Constraint Research and Reading Group

We are a group of people who share interests in all aspects of constraint solving and optimization. We do research on applications of constraints and on discovering new constraint solving and optimization algorithms. We are also involved in educational activities, and in outreach activities.

I have been making a Pac-Man game on Scratch, which can be difficult at times. Programming from Scratch I have learned a lot that I didn’t know before. I have faced many challenges that I have had to overcome, for example, one of the first problems I had was to make Pac-Man not be able to go through walls, as well as the ghosts. I had many issues doing this, because after thinking I had fixed the problem, I had realized my Pac-Man gets stuck on the walls and moves diagonally. I then realized I had to change the background of the game. I also had the biggest issue of the game, which is to get the ghosts to go after Pac-Man, without following the same movement each time. I did eventually get this to work, the only minor issue I have is the ghosts occasionally get out of the maze. I am not yet done, but am almost there.

For my second project, Rosa and I have decided to make a robot that looks like an elephant. We have yet to think of a purpose for the elephant, but we have sketches and some operations for it. Even though it doesn’t have a purpose, we have had some ideas. The elephant will be for entertainment, education, or to help others around the household.
