March Update

The months are flying by! It's been a busy start to the year. Most of my spare time in January and February went on the Stanford Machine Learning course I completed on Coursera. A really great introduction to the fundamentals, definitely something anyone in the AI field needs have in their toolbox these days.
Since then, a couple of weeks ago I started up a new UnrealEngine plugin research project, this time it's a Sparse Voxel Octree navigation system, based on the article by Daniel Brewer of Digital Extremes in Game AI Pro 3. The SVO generation is working now but needs tidying up and a few bugs working out, before I start on the pathfinding, and wrap it all up.
Feel free to take a look, it's not in a re-usable state yet, but is up on github as usual.

Brief update for this month Super busy on the project at work, bouldering three times a week, doing this Stanford Machine Learning course mornings and evenings. Off climbing down in the Eifel first thing in the morning tomorrow! Going to be minimal time on the personal project side of things until I finish the ML course, then I can get stuck into implementing some fun ML things in Unreal :)
Happy New Year!

So, it's 2018 already, time is flying! My current project at Ubisoft Blue Byte is getting really into gear so I expect my time to spend on personal projects may diminish, but I will do my best to get more interesting stuff done and shared this year :)
Here is the rough plan for the first quarter :
- Complete the Stanford Machine Learning course that I've started on Coursera
- Mess around with applying some ML ideas to game AI in UnrealEngine
- Continue to deal with any issues and general maintenance on existing UE plugins
I'd love to continue polishing the terrain generator, but it's a the point where I really need to get into materials and art, which don't really interest me. Hence the switch to some machine learning topics.

Finished moving the website around now, time for some spring cleaning! Considering renaming my Github account, which may annoy a few people, but I'm on a bit of a mission to consolidate my online presence. I'm really tired of social media so I'm going back to the 90's old school style and just writing a blog. No like buttons, no retweets, no comments, just somewhere to write stuff :)
Finishing up a milestone at work this week and then using some built up leave to have a few solid weeks off over Christmas, I'm planning on spending a week on the website and my code projects, so expect updates.
