Sounds Great,
I am also as always looking forward immensely to this year’s challenge again.
And I do believe last year, when I was rewriting most my bot in the last week or so.
That some of my limitations moved immensely.
I learn a lot every year. But felt my AI was at a bit of a Plato for a while. Likely just a lack of practice.
Anyways, Im looking forward to this year again.
Continuously enhancing a codebase in a competitive sense is the best way to code.
Also the best way to learn if you ask me.
Because there’s a clear measure and objective. And at the end of the day your code gets graded. Somewhat brutally at that.
I will do a Intro video this year. My fiance might finally participate. But I value fairness.
So anything I want to show / tell her about the challenge, Id put in a public video.
The topic would also be how to approach the challenge. Or rather how I approach it in the beginning.
And how I approach the data itself.
But very little on strategy. As I hate spoilers.
Looking forward to another year.
If I could say I have a goal its this…
I want my bot finished at least 2 weeks before any deadline.
Still doing tweaks and refinements the night of the deadline is a terrible habit.
Im super amped to see what the team brings.
Really starting to get my bot withdrawals.
But not writing AI outside of Entelect does help me. Cause I do build this anticipation.
