Problem Statement |
| | Color Capture is a two-player game played on a square board of D x D pixels. Each pixel of the board is assigned a color. Two players start with one pixel each, player 0 in upper left corner of the board, player 1 in lower right corner of the board. Each player controls their starting pixel and all pixels of the same color connected to their starting pixel with a path of vertically or horizontally adjacent pixels of the same color.
Players take turns changing color of the area of the board they control; on their turn the player changes color of all pixels they control, and thus possibly takes new areas under control (areas of new color which were adjacent to areas of old color controlled by the player). The player can't change the color of his area to its current color or the opponent's area current color. The pixels which are entirely surrounded with pixels controlled by one of the players are considered to be controlled by that player (and change their color immediately), since the other player will never be able to reach them.
The game is over when each pixel is controlled by one of the players, or when a total of D2 turns have been made.
You will play this game against an AI opponent. AI will pick new color randomly from the colors of pixels which are adjacent to the area it controls. If no such color provides a valid move (for example, when the area controlled by the AI is surrounded by pixels of opponent's current color), AI will pick a random valid color.
Implementation
Your code must implement one method makeTurn(String[] board, int timeLeftMs). board describes current state of the board: board[i][j] gives the color of pixel in row i and column j denoted by uppercase letters of English alphabet. timeLeftMs gives the amount of time left of the initial timeout, based on tester measurements. The method must return an integer index of the color you want to switch the color of your area to (without letter encoding: return 0 to switch to color 'A', 1 to switch to 'B' etc.) Your code will play for player 0, and thus will do the first turn.
For example, in example 0 valid return values during your first move are 0 and 2 (for colors 'A' and 'C'). Colors 1 ('B') and 3 ('D') are invalid moves, because 'B' is your current color, and 'D' is your opponent's current color.
Scoring
The score for a test case will be calculated as follows. If your code returned an invalid color or exceeded time limit, your score for that test case will be 0. Otherwise, your score will be the number of pixels controlled by your player in the end of the game, divided by the total number of pixels on the board (D2). Your total score will be the arithmetic average of scores for each test case, multiplied by 106.
Tools
An offline tester is available here. You can use it to test/debug your solution locally. You can also check its source code for exact implementation of test case generation, game simulation and score calculation. That page also contains links to useful information and sample solutions in several languages. |

Definition |
| | | Class: | ColorCapture | | Method: | makeTurn | | Parameters: | String[], int | | Returns: | int | | Method signature: | int makeTurn(String[] board, int timeLeftMs) | | (be sure your method is public) |
|

| |
Notes |
| - | The time limit is 10 seconds per test case (this includes only the time spent in your code). The memory limit is 1024 megabytes. |
| - | There is no explicit code size limit. The implicit source code size limit is around 1 MB (it is not advisable to submit codes of size close to that or larger). Once your code is compiled, the binary size should not exceed 1 MB. |
| - | The compilation time limit is 30 seconds. You can find information about compilers that we use and compilation options here. |
| - | There are 5 example test cases and 20 full submission (provisional) test cases. |
| - | The match is rated. |
