I recently took part in a nice contest hosted at aichallenge.org. For those of you who don't know about it, it's a series of coding contests revolving around AI.  This particular game was 'Ants'. Basically, you controlled an ant colony while they tried to raze enemy hills, collect food, and protect your own ant hill. It was a very good idea and I have nothing but praise for those who

No posts in a long time, but this will now become a blog about projecteuler :) This problem was very easy to do in C++ (Or any other language). Just throw the big number into a string and get substrings of it. here it is: #include #include using namespace std;int main() {    string big_number = "7316717...........52963450";    unsigned long long biggest = 0; &

   It's been a while again, but I do mean to post more often. I got exams and stuff happening at the moment however, so it's not that easy to do so...  So I decided to write this post so you could find out a bit of what I'm doing. I got in touch with this guy through GameDev who was looking for some help with an RPG he's making. I got on board and now I'm helping him out with some

   So first of all, an apology. I'm sooo sorry but I've just had so much stuff going on right now. School exams, family stuff and more but I'm back now.    So first of all, OS. I've gone from the Debian  beta distro back to Fedora 13. Learning about networking and stuff like that at the minute and I finally made a start on image programming with C++ using SDL. LazyFoo

    So I've decided to learn Perl. It seems like a good language to learn as it's what is usually used for small hacks and quick and dirty scripts. So after the usual small, useless projects (Calculator, Guess my Number, etc) I decided to make an IRC bot.     I spend most of my day on IRC channels. Mostly #HBH on hellboundhackers.org! I decided to make a bot to log

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp So, I got a new laptop about a month ago. Previously, I was using my Dad's laptop or the family desktop. I had a _big_ accident with the family computer but that's all covered in another post ;D Now that I had my own laptop, I wasn't scared of destroying something I didn't own! &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Now, due to some influence and advice on my favourite irc channel, #hbh on

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp So I'm back again! I haven't posted in a _long_ time so sorry guys! Lots has happened in the last couple of weeks so I might as well tell everybody. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Well I found out about hackerspaces. They are class and to make things even better, there's one in my area :D They're running a Linux workshop sometime soon so I think I'll make it my business to attend that. &nbsp&

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I've been away for the last few weeks and only now am I getting some time to do some more work on this widget! You will see a form input and a blank box above it at the moment and if you do decide to press the submit button all you're getting is an alert box saying "success". It's lying. It's not a success yet. For now, I only have 2 small problems I need to work on. The first is

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp So I've started developing a new widget for this blog! It's going to use Javascript, JQuery and AJAX and PHP as the back-end. As you can't use PHP on blogger, the PHP will be hosted on an old site of mine. The AJAX will mean there shouldn't be any re-loads when you submit the form but it will also mean that if you don't have javascript enabled, you won't be able to use this Widget

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Just letting everyone know that if you see any weird looking Widgets/Gadgets in my sidebar over the next couple of weeks that I'm making different ones to practice and hopefully make something useful! If you have any ideas on what would make a good widget please leave a comment as I'm stuck for ideas at the moment! &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp As well as that, I'm starting to make some apps

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp So in my house, there's an old desktop that my Dad resurrected from some damp corner in the shed. It's about 10 years old with 512MB RAM and 60GB Hard Drive. It's a complete wreck and as usual, I had to make it better! Seriously, What am I expected to do with a wreck of a computer with virtually no RAM or Hard Drive. I wasn't let install Linux on it because my sister needs Windows

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I finally got my first laptop! I'm delighted with it :D (Yes, you are going to see a lot of smilies and exclamation marks this post ;P ) It's a Gateway NV54. With Windows 7 64-bit on it.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I'm surprised that everyone doesn't get this. It's very simple, doesn't take a lot of time to code and shouldn't take too long to run. Here's the problem: 2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the numbers from 1 to 10 without any remainder.What is the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from 1 to 20?&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp So nice

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp So I've finished another one! This time it's problem number 4. Here's the problem for those of you un-familiar with Project Euler:A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 × 99.Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers.&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Not too hard. I tried to this a

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I hated this problem. It was so awkward. I'll explain after I post the description:The prime factors of 13195 are 5, 7, 13 and 29.What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143 ?&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I know what you're thinking. Not hard at all... That's what I thought too but I had a bit of a problem. I had the code written up for the test input (13195) in about 20 minutes

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp ProjectEuler once more! In my opinion, it's logical to do this problem before Problem 3 as Problem 3 requires prime numbers too. Also, Problem 3 has the issue of it being an awkward problem due to the high number... Anyways, here's the Problem:By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6^(th) prime is 13.What is the 10001^(st) prime number?

I spotted this one today and it blew my mind.&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp A printer made out of lego. You'd think it's impossible but here it is! There's even little lego men on it!

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp So ProjectEuler once again. This time it's problem two. Problem is:Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...Find the sum of all the even-valued terms in the sequence which do not exceed four million.&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp So it involves going up to 4

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I enjoy the Project Euler problems. I've never asked for help even though I've struggeled a lot at them. Even still I've only done ~10 in my preferred language, C++. I'm now learning a little C and I've decided that Project Euler would be a great place to practise what I've learned. So here's my solution to problem 1 in C:#include <stdio.h>int main(void){ int total=0;
