Schools Projects

My real first project was in my first year of BUT in computer science.

The problem is that we needed to develop a fully functional Hashi puzzle solver in Ada within two months. The challenge was to implement logic that could automatically solve any given puzzle, but we were stuck, only resolving the first simpliest puzzle, and there was only one day left.

But still, we succeded, delivering a complete solver capable of handling multiple puzzles, and since we were the only one who implemented a backtracking structure instead of a recursive one, we reached first in the class ranking.

It was simply because I took full responsibility in developing the resolving part, designing and implementing all night before the submission deadline and succeding, without even knowing that I was the only one who implemented a backtracking structure.

For the tech, I used, like I said, Ada, Backtracking Algorithm and Object-Oriented Design.

So what?

This project, even though it looks simple, really showed me what I was capable of and encouraged me to continue along this path and to pursue my studies.
