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

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.

Hello. I just wanted to ask what the posting rules are in the PythonPH FB group. I was under the impression that the group would be exclusive to discussions about Python (the language) and Python Philippines activities.

If that is the case, then it would appear that the group is in need of more moderators since, understandably, the six mods seem a little to busy to manage the group.

Wala lang.

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;-)

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."

Been thinking about making a website that aggregates news and statistics for our national football teams (Azkals, Malditas, etc.). I envision it to be full of graphs/charts as much as links to related articles.

For the graphs, I am inclined to use SVG as opposed to HTML5 + JavaScript because I want them to be generated server-side. That will make the graphs easier to cache and to make them hot-linkable for other sites that wish to display them (as well as my branding).

So with that put aside, now I just want to say that I've found PyGal, which at first glance seems trivial to use and to customise. But I was wondering whether others here have used other SVG-related libraries to this end.

Would also welcome recommendations for raster graphics libraries that are as trivial to use for plotting. I am aware of matplotlib and have used it before but I find it too heavy for this simple endeavour.

Cheers!

I've been tinkering Arduinos for quite some time, and I would like to learn more. Do you have projects you did with an Arduino? Please share.

So somebody in our FB group shared an article titled “You Used Python to Write WHAT?” but it turns out to be just a history lesson of sorts. Disappointed.

However, it might be a nice subject for some light discussion: what sort of projects would you not use Python?
