This week we learned a great deal of new concepts. The first was how to utilize the quick sort algorithm and how it is based on the divide and conquer technique. This technique aims to break a problem into smaller and smaller parts until the problem is easily solvable, and then the solution is applied to essential conquer a big problem by breaking it apart. We also learned more about binary tree traversal and the different methods for moving through binary trees. We also learned about the concept of tree height calculation which is a good indicator of the worst case scenario in tree traversal. One of the big take aways from this week was learning about Kahn's algorithm and how it is useful for topologically sorting data. A lot of great concepts this week that I will have to revisit before the final.
Part One: Supporting and Commenting on Teammate's Goals I visited the following teammate's blogs and commented on their goals. Juan's Blog Vance's Blog Part Two: Possible Capstone Ideas The three ideas I have for my capstone project are two different mobile apps and one indie game. For the two apps I am thinking of creating something in Swift, the programming language of iOS. The first app is a passion project that involves a list builder for a miniature tabletop game called OnePageRules. It is an independent miniature game ruleset and already has a web version. My app would take that template and adapt it for iOS. The second app would be a simple star wars app that utilizes an online API for Star Wars call SWAPI. This API has a number of entries related to the Star Wars universe in JSON format. My app would connect to this online API, download specific pieces of data and display them in the app. The third idea would be to create a simple side scroller game. The game ...
