KiXgolf Tournament 2008

On the first hole of KiXmas my true love gave to me: Easier Done Than Said
On the second hole of KiXmas my true love gave to me: A Well-Formatted Problem
On the third hole of KiXmas my true love gave to me: Instruens Fabulam
On the fourth hole of KiXmas my true love gave to me: Latin Squares

The following are the tentative dates for the KiXgolf Tournament 2008. As it's late in the year and the holidays are upon us we will play with overlapping rounds, thus once the public round for the first hole starts we'll also play the private round for the second hole and we then continue adding private/public rounds. And to give everyone a chance to participate we'll keep the public rounds open until the beginning of the new year.

The tournament titles are just a high-level description of the actual round and the dates reflect the private rounds
 Code:
Easier Done Than Said    : 2008-12-07 to 2008-12-12
A Well-Formatted Problem : 2008-12-13 to 2008-12-19
Instruens Fabulam        : 2008-12-20 to 2008-12-26
Latin Squares            : 2008-12-27 to 2009-01-02

End of public rounds     : 2008-01-09

Scoring for the KiXgolf Tournament is as follows:
  • 1 Point for each participant that posts a KiXgolf script during the public coding round (must be either a new solution or an improvement to an existing solution)
  • x Points for 1st to 5th place in either the private or public round in reverse order, thus 1st Place = 5 points down to 5th Place = 1 Point
  • 1 Point for the 1st to 5th Place in the private coding round (if valid script was posted in public round)
Each participant will be scored according to their lowest posted KiXgolf score in either the public or private round.

So, get your favorite text script editors ready, polish your clubs, and start practicing.

Can you clarify this rule for me....

 Quote:

7) During the private coding phase, no code is allowed to be posted. Violations result in disqualification of said player.


As I am not the greatest at knowing all of the shortcuts that others use (but I am picking them up slowly), is it permissible to ask for direction on how to shorten code.

As an example:

 Code:
For $Counter = 0 to Len($Something)

Tends to be golfed to
 Code:
For $ = 0 to $S + 1 ^ 0

Caution:

For $ = 0 to $S + 1 ^ 0

loops in fact to the length of $S + 1

I've tried to start a golf manual many times, but I don't know which golf tricks need explanation and which don't...

If you like explanations of specific code used in the previous public kixgolf rounds, you post them here, and I'll promise to write an explanation.

Maybe after a while we can condens it to a short manual.

btw, to explain the statement above

Len($var) can also be written as ($var^) or $var^0

The second option usualy works as the maximum var for a for-next-loop, and the first one if you're using it in calculations. But because the second one is one stroke shorter, it's worth to try if it works.

Rule 7 is exactly that, no code \:\) So, even asking how to simplify a line of code may provide enough hints to other participants on how to tackle the problem.

You can always ask to have code dissected in the public round or study prior public rounds to see how code works.

Thanks Jen, that is what I was afraid of. Oh well more digging through Jooels insane code.

I have updated rule #2 (again). I hope we now have the right balance.

 Quote:

32) Additional test cases can be added at any time during the KiXgolf round. The code is expected to pass based on the rules. The test cases may not include tests for all rules and exceptions. Test cases that are added during the public round will not alter the results of the private round.


I encourage you to post new tests during the private round if you find them.

for the current rounds, this one seems to fit quite nicely.

how about some interim scores before 9th?

Well, I think this is the current score table, but since all Public rounds are still open there can still be changes.

Also, I hope that I've interpreted Jens's scoring system right.

Jooel				196	6	6
Jochen		234	3	234	2	5
Allen		304	2	245	1	3
Gargoyle	560		560	1	1
BradV				494	1	1

 Code:
		Private	Points	Public	Points

if someone forgot, you get a score by improving someone elses code, even if it's not the shortest.

I'll post an official score update tomorrow. I've been busy the last couple of days at work fiscal quarter-end stuff and kick-of preparations for a new project.
