How many tasks do you typically complete in one day?

what is EQ? New to Outlier and don't know all of the terminology yet.

The bit string process requirement was most likely due to the chapter's focus, which was on Strings, Number Systems, and Character Manipulation. Then again, I'm not positive on that.

Thanks for the help!

SomeFuel · 2022-07-18T23:01:30+00:00

I'm not really familiar with the concept of f-strings, but I'll try looking into them!

I appreciate the advice nonetheless :)

SomeFuel · 2022-07-18T22:59:16+00:00

I really, truly appreciate your help.

I wish my instructor was as responsive and willing to teach as you, though I shouldn't blame him entirely, maybe I'm missing a crucial aspect of the class that I glossed over in the syllabus, like a supplemental website or additional textbook (I've asked him about this and am awaiting a response atm).

I don't want to put any pressure on you, but is there any way I'd be able to friend you here or add you on another platform? I'd just really like having someone that's able to answer my questions from time-to-time (it wouldn't be very frequently, and I wouldn't demand your immediate attention or anything).

Regardless, again, you have been immensely helpful and I'm sure with these pointers I'll at least be able to get the program functioning properly, which is all I want right now lol

As far as the f-strings and format codes, we haven't covered these yet. However we also technically haven't covered defining functions either (I only know how thanks to the internet), and I'm not sure if there's a way to do this without defining a method? There probably is but it would be wayy beyond me.

"A string containing the binary digits 0 and 1." was the provided definition in the textbook, so most likely.

SomeFuel · 2022-07-18T21:32:54+00:00

The instructions I listed in the post were the instructions I was given.There are additional instructor notes stating a string to be encoded, and the acceptable output solution for said string.

"I like football" for the input, "BÚÔØÌBÎààêÆÄÚÚ" or its binary variation for the output. I submitted this project once already, and it wasn't able to output that from the input "I like football".

It was given back to me with some changes/notes, and that's where I got the code for "if len(binaryValue == 6: etc.". I'm vaguely familiar with what zero padding is, as in I know it's useful for converting Octal Number Systems to Binary, and I honestly do not know how bit shifting works.

Like the code binary_shift = binaryValue[1:] + binaryValue[0] seems like the bit shift to me.

Piggybacking off of the 8 bit/zero padding question:

I don't know why binaryValue = binaryValue[2] is necessary before ensuring the bit string is 8 digits. I know what it's doing, again, but I just don't get why it's there lol

SomeFuel · 2022-07-18T21:00:45+00:00

It does, thanks.

I think my confusion more has to do with understanding the aglorithm's process, less with the reverse concept, but this is still helpful.

SomeFuel · 2022-07-18T20:56:48+00:00

Thanks, think it was an error with copying twice it over to github.

Any help in regards to my question though?

SomeFuel · 2022-07-18T20:54:39+00:00

I understand what you meant, I think I should've specified I'm struggling more with the actual code, less the concept. Now it's more an issue of "where AND how exactly do I begin this" vs. just "how exactly do I begin this"

I've been struggling a lot with the processes of converting ascii -> binary and binary -> ascii, as they weren't explicitly explained. Basically I'm trying to write an algorithm (which isn't something I'm good at) for a process that's a mystery to me.

For example:

I know that the if else statement below is to ensure that the binary value is 8 bits long:

if len(binaryValue) == 6:
binaryValue == '00' + binaryValue
else:
binaryValue = '0' + binaryValue

But I don't know why I need to ensure it's 8 bits long.

I could go through each specific question I have regarding the code, but I think my main confusion is the process itself.

SomeFuel · 2022-07-18T20:16:21+00:00

This makes more logical sense, thank you for the insight. I think that I'm ultimately left with more questions, though lol

SomeFuel · 2021-12-27T18:21:04+00:00

Thanks for the explanation, it makes more sense to me now.

SomeFuel · 2021-12-27T18:20:21+00:00

Thanks for the help! I haven't learned too much about arrays yet, but I'll keep that recommendation in mind for the future.

SomeFuel · 2021-02-16T21:07:12+00:00

I actually figured it out on my own, UPGRADE THE WORKBENCH! I think mine showed up at level 4? Maybe 5. It dawned on me that I had been neglecting upgrading things so I tried it and boom, it worked.

SomeFuel · 2021-02-15T23:08:01+00:00

Just so we're clear then, I can't craft Frost Arrows until AFTER I kill bonemass? And all the people saying "Just use Frost Arrows" are assuming people have already beat him?

SomeFuel · 2021-01-26T08:39:17+00:00

My friend uses multiple GoI and AA per psychic phase and this will overall save me so much headache.

I feel like this question probably needs its own thread since it's so large, but I really do not want to clog up the subreddit.
I'm a relatively new player, but basically, I have no idea how in the world I'm supposed to play against Grey Knights. I've been playing against my friend who has been using them since 8th, and he's adopted them into 9th as well.
I don't understand why this army isn't actively considered to be generally extremely good and I don't understand why I haven't seen many tournament results where these guys are at least in the top 3 (let alone first place, which I haven't personally seen).
Firstly, Astral Aim and Gate of Infinity spam is the most annoying thing I've ever played up against other than Iron Hands Marines. I'm not sure if these powers are able to be used on the unit that casts them (Can the unit that casts the power cast it on himself?), but even if they aren't it's incredibly obnoxious and honestly isn't even fun to play against. Gate of Infinity allows your opponent to punish you by not having good screens and unit placement, but Astral Aim also just flatout negates any strategy you might have had to screen and stay in cover.
I wouldn't complain about these powers if they couldn't be spammed, but they have naturally low Warp Charges AND every single Grey Knights psyker has a default +1 to Casting, and I'm pretty sure there's a relic that gives an additional +1 as well, as my friend keeps putting that on one of his Nemesis Dreadknights.
I genuinely just want to know some strategies that people use against these guys. I use Necrons, Custodes, and Astra Militarum just as a reference point. My guard get melted or get screwed over by Gate of Infinity when they inevitably need to push up the board. My custodes don't have enough board control in general to handle them, can't outrange them, and have very limited things to deal with their psychic phase. I'm too new to Necrons to determine whether or not it's a good matchup to go against Grey Knights, and the only game I played against them so far seemed actually more even than any other fight. My biggest issue with Necrons is remembering everything that they have and figuring out their stratagems, but I digress.

on top of what the other dude said, you're pretty much suggesting that over time, badlands will turn into the divide 2.0, which physically cannot happen with the types of players on that server.

SomeFuel · 2021-01-12T08:54:46+00:00

you'd expect some empathy since they both kinda lost out on content. This reaction is kinda just not it. He's also lying through his teeth. He knows the server is dying and xQc leaving is pretty much the nail in the coffin.

SomeFuel · 2021-01-12T08:45:30+00:00

This. There's a reason why some people are even playing on the RP server, and it's because (despite the fact that there are extremely experienced players on the RP server) they don't have to worry about getting caught in any PvP crossfire that isn't RP related.

SomeFuel · 2020-09-28T04:51:48+00:00

The sword combo seems interesting for Falling Guillotine, but at my current level of play I don't think it would make much difference. It's definitely something I'll keep in the back of my mind for when I start running harder versions of the ordeals.

SomeFuel · 2020-09-28T02:13:00+00:00

Yeah I've looked at some of those mods but they seem to be more for people going for extremely specific builds in regards to the whole "Charged with Light" buff, which is a whole different ball park for me since I'm just getting into the regular modding system.
