09/21/2018, 2:15 AMall the questions i've been asking for the past month and for the next few are related to hw assignments i'm getting in my AI course. they're a lot of fun!
this week's was a genetic algorithm. if you're interested in seeing the completed assignments in action, here ya go!

09/21/2018, 4:46 AMBut why mix of Java/Kotlin? Why not using one language for a project?

09/21/2018, 8:00 AMMaybe the course organizers provided Java templates?

09/21/2018, 8:49 AMBut why Kotlin?

09/21/2018, 8:49 AMBecause Kotlin is nicer to write? You're in a Kotlin slack and you ask "why Kotlin" 😛

09/21/2018, 12:08 PMNever mind. @Hullaballoonatic, it's tricky to reconfigure and run the project

09/21/2018, 4:08 PMyeah we've been provided java code. i could switch it to kotlin, but i think the professor would rather we use his code so he can easily hotswap our solutions

09/21/2018, 4:09 PMyeah, i didn't exactly write the genetic algorithm to be easily reconfigured without altering code...

09/21/2018, 4:44 PMAlso it would be nice to have a bit more description. As I understood (I could not run the project), it implements game AI algorithms (ai-in-action). And I'm quite surprised that for introduction into such kind of algorithms Java was used, not Python or C++ (the later, obviously, rather complex)

09/21/2018, 7:46 PMwe're welcome to write all assignments in any language we wish, but as an intro course java is plenty quick enough.
