CS50 Projects!
Posted by blandfill in college life, computers, science, the Internet on December 13, 2009
Hey everyone, as you may or may not have known, the CS50 fair was this past Tuesday, and three of us participated (Danny’s too good for CS50, although we did try to get him to TF the course).
Note: The cloud is being reset on January 1, 2010, so the links will no longer work soon.
Charles’ Project:
An automated trading system analyzer written in Python3 (eventually going to be moved to its own domain). http://cloud.cs50.net/~li15/fp/
Duncan’s Project:
A course selection tool that randomly selects appropriate Core classes. http://cloud.cs50.net/~dwatts/final
Tom’s Project:
An interactive speech recognition program named “Hal Py-Thousand.” Source Code: http://www.blandfill.com/tomstuff/CS50.rar
Danny:
Look at the post below for one of Danny’s many projects. http://www.blandfill.com/2009/12/13/gchat/
GChat

Someone in the room mentioned that we should create a GChat bot that would let us all talk together without the hassle of creating a chat room each time. Having used xmpppy before, I went and did it.
The result:
(Charles changed my GNOME theme to pink some weeks ago.)
Tom then wanted me to write a post about how I did it, so here it is. Without going into a description of the library itself, it works as follows: when it gets a message from one of us, it prepends the appropriate initial and sends the message to the rest of us.
I guess I can go a little more into the details of the library (especially because the documentation is pretty annoying). (There still isn’t really that much to say.) You run some commands in the library to create a connection and log in, then register a function with the connection object to handle incoming messages. I suppose I can add more description if anyone wants. Code.
So that I can get all the tags:
