Metal gear construction factory bug?

[dragontamer]

Hello guys,

In the Metal gear construction factory level, I got great results yet still no gold!
Time: 33.8 / 45.0
Occupancy: 35/35
Accuracy: 91% / 80%
I don't understand whether I did anything wrong or I solved the puzzle in a way that the game was not expecting. It is very frustrating to understand the scoring rules! They are not clear!

I am taking this game too seriously because I really love it!

My solution:

4 Mark-I Perceptrons working in parallel
2 of them get red and green each
2 get blue divided (I made this choice because of the high number of blue inputs)

Here are the screenshots:

Hi.

You can sort elements by shape with lower accuracy, and it will be faster. You need 32 sec or less for gold

Hi,

thx for the response. I think it is 28 seconds in my version. The Problem I had was that I couldn't see the Gold time once I released (or saved) the code and got a bronze medal for it. I opened another CatHub tab and when executing, I was able to see the time. It might be helpful to show the player what he needs to achieve to get a gold medal more prominently.

Anyway, one odd thing I found out today! Timing with "templates" is different than timing with single components. Meaning, if I put a single component and saved it in a template, it's timing is different than when it is alone. If you're interested about it, I can show you.

Cheers

Yeah the hardest thing for me to adjust to in this game is that you can have errors. Coming from the world of assembler, unconditional jumps, subscripts and valid memory locations and managements, errors were frowned upon.. This computer learning sometime close is good enough.

But I am having a blast though.

Wait until you get to Presidential elections and Prediction of winnings.

Those two always make me sad as you are forced to throw trash output in with the proper outputs.
