Tinkering

• Lesson 5 – Pickup Advanced Conditions & Other Optimizations
• Lesson 6 – Time, Teleport, and World 2
• Lesson 7 – Testing & Debugging Part 2: printf()

Strategic Algorithms / State Machines

• Lesson 8 – Wall-Following

Advanced Way-Finding

• Lesson 11- Compass, Heading, and Basic WayFinding
• Lesson 12- Coordinates & Startegies in World 2
• (Secondary) Lesson 13- Advanced World: No Walls, x & y coordinates
• (Secondary) Lesson 14 – Wayfinding with Trigonometry
• (Secondary) Lesson 15 – Obstacle Avoidance during Wayfinding (Bug Algorithms)

Gone to C!

• (Secondary) Lesson 16 – ai.c
• (Secondary) Lesson 17 – Function Libraries
  • Sample ColorSensor Function Library and tester
    • Use online IDE, like Programiz Onlince C Compiler
    • Copy code from above library/tester into the C Compiler window, and Execute
    • Make changes to get all test cases to pass.
      You can save the passing C code as a color library for later use in your ai.c
    • Consider adding test cases for Trap, Collection Box, Special Zone, etc…
• (Secondary) Lesson 18 – State Machines (again!)
