Problem Statement

there are at least 8 rows and columns of balloons and so the array hardly repeats itself thus making it difficult to establish a particular method of approach.

Team Members

• qchi
• patel

Summary

We basically used various approaches to attack the task at hand. We made decisions like popping all the red balloons first, yellows second and the blues third. we also did the rows first and columns second while at other instances we did the columns before the rows.

Story

This project came as test in class when Mr foerster wanted us to see if there was a chance or a method of approach towards the game to actually burst all the balloons.If one was able to do this the next objective was surely to design a software program that was to play far better than any human at all times.

Decision List

we decided to approach the task at hand by sharing so as to be able to try out as many games as possible.qchi was to do by starting with rows then columns; patel was for the columns before rows and then the red balloons first.The most favorable method was to be decided by statistical counting and presentation based on the games played.

Material List

there are no required materials used apart from a computer

Software List

google chrome and exel

Time

time was set for an hour and a half of constant tries.

Tutorials

Try out a lot of games.Deciding on a strategy after only a few games can be misleading.
