Playing Myopic Col against my #datastructures students. #CombinatorialGames

Update on #Sprouts2023, the #CombinatorialGames conference for #undergraduateresearch: We have 15 registered attendees and 4 scheduled speakers, with 1 or 2 more people who we expect to submit abstracts. http://kyleburke.info/sprouts/sprouts2023/

We still don't have any submissions for the AI Flag Coloring tournaments. We are extending the due date by an extra day: Thursday of next week. That will give us enough time to set up the tournament page. Also, by popular request, I have provided the FlagColoring javascript source code. It is at the bottom of the tournament page: http://kyleburke.info/sprouts/sprouts2023/flagColoringComputerTournament.php At this point, any player has a good chance to win! Submit something!

(At what point of not having any submissions am I allowed to write my own player for the tournament? Maybe by Monday?)

Second game: #KingsInTheCorner

#Tsuro at #GameLunch.

Recently, Craig and I added Ludo #Archaeology to the list of allowed non-Math/CS topics for #Sprouts2023. Although I don't expect that to make a difference this year, it'll be there for future years. http://kyleburke.info/sprouts/sprouts2023/

#Sprouts2023 update: We are very excited to have info about our Keynote speaker on the site: http://kyleburke.info/sprouts/sprouts2023/ We also have abstracts for two of the contributed talks listed. Keep submitting abstracts and we'll keep reviewing them!

Are you an undergrad who likes to play a combinatorial or abstract game? Speaking here is a great way to get experience giving an academic talk!

Also, please remember that the AI players are due on Wednesday, March 29.

I found a video clip I last saw in 2002 and have been looking for since! It's an animation of monkeys throwing pebbles through a screen that can be opened or closed, to represent how a transistor works. https://youtu.be/U4XknGqr3Bo?t=457 (The animation seems to be originally about vacuum tubes.)

#SkipBo for #FamilyGameNight. First time playing for the 6 year old.

My students taught me to play Palace today.
