One thread today was further improving a random search algorithm 🙂 The left one is the improved one and on the right is the original algorithm.

The result is quite satisfying 😉 120 generations vs 12 generations 😀

Gaga is very expert on this, so he explained how it works in front of the class 🙂

Gaga got his own way in explaining things 😉  He knows how to use logic gates!

Ardi is also very good in using RedStone in Minecraft. He is working on creating automatic lights in a tunnel.

This is the circuits Gaga created to make a tunnel with lights inside it that will turn on each time the door is opened.

The lights are on the left and the right side along the tunnel. And will be fired up with a delay so they will not turned on once. This is so cool.

Ardi and Gaga are discussing about their different ways on doing it 🙂

While Faris is busy working on Minecraft ver 1.9 on the main laptop in the front of the class.

Minecraft 1.9 now has Elytra. It has a cape and will let the player to fly 🙂 How awesome 🙂

Then things go ugly when Faris created command block that summons Creeper…

And it just wouldn’t stop!!! Gaga came in rescue and help exploding those creepy creatures 😀
