computing

Introduction The game of life is a cellular automation devised by John Conway. This simulation has only a few rules, but it is Turing complete [0] and incredibly interesting to watch. With recent news about Conway, I thought it’s time to give it a go. In one programming kata, I had encountered this problem, but never went to fully complete this simulation. This time, I’ll use my favorite programming language, Scala, and my current favorite library, ZIO [1]....

Introduction Recently I started reading a book about evolutionary computing. As you can guess - its about problem solving using evolution concepts. One of the first examples in the book is about 8 queens puzzle. Its a puzzle in constraint satisfaction problem space and my guess is that it is solved with evolutionary computing later on. I think it would be interesting to look into more common algorithm for this puzzle before proceeding with the book....
