Software Example Projects

A collection of projects by Paige McKenzie, centered around expanding my software engineering skillset.

Unbeatable tic-tac-toe with Pygame

Programmed algorithm for unbeatable (win or, at worst, draw) tic-tac-toe. Implemented a CLI user interface and visual user interface using Pygame to allow a user to compete against the AI.

See my blog post describing the project.

        --x.jpg

Software: Python 3.6, relying on numpy. Pygame version 1.9.6 was used for PlayPygame.py.

Markov chains for text generation

Wrote adaptable program that accepts input text and uses Markov chains of various sizes to genreate text similar to the input corpus.

See my blog post describing the project.

Files:

+-- markov
    --generate_sentences.py

generate_sentences.py usage:

--filename FILENAME, -f FILENAME
                        Path to raw .txt file. If none is provided, defaults
                        to most recently-created dictionaries.
  --simulations SIMULATIONS, -s SIMULATIONS
                        the # of random sentences to build, defaults to 10
  --markovsize MARKOVSIZE, -m MARKOVSIZE
                        the # of tokens to consider when building sentences,
                        defaults to 2
  --randomseed RANDOMSEED, -r RANDOMSEED
                        the random seed to use when building sentences,
                        defaults to 1

Software: Python 3.6, relying on pandas, scikit-learn, re, and NLTK.
