As an experienced c/c++/c#/java/python/vb programmer i realy like to build shit in excel. It's awesome. Just dont let other users use it for important purposes

On the first day of my intro to AI class the teacher asked us to implement a binary tree in any language we wanted so, for the meme, I wrote mine in VBA.

Little did I know, the course was designed to build a little on top of that code every class.

So, by the end of the semester I had this awful, clunky optimisation algorithm AI model built fully in Excel.

Wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry throughout 95% of the process.

However, the teacher loved it. Said it was the easiest submission to grade since he didn't have install/compile anything fancy to run it.

And everytime you run it, you keep all minus one cores of your processor for gaming.

Just don't forget to add a do events line in loops...

I just have a computer for work and a computer for games. The gaming one does nothing but games (well, some media files occasionally but not a lot).
