Fundamentals of Programming

Charging full price for a game I have bought 2 times already is quite ridiculous. I purchased Skyrim for the Xbox and for PC. I know that there is still costs for improving the quality of the game, but a reskin does not deserve a full price. I am dying to play this game, but will have to wait until its in some kind of bundle or discount. I love Bethesda, but I think this was kind of a douche move.

This is another video of machine learning that I found. It is much more exciting in many ways, since it is able to accurately emulate how a species of creature might learn how to walk. Using a program similar to this one, we could emulate how a species of creature that might not even exist evolve and improve itself. It can open the gate to a completely new world of wild hypothesis with arguments proven using this computer generated scenarios.

I stumbled upon this video on YouTube, it is machine learning applied to video games. In this example, a computer program learned to play super mario. It is really interesting, since we can see how the algorithm evolved as time passed, and we can also see its inputs, and in my case, I compared what I would have done against what the program did, and in many cases it outsmarted me. It is really amazing how computers are evolving, even in ways we did not even think of.

“Long time Pythoneer Tim Peters succinctly channels the BDFL’s guiding principles for Python’s design into 20 aphorisms, only 19 of which have been written down. ” The Zen of Python is a list of 19 public *rules* that come with python. They were written by Tim Peters and if followed, will lead to a good and error-free program.

The for loop is the third loop we learned in python. It works best if you know how many times the loop will run before you run it. You may have noticed I used it in my Fibonacci sequence recursion program; it worked there because I stated how many times I wanted the loop to run beforehand. The for loop needs a variable and a sequence that it will use to execute the loop. For more info on the for loop, visit http://www.python-course.eu/python3_for_loop.php

I found a web page that explains recursion really well, hope it helps you too; http://www.python-course.eu/recursive_functions.php
This program runs the Fibonacci sequence. It will print the n integer in the sequence; n being any integer you want. This program was made by adapting the mathematical equation of the Fibonacci sequence into a python program.

I wanted to know how much time it took for a program to run. I made a program with a very long loop, and used the time class to record the time it took for my program to run. When I asked Ken about this, he showed me a terminal command that gave more information that was also more accurate. I think that this is a really important aspect of a program, since they need to be as fast as we can make them.

This are some screen caps from my guild’s logs. We log our fights so that we can study our performance and we can improve it, and to asses whether someone is holding us back. I am proud to say that I (Razonixx) was #1 for my guild and as seen in the screen caps I am in the top percentile for my class.

I have a home-brewed Vita console, since Sony decided that they would not make any good games for the system, I found other uses for it. I installed homebrew and a couple of emulators. I wanted to create my own programs for it, maybe just display some code on the display, but alas I could not figure out how to build the files needed to do it. It needed python 8.0 and I could not install it. Had to format my drive about 2 or 3 times for it and all for nothing, but at least it kept me entertained. I think that the language it uses is C or C++, not sure which one of the two it is.

After installing Linux, I had a problem where my computer would still keep going after I closed the lid, causing my computer to overheat without knowing. I had to look through stack overflow for help, and finally found a way to do it. Had to use atom to edit some system properties. Fun times.
