SDD major week 1

Over the holidays I made progress with mostly the learning of neural networks, tensorflow and machine learning following tutorials to build things such as self-taught handwriting recognition software. I also resolved a lot of issues I had with packages and installation, I created a virtual environment through anaconda which allowed me to install packages I was unable to on my pc. However I then ran into the issue of some packages being unavailable on the virtual environment, and since I can only access one at a time, I didn't really have any ideas for a solution besides installing some sort of GitHub clone of the package into anaconda. Then during the holidays, my computer stopped working, and I got a replacement which led to me setting up all my packages again. This allowed me to install all of the libraries without having the previous issues or even the need for a virtual environment. Now that my packages are nicely setup and well structured I am able to focus more on the actual programming of the task rather than the installing and setting up of packages in this coming week.

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.
