I made a GB based web app for my grad school project !

May 3, 2011

So I am taking a course in Web Information Systems which basically deals with new web technologies that help build up web services on the internet (much like Giantbomb). As our design project, we were supposed to build a web application that gets data from two different sources based on a user query and mashes it up together and displays all the information in one place.

Using the phrase "A steep learning curve" CORRECTLY :)

Oct 21, 2010

One of my professors brought up a very interesting point regarding the phrase "Steep learning curve" that is used quite often in videogame terminology.

Oct 16, 2010

Just finished writing an algorithm that figures out how to play the Dots game with you. Link for the uninitiated ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_and_Boxes ) Right now, it works for a simple 3 X 3 grid, but damn, it's satisfying to see the computer go toe to toe with you in a game and know that it's your code that runs in the background !
