I had working code (testing with my own scripts) until I copied my function into kixgolf_udf. I failed all the tests.

After checking the ini, it turns out you are passing permutation as a comma-delimited string. In the examples on page one it shows "35214" as a string. So I had written my code to accept a flat string for permutation.

In practice, I think this would be cleaner... "35214" instead of "3,5,2,1,4"

So needless to say I have a little rewriting to do. \:\)

Ok, I did a rewrite...

I've tested it with this ini:
 Code:
[Test 1]
Blocksize=5
Permutation=3,5,2,1,4
Input =Collegiate Programming Contest
Output=leoClaeigt orrPgmnmaio tCgntse
[test 2]
Blocksize=5
Permutation=3,5,2,1,4
Input =G, ,B
Output=B, ,G
[Test 3]
Blocksize=5
Permutation=3,5,2,1,4
Input ="ACM"
Output="MCA"
[Test 4]
Blocksize=5
Permutation=3,5,2,1,4
Input =Springfield, MA
Output=rnpSiilfgeA, Md
[Test 5]
Blocksize=5
Permutation=5,3,4,2,1
Input =Springfield, MA
Output=nripSliefgA, Md
[Test 6]
Blocksize=10
Permutation=3,5,2,1,4,6,10,9,8,7
Input =This is a very long text, something I hope will work
Output=iihT ss r evao glyn tstx, eehmotihI g neip owlr owlk

(changed permutation order in test 5, increased block-size in test 6)

and the result is:

 Code:

KiXtart
KiXtart Version  = 4.52
KiXGolf Script   = kixgolf_ts.kix

Computer
OS               = Windows XP Professional
CPU              = Intel Pentium Model 13
Speed            = 2261 MHz
Memory           = 1024 MB

KiXGolf Scoring Engine
Scoring Engine   = 3.3

KiXtart Golf Score
Tournament       = Top Secret
Processing Start = 2007/08/07 09:37:43.312
Processing End   = 2007/08/07 09:37:43.328
Duration         = 0000/00/00 00:00:00.016
KiXGolf Score    = 441
 
Thank you for participating in KiXtart Golf!

OK, are any points given out for "Most Brute-Force Implementation" ???

\:\)

Too many unneeded variables, too many if/else/endifs, multiple passes through input string, long variable names, redundant debug steps, console display of variable contents...but it works...

 Code:

Running Test 2 Encoding...Decoding...Done
Running Test 3 Encoding...Decoding...Done

Thank you for participating in KiXtart Golf!


Guess I'll start stripping it down tomorrow....

I can't believe this was considered easy!

Damn you! \:\) I just realized that two-digit position number will break my code.

To clarify:

So we can assume that there will never be a message with numbers in it?

Eh ?

I read that punctuation is anything except a-z, A-Z and 0-9

yes, but in the first post it's stated that valid characters are a-z and A-Z (not 0-9)

Right,

I will start over from scratch, the way I try to do this thing contains too much traps ... Even created a test case where encoding fails. Forget the scores I posted so far

DrillSergeant, I added your tests #5 and #6 just to verify my code works as yours. It does but I do not seem to be able to trim very much at this time. I guess I need to ponder my approach and looping structure a little. Hopefully I can give you a little competition.

Running Test 1 Encoding...Decoding...Done
Running test 2 Encoding...Decoding...Done
Running Test 3 Encoding...Decoding...Done
Running Test 4 Encoding...Decoding...Done
Running Test 5 Encoding...Decoding...Done
Running Test 6 Encoding...Decoding...Done
Your solution passed all tests

KiXtart
KiXtart Version = 4.52
KiXGolf Script = kixgolf_ts.kix

Computer
OS = Windows XP Professional
CPU = Intel Pentium Model 13
Speed = 1798 MHz
Memory = 1024 MB

KiXGolf Scoring Engine
Scoring Engine = 3.3

KiXtart Golf Score
Tournament = Top Secret
Processing Start = 2007/08/07 10:16:25.996
Processing End = 2007/08/07 10:16:26.016
Duration = 0000/00/00 00:00:00.020
KiXGolf Score = 473

As it seems to be right now you'll be at least second anyway

Im really anxious to see these solutions. I've got my code "down to" 589 and you guys are 470-490 right off the bat. There must be something I'm missing. Although I'm working fine with Drill Sargeant's latest tests...so that's good.

I have a couple ideas for optimizing but as soon as I start hammering out code my brain locks up. Must be getting old.

sixdoubleo, if you have working code you should post your score asap.

You get points for being in the top 5 first posters, and as far as i can see you're the third one with woking code (because Jochen retracted his scores)

top5 as in rank.
there is no points for speed per jens' last rule change.

back to the basics...
shouldn't this qualify as ok result:

Ah, that's indeed more honest with the global time zones and all...
