Well, if you say so.
Code:

Function s($)
    Dim $_, $0, $1
    ReDim $s[($+1)*$+$]
    $s[0] = " "
    For $_ = 1 to $
        $s[0] = W + $s[0] + B
    Next
    For $_ = 1 to Ubound($s)
        $ = Split($s[$_-1]," ")
        $0 = Right($[0],1)
        $1 = Left($[1],1)
        Select
            Case InStr($[1],B)=2 AND $1 = W                                                 ;^B
                $s[$_] = $[0] + B + $1 + " " + Right($[1],-2)
            Case ($0 = B AND $1 = B AND InStr($[0],W)) OR ($0 = B AND InStr($[1],B) = 0)    ;W^
                $s[$_] = Left($[0],-2) + " " + $0 + W + $[1]
            Case $0 = W AND ( InStr($[0],B)=0 OR InStr($[1],B)=0)                           ;W->
                $s[$_] = Left($[0],~) + " W" + $[1]
            Case 1                                                                          ;<-B
                $s[$_] = $[0] + "B " + Right($[1],~)
        ;EndSelect
    ;Next
EndFunction

So that means I can compete with my 'non-private' code (had it ready before end of private round, but missed the deadline for about one hour) ?

I don't recall any rules about those not playing in the private round not being able to play in the public round.

Granted it would be impossible to win overall, but as I see it anyone can play in public round.

Also, if someone trims points off of code you or anyone else posts then they then get a lower score than the poster until such time as the poster or someone else posts lower code.

There is no PROPRIETARY RIGHTS to the code just as there was not in the PERLGolf challenges.

I'm not going to go back and read all the rules now, but I don't remember any rules like that, but if there are then I think they should be removed to be in the real spirit of the Perl Challenge this is modeled after.

Right, if you say so, here's 414 of mine

Code:

function s($)
    dim $_, $0, $1, $2
    redim $s[$*($+2)]
    $s[0] = " "
    for $_ = 1 to $
        $s[0] = W+$s[0]+B
    next
    for $_ = 1 to ubound($s)
        $ = split($s[$_-1]," ")
        $0 = right($[0],1)
        $1 = left($[1],1)
        $2 = instr($[1],B)
        select
            case $2=2 and $1=W                                        ;^B
                $s[$_] = $[0]+B+$1+" "+right($[1],-2)
            case ($0=B and $1=B and instr($[0],W)) or ($0=B and $2=0) ;W^
                $s[$_] = left($[0],-2)+" "+$0+W+$[1]
            case $0=W and (instr($[0],B)=0 or $2=0)                   ;W->

do something?
adding extra stroke to the leading code would come up with 211.
how fair is that?



I know i'm new here, but I just want to give my opinion on this issue anyway

I totally agree with Jooel.
It's easy to take the lead score and modify it so you get 1 stroke more.
I can't count the times, in which I changed the lead script and got a 210 or a 211 as score.

I hadn't expected that my score of 213 counted, I dont think it's fair to do so. Jooel beat me with 210 half an hour earlier with the same (and even shorter) solution.

410

should RTFM from time to time

Code:

function s($)
    dim $_, $0, $1, $2
    redim $s[$*($+2)]
    $s[0] = " "
    for $_ = 1 to $
        $s[0] = W+$s[0]+B
    next
    for $_ = 1 to ubound($s)
        $ = split($s[$_-1])
        $0 = right($[0],1)
        $1 = left($[1],1)
        $2 = instr($[1],B)
        select
            case $2=2 and $1=W                                        ;^B
                $s[$_] = $[0]+B+$1+" "+right($[1],-2)
            case ($0=B and $1=B and instr($[0],W)) or ($0=B and $2=0) ;W^
                $s[$_] = left($[0],-2)+" "+$0+W+$[1]
            case $0=W and (instr($[0],B)=0 or $2=0)                   ;W->
                $s[$_] = left($[0],~)+" W"+$[1]
            case 1                                                    ;<-B

Well I don't agree and neither did the PERL community.

Bottom line is - IF someone somehow was able to write/re-write his/her or YOUR code and make it smaller, then they were able to think up something you were not able to think up (at least at the time).

That is sort of the whole idea of public coding, not to just see if you can lower your own code, but to get the lowest regardless of who's code used.

I am fully with you there Ron;
The only problem for me is that I have a hard time to even understand what I myself coded

remco, your score actually was the reason why I started thinking about it.
I know you were coding with the same base code as I and you didn't just copycat my modifications, thus, I think you should have that score.
anyways...
if someone takes the leading code and takes another approach with it and that adds to the score, he still has almost leading score with his code.
it shouldn't be accepted though.
so, think this comes to trust in the end. if allowing higher scores, one has to be able to trust that no misbehavior occurs.

someone might remember way back when some nameless regular posted very low score with:
Code:

function blaah($input)
$blaah = readprofilestring("kixgolf.ini",$input,"correct answer")
endfunction

Jeez, you guys make me log in from work.

Rule 8) states that in the public round anybody can re-use anybody's code. This means that somebody who missed the private round submission deadline can still submit his code and have it count in the public round. This also means that anybody can take any of the codes posted in the public round and improve the code base to gain a better score. However, taking e.g. the best-scoring code, adding a stroke to then make second place will not count. You must improve the score in order to have it counted, plus only the best submission by any coder will count. Thus, nobody could take over multiple spots in the ranking.

Hope this clears it up.

And kicking a var brings benny's code down to 338

Code:
Function s($z)
	
	Dim $,$a,$b,$c,$d
	
	$=' '
	For $a=1 to $z
		$=W+$+B
		$b=$b+$z+2
	Next
	ReDim $s[$b]
	For $a=0 to $b
		$s[$a]=$
		$=Split($)
		$b=$[0] ;Left
		$c=$[1] ;Right
		$d=Right($b,2) ;Right chrs of Left Half
		$z=Left($c,2)  ;Left chrs of Right Half
		Select
			Case $d=WB
				$=Left($b,Len($b)-2)+' BW'+$c
			Case $z=WB
				$=$b+'BW '+Right($c,Len($c)-2)
			Case Not($d=W Or $d=WW) And Left($z,1)=B
				$=$b+'B '+Right($c,Len($c)-1)
			Case 1
				$=Left($b,Len($b)-1)+' W'+$c
		;EndSelect
	;Next
	
EndFunction

Well, you know Jens,

Anytime I fire kixgolf_nameofthegame.kix the results (Score) will be written to kixgolf_nameofthegame_rules.txt.
That makes it hard to study the rules
