Takeaways
I am very interested in this approach. I grew up learning piano and music theory
The puzzle I chose: https://www.puzzle-light-up.com/
Each block that doesnt have a black box must be lit up, and there cant be 2 lightbulbs shining on each other. A box is lit up when there is a bulb parallel to it. The black boxes with numbers show how many edges of the blocks is shared with a lightbulb.
I know it's sort of basic I picked the first one, but one game of this turned into hours of games. It wasn't the only one I played, but I think I have a decent understanding of it. I picked it because I don't fully understand the algorithm yet. I can solve a hard puzzle but it required trial and error. I have figured out tips, like if there is a square that says 3 lightbulbs touch it, when the corners touching it can't have a lightbulb.
I pick the circle challenge and the Gen2 algorithms homework
They both gave us examples to solve a probelm
one as in class, the other was out fo class
the problem with the Gen2 algoritm that made me feel stuck was that I didn't have any crazy unqique ideas and ended up just modifying an example
with the circle challenge, it was in class and felt like a competition with other people. It made me feel like I needed to be clever. It was also fun just in class
