On: Ask HN: Help a Highschooler with His Resume

Yeah, we did a little connect 4 AI project, except that you can drop pieces in from the left side and they float to the right, in addition to normal dropping from the top. I actually tied for first place in the tournament. Didn't figure that sort of thing would be interesting on a resume, but that's a good tip.

I'll be sure to look out for their names, that's a helpful tip.

Way back in 1999 when I did it while enrolled in PSEO we had a game AI. I don't think I tied for first place. Definitely worth mentioning that :)

Also, take Chris Dovolis and Phil Barry if you get the chance. They're great guys, too. I think they both occasionally teach 1902.

I took 1901 with Dovolis and that was well worth my while. I'd done Lispey things before, so I was initially skeptical, but that course started a love affair with functional languages.
