This is Simon’s version of Daniel Shiffman’s 2D Casting code, made on Wednesday last week right after the live session. Link to the live session including the coding challenge. Code … Continue reading Simon’s Community Contribution: Variation of 2D Casting Coding Challenge in p5.js
Example of Simon contributing an issue on GitHub
Below is Simon’s issue/ topic suggestion he contributed to the Coding Train GitHub yesterday, addressed to Daniel Shiffman: Function Overloading Nah. Operator Overloading OK, first, we have to understand the valueOf() function. valueOf() is … Continue reading Example of Simon contributing an issue on GitHub

Experimenting with random walks in Wolfram Mathematica
Simon’s code is published online at: https://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/monajune0/Published/Random_walk_distribution.nbhttps://www.wolframcloud.com/objects/monajune0/Published/Random_walk_distribution2D.nb “If I take many random walks and see what the endpoints of those random walks are, what I’ll find is a Gaussian distribution!” … Continue reading Experimenting with random walks in Wolfram Mathematica
Dijkstra’s pathfinding algorithm
“I have first built a maze, then I turned it into a graph and applied Dijkstra’s pathfinding algorithm!” Simon learned this from the Computerphile channel. He later also attempted to … Continue reading Dijkstra’s pathfinding algorithm
More Sorting Algorithms!
An update to Simon’s new project: a series of video tutorials on sorting algorithms! See the full playlist here. Finally, parts 6 and 7 of Simon’s exciting series of video … Continue reading More Sorting Algorithms!
Graham Scan Algorithm
“Connect some points into a convex polygon such that all of the remaining points are inside that convex polygon. The algorithm that will find it for me is called the … Continue reading Graham Scan Algorithm
Unconvinced on a Brilliant puzzle
Simon writes (this is a copy of the question he has published in Coding Train’s Slack chat): Hi! I was unconvinced on a Brilliant puzzle: The problem (at https://brilliant.org/practice/treaps/?p=4): Me … Continue reading Unconvinced on a Brilliant puzzle
