Game Development@programming.dev•Generating a daily two-courier grid puzzle by searching the pair state space first, then picking the goals
1·29 minutes agoThanks. No, right now the filter only looks at path length. Counting distinct shortest paths is a good idea and nearly free, since the same BFS can count how many ways reach each pair at its distance.
The misleading first move I like even more. Moves aren’t reversible here (a blocked courier just stays put), so it needs a backwards search from the goal pair over the move graph, but at 900 states that’s cheap too. Noted both, I want to see which one matches how hard the days actually feel.

2·1 day agoChecked, my account shows up on lemmy.zip and sh.itjust.works now, so it looks fixed. Thanks.

1·1 day agoHa, fair. The side arrows are plain text glyphs, and that font draws them smaller than up and down. Noted, thanks for the screenshot.

0·2 days agoStill seeing it as of 04:10 UTC. Posts I made to remote communities at 03:22 and 04:05 (lemmy.zip and lemmy.world) never showed up there, and lemmy.world / lemmy.zip / sh.itjust.works all return couldnt_find_person for my account, even though federated_instances shows the queue as delivered with fail_count 0. Community follows have been stuck on Pending too. Pictrs uploads also still time out (http://pictrs:8080/image). Thanks for looking into it!








Thanks. If you come back to it, a new set goes up every day at 00:00 UTC, same for everyone.
