Your cacti sorting is inefficient and incorrect since your insertion sort is doing double insertion, not single. Also your cacti aren't even properly sorted once your algo finishes. West/South should be <= and North/East should be >=.

When you plant your sunflowers, you should be keeping a dictionary of power -> position for all sunflowers on the field. Then you sort the dict by power descending (so highest power sunflower is first) and then loop over that dict and move to each sunflower and harvest it. Stop trying to re-plant and re-compute your whole field.

dude, I love this game, I do python programming for a hobby and just having a game like this I just LOVE it EDIT: could it be possible for the vid to be at 1080p60???

If pumpkins die at a rate of 1 in 5, then that's only a 20% loss, but you're trying to account for a 50% increase in material. That's more than double the loss. If anything, you should only be attempting to get a 25% increase in resources, which gives you 25% extra in best case and 5% in worst case.

Python has match-case statements. Match is the same thing as switch. But you know how it is where we can't have the same word in different languages because reasons.

Iritates the shit out of me when people dont read the screen.

To optimize sunflowers further, you can pick more than a single flower per field provided it's always a flower equal to highest petal count out there. If you store the coordinates of each measured flower in an array, you can have the drone travel directly to the location of each max petal value flower before it has to re scan the entire field again.

Hi bro like the content I really believe that content like that is missing on YT

Not sure if you remember later on, but around 16:28, you were talking about getting around 60 per harvest, it seemed you forgot there are unlocks that effect harvest, and it may be at 6? been a month since I played this game and do not recall what the largest sunflower multiple is.

7:30 start

cant wait for the next videos! i just got an old car thing and i'm thinking of making a sensor expansion board for it so it works closely to a pi zero :D

Why not take advantage of polyculture for the 10x harvest? Wouldn’t that cut down on the later phases where you grind hay, wood, and carrots back up?

Epic. I subbed

Fascinating. I'm not good at dictionary and set usage, and I don't call functions in the same way. My maze doesn't use the measure function, it checks if it's looping with a move counter and then moves randomly for 100 moves. The random function is neat. After it moves randomly it goes back to following a wall until it loops. Not elegant at all.

Hey do you know if theres a keyboard shortcut to redo? I know undo is ctrl Z

Yay this game rocks!

Enjoying the series but 720P isn’t quite enough for your wide screen monitor capture. :)

Wow, what a monster of a video, congrats on the sub 298min, only 271 more to shave off for 1st place! Do you plan on continuing to optimise it further?

I'm glad even someone familiar with coding will unashamedly create a virtual controller to manually get the first chest rather than figure out that mess, I feel a bit less dumb not having figured it out ^^'

You can save a little time by preparing global variables and lists*before* calling timed_reset(), that way it's free

I appreciate your breakdown and it makes it easier to learn and understand, but could you please zoom in some on your code more. It is blurry trying to read.

I guessThere aren't many runs on YT, but one guy (who has a subtitled, no sound vid of a WR run, like 30 minutes, from 6 months ago.) said that he hand tweeks the methods, and doesn't do all upgrades, they cost more than they save. His wood rarely got above a few k, at one point his pumpkins got up to 48K, ends at 8x8 size, 1300 drone speed, stuff like that. If you ever want to cut to the chase, he doesn't post his code, but he does show the unlocks screen at the end of the run, which might give you ideas..

you've got a sub

for the sunflowers isn't it like harvesting first the bigger ones and then the smaller ones because you're only harvesting the bigger ones and leaving the others (sorry for my english)

As a beginner to programming and an intermediate at this game this is a great series and i'm sure it will blow up one day , if this is a cracked version plz tell me where you found it because i have the older one, Thx :)

Really cool, waiting for improvement on your attempt

Again I thank you for this little bit of help I love the way you set out your code it is soooo much cleaner thine mine. 🙂

Thank you for this I have been going nuts trying to figure out pumpkins . I look forward to see how you handle sunflowers and the rest of the crops.
