Jolie’s Status Report for 9/21

This week I gave the Proposal presentation for my team on Monday 9/16. Most of my weekend before the presentation was spent fixing up the presentation and practicing my delivery. Also, began looking into the most efficient algorithms for hint word generation. One way would be to make a tree-like structure and traverse through the tree with the words in the player’s rack and the words on the board. To make the problem more manageable, I will break it down to only thinking about words that can go horizontally and then tackle the vertical direction. I looked through the ECE Inventory list and requested a camera for our project based on our needs for resolution. Next week, I will continue to look into word generation algorithms for hint logic and possibly start the code if I find an algorithm that I deem is the best way out there.
