i really should have put a bit more thinking into this - i forgot to check if the player has won

thank you for pointing that out

yup, forgot to copy paste into sample tests - thanks

I think you're still logging " " in the example tests no? The test graphics look really bad and compressed.

note: test.expect_no_error could be of use too, no?

I just copy-pasted my java tests - my bad. I hope this "new" version is better.

Hi,

you cannot build tests that are logging " " as assertion message. That's totally useless to the user.

Note that the tests should use test.expect_error(...) (see here if needed) rather than your complex try/except stuff (with no assertion message...)

cheers

If it is too similar, I could make this a bit more complex by including both starting possibilities, resulting in 3 kata's about this puzzle:

• simplified one way
• simplified both ways
• complete puzzle

(just an idea)

good hint, when searching for similar kata's i only found "NIM - the game" (https://www.codewars.com/kata/54120de842dff35232000195, i think there is enough difference hence its call Simplified Nim)

im not sure if it is too similar,
i think the main difference is throwing exceptions (and obviously the AI goes second in this kata)

Isn't this kata too similar?

There also was a kata titled "NIM - the game", I cannot find it now though.

Why is this issue resolved? Your random tests are worthless: the "player" is not playing optimally, the tests don't detect when the "player" has won, there's no validation on what's user returning - this is still a bunch of random lines code which do nothing.

you're absolutely right
the random tests now do random stuff until they can "end" the game, and then they will win it
(now they are at least not completely useless, even tho the kata is too easy for useful random tests)

the print was, the bigger brain lag fix should be up now
(sometimes code wars is a bit bugged when a new test is released)

Nothing's fixed.

woops, forgot to take that out
