And Now, Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Programming
This week is done with. I have officially completed almost everything I set out to do. A lot of it was completed later than thought, and there have been many late nights, but most everything was accomplished. As a matter of fact, I can only remember going to bed before 1:00 a.m. once this week. The coming weeks for this poker project are going to be somewhat hellacious. I’m hoping that it falls together like most things Markus plans do. Still, this is a term project, so I would say that the degree of freedom required may hinder this magical falling together. I can still hope.
I now have diagrams of how poker works. I’ve actually written out in a flow chart just how three players bet in poker. It’s basically a state machine with 26 states. I’m quite proud of it. I wish that I had had more time to do flow charts of other parts of this game so that I could be more prepared for the massive coding that must happen next week. Alas, this milestone is due in 20 minutes.
I have an exam in statistics on Monday. I’m somewhat scared. It took the class 40 minutes to complete one problem on the practice exam. It doesn’t help when the Evil Michael Skinner draws a duck under glass as the solution and then, when proceeding to try and do it mathematically, sets a mathematical expression equal to a chalk drawing of a pig and back equal to some mathematical expression. It’s things like this that give me a strong sense of admiration for Heike. If I were her, I don’t think I would be able to teach our class even if I did have all of the education in the subject that she does. She just seems to get that much shit from him.
The outlook for next week is to study all night Sunday for statistics, take the exam Monday, and code for the rest of the day. Tuesday, I plan to go to my myth class, work on theory of computing in a miracle session, and code for some of the day taking some time out to bask in Final Fantasy X-2, but not too much time out. Wednesday is Thanksgiving dinner at Beth’s, Thursday is set aside for statistics, coding, and a meeting in Des Moines at 8:00 p.m. Friday, I will present code until I present my prototype at 4:00 p.m. Oh, a joyous week of coding is ahead!
