Day 4

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning & Games Development

On day 4, we started off by a session on about AI and ML taught by Mr. Ali Reza Sajun. Mr. Ali began the session by explaining the basics of AI and ML, including the differences between the two. He defined AI as the ability of a machine or computer to perform tasks that would normally require human-like intelligence, such as understanding language, recognizing patterns, and making decisions. ML, on the other hand, is a subset of AI that involves the use of algorithms to allow a machine to learn and improve its performance over time without explicit programming.

Mr. Ali then went on to provide some practical examples of AI and ML in action. He showed us how AI is being used in healthcare to assist with diagnosis and treatment, and how ML is being applied in finance to predict market trends and make investment decisions. He also discussed the potential ethical implications of AI and ML, highlighting the importance of responsible development and deployment.

Mr. Ali then explained how AI algorithms process and analyze data, and how they can be used to make predictions or decisions based on that analysis. He also highlighted the importance of creating accurate and diverse samples when training AI systems, as this helps to ensure that the AI is able to make accurate and unbiased decisions.

Next, Mr. Ali walked us through the process of creating and testing AI samples. He showed us how to gather and organize data, and how to use tools like Teachable Machine with google to build and train AI models. He also demonstrated how to test AI models to ensure that they are working accurately and efficiently.

Throughout the session, Mr. Ali was patient and thorough in his explanations, and he was always happy to answer questions and provide additional guidance. His enthusiasm for AI was contagious, and I left the session feeling much more confident in my understanding of this complex and rapidly evolving field.

​

The next session was about game development by Mr. Sameer Alawnah. As a beginner in the world of coding and game development, I was eager to learn and explore the various tools and techniques used in creating interactive and engaging games.

The session started with a brief introduction to the concept of game development and the different platforms and languages used in creating games. Mr. Sameer then introduced us to Tynker, a visual programming platform that allows users to create and publish their own games without the need for prior coding experience.

Using Tynker, we learned how to design and animate characters, create levels and challenges, and incorporate interactive elements such as sound and scoring systems. Mr. Sameer walked us through each step of the process, providing helpful tips and tricks along the way.

With Mr. Sameer's guidance, we were able to troubleshoot any issues that arose and fine-tune our games to be as engaging and enjoyable as possible.

At the end of the session, we were able to share our completed games. It was a truly rewarding experience to see our hard work come to fruition and to have the opportunity to share it with others.

Overall, the session on the basics of Games Development with Mr. Sameer was a valuable and enjoyable experience. Not only did I learn about the process of game development, but I was also able to put my skills to the test and create my own game using Tynker. I left the session feeling inspired and motivated to continue exploring the world of game development.
