12/8: Class Notes

What did people think of 7 letter word?
Daniel: It was helpful to have previous reports, previous code less helpful
Neha: It was helpful to know the approach of previous years. Knowing what not to do helped to figure out what to do.
EPK: Maybe it would be interesting to repeat multiple projects
Dan: We wasted a lot of time getting an architecture together when we could have been writing the code.
Elba: It was helpful that the first project was text based (and not geometric)
Flavio: It was nice that we could get some basic results quick

Mosquito?
EPK: I liked that it was visual
Daniel: It was interesting that nobody got a good discrete solution
Everyone thought that the competition was fun

Push?
Elba: Everyone kinda plateaued
Yang: It was an interesting game, that models what we see in real life
Neha: The piling was terrible

iSnork?
General consensus - many variables, very complex, quite a bit of room for further work

Most people voted to extend project 4 for next year
