Warning: short random post ahead.
I am excited. A new Ubuntu release is the best birthday present I can think of receiving from the open source community. It almost feels like Christmas. Though I am more excited for the LTS releases, any release is fun to get.
Let the countdown commence!
Just a quick post to provide this wordle created at wordle.net. I really enjoyed President Thomas S. Monson‘s address in priesthood session of last general conference. This is a wordle I created from the words of this talk. The key topics were obviously priesthood and marriage. Very good.
President Monson's words from April 2011 Priesthood Session.
Announcing the release of Botswana!
A few years ago I took an artificial intelligence class where we learned how to do AI stuff with a game called BZFlags. It was a modified version of the game and was essentially capture the flag. We got to program bots (tanks) in the game to do ‘intelligent’ things and try to win the game by capturing the flag.
A bit ago I was talking to my friend Ben about games like this and we decided to build our own. The code is open source and on GitHub. The whole thing is written in javascript and should work in modern browsers. We simplified the coding of bots too, there are samples bots that you can look at, but essentially a bot returns 1 of 5 commands to the server each turn; forward, backward, left, right, fire.
Feel free to play with it. If you run into any issues/problems/bugs or have any questions for me, let me know. Enjoy.
