Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy! Please let me know what you're excited to get into next. Shall we continue building the web app? Which side topics are you interested in? What did you like about the video, and what did you learn? What improvements can I make? It means so much to finally post this video and see your lovely comments. It was SOOOO much more work to put this video together than I was expecting 😅 I probably spent 30 hours of completely throwaway work as I stumbled through the process (not including the time spent on output that actually made it into the video). I'm learning and streamlining the process, so hopefully the next videos will be a lot less taxing!

Awesome video! I love how thoroughly you broke down the topic. I've played this game so many times, and never realized how much information I was leaving on the table!

Thanks! It's amazing how slowly we uncovered that too. It was a slow revelation over the course of a whole summer 🤣 Now you can go put the better checklist into practice! ...but then share the video with your friends after you've beaten them 🙏

​@@LetsGetIntoItMedia haha will do! Fool 'em first, then later let them in on it by showing them the video

This is an amazing piece of work. Professional job. When I think of all the elements - the audio, video, voice modulation, emotions, fluency, clarity, language, acting, storyline, editing, you name it - the work scores north of 90% on each count in my books. And this is your first piece of published video! What will it be like when you have the experience of a few more! The video based on a "mystery" and logic has its added charm. Looking forward to many more.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it and got something out of it! I think this series will shape up to make anyone feel like a boss that they can understand software development. We'll see if that mission is accomplished in a few more videos! ...and if I can get through these videos before I lose steam. This is really hard!

The format suggested for recording the info we get directly and also deduce is extremely helpful. I cant wait to see how you would take us through the next steps of transforming all the rules to build and code!

Thank you! It's funny how I think I solidly improved and clarified the notation system over the course of planning this video. Explaining things to others is a great forcing function to come up with the clearest and simplest idea possible!

I like the use of the white board as it allows both written and simple graphic notes to help illustrate the ideas.

Aww thanks, I'm glad! It took me like 2 full failed attempts at shooting this video to find the right format, and I was happy with where this ended up. Glad you liked it too!

That was very clear .... so clear that even I could understand! Looking forward to the next videos.

Hahaha great! My goal is to make "thinking like a software engineer" as accessible as possible... because it really *is* accessible to anyone, at the core of it!

This is awesome! Really fun way to show logic in this game. Now I need to buy a copy and play with my kids

Yeah, give it a try! It's a kind of boring game when you play it the default way, but more fun when you get into this deeper logic. And this video doesn't take into account stuff like: what's the best suggestion to make next? Is it worth going a far distance to another room to make suggestions from that room? What do *other* players know, and how can you craft your suggestions so that they don't learn what you do? Should you suggest a player's character to pull them into your room (and away from where they're going)? Also, this logic (and the eventual web app) works for different versions of the game. I just bought The Office version, with different suspects, weapons and rooms. You can even add extra categories of cards (ex. a motive for the murder), to add more variables to the mix.

Now I have a clue how to play clue! I think I may need to watch again though!

Great video. Breaks down the game well. Excited to see how it translates to coding!🎉

Thank you! Yeah, that will be a cool translation. In the next episode we're going to stay at the whiteboard and slightly adapt this "notation system" and "procedure" into proper "data structures" and "algorithms", which will be the same underlying concepts shaped slightly differently. From there, the code should translate pretty directly

So good! Looking fwd to the next video

Thank you! I'm really hoping that this series (and whole channel) will be a practical way to teach the soft skills of software development: how to define and understand problems, break them down, prioritize and scope, and iteratively add features. The development lifecycle requires a lot more than just technical foundations, and I want to bring more of this complete view of software development to KZread

Yes, truly amazing. Very clear and logical. I'll never ever look at the game "CLUE" the same way again!

I have never lost a game of clue, the key is psychology plus logic.

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope it helps you win! The goal is to have a working web app that I'll post for everyone to use (and/or contribute code) in a few more videos. Then you'll be free to think through some of the other aspects of the game (ex. "what's suggestion should I make next to gain the most info?", "what do other people know, so I can avoid them learning too much from my next suggestion?", "is it worth moving all the way across the board to make a suggestion from room X?") and thinking through some of the uncovered edge cases that I haven't yet revealed. Stick around to see all those developments!

Cool video!

I'll take this under advisement, but it should be noted that whiteboard guy brings in peanut butter garlic sandwiches for lunch everyday, and generally is a party pooper

Looks like a complicated sudoku with way more moving parts. The rules does the rules say that if a suggestion is made then if u have a card u MUST refute yes?

@LetsGetIntoItMedia

9 ай бұрын

Thanks for taking the time to watch, and for the thoughtful question! Yes, the rules require players to show a matching card if they have it. Players can only pass if they don't have any. If players were *not* required to show cards, then there's no incentive to do so! Nobody would be very willing to give anyone else any information, so the game would be completely deadlocked forever. That wouldn't be any fun at all 😅 However, there's no rule against showing the *same* card multiple times to the same player! If you've already shown Anisha the Revolver, and she suggests it again, you might as well show her the Revolver one more time so you don't leak any additional information! And as Anisha, you should expect players to do exactly that, and therefore craft your suggestions so you don't end up with redundant information (which is a waste of a suggestion) This is one of the aspects of the game that the eventual code solution will not cover, but I have it listed as a future feature addition. If you'd like to see that added to the app, let me know!

@@LetsGetIntoItMedia thanks for the detailed reply. that makes sense. Also, thanks for the video, i kinda found out about a game i never heard about before

The better way to play was basically how my family has played since I was a kid, with numbers so you can use space on the cards given

@LetsGetIntoItMedia

So cool! Did someone teach you to play this way from the beginning? Or maybe you had an experience similar to mine... we played a lot one summer, and each time realized you can do better. We each developed our own way of writing things down, but it was all messy and nonstandard. So I wanted to consolidate it all into this simple standardized method.

@LetsGetIntoItMedia

9 ай бұрын

There are some edge cases that this method doesn't cover (outlined below), but it's nice to have a system so you can free up your brain to make those further observations. We'll get to try to tackle these edge cases in a later video! An uncovered edge case: You've identified 4 of 5 cards of Player A, i.e. they only have 1 unknown card. They have cards A, B, C and D (basically, none of the cards below) They refute a suggestion of cards (R, S, T) They also refute a suggestion of cards (T, U, V) Of course that means they have card T. It's the only way that last 1 unknown card can mean they were able to refute both suggestions.
