If AI assists you with coding, it means that your code is in part written by AI. The sentence still contradicts itself. | |

You cannot use AI to write your code but you can use AI assistance in debugging. We tried to make the text much clearer in this challenge than the last but there's always room for improvement! | |
| Jun 10, 2025 at 12:55 | comment | added | General Grievance | I agree with the valid board state thing. There are a few submissions that are just a grid using the alphabet of the game they want to encode to (Sudoku, tic-tac-toe, chess, etc.). This allows for some pretty arbitrary and near-trivial submissions. | |
