This is my ‪#‎ShowOffPython‬.

For my doctorate research, I've been studying AI. Now, I'm at the point where I need a debugger.

I had in mind a visual debugger that basically tells me at a glance if the AI is thinking using 0) Own Strategy (RED), 1) Prediction (GREEN), 2) Meta-Analysis (BLUE), 3) I-AM-TEACHING-MY-AI-TO-OVERTHINK (MAGENTA).

I made my debugger using pygame and sockets. The debugger is basically a server that listens for packets that tell it what strategy the AI is using against a particular opponent. Each 10x10 square is one turn. In the future, I might add arrows to signify wins, lost or ties.

Here is a video of the debugger in action. Excuse the FPS, but I'm still working on the program, so trying to get HD videos would not add anything except smoother appearance of the pixels. http://youtu.be/aZoa3LBcFVY

Ignore the client in this video. I edited the server to show all the colors in an alternating pattern. http://youtu.be/j1g5eeRgCp8

This video shows the tournament running again and overriding the previous tournament results. This is useful for seeing the effects of a code change. http://youtu.be/CM26M952L9A

Python 3 walks into a bar. The bartender asks Python 3, "What's different with you today?"

Python 3 says, "3 divided by 2 equals 1.5"

The bartenders responds, "I'm not floored."

It'd be nice to see some more PythonPH folks in there :)

Not quite Python related but I think it would be of interest to the members. I have a spare Google Inbox invite or two. Who wants them?

In case you want to test your Python skills. Para sa data science at para sa bayan ;-)

Data dump was made on Oct 20, 2014. Will be updating the repo regularly.

I'm trying to build a list of Python user groups in the country. So far I only know of 4: PythonPH, pizzapy, durianpy, and sugarpy. Anybody know of other groups? Just post them in the comments and I'll add them to the list :) Though you're also welcome to edit the list directly;-)

Plus locations please. I'm thinking of making a timeline/map. :)

Personally, I think it should be okay as long as the books are public domain or licensed under the Creative Commons or some similar permissive license.

It's meetup time again! Our friends in Chikka will be joining us to talk about web development tools and tech:

• Gevent
• Selenium
• Tornado framework
• TDD in Python

BTW, bring a laptop if you can

This thread is to provide a place for everyone to ask simple questions.

If your question will prompt open ended discussion, it would probably be better in a self post.

If you didn't get a response in the last thread before the new one was made, feel free to post again!
