Re: pic: N Dimensional Exploring Tree

To add context to this because I feel most people don't understand the significance of this:

Marlow (re)created a n dimensional path finding algorithm that is magnitudes times faster than the...

Re: Suggestions for websites or programs to use to learn Java?

Are you wanting to teach students how to be good (java) programmers or how to program robots? In many cases the latter does not imply the former sadly.

If they already have some experience...

Re: Inaugural Programming Challenge

I think @Marlow's new solution is the best anyone will come up with. It scales linearly with dimensions and logarithmically with iterations. While the number of iterations is not constant per a...

Re: Inaugural Programming Challenge

Your solution did indeed find a path for all 1000 random generated tests I ran on it. Could you test how well it scales with input size (grid size for now) and either post a graph in this thread or...

Re: Inaugural Programming Challenge

I am not entirely certain if a big-O exists of a solution based on a probabilistic solution. I would be delighted if one existed. For now, to accompany this algorithm, try to prove mathematically...

Re: Inaugural Programming Challenge

I will rigorously test your solution after work today.

Your approach to the problem certainly is valid, but, as you have pointed out, it has inherent flaws with how you constructed the problem.

Re: Inaugural Programming Challenge

For now, they are simply axis aligned n dimensional boxes that can have decimal precision. I don't see much of a reason to add more complex shaped obstacles, but if you give a good one then I may add...

Yes, the dot product will be used to measure the validity of a future point.

And yes, but not necessarily 7.

Re: Inaugural Programming Challenge

Each algorithm is to return a single list of points going from A to B that avoids the obstacles, how the programmer computes that path is up to him/her.

The algorithm will know where the obstacles...

Distance of the path may also be taken into consideration.

Re: Open Invitation to help design a programming game for FRC

This is a great idea. Set up a server than organizes and runs games with the code submissions and have a real time leaderboard then at the end have a tournament of everyone's latest code.

For the most teams, their code cannot adapt. Their autonomous routine...
