Week 2

This week the focus was to complete the first set of Grok tutorials, which I completed. in the final challenege of grok 8 I encountered a problem in attempting to split a list into seperate lists of individual characters and then sort them in alphabetical order, I had a problem with it not splitting properly and then therefore not being able to sort it, I tried using different combinations of the list command and .split, but I wasnt able to get it to work, I used a python visualiser to help me see what my program was doing and where it was going wrong, from there I was able to amend the problem with the right commands. following that I continued onto the next set of grok tutorials which I encountered very little trouble in until the 'robots in a line' challenge in which I am still currently stuck on working out how to read different cased characters in the one string, I hope to have this amended and to be up to or around the third tutorial by next week. I have not yet started properly working on the quiz task as I am still brainstorming ideas and would like to have a larger knowledge of python before starting to make sure I am making the program in the most efficient way possible.

Final Post

This past week I've been working on fixing issues with the program to make it run as smoothly as possible. I didn't think I would get the stats for nerds page done and was going to scrap it so I could focus on getting the documentation done and fixing the minor issues so it would be more polished but I decided to do the stats for nerds page anyway and spent the past day and a half working on it. The notable issues from its development were mainly around gathering the data, in which I found some other errors in how I was collecting data such as not updating the data files when quitting the program. But i managed to finish the page as well as the rest of the program. My final solution was reasonably successful in comparison to my proposal and design, the only main things that I wasn't able to achieve was customisation of genome numbers and generation size and stuff like that, but that would have required a lot of digging through files in the libraries I was using to edit th...

Week 13

this week I’ve been mainly focused on effectively parallelizing my AI so it can run multiple tests at once and be a lot faster, however I’m having trouble interacting with the neat library in order to do this as during some of its processes I need other functions to help me keep track of different things within the program, so I’ve been trying to work out how to edit the library and I’ll continue to work on that this week and hopefully have a finished AI soon enough.

Week 16

This week I worked on getting more of the interface and data collection work. I worked mostly on the view existing AIs page, getting the AIs to blit little buttons on the screen for interaction. I had an issue with data storage in text files but was able to fix it since I was writing to the text file when I was viewing it, which made it blank. This week ill continue to work on those pages, hopefully getting some functionality in those pages.
