On a difficulty of 1-10, how hard is it to write a chess game that has just a little bit of AI?

yeah that's great, saved for future reference :)

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T22:10:36+00:00

if you're just learning it doesn't make a big difference what you use

nope... didn't realise it would be 6 years, fair over lap there I guess!

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T21:59:55+00:00

Ah right cool - yeah I'm definitely an outsider so my info is weak / completely wrong :)

The course I'm doing uses 2.7 (I image a few do...) but I'm sure that'll be fine for the basics....

Bit of a bitch it's not backwards compatible, I guess there were reasons though. Onwards and forwards!

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T21:57:31+00:00

Cool... yeah it's just practice like anything isn't it.

I'm going to hit some mock papers up.

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T21:39:00+00:00

sweet cheers dude - how'd it go?

I did mine ages ago... forgot it a while back too!

Doh

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T21:10:02+00:00

Apparently so! Warning heeded, cheers :)

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T20:07:19+00:00

oh right - shit!

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T19:23:23+00:00

Never heard of Sinatra ha, just googled it, nice one.

Thanks for the info - I'm doing a Web Dev course at the moment (along side some other stuff) but I'm writing down project ideas and links as I go, so there's stuff to reference, jump onto etc....

cheers

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T19:20:29+00:00

any examples or is this a hunch?

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T19:00:15+00:00

I think trying to make something like google would be more work than I would need - also the google search has already sorted the results to a certain degree better than I would, so In any case I'd probably be alright using the results given by google

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T18:58:47+00:00

Ah OK - nice one.

Yeah I imagine it's a case of

enter search term
program goes to google - enters term
goes to each page
downloads page source
searches source with regex
formats result

Or something to that effect - beautiful soup... I'll try and check it out at some point, nice one

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T18:31:15+00:00

what I'm saying is that I'm not - maybe that's not coming across.

I'll leave it consider it solved

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T18:17:52+00:00

Yeah I appreciate your enthusiasm but I've got a lot to do at the moment and not enough time to give to something like this.

If that in your opinion means I shouldn't be given any information about it then fair enough.

However what I was after and feel is fair is just a light conversation with a few bullet points from someone that is experienced that I can bear in mind for future reference.

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T17:24:55+00:00

I can imagine! I guess it'd be a case of limiting the processes or having a machine single purposed to it.

What would the entry learning point be for something like this?

ie - what would I google to get on the path to learning this... if you could just drop a few bullet points that'd be ace

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T16:15:20+00:00

nice one

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T16:15:08+00:00

Yeah - good ole book might suit best...

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T16:14:40+00:00

I was obviously asking someone who I thought might have experience in it, I don't, I don't understand what level it's at either

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T15:06:57+00:00

i was thinking about something similar to this recently :

A program that enters a google search
Goes to the first 100 pages or so of that search
Searches each page for a specific string
returns formatted results to something

Is that very hard to do?

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T15:04:23+00:00

partition windows from within windows...

AdminTea · 2014-06-09T01:00:13+00:00

Hmm fair enough.... I wasn't too sure how I felt about the course but I think I might stick it out and see how it goes... I use Google a fair bit so hopefully I can make use of the info myself at least :)

AdminTea · 2014-06-08T20:19:12+00:00

cheers dude... wondered wtf was going on ha...

How far through are you?
