likely is something smarter people than me have figured out to optimally handle this

but there likely is something smarter people than me have figured out to optimally handle this

actual python standard is to ask forgiveness not permission
aka, use try catch
you may find this idiotic. in which case, should prolly use the type annotation instead of isinstance too much, make something like Findable which can be list or dict

why this is less idiotic than one may imagine at first glance:
1. you may stomp on the thing in threading so you'd have to handle error anyways
2. exception handling tends to be more durable. classic example is, what if you check existence of file but don't have permission, now you have to think of permission

why this still may loop back to being exactly as idiotic:
1. lol threading in python lol multiprocessing in python
2. better to annoy the hell out of yourself relatively early in development than get in try catch hell

in this specific thing, I would frankly do something for abstract iterator tho
