New things

• Journal

2 July 2013

Recently I have started many new things. I’m now re-reading all Detective Conan comic books, currently on Volume 36. I also re-play Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+, currently on Hollow Bastion after defeating 1,000 heartless. I also started a new course on edx.org, it was CS169.1x: Software as a Service by BerkeleyX. I also managed to play Simcity 4: Rush Hour on my laptop.

Unfortunately, because of those new business, I have to drop my course on Creative Programming offered by Goldsmiths on coursera.org. Also, LM2 development seemed to stuck (again), this time because of my laziness. Let’s continue it next week after I have completed Intro to Psychology.

 

CS188.1x

• Life Goes On

28 March 2013

Actually I’ve been enrolling in CS188.1x, a online course offered by University of California, Berkeley (known as “UC Berkeley” or simply “Berkeley”). The course is about Artificial Intelligence. The course itself is accessible to anyone at http://www.edx.org. edx also offered some other top-university courses. edx will send us a certificate (through email) if our progress of the course is above some criteria, for this course, it was 60%.

This course consists of 12 week, there will be 3 projects, and 6 lecture and homework, plus one final exam.

This week is Week 6 (of 12) of the course. We were given a project about “Games”. No, it’s not playing games, it is making pacman smart in playing games. We were to implement Minimax Function to simulate the all best and worst case of moves.

The course will end some time after April, which was prefect, because I’ve finished my study in high school. I just need to struggle to keep my progress good on weeks where the national exam was held.
