Welp

First time programmer wrapping up a beginner Java class in local college. Used to be a sysadmin and am somewhat familiar with Bash shit. Might have to skip summer semester for financial/schedule reasons.

What should I do with my newly acquired knowledge so my old balding idiot self doesn't forget it wholesale by fall? I know I should code *something* but I honestly don't have any idea what. I'm not quite advanced enough to code anything related to my occupation and most open source stuff is honestly way over my head.

AI that can play your favorite board game better than you is always a good bet.

1. Learn C
2. return 0;

>>2
Ah thanks. Sounds actually feasible but NFI how to go about coding an AI. Bunch of if-thens and switches?

>>4
Don't forget loops.

>>5
Don't forget go tos.

Have you read SICP?

I think a tree solver will play most board games better than you.

reinvent groupboard?

reinvent anonchat?

>>7
Googled SICP. I think my coworker has a copy, gonna see if he's willing to lend it to me for a few days.

>>9
usable GUI outside of "click butan get number" is out of my league, but I appreciate the suggestion.

The first step is to create the game environment, so that human players can play each other. Then Add a computer plays that use interface as same the player 2 pwn.
