Weekly Project Post — Week 5

Hey there everybody!

​

I’m stopping by today to report in the exciting news that after a good couple hours of work just now 😓, I’ve managed to finally find and identify the 2 major glitches that were plaguing my little “Rapidly Exploring Random Trees” Python code!

​

That code was my final project for CSPB 2270 - Data Structures, and it drove me crazy that even at the time of submission it had two small little glitches. They only occurred rarely (one out of every 10 times I’d run the code or so), but I hated submitting a final project that had clear errors to it!

​

The errors were very small and subtle. Little things that could so easily be missed, even when reading the code carefully line by line. But I, over a few cups of coffee, finally managed to Sherlock Holmes hard and find both of them!

​

I’ll go add a rough draft of that page to my personal website — orionhaunstrup.com — which will provide a link to the GitHub containing that project.

​

I’m beyond thrilled to finally have debugged that code!

​

PS: That same code is now (almost?) done?? I want to add an additional feature which will let the user click on their choice of start and end points. But that’s a journey for another day.
