Designing a computer player

I’m having a hell of a time deciding how I should handle the AI for Blitz. Its my next step and I can’t get anything else done until this is finished.

Blitz Update

Posted in General on March 22nd, 2009 by Ryan

This is harder than I thought… I’ve finished the graphics engine (I think) and the player’s ability to move cards in and out of the deck, discard pile, and the player’s hand. AI is up next!

I’ve been getting back into programming since I’ve been training with George. I’m writing a few things at the moment including a database for work and a windows card game based off of the game my family plays. The easy part is done for the game I’m calling “Blitz”. The graphics have been created and I can now create, shuffle, and draw a deck of cards. Now I need to work on the AI, which will be the hardest part.

The Results Are In!

Posted in General on March 3rd, 2009 by Ryan

I had my CT scan performed last Wednesday and I’m surprisingly healthy. The EKG showed a healthy heart, X-ray showed nothing abnormal, bloodwork was normal and the CT scan showed no sign of tumor or anything close to it. A “hypno-therapist” was recommended to me to help me control the symptoms of anxiety/stress that I’ve been getting. I don’t know how soon I’ll jump on that train but since the lay-offs are over, hopefully, my panic attacks have subsided. I still get the occasional racing heart but the disturbing head pulses are gone.
