A computer game is a computer-controlled game where players interact with objects displayed on a screen for the sake of entertainment. If we want to play games on the computer, suggest ONE (1) suitable input device and ONE (1) suitable output device, include the usage explanation for each device.
Computational Theory: The halting problem is described as the impossibility to know if a program (based on any programming language) will halt or not after it starts running. How would you simulate or semi-simulate the halting problem? If a simulation is possible, provide a graph or a flow chart. Explain your reasoning. If a simulation is not possible, explain your reasoning
1. Your objective is to guide a robot through a labyrinth. 1. Your objective is to guide a robot through a labyrinth. The robot begins at the maze's middle, looking north. You have the option of facing the robot north, east, south, or west. You may tell the robot to travel ahead a particular distance, but it will halt if it comes too close to a wall. i. Create a problem statement for this situation. What is the size of the state space? ii. The only location we need to turn while traversing a labyrinth is at the junction of two or more passageways. This remark may be used to reformulate the issue. What is the current size of the state space? iii. We may go in any of the four directions from any point in the labyrinth until we reach a turning point, and that is the only action we need to do. Using these steps, rephrase the issue. Is it necessary to maintain track of the robot's orientation at this point? iv. We already abstracted from the actual world in our original description…
Submit solutions to the following problems in a single pdf document preferably completed using LaTeX. It is likely that you will need to use programming (Python) or a matrix calculator to solve most of the problems. You do not need to submit the code, but you should include explanations of all your conclusions. 1. Suppose a robot mouse is placed in a grid. Each room in the grid has doors that open to all other rooms. One room contains a trap so if the robot mouse enters that room, then the robot loses and the game ends. If the robot mouse makes it to the outside of the grid, then it wins and the game ends. Suppose the grid is 5x5 and the trap is in the third row, third column. When the robot mouse is placed in a room, it randomly selects a move left, right, up, or down until it is either trapped or reaches the outside. Assume that the starting point is never the room with the trap. What is the probability that the robot mouse will win the game? Does it depend on where the mouse begins?…
This question assesses Block 2 Part 4. Parts a and b of this question involve creating drawings or descriptions. You can make your drawings whichever way is easiest or fastest for you. For instance, you could simply make your drawings using pencil and paper then scan or photograph them. Alternatively, you can answer by providing descriptions of the drawings. In that case, keep close to the formulations used in the long figure descriptions of the examples given in Section 4.5 of Block 2 Part 4. a.Consider the following lines entered on the Python shell: >>> Q4_TMA02 = 'submitted' >>> id(Q4_TMA02) 1944127298928 >>> type(Q4_TMA02) >>> Q4_TMA02 'submitted' Draw (or describe) the object and its label that the Python interpreter creates in response to the assignment Q4_TMA02 = 'submitted' in the interactive shell above. Your drawing or description should include a String object with a similar level of detail as Figure 4.14 in Section 4.5.1…
Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science. Michael is blamed for disregarding the social removing rules and making a danger of spreading Covid. He is currently shipped off jail. Fortunately, Michael knows precisely what the jail resembles from within, particularly since it's actual straightforward. The jail can be addressed as a square shape a×b which is separated into stomach muscle cells, each addressing a jail cell, normal sides being the dividers among cells, and sides on the border being the dividers prompting opportunity. Prior to condemning, Michael can ask his companions among the jail representatives to make (all around stowed away) openings in a portion of the dividers (counting dividers among cells and the furthest dividers). Michael needs to have the option to escape the jail after this, regardless of which cell he is set in. Be that as it may, he likewise needs to break as couple of dividers as could be expected. Your assignment is to…
Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. one maneuver, the robot should move one cell to the left or right, given that it doesn't move beyond the field of play. As such, if the robot was in the cell I, it should move to either the cell i−1 or the cell i+1, as long as it lies among 1 and n (endpoints comprehensive). The cells, in the request they are visited (counting the cell the robot is set), together make a decent way. Every cell I has a worth computer based intelligence related with it. Let c0,c1,… ,ck be the succession of cells in a decent way in the request they are visited (c0 is the cell robot is at first positioned, c1 is the cell where the robot is after its first move, etc; all the more officially, ci is the cell that the robot is at after I moves). Then, at that point, the worth of the way is determined as ac0+ac1+⋯+ack. Your errand is to work out the amount of qualities over all conceivable great ways. Since this number can be…
AI a modern approach 10.3 The monkey-and-bananas problem is faced by a monkey in a laboratory with some bananas hanging out of reach from the ceiling. A box is available that will enable the monkey to reach the bananas if he climbs on it. Initially, the monkey is at A, the bananas at B, and the box at C. The monkey and box have height Low, but if the monkey climbs onto the box he will have height High, the same as the bananas. The actions available to the monkey include Go from one place to another, Push an object from one place to another, ClimbUp onto or ClimbDown from an object, and Grasp or Ungrasp an object. The result of a Grasp is that the monkey holds the object if the monkey and object are in the same place at the same height. a. Write down the initial state description.b. Write the six action schemas.c. Suppose the monkey wants to fool the scientists, who are off to tea, by grabbing the bananas, but leaving the box in its original place. Write this as a general goal (i.e.,…
10) In the system from the previous question, each job has a payload, which is the array of numbers that will be tested in the equipment and the e-mail to which the results will be sent after the job is finished. There are two types of jobs: Linear Testing, in which each number of the array is tested in sequence; and Random Testing, in which the numbers are tested in random order. Use the Command design pattern for representing the Jobs. Draw a UML diagram. Answer:
A tile of a monkey puzzle has four monkey halves that can be labelled as north(N), east (E), south (S), and west (W) half. In addition to the shape of the borderrectangle, these halves determine which edges can be placed next one other. There isalso another way to define how the tiles can be placed: Each tile corner (i.e. compassdirections NE, SE, SW, and NW) has a monkey quarter. If we abstract this quarter, forexample, with a letter, only the tiles with the same letter in their touching corners canbe adjacent. illustrates one valid solution for this quarter monkey puzzle.Are the two monkey puzzle representations equivalent in the sense that if we have apile of ‘half monkey’ tiles H, it is possible to define a pile of ‘quarter monkey’ tilesQ that gives exactly the same set of solutions for the puzzle (and vice versa)?

You are trying to build an autonomous robot that can play different card games based on the French deck. But before building the robot, you need to develop an approach to recognise all the cards in a French deck. A French deck consists of 52 cards, which can be categorised into four groups based on their suits: spades (4), hearts (♥), diamonds (+), and clubs (+). Each suit consists numbers from 1 to 10, and three court cards: jack, queen, and king. You had lay down all the cards on a white colour desktop, arranged them nicely before snapping a photo. After some pre-processing, the photo that you obtained is shown in Figure 2.
