Ideas¶

Encryption¶

Integrate email into the encryption code, so you can send and receive encrypted messages
Explore ‘code breaking’, writing code that code break the encryption of some of the encryption schemes

Extend the chatbot to talk about some new topics, or a new kind of interaction
- For example, update the chatbot to more systematically answer questions
- Or focus on a particular topic, like answering questions about Python
Set up Chatbots that can talk to each other

Make the agents interact with each other
- What happens when they are in the same place? Can they ‘eat’ each other?
Add something new to the world: obstacles (walls?), or targers (food?)
Add a new exploration scheme for the bots to perform
Note: if you are want to scale up this idea, you can look into the ‘pelita’ application (from the demo)

Choose an area you are interested in, and explore what people do in it (read code!)
- If you want to try and use an external tool / codebase, consider writing a demo / tutorial for it
Find an API, and write some code to get some data / do some procedures with it
You can also check out and build of one of the demos from the 0th class
One option: create text based programs, that mimic some programs you would like
Build some sort of utility that you would find useful
- File management, organizing pictures, indexing files,
If you are interested in an area of research, start a project related to that
- This can be a way to learn those specific tools
  - For example: get a working demo, and sketch out a tutorial

Pseudocode out the ideas you would like to explore / work on
Open a notebook, and get some code into it
- If you are doing an assignment related project, see which code you need, and isolate it
Start exploring! Write some extra code that starts
- Figure out what you will need to do your idea
When you start having ‘mature’ functions / classes, try moving them into a script
