Week 5

What an eventful week it has been. In my attempts at setting up a gym retro environment through following a tutorial i kept getting stumped at a step, returning error code 1. I think i read every single article remotely related to that error that exists on the internet and was not able to find much of a fix for the soloution. i posted my issue on stackoverflow hoping for a response aswell as commenting on the tutorial video. after no responses i decided it might be a windows issue and so i performed a dual boot with ubuntu linux with the help of my teacher. things seemed to be going great until i came across the step that led me to my demise, and alas, the same error occured. things where seeming hopeless, there was no soloution in sight, i tried everything under the sun and above it. I got a reply on my comment, from Lucas Thompson (the youtuber that made the tutorial) and he was also unsure. i decided to try and install it differently and not from source like in the tutorial, i copied across the missing files from my failed attempts, and through alot of trial and error along with my helop from lucas, i was able to to successfully setup the environment to play sonic (i think) HOORAAAYYYYY.
So this current week im going to do the tutorials and actually start CODING (shocking, yes i know).

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 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.

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.
