Personal Profile:

A computational-neuroelectrophysiologist-by-training turned functional imaging researcher who loves to use MATLAB at work as well as for my hobby (designing video games). I've used MATLAB and C for over 12 years, and I'm also familiar with MPI, C++, IDL, and smatterings of Java.

You can often find me on StackOverflow answering MATLAB questions: http://stackoverflow.com/users/52738/gnovice

Professional Interests:
computational neural electrophysiology, functional imaging, video games (playing and writing), mischief-making

14 May 2009 Staker v0.6 Staker is a 3-D artillery game inspired by Tank Wars and Scorched Earth. Author: Kenneth Eaton

Hi linreal,

That's a new one! I've never had a call to FIGURE fail like that. Had you been doing anything complicated in your MATLAB session before running Staker? I've run programs before that changed certain Java settings, which resulted in subsequent figures rendering funny. I would first try closing and restarting MATLAB.
08 Apr 2009 LINEAGE v1.1 LINEAGE helps visualize the evolution of the code throughout the Peg Solitaire contest Author: Kenneth Eaton

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

@Alan: Admittedly, I may have broken with the spirit of the competition slightly by creating an interactive GUI as opposed to one or more functions to be used from the command line. This obviously made it hard to make a published m-file which could generate its own images. I probably could have hijacked the GUI from the command line (setting hidden handles to visible, using FINDOBJ to get handles for the GUI components, and forcibly setting the GUI state), but this seemed kloogy an inelegant. It was easier and cleaner to capture screen shots and include the images with the submission.

I can verify that your findings about my submissions were correct: my submissions for that contest were totally out of left field and very different from the others. I was off in my own little world trying out different codes without looking at anything anyone else was doing. =)

None of my images in the published tutorial seem to be showing up. I'll try to correct it and update soon.

Interesting approach. I've been working on something similar to explore the lineage of submissions. Although my code won't find any dependencies not listed in the contest data like yours does (a nice touch, I might add), it will allow the user to compare code from different submissions.

10 Apr 2009 LINEAGE v1.1 LINEAGE helps visualize the evolution of the code throughout the Peg Solitaire contest Author: Kenneth Eaton Lam, C Jethro

Your idea is to create a GUI to visualize the entries... very cool. I think there are a bit too much information to visualize so it is a little overwhelming, but the GUI control is very useful. Zooming in and out with the middle mouse button is fun. :)
