- bandrami 10y ago"We support them all"... bah! Where is Forth?
- arethuza 10y agoA Forth based AI? Reminds me of Mentifex.
- cr0sh 10y agoGave you an upvote just for mentioning that - though beware, you may have summoned him. Amazingly - from the last time I looked (only a month or so ago) - ATM is still around and ranting across the net (as much as some things change, it's nice to see he hasn't - as strange as that may sound).
- cr0sh 10y agoHeck, I'm wondering where BASIC is...
- bandrami 10y agoI've never used VB.NET but it's pretty much basic, isn't it?
- coldcode 10y agoBrainfuck would be interesting.
- LeonardA-L 10y agoThere is a game about making an automaton that translates things to Brainfk though https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/optimization/code-of-t.. https://www.codingame.com/multiplayer/optimization/code-of-t....
- Larrikin 10y agoI was disappointed to see they offer the deprecated version of Swift but no Kotlin
- rayuela 10y agoOpenAI Gym is a much better alternative to this. It's better in every way and more importantly you're not just giving away all your hard work for free.
- JyB 10y agoYou can only use Python in OpeneAI Gym if I'm not mistaken.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIndeed. They say other languages are coming soon. I wonder how much code one needs to port to be able to use another language?
- LeonardA-L 10y agoNot so much but it's an old architecture that dates back before docker/container techs came around, so it's kind of a pain. We're looking into a better architecture that would allow us to add any language in a couple hours
- TeMPOraL 10y agoMy question was aimed at OpenAI Gym (which seems to be using Docker), but since you seeem to be involved with CodinGame, I kindly ask you to please add support for Common Lisp ;).
- LeonardA-L 10y agoYou're the third person to ask for this on this HN post :) I'll just copy-paste my answer now We have a lot on our plates right now so adding new languages isn't the main priority, however we add languages based on the number of upvotes on suggestions in our dedicated forum thread https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/please-add-the-following-p.. https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/please-add-the-following-p.... Do not hesitate to go there and vote/ask for Common Lisp
- TeMPOraL 10y agoNice execution. Please mail me when you add Common Lisp, I'll come back and play ;).
- 2Steps 10y agowill do. Not on our plans right now though. (Thibaud from CG)
- grimmdude 10y agoLooks cool, missing my go to language though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck

- motivic 10y agoAlso Python is version 2 and not 3.
- LeonardA-L 10y agoThere is python2 and python3, they are just separated languages
- motivic 10y agoMy bad. I did not see the language choices in the select menu are not alphabetized. Should have looked at it more carefully before commenting.

- runevault 10y agoSounds like this is a variant (and more directly competitive) than what patio11 was working on for starfighters? If so huh, wonder what makes them think they'll have better luck than starfighters did.
- LeonardA-L 10y agoFull disclosure: I work at CodinGame. CodinGame has been around since 2012, and we've seen the rise and fall of Starfighters. We are doing fine with a community of 500K+ developers, and I think the main difference with Starfighters is that we have the momentum and strength of a full company (~20 people). Our code execution backend is starting to be pretty robust now, we can make games with pretty good graphics, we have a sales team that can handle the partners of our worldcups and follow-up on the hires. I think it would be harder today to create such a company and get the momentum we have.
- runevault 10y agoAwesome, thanks for taking the time to answer.
- hashhar 10y agocodingame.com is one the best casual coding websites there is. The games are all interesting and go on to teach and illustrate concepts. The contests are also really cool. Social coding brought to a whole new level.
- LeonardA-L 10y agoThank you, we appreciate this a lot :)
- chadlavi 10y agoThey have a really good onboarding flow.
- _agdistis 10y agoThis looks really cool! I wonder, is there any plan for eventually supporting Common Lisp? I was a bit disappointed to see it wasn't on the list.
- LeonardA-L 10y agoWe have a lot on our plates right now so adding new languages isn't the main priority, however we add languages based on the number of upvotes on suggestions in our dedicated forum thread https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/please-add-the-following-programming-languages/717/6 https://www.codingame.com/forum/t/please-add-the-following-p...

- K3 10y agoGonna be there in 20 min. K3
- valuearb 10y ago"Get hired at awesome companies" Show picture of awful open floor plan with some jerk riding a cart around to doubly ensure you'll never be able to concentrate.
- 2Steps 10y agoHi, Thibaud from CodinGame. We were discussing with the team about this picture. I was wondering how much this image disturbed you. Sure it's probably a bit exaggerated, but did it really turn you away from the website?
- TeMPOraL 10y agoTotally this. Reminds me of the footer of Riot Games Engineering blog[0]. The content they post is very good and interesting, and I don't doubt it must be a pretty cool company to work at, but that office photo at the bottom literally describes hell for me. I would spend my whole day there waiting for my anxiety to cause a heart attack. [0] - https://engineering.riotgames.com/ https://engineering.riotgames.com/
- coldcode 10y agoO man that would turn me off completely.
- mal808 10y agoSure QuietComfort 35's will solve your sound issues in environments like this. I can highly recommend them! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01E3SNO3E/ref=twister_B01GJO0WO4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01E3SNO3E/ref=twister_B01GJO0WO... ...but yeah, that looks particularly terrible.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoI'm already a happy owner of: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/PC-Headsets/HyperX-Cloud-Gaming-Headset-PS4-Mac-Mobile/B00JJNQG98/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1488560479&sr=1-1&keywords=cloud+x+hyper https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/PC-Headsets/HyperX-Cloud-Gaming-H... I actually bought two pairs. First for use at home, based on Wirecutter recommendations. They are good at silencing the environment, so I quickly bought a second pair for work...
- indubitably 10y agocodingame has destroyed my productivity because it is awesome
- wooshy 10y agoThis seems like a much more interesting alternative to things like codewars. I'll definitely check it out.
- floor_ 10y agohttps://static.codingame.com/common/images/start/background_05.1bef5781.jpg https://static.codingame.com/common/images/start/background_... What the fuck.
- plopz 10y agoDoes this have a game mode thats similar to Robocode?
- darkerside 10y agoFun! What would be a really cool addition to this is unveiling the test cases one at a time. It would add an element of building your code in a flexible way when you don't know what all the requirements will be yet.
- gigatexal 10y agoblocked at my workplace because of an old ssl cert i think.
- jschulenklopper 10y ago<opinion> I've tried CodinGame for a brief while, but became less enthusiastic of using it because of the fantasy/RPG/war game theme. Personally, the visuals, the (sometimes slow) execution of the code because of the animation, and the gaming references (descriptions) distracted me from actual coding and learning. Codewars (except for the name) has less emphasis on the in-game competition and fight. Although that visual theme is also rather dark, there's less distraction. Personally, I'd prefer even a much 'cleaner' UX and UI. Or -- but with loss of the advantages (but also disadvantages) of coding in the browser window -- code challenges that just require a number or string to be submitted as an answer. (Project Euler, Advent of Code, Google Code Jam.) Then my whole coding environment is under my control, and the programming languages and tools to be used aren't restricted as well by the platform provided. But having said that, CodinGame looks great (if you fancy the theme) and is really well executed. It's just not my cup of tea. </opinion>

- crestedtazo 10y agoI'll post my personal experiences with this software - it was not enjoyable and I felt it was mostly a waste of time. I didn't feel like it effectively conveyed the idea and purpose of the lessons it was trying to give. Ultimately, it was kind of a waste of time... I had a lot more success and a lot more enjoyment with OpenAI Gym. If codingame is interesting to you, definitely save yourself some time and check out OpenAI Gym!
