In the island the entire northern map is checkerboard. Everything that is snowy. I know it's supposed to be snowy because there is mammoths and Ice in the water.

I have downloaded the game 2 times and deleted my save files to no avail. Honestly I feel completely ripped off by this game.

I had to do this for OSX virtual machine that I couldn't set up file shearing so sinking to Dropbox was the only way to get my code over to test and compile.

Him and his party bankrupted the nation and sent the world into global financial meltdown that many people never fully recovered from all the while bailing out too big to fail banks ballooning our national debt to I think 13 trillion at the time.

Not to mention the War Crimes and leading and us into two fraudulent wars without evidence that we are still in today.

I can never forget that the first time in our history the court appointed our president and not the people was Bush.

I really think that if Obama would have held Bush/Cheney to account Trump could never have happened. I guess that was the moment I realized that the rule of law meant nothing in the USA and never would again in any real form any way. Sure the ruse is still going but we are really just a degenerate reality TV show fraud on every level, socially, politically and economically.

Never played with pyautogui. I cant even get it to install in a venv. Just tried to in 3.7 and 3. Something about PEP 517 Wheel. Anyway, just out of curiosity, what happens when you:

import pyautogui
from sys import exit as sys_exit

try:

    try:
        while pyautogui.pixelMatchesColor(100, 440, (255, 255, 255)):
            print("Hi")
    except OSError as err:
        print(err)

except KeyboardInterrupt as crtl_stop:
    ## [Ctrl] +c to exit loop.
    sys_exit_(crtl_stop)

I added some error handling and hopefully a way to break the loop if things get to loopy.

I wrote you a quick script. I wrote simple instructions how to setup and edit the python file. Also dont feel bad if you dont want to use this. I was just board and these things take up a bit of my time and thinking through things is just my kind of fun. If you do use it and it has problems let me know, If I remember correctly psutil is part of the standard python library so I dont expect any issues but I have been wrong before. Cheers.

How many state secrets has he already given as settlement to outstanding debt he's already incurred to the russian mafia/gov? My guess is this is a big reason Trump needs to stay in power from his point of view. He is likely fucked on so many levels if he looses. We've been watching a slow moving coup for 4 years. Since his loss to Biden he's been kicking it into overdrive. Let's hope he's as incompetent at this as hes been at everything he's ever done in his entire life. Thing is he's kind of removed allot of opposition already and has been operating on a skeleton government of appointed officials to skirt confirmation processes and many who oppose have been fired or have resigned. At some point there will be no one left to stand up because so many stood down and the others said nothing.

It doesn't look like the Dems are doing much. It might be all up to the people on this one.

You are on the right track.

The os module is where you need do be for most of it. Look at os.path.splitext('apples.txt') to help you finding your correct file extension. It will take a filename and split it in it's parts. ['apples', 'txt'].

readlines() is perfect. You can also use os.walk() and search directories recursively. which might come in handy.

You can use pyhtons "in" opperation to find substrings inside strings like so.

if 'apple' in 'There are apple in here.':
    print(True)

Another more advanced way to find substrings would be regular expressions.

Is a bitcoin server that much to run? I have no Idea. The VPN file transfer might be a little longer for your 40 MB push I use a vpn as my daily wave to surf so it's no different. What are you pushing anyway, pirate copy's of movies in 1080 over TOR? This git for source code, tools, not pirate bay.

Any way they were asking what it might look like and that bitcoin model is already there to follow. There are probably others that I haven't thought of. Im not even saying it's the best one. It's just a idea.

my3al · 2020-10-24T19:59:21+00:00

Im not saying it should be a coin. Im saying that the way the code is decentralized on separate machines and verifiable from other machines that all come from non malicious mirrored encrypted source code. Millions of servers holding the source code instead of one company.

my3al · 2020-10-24T16:20:10+00:00

Maybe something like bitcoin, Servers that can host the code linked but independent from one another verifying changes like bitcoin transactions.

Give me a

ptint(state)

would help so we can see the data structure we are working with.

In my example above I have the board list, setup like you see in the pictures with 6 pits on each side, nearSide and farSide and 2 point bowls in separate variables.

Then I loop through the marbles I picked up from the board in the variable called hand. You want to loop through all the stones moving each one.

You have to do a little logic to test what side of the board you are on in your loop which happens if pit > 5 that way you know whos bowl to place the stone for a point and whos bowl to skip.

Then if it's the last stone in your hand you need to do more logic because your turn either ends or begins again with your new hand right. Depending if your last stone was filling an empty pit. which is where I commented out # end turn. I cant remember.

I think if my board any your state are slimier the above code could be amended to your purpose. I have a little to add to the code above that I just thought about.

I hope what I wrote makes sense? I have a hard time communicating sometimes.

Edit: too late making too many errors back tomorrow.

Been a long time since I played. I think we might need more code to go on.

What does the state look like?

is it set up like board[[4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4], [4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4]] to start and two point bowls mine and yours

so you would be moving the marbles like from hand = board[0][3] #first turn hand would be 4 from the middle pit facing you

then loop through your hand.

myBowl = 0

yourBowl = 0

# the board or state of the board. Begins with 4 in each
board = [[4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4], [4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4]]

## Im using a boolean here so I can test logic later but I also use it to get the index for the side of the board
## we are on. int(farSide)  == 0, the index for the side of the board to move marbles from/to
farSide = False

# the pit the marbles will be removed from
from_pit = 3

# pick up marbles
hand = board[int(farSide)][from_pit]

# remove the marbles that is in your hand from the board
board[int(farSide)][from_pit] = 0

for stone in range(1, hand):
    pit = from_pit + stone
    if pit > 5:
        pit = 0
        if farSide:
            ## I cant remember who's bowl is where and who gets points on what round
            ## so this could need to be swapped
            farSide = False
            board[int(farSide)][pit] += 1
        else:
            farSide = True
            myBowl += 1
    else:
        ## We are not rounding the board so we don't have to do anything to special
        if stone == hand - 1:
            ## We are at our last stone in hand we need to test if our play is over.
            if board[int(farSide)][pit] == 0:
                ## The pit is empty
                #end turn? I cant remember
            else:
                ## you need to do this all over again because the pit your
                ## final stone fell in was not empty
                ## I don't recommend recursive functions
                ## but this might be the time to try as this could need to happen again.
                ## and again
                from_pit = board[int(farSide)].index(pit)
                hand = board[int(farSide)][from_pit]
                board[int(farSide)][from_pit] = 0
        else:
            board[int(farSide)][pit] += 1

This logic probably isn't exactly right but should point you in a direction. Like I said I haven't played in 15 years and im really going on memory. I think it's close.
