Take Two

Just had my first exam of the year. I’ll definitely pass, but I’m still kicking myself for not reading over the material fully at least once… I am sooo stupid when it comes to exams…

Thought a bit about project for next year, seems that Christian’s suggestion to do a AI library of some sort is the best suggestion I’ve had so far. I can even implement one or two simple games to show that it works.

Started playing with the classic ‘8 queens’ problem. For those that don’t know it, is the problem of placing 8 queens on a standard chess board such that none of them threaten each other. It was easy to solve the N-queens in a N*N board for values up to 8, but 8 I have not been able to solve yet. Oh well.

UPDATE: Heh, speak of the Devil ;) I decided to give the 8 queens problem ‘one more try’ just after I wrote the above paragraph, and lo and behold, after just 10 restarts I made it! :)
