@MinglangDu – Hack Club Scrapbook

Mon, Mar 3

Fixed most major errors with my AI code and merged the branch! I also set the repo to public and uploaded a release github.com/minglangdu/AI-test/releases/tag/v0.2.0-alpha, and published a video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVwgbq4z2js

Added a little debug window to my neural network test. It is going to help me fix many issues! youtu.be/k6WEUDrnXCc?t=8 Edit: added an image to placate scrappy

further probing into my code has revealed three massive bugs in my code. Too lazy to summarize them again so here are the issues github.com/minglangdu/Simulation/milestone/2

As of now in USACO, I have full points on problem 1 and 2 and partial on problem 3. It's my top score of all time and I'm really excited!

Github: github.com/guywithnousername/wfctest I realized my algorithm wasn't updating the procedural generation after some time, so I spent some time documenting the code to understand it more. Hopefully this will help me find the problem. Here is the debugging (red means not filled in, and the all different possibilities for each square are in the brackets):

Practicing coding a lot today on no particular website because I'm registering for CALICO. I've never coded in a team, so I'll see how this goes. The website doesn't have a thumbnail so:

Was able to get the IDE to connect to my programmer after some help from #C015HANFLE5| and someone at an open house. Thanks

After so many months, I'm finally returning to my procedural generation project! This scrapbook feature has really helped me pick up my old projects again, after I run out of ideas. Github: github.com/guywithnousername/wfctest/tree/stitch
